General

recommendations for the

seats

For safety reasons, seat adjustments

must only be made when the vehicle is

stationary.

Folding or unfolding the seat backrests

must only be done with the vehicle

stationary.

Before moving the seat backwards,

ensure that there is no person or object

that might prevent the full travel of the seat.

There is a risk of trapping or pinching

passengers if present in the rear seats or of

jamming the seat if large objects are placed

on the floor behind the seat.

Do not place hard or heavy objects on

the backrests forming a table. They could

become dangerous projectiles in the event of

sudden braking or a collision.

– Do not remove a head restraint without

stowing it; secure it to a support inside the

vehicle.

– Check that the seat belts remain accessible

to the passenger and easy to fasten.

– Passengers must never take their seat

without adjusting and fastening their seat belt.

– In row 3, be careful not to leave your feet

under the row 2 seat while it is being tilted.

– When a row 3 seat is in the fully folded

position, ensure that the strap is correctly

hooked to the Top Tether fixing of the row 2

backrest: risk of unexpected tipping of the

seat.

Before carrying out the manoeuvres,

check that nothing and no one is

obstructing the moving elements and their

locking.

To avoid sudden folding, take care to hold the

backrest and support it until it is horizontal.

Never

put your hand underneath the seat

cushion to guide the seat downwards or

upwards, you could get your fingers trapped.

Place your hand on the grip/strap (depending

on equipment) at the top of the seat cushion.

Please note: an incorrectly latched

backrest compromises the safety of

passengers in the event of sudden braking or

an impact.

The contents of the boot may be thrown

forward - risk of severe injury!

Front seats

Correct driving position

Before taking to the road and to make the most

of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and

controls, carry out these adjustments in the

following order:

– head restraint height.

– seat backrest angle.

– seat cushion height.

– longitudinal seat position.

– steering wheel height and reach.

– rear view mirror and door mirrors.

Once these adjustments have been

made, check that the instrument panel

can be viewed correctly from your driving

position.

is not occupied.

Reduce the heating intensity as soon as

possible.

When the seat and passenger compartment

have reached a satisfactory temperature,

53

Ease of use and comfort

switch the function off; reducing electrical

consumption in turn decreases energy

consumption.

Prolonged use of heated seats is not

recommended for people with sensitive

skin.

There is a risk of burns for people whose

perception of heat is impaired (e.g. illness,

taking medication).

To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent

a short circuit:

– Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the
