Heated seats (depending on vehicle)

With the engine running, turn control 4 to one of positions 1, 2 or 3 (depending on the desired temperature).

An indicator light comes on in the instrument panel as soon as the heating of one of the front seats is on.

The system, which is thermostatically controlled, determines, depending on the selected position, whether heating is necessary.

For safety reasons, make these adjustments with the vehicle stationary.

To avoid impairing the effectiveness of the seat belts, we advise you not to recline the seatbacks too far.

No objects should be placed on the floor (driver's front footwell): in the event of hard braking, such objects may slide under the pedals and prevent their use.

To adjust the driver's seat lumbar support: lower lever 5 to increase support and raise it to decrease support.

Table position: depending on the vehicle, the passenger-side backrest can fold down onto the seat cushion to form a table position.

Lower the head restraint, move the seat rearward, pull handle 6 and fold the backrest fully down.

For your safety, secure any transported items when the seat is in the table position.When folding the front seat backrest into the table position, you must deactivate the front passenger airbag (refer to the paragraph "Child safety: deactivating and activating the front passenger airbag" in chapter 1).

Risk of serious injury in the event of airbag deployment from objects placed on the backrest folded into the table position.

A driving position combines the settings of the seat cushion, the seatback and the driver's seat.

The system operates when:
