Practical information

Head restraints and seat belts

Placing the bench seat in the

fully folded position

The three seats are equipped with

Bench seat

inertia reel seat belts. The seat belts of

the side seats are solid with the panels,

whereas the seat belt of the centre seat

is solid with the back of the bench seat.

Each seat has a head restraint bolted

onto the load retaining grille and which

can be removed.

Do not store a head restraint inside

the vehicle unless it is stowed or ﬁxed

to a support.

-

If necessary, move the front seats

forward and fasten the strap of the

seat belt of the centre seat.

Check that the seat belt straps and

buckles are positioned correctly

along the side panels, to ensure

that the sliding of the seat back

is not hindered.

The crew cab consists of a 3-seat

bench, located in row 2, the one-piece

back of which is solid with the "load

retainer" grille.

Access to the rear seats is via the sliding

side door.

-

Release the seat back using

the control A.

Do not drive with rear passengers

without ﬁrst bolting the head restraints

in place.

Practical information

Good practice

There is no need to assist, guide or

support using the arm which remains

free during the tilting movement.

The rear seat belt casings are not

designed for securing the load

transported. Use the stowing rings

on the ﬂoor only.

The bench seat of the crew cab is not

suitable for the installation of a child

seat.

-

Using the same hand, fold the seat

back and the associated grille onto

the seat cushion.

Putting the bench seat back

Raise the seat back.

The control A locks automatically.

Check that the bench is locked on

the ﬂoor correctly once it has been

returned to the seat position.

compartment free.

It permits the transportation of long loads

(2 metres maximum) with the doors or

tailgate closed. The long load must rest

on the overhead storage compartment

and the two bars.

Practical information

Storing

When the bars are not in use:

-

partially loosen the knurled wheels,

lift the bar slightly,

pivot it upwards by 180°,

tighten the knurled wheels.

Good practice

In the event of a front impact, the rack

is disengaged to avoid injury to the

occupants of the vehicle. The slight

clearance observed in the bar is linked

with this safety disengagement.

Do not loosen or place the bars in a

position other than those described

above.

The load on the rack must rest on the

overhead storage compartment and

be strapped using the strap passages

provided on the bars.

Fitting the bars

-

Unscrew the knurled wheels

located at the ends of the bars fully.

Take hold of the bar by the ends

to slide them towards the inside

to retract them.

-

Carry out the same operations

on the other side.

Ensure that they are engaged

correctly at the base of the notch.

Tighten the knurled wheels and

check the tightening by pushing

the bar sideways.

The bars are not grab handles for the

passengers.

-

Extract the metal end piece A taking

hold of the end of the bar like

a syringe.

To remove, proceed in the reverse

order.

-

Insert the end piece A on one side

then lower it to ﬁx it in the base of

the notch B.
