ADDITIONAL HEATING SYSTEMS
Supplementary heating
On the 2-3 seats version, this is located
under the seat on the driver ’s side with air
diffusion directed forwards.REAR HEATING AND/OR AIR
CONDITIONING
If your vehicle is fitted with an
additional air conditioning unit,
located in the rear of the vehicle:
the distribution rail located in
the roof and the individual diffusion vents
provide a perfect diffusion of cold air.
The warm air diffused at the floor, from the
front air conditioning unit, is distributed at
the feet of the rear passengers of rows 2
and 3.
A warm air diffusion vent, located on the rear
left wheelarch, may complete the assembly
for the feet of the rear passengers of row 3.
Additional heating
This is an additional passenger compartment
heating system which supplements the
standard equipment.
It can operate independently of the engine.
Depending on the level of finish of the
equipment, its start-up can be programmed.
Additional heater or programmable
heating
This is an additional and autonomous
system which heats the diesel engine hot
coolant loop to make starting easier.
It improves the de-icing and demisting
performance and that of the heated seats, if
fitted in the vehicle.
The passenger compartment heating is
brought up to temperature more rapidly.
This system must be programmed to start up
before you enter the vehicle.
On the 5-9 seats version, it is
located at the rear. Depending
on the model version, the air
diffusion is either direct from the
rear or comes from the rail located under
each of the two rows of seats.
Press this control to activate/
deactivate the heating. The diode
is lit if the heating is activated.
When rapid de-icing and
demisting is required, switch off the control.

SOUNDPROOFING
The Boxer benefits from a suspension which
contributes to improving general comfort.
These developments also contribute to
reducing noise disturbance.
IMPROVED COMFORT
TREATMENT OF THE BODYWORK
LEADING TO ACOUSTIC COMFORT
The underseal under the body, on the body
sills and on the wheel arches considerably
reduces noise and protects the body from
external attack.
The Boxer is treated by cataphoresis,
ensuring perfect protection against
corrosion. The anticorrosion warranty has a
duration of 6 years.

will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, select
ON to re-activate the air bag and thus ensure
the safety of your passenger in the event of
an impact.Side air bags and curtain air bags
If your vehicle is fitted with side air bags,
these are incorporated into the front seat

The curtain air bags are incorporated into
the door pillars and the upper part of the
passenger compartment, in the roof over the
front cab seats.
They inflate between the occupant and the
glass.
They are deployed independently of each
other depending on which side the collision
occurs.
The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel comes on
throughout the period of disarming.
To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to disarm the passenger air bag
when you install a rear-facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the air bag were to inflate.
If your vehicle is not fitted with this
equipment: do not install a rear-facing child
seat. Disarming check

be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
