2011 PEUGEOT 308 remove seats

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Head restraint height and angle
adjustment


)
To raise the head restraint, pull it for-
wards and upwards at the same time.

)
To remove the head restraint, press
the lug A
and pull the head restraint
upwards.

)
To put the head restraint back in
place, engage the head restraint
stems in the openings keeping them
in line with the seat back.

)
To lower the head restraint, press
the lug A
and the head restraint at
the same time.

)
To adjust the angle of the head re-
straint, tilt its lower part forwards or
rearwards. The head restraint is fi tted with
a frame with notches which
prevents it from lowering; this
is a safety device in case of impact.

The adjustment is correct when the
upper edge of the head restraint is
level with the top of the head.

Never drive with the head restraints
removed; they must be in place and
adjusted correctly.



Manual lumbar adjustment


)
Turn the knob to obtain the desired
level of lumbar support.

COMFORT

Folding the seat from the boot

Each section of the bench seat (1/3 or
2/3) has its own control to release the
seat back and its seat cushion from the
boot.


)
Check that nothing is preventing
the seat back from folding (head re-
straint, seat belts, ...),

)
check also that no object on or under
the seat could hinder its movement,

)
pull the control from the boot.













REAR SEATS

Never drive with rear passen-
gers when the head restraints
are removed; the head re-
straints must be in place and in the
high position.


Rear head restraints

These have a high position (comfort and
safety) and a low position (rear visibility).
They can also be removed.
To remove a head restraint:


)
pull the head restraint fully upwards,

)
then, press the lug A
. Bench seat the left-hand (2/3) or right-
hand (1/3) section of which can be fold-
ed to adapt the boot load space.

Luggage retaining net

Hooked onto the stowing rings on the
movable boot fl oor, the luggage retaining
net available as an accessory enables
you to secure your luggage.
Observe the loads indicated on the side
of the boot, in accordance with the posi-
tion of the movable fl oor.
For safety reasons in case of sharp
braking, we recommend that heavy ob-
jects are placed on the fl oor as close as
possible to the back of the rear seats.

CHILD SAFETY
INSTALLING CHILD SEATS WITH A STAY

Precautions must be taken when installing a child seat with a stay (or drop down leg). In particular, take care when there is a
storage compartment present in the rear footwells.
Do not place the stay on the
storage compartment cover,
it could break in a serious im-
pact. Where the range of adjustment
for the stay allows, we suggest two
other possibilities for installation.

At the bottom of the storage
compartment
If the stay is long enough, you can place
it in contact with the bottom of the stor-
age compartment. Remove all objects
before installing the stay.


Outside the storage
compartment area
One other possibility, where the stay is
long enough and can be inclined suffi -
ciently (while observing the recommen-
dations in the fi tting instructions for the
child seat), is to position the stay so that
it is in contact with the fl oor away from
the storage compartment. Remember
to use the adjustment of the seat posi-
tion to obtain a satisfactory position for
the stay which is away from the storage
compartment.

If you cannot fi t the stay in
the way described, we recom-
mend that you do not fi t a child
seat with a stay in this position.

CHILD SAFETY
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS


Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder with-
out touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fi tted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- a child or children alone and unsu-
pervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,

- the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle. To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the
"Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forwards-facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless the
rear seats are already occupied by other
children, cannot be used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when
a "rearwards-facing" child seat is in-
stalled on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate. The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack relative to the child's body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat fi rmly
on the seat of your vehicle. Move the
seat forwards if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat and
that the head restraint does not cause
any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.

SAFETY













For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the
following safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when
an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled
out. The bag infl ates almost instantly
(within a few milliseconds) then defl ates
within the same time discharging the
hot gas via openings provided for this
purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deploy-
ment of the airbags can cause burns
or the risk of injury from a cigarette
or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.


Lateral airbags

Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lat-
eral airbags. For information on the range
of seat covers suitable for your vehicle,
you can contact a PEUGEOT dealer (see
"Practical information - § Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
seat backs (clothing...). This could
cause injury to the chest or arms if
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
roof. This could cause injury to the
head if the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fi tted on your vehicle, do not re-
move the grab handles installed on
the roof, they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.
