Driving position
Adopting a good driving position helps improve your comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility as well as access to controls.
Sitting comfortably
Driver
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the height of the seat so that your eyes
are level with the middle of the windscreen.
Your head should be at a distance of at least
10 cm from the roof.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
that you can fully depress the pedals with your
legs still slightly bent.
Passenger
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
that you are at a distance of at least 25 cm from
the dashboard.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge
is level with the top of your head.
If your vehicle has electric seats, the
ignition must be on to adjust them.
The distance between your knees and the
dashboard should be at least 10 cm, for easy
access to the controls in the dashboard.
Adjust the seat backrest angle to the most
vertical position possible; the backrest must not
be reclined more than 25° from vertical.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge
is level with the top of your head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support to fit the shape of
your spine.
Adjust the steering wheel so that it is at
distance of at least 25 cm from your chest
and
you are able to hold it with your arms slightly
bent.
The steering wheel must not obstruct your view
of the instrument panel.
As a safety measure, the seats and
steering wheel must only be adjusted
when stationary.
The presence in the vehicle of certain seat adjustments described in this section depends on the trim level and country of sale.

Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is nothing 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 jamming the seat if large objects are
placed on the floor behind the seat. To adjust the seat electrically, switch
on the ignition, or start the engine if the
vehicle has gone into energy economy
mode.
These electric adjustments remain
available for about a minute after
opening the driver's door. They are
deactivated about a minute after
switching off the ignition.

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfill their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the length
of the strap to your size. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling the strap firmly and
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact , the pretensioning device may
be deployed before and independently of the
airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Advice
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- b e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-
b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-
b
e used to restrain only one person,
-
n
ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-
n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
