Heating and Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger
compartment is filtered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at the
base of the windscreen or from the inside in air
recirculation mode.
Controls
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver, the front passenger or rear passengers,
depending on the level of equipment.
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfort required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to
select the air vents used in the passenger
compartment by the combined use of the
associated buttons.
Air distribution
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.
Depending on your vehicle, the controls are
accessible in the " Air conditioning" menu of
the touch screen or are grouped together on
the control panel of the centre console.

Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.
Rear seat belts

2. Front left seat belt warning lamp.
3. Front right seat belt warning lamp.
4. Rear right seat belt warning lamp.
5. Rear centre seat belt warning lamp.
6. Rear left seat belt warning lamp.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h), the
warning lamp(s) flashes for two minutes
accompanied by an audible signal. Once
these two minutes have elapsed, the warning
lamp(s) remains on until the driver and/or the
passenger fastens their seat belt.
Each of the rear seats is fitted with a three-
point seat belt with inertia reel and force limiter
(except for the centre rear seat).

Maintenance
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.
Instructions 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 child.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats , refer
to the corresponding section. In case of impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact
, the
pyrotechnic pretensioner 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 belt
system checked, and, if necessary,
replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Airbags
General information
System designed to contribute towards improving
passenger safety (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action of
the seat belts fitted with force limiters (all except
the rear centre passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute towards
better protection of the occupants of the
vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not
hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or
in certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards ensuring your protection
in these situations.
Safety

95
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the
product range of seat covers suitable for
your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could
cause injuries to the thorax or arm when
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include
side impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior
trim could compromise the operation of
these sensors – risk of malfunction of the
lateral airbags!
Such work must only be done by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.General points relating to
child seats
The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-

I

n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must

both in the front and in the rear.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of your vehicle:

-
"forward facing " over the age of 3. Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and
tightened correctly.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady
contact with the floor.
