wheel to switch on and select the desired 
level of heating from 0
  (off) to 3   (h i g h).Prolonged use of the heated seats is not 
recommended for those with sensitive 
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose 
perception of heat is impaired (illness, 
taking medication, etc.).
To keep the heated pad intact and to 
prevent a short circuit:
-
 
d
 o not place sharp or heavy objects on 
the seat,
-  
d
 o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-  
d
 o not spill liquids onto the seat,
-  
n
 ever use the heating function if the 
seat is wet.
Do not use the function when the seat is 
not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as 
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger 
compartment have reached an adequate 
temperature, stop the function; reducing 
the consumption of electrical current 
reduces fuel consumption.

Removing the net
F Release the hooks from the rings 4 and 3.
F  R emove the lower fastener 2 then the upper 
fastener 1 , turning them by a quarter turn 
backwards to unlock them.
Make sure that the size, shape and 
volume of the loads carried are compatible 
with the highway code and safety 
regulations and do not impair the driver’s 
field of vision.
All loads must be appropriately secured 
to prevent or minimise displacement and 
prevent injury.
Install the anti-slip net (supplied with the 
vehicle) every time that the seat is raised 
and the partition flap removed.
Never use the net for any other purposes.
Regularly check the condition of the 
anti-slip net. As soon as signs of wear or 
tear appear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
to have it replaced by an anti-slip net 
that meets the specifications required by 
PEUGEOT for the vehicle.
Always fit the removable flap back into 
place when you are not carrying any long 
loads.

storage
Never use the table while the vehicle is

dangerous projectile that could cause 
injury in the event of sudden braking or 
collision.
Precautions for the seats 
and bench seats
Do not remove a head restraint without storing 
it and securing it to a support.
Ensure that the passengers can always access 
the seat belts and fasten them easily.
A passenger must not take their seat without 
adjusting the seat's head restraint correctly and 
adjusting and fastening their seat belt.
Ensure that no object or passenger feet 
could obstruct the anchorage points 
or prevent the correct latching of the 
assembly.

Recommendations on 
loading
The weight of the load must comply with 
the Gross Train Weight (GTW).
For more information on Engine 
technical data and towed loads, refer to 
the corresponding section.
If you are using a carrying system (roof 
bars/roof rack), comply with the maximum 
loads associated with this system.
For more information on Roof bars/Roof 
rack , refer to the corresponding section.
Make sure that the size, shape and 
volume of the loads carried are compatible 
with the highway code and safety 
regulations and do not impair the driver’s 
field of vision.
Steel or glass partitions separate the loading 
area from the cab.
The load must be evenly distributed in the 
loading area so as not to inter fere with 
driving the vehicle.
Place the load close to the side panels, 
or even push it against the side panels 
between the wheel arches.
However, it is recommended that heavy 
objects are placed as close to the cab as 
possible as a precaution in case of sharp 
braking.
Firmly secure all parts of the load using 
the stowing rings on the floor of the 
loading area.
For more information on the Interior 
fittings
and in particular on the stowing 
rings, refer to the corresponding section. To avoid the risk of injury or accident, the 
load must be made stable so that it cannot 
slide, tip over, fall or be thrown. To do this, 
use only retaining straps that conform to 
current standards (DIN for example).
For more information on putting straps 
in place, refer to the manufacturer’s user 
guide.
There must not be any empty space 
between the components of the load.
To prevent the load sliding, there must not 
be any empty space between the load and 
the panels of the vehicle.
As well as the straps, optimise the stability 
of the load with stable handling equipment 
(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
When washing your vehicle, never clean 
the inside directly using a water jet.

Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air 
conditioning system
F  
T
 o ensure that the air is distributed 
evenly, keep the external air intake 
grilles at the base of the windscreen, 
the nozzles, the vents, the air outlets 
and the air extractor in the boot free 
from obstructions.
F
 
D
 o not cover the sunshine sensor, 
located on the dashboard; this is used 
for regulation of the automatic air 
conditioning system.
F
 
O
 perate the air conditioning system for 
at least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice 
a month to keep it in per fect working 
o r d e r.
F
 
I
 f the system does not produce cold air, 
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a 
steep gradient in high temperatures, 
switching off the air conditioning increases 
the available engine power and so 
improves the towing ability. Avoid driving for too long with the 
ventilation off or with prolonged operation 
of the recirculation of interior air - risk of 
misting and deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high 
after the vehicle has stood for a long 
time in the sunshine, air the passenger 
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high 
enough to quickly change the air in the 
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air 
conditioning results in a discharge of 
water under the vehicle which is per fectly 
normal.

Servicing the ventilation and air 
conditioning system
F 
E
 nsure that the cabin filter is in good 
condition and have the filter elements 
replaced regularly.
It is recommend to use a combined 
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to 
its special active additive, it contributes 
to the purification of the air breathed by 
the occupants and the cleanliness of the 
passenger compartment (reduction of 
allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy 
deposits).
F
 
T
 o ensure correct operation of the air 
conditioning system, have it checked 
according to the recommendations in 
the Maintenance and Warranty Guide. Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems 
only work when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & 
Start system to maintain a comfortable 
temperature in the passenger 
compartment.
For more information on Stop & Star t
