Total or selective unlocking




Complete unlocking unlocks all the vehicle’s
doors (front, side and rear).


Selective unlocking unlocks either the cabin

the locks.
If the boot is open, only the locking of the
other doors is carried out. The indicator lamp
in the button remains off.
When locking from inside, the door
mirrors do not fold.
The indicator lamp also goes off when unlocking one or more accesses.

temporary.
Side-hinged doors
Keeping the left-hand door closed with the
right-hand door open


It is possible to drive with the right-hand
door open, to enable the transportation
of long loads.
The left-hand door is kept closed by the
distinctive "yellow" lock, positioned at the
base of the door.
This closed door must not be used to retain
loads.
Driving with the right-hand door open is a
special dispensation. Please comply with the
usual safety instructions on how to warn other
drivers.

36
Access
On a steep slope

Take care when opening doors while the vehicle
is on a slope facing uphill. The sloping terrain
could cause the door to open more quickly than
usual.
On a steep slope, manually guide the side door
to help it to close.
If the vehicle is on a slope facing downhill,
the door may not stay open, instead closing
suddenly, with a risk of injury. Always hold
the door to ensure that it does not close
unexpectedly.
On a steep slope, the door's weight may
cause it to move, opening or closing
suddenly as a result.
Avoid leaving the vehicle unsupervised on a
steep slope with one or more doors open. If
this advice is not followed, injuries or damage
may occur if a person or an object is trapped
or caught.

–


While pressing on the rear roof flap
(downwards), take the two spring rings and then

transporting long loads, after opening the rear
roof flap.
►

Fold back the support bar by lifting the lever

Never drive without the support bar in
place.
The rear doors will only lock when the support
bar is installed.

Ease of use and comfort
General
recommendations for the
seats
For safety reasons, seat adjustments
must only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Folding or unfolding the seat backrests
must only be done with the vehicle
stationary.
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no person or object
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 of
jamming the seat if large objects are placed
on the floor behind the seat.
Do not place hard or heavy objects on
the backrests forming a table. They could
become dangerous projectiles in the event of
sudden braking or a collision.
–

Do not remove a head restraint without
stowing it; secure it to a support inside the
vehicle.
–


Check that the seat belts remain accessible
to the passenger and easy to fasten.
–


Passengers must never take their seat
without adjusting and fastening their seat belt.
Before carrying out the manoeuvres,
check that nothing and no one is
obstructing the moving elements and their
locking.
To avoid sudden folding, take care to hold the
backrest and support it until it is horizontal.
Never put your hand underneath the seat
cushion to guide the seat downwards or
upwards, you could get your fingers trapped.
Place your hand on the grip/strap (depending
on equipment) at the top of the seat cushion.
Please note: an incorrectly latched
backrest compromises the safety of
passengers in the event of sudden braking or
an impact.
The contents of the boot may be thrown
forward - risk of severe injury!
Front seats
PEUGEOT i-Cockpit

Before taking to the road and to make the
most of the ergonomic layout of the PEUGEOT
i-Cockpit, carry out these adjustments in the
following order:
–

head restraint height.
–


seat backrest angle.
–


seat cushion height.
–


longitudinal seat position.
–


steering wheel depth and then height.
–


rear view mirror and door mirrors.
Once these adjustments have been
made, check that the "head up"
instrument panel can be viewed correctly over
the smaller diameter steering wheel.
Adjustments
Longitudinal


► Raise the control and slide the seat forwards
or backwards.
Height
(driver only)

► If the vehicle is so equipped, pull the control
upwards to raise or push it downwards to lower,
as many times as necessary to obtain the
position required.
For more information on the Seat belts,
refer to the corresponding section.
