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

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.

backrest is 50 kg.
To replace the seat, lift the backrest until the seat
locks into position on the floor.
Never put your hand underneath the seat
cushion to guide the seat downwards or
upwards, you could get your fingers trapped.
Always just use the strap.
Before carrying out these manoeuvres, check
that nothing and nobody is obstructing the
moving elements and their locking.
Folded position

► Lift the yellow crank at the base of the seat to
unlock and lift the assembly into folded position
(seat raised against the backrest) until it locks.
This position allows the transport of high loads
inside the cab.
T
o replace the seat, push on the yellow crank
under the seat and lower the assembly until the
seat locks into position on the floor.
Never put your hand underneath the seat
cushion to guide the seat downwards or
upwards, you could get your fingers trapped.

For safety reasons, seat adjustments
must only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Folding the backrests
First steps:
► lower the head restraints,
►

if necessary
, move the front seats forward,
►

check that nothing or no person might
interfere with the folding of the backrests
(clothing, luggage, etc.),
►


check that the outer seat belts are lying flat
on the backrests.
The folding of the backrest is accompanied by a slight lowering of the
corresponding seat cushion.
When the backrest is released, the red
indicator is visible in the release grips on the
outer seats.


► Turn the backrest release handle 1.
► Guide the backrest down to the horizontal
position.
Repositioning the backrests
First check that the outer seat belts are
lying vertically flat alongside the backrest
latching rings.

Safety
Have the 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.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic
pretensioner device may trigger before
and independently of airbag deployment.
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
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with the
exception of the centre seat in row 2) in the
event of violent collisions.

Each rear seat is equipped with a seat belt but
no pyrotechnic pretensioning system or force
limiter.
Take care to insert each seatbelt into its
matching buckle.
Do not interchange the belts or buckles for the
outer seats with the belt or buckle for the centre
seat.
Seat belt(s) warning lamp



With individual front seats
On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp
comes on if a seat belt is not fastened or is
unfastened.
At speeds above approximately 12 mph
(20 km/h), the warning lamp flashes for 2
minutes, accompanied by an audible signal.
Once these 2 minutes have elapsed, the
warning lamp remains on until the driver and/or
passenger fasten their seat belt.
With two-seat front bench seat (and
driver’s seat)
On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp
comes on if the driver’s seat belt is not fastened
or is unfastened.
On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp
comes on if a passenger seat belt is unfastened.
At speeds above approximately 12 mph
(20
km/h), the warning lamp flashes for 2
minutes, accompanied by an audible signal.
Once these 2 minutes have elapsed, the warning
lamp remains on until the driver fastens their
seat belt.
Advice
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 fulfil their role fully.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
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.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
–

be tightened as close to the body as
possible,
–


be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not twist,
–


be used to restrain only one person,
–


not show any signs of cuts or fraying,
–


not be converted or modified in order not to
affect its performance.
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 child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
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.
