Ease of use and comfort
Driving position
Correct seating position
Adopting a good driving position contributes to 
improving driver comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility as 
well as access to controls.
Certain seat adjustments described in this 
section depend on the trim level and the country 
in which the vehicle is sold.
Driver’s side 
 
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back 
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the seat cushion height so that your eyes 
are level with the centre of the windscreen.
The head should be at a minimum distance of 
10  cm from the roof.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so 
that you can fully depress the pedals with legs 
slightly flexed.
The distance between the knees and the 
dashboard should be at least 10   cm, for easy 
access to the dashboard controls.
Adjust the backrest angle to as vertical a position 
as possible; never tilt it more than 25°.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is 
level with the top of the head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support 
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to 
the shape of the spine.
Adjust the steering wheel so that it is at least 
25
  cm from the sternum and you can hold it with 
the arms slightly bent.
The steering wheel should not hide the 
instrument panel.
As a safety precaution, adjust the seats  only when the vehicle is stationary.
Electrically-adjustable seats
Switch the ignition on to enable the 
adjustments to be made.
Passenger’s side 
 
Sit fully back in the seat with the 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 the head.
Before moving off
Adjust the interior and exterior door mirrors to 
reduce blind spots.
Fasten the seat belt: place the diagonal belt in 
the middle of the shoulder and adjust the lap belt 
so that it is tightened across the pelvis.
Ensure that all passengers have fastened their 
seat belts correctly.
Electric door mirrors
Switch the ignition on to enable the 
adjustments to be made.
When driving
Maintain a good driving position and hold the 
steering wheel with both hands at the 'quarter to 
three' position, so that you can easily and quickly 
reach the controls behind and near the steering 
wheel.
Never adjust the seats or steering wheel 
when driving.
Always keep your feet on the floor.
Front seats
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.

Ease of use and comfort
a continuous storage floor through to the back 
of the front seats.
By placing the front passenger seat in the 
table position, you obtain a continuous 
storage floor through to the dashboard.
Operations on the seats must only be 
done when the vehicle is stationary.
Heating and Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment 
is filtered and originates either from the 
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the 
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation 
mode.
Controls
Depending on version, the controls are 
accessible in the Climate touch screen menu 
or are grouped together on the centre console 
panel.
Air distribution 
 
1. Windscreen demisting/de-icing vents
2. Front side window demisting/de-icing vents
3. Adjustable and closable side air vents
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents
5. Air outlets to the front footwells
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells
7. Adjustable and closable air vents, with blower 
(depending on version)
Advice
Using the ventilation and air 
conditioning system
►
 
T
o ensure that 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.
►
 
Do not cover the sunshine sensor located 
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to 
regulate the automatic air conditioning 
system.
►
 
Operate the air conditioning system for at 
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to 
keep it in good working order
.
►
 
If the system does not produce cold air
 , 
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient 
in high temperatures, switching off the air 
conditioning increases the available engine 
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the  ventilation off or with prolonged operation 
of interior air recirculation. 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.
Condensation created by the air 
conditioning results in a discharge of 
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly 
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air 
conditioning system
►  Ensure that the passenger compartment 
filter is in good condition and have the filter 
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger 
compartment filter. Its specific active additive 
helps protect against polluting gases and bad 
smells.
►  To ensure correct operation of the 
air conditioning system, have it checked 
according to the recommendations in the 
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems 
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start 
system to maintain a comfortable temperature 
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the  Stop & 
Start system, refer to the corresponding 
section.
Dual-zone automatic air 
conditioning
This system automatically controls the activation 
of the air conditioning system, regulating the 
temperature, air flow and air distribution inside 
the passenger compartment.

Refer to the corresponding section.
Single wipe
► Pull the stalk briefly towards you.
In position 1 or 2, the wiping frequency is 
automatically reduced when the speed of 
the vehicle drops below 3
  mph (5   km/h).
When the speed is above 6
  mph (10   km/h) 
again, the wiping frequency returns to the 
original frequency (fast or normal).
Ha a gyújtást úgy vették le, hogy az 
ablaktörlők jártak, működtesse újra a kart 
a törlés ismételt bekapcsolásához, amint 
visszakapcsolta a gyújtást (kivéve, ha a 
gyújtás levétele egy percen belül történt).
After switching off the ignition, a slight  movement of the windscreen wipers to 
store them under the bonnet may occur.
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and 
hold.
A
 final wiping cycle is performed when 
screenwashing ends.
The windscreen wash jets are  incorporated into the tip of each wiper 
arm.
Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length 
of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and 
reduces screenwash fluid consumption.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do  not operate the screenwash if the 
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no 
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen 
and hindering visibility. During the winter 
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.

the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety 
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's 
seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with 
the skills and equipment needed, which a 
PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
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.
Airbags
General information
System designed to help improve the safety 
of the occupants sitting in the front seats and 
the rear outer seats, in the event of a violent 
collision. The airbags supplement the action 
of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting 
system.
Electronic detectors record and analyse the 
front and side impacts sustained in the impact 
detection zones:
– In the event of violent impact, the airbags 
deploy instantly and help better protect the 
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the 
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not 
to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the 
occupants.
–
 
In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact 
and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags 
may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to 
protect you in these situations.
The seriousness of the impact depends on the 
nature of the obstacle and the speed of the 
vehicle at the moment of collision.
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
When one or more airbags are deployed, 
the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge 
incorporated in the system makes a noise and 
releases a small quantity of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive 
individuals may experience irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the 
deployment of one or more airbags may result 
in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags 
 
System that protects the driver and front 
passenger in the event of a serious front impact, 
limiting the risk of head and chest injury.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the 
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is 
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
The front airbags are adaptive. In  particular, they inflate less firmly in the   

96
Safety
presence of a smaller occupant, with the seat 
set in a forward longitudinal position.
Deployment
They deploy, except the front passenger airbag 
if it is deactivated*, in the event of a serious front 
impact to all or part of the front impact zone A.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax and 
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the 
steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, 
passenger's side, to cushion their forward 
movement.
Lateral airbags 
 
In the event of a serious side impact, this system 
protects the driver and front passenger to 
mitigate the risk of injury to the chest, between 
the hip and the shoulder.
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer t\
o the corresponding section.Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest 
frame, on the door side.
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in 
the event of a serious side impact applied to all 
or part of the side impact zone B.
The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of 
the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding 
door panel.
Curtain airbags
System contributing towards greater protection 
for the driver and passengers (with the exception 
of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a 
serious side impact in order to limit the risk of 
injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and 
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding 
lateral airbag in the event of a serious side 
impact applied to all or part of the side impact 
zone B.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front 
and rear occupants of the vehicle and the 
corresponding windows.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp lights up on the instrument panel. 
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may not be deployed in the event of 
a serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump at 
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle 
rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision, none of 
the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective, 
observe the safety recommendations 
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.
Do not place anything between the occupants 
and the airbags (e.g.
  child, animal, object), do 
not fix or attach anything near or in the path of 
the airbags, as this could cause injuries when 
they are deployed.
Never modify the original definition of the 
vehicle, particularly in the area directly around 
the airbags.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are 
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to 
the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out 
when an airbag is deployed. The bag inflates 
almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) 
then deflates within the same time, 
discharging the hot gas via openings provided 
for this purpose.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been 
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work must be carried out only by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel 
by its spokes or resting your hands on the 
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the 
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags 
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a 
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or 
hit it violently.
Do not fix or attach anything to the steering 
wheel or dashboard, as this could cause 
injuries when the airbags are deployed.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved seat covers 
compatible with the deployment of these 
airbags. For information on the range of seat 
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer.

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!
All work must be carried out only by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof, 
as this could cause head injuries when the 
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on 
the roof, as these help to secure the curtain 
airbags.
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 observe the 
following recommendations:
–
 
In accordance with European regulations, 
all children under the age of 12 or less than 
1,5 metres tall must travel in approved child 
seats suited to their weight , on seats fitted with 
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
–
 
Statistically
 , the safest seats in your 
vehicle for carrying children are the rear 
seats.
–
 
Children weighing less than 9 kg must 
travel in the "rearward facing" position, 
whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel 
on the rear seats  of the vehicle:
–
 
‘rearward facing’ up to the age of 3,
–
 
‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly 
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that 
the support leg is in firm and steady contact 
with the floor.
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat  compromises the child's safety in the 
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt 
buckle under the child seat, as this could 
destabilise it.
