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 reach so that it is at
least 25
cm from the sternum and you can hold it
with your arms slightly bent.
Adjust the steering wheel height so that it does
not obstruct the information displayed on 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. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Ease of use and comfort
3When 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.
Front head restraints
Adjusting the height

Upwards:
► Pull the head restraint up to the desired
position; you can feel the head restraint clicking
into position.
Downwards:
►

Depending on equipment, press lug A

or
button B and then, while still pressing, lower the
head restraint.
The head restraint is correctly adjusted when its upper edge is level with the top
of the head.
Removing a head restraint
► Pull the head restraint fully up.
► Press lug A to release the head restraint and
raise it fully.
►

Stow the head restraint securely
.
Refitting a head restraint

Mirrors
Door mirrors
Demisting/Defrosting
The demisting/defrosting of the door mirrors works with the demisting/
defrosting of the rear screen.
For more information on Rear screen
demisting/defrosting , refer to the
corresponding section.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects that you see in the mirrors are
in fact closer than they appear. Take this
into account in order to correctly judge the
distance of vehicles approaching from behind. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Driving
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►

Using a compressor
, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
►

If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately

, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►

In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre
blow-out. This is because analysis of the
values read by the wheel's speed sensors
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
► The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With the vehicle stationary, the system
can be reinitialised in the
Settings>Vehicle touch screen application.
►

Then select
Safety > Tire Pressure Setup.
►

Press
YES to confirm.
The

reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of
a message and an audible signal.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction,
these warning lamps light up on
the instrument panel.
A message appears, accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Non-standard or 'space-saver' spare
wheel
The use of this type of spare wheel may
suspend tyre pressure monitoring.
In this case, the malfunction warning lamp
comes on and disappears once the wheel
has been replaced by one of uniform size (the
same as the others), the pressure readjusted
and the
reinitialisation carried out.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance
and relative speed of other vehicles, and
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to
exceed the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the door and interior CarM an uals 2 .c o m

"Hold the steering
wheel" or "Stay in lane" (depending on version) If, while correcting the trajectory, the system determines that the correction will not be
enough and that a solid line will be crossed: the driver is warned that \
they must provide
additional trajectory adjustment.
If the steering wheel is not held properly, an audible warning sounds, accompanied by
a message, until the trajectory correction is completed or the driver ha\
s grasped the
steering wheel correctly.
The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple corrections a\
re performed
in quick succession. The warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver
responds.
