3Driving 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 
 
Follow these recommendations as closely as 
possible depending on the driver's stature.
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.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so 
that you can fully depress the pedals with legs 
slightly flexed.
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  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

3Advice
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.
►
 
T
o 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.
Eco driving mode
Selection of this mode optimises fuel 
consumption, but limits the performance 
of the heating and air conditioning, without 
however deactivating them.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Intensive use of the air conditioning 
reduces the vehicle range in  Electric mode.
Ventilation with the ignition on
When the ignition is switched on, the ventilation 
system and the air flow 2 and air distribution 
3 settings in the passenger compartment are 
activated, for a period which depends on the 
battery charge.
This function does not include the air 
conditioning system.
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.

5Airbags
General information
This system is designed to improve the safety 
of the occupants of 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 
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer t\
o the corresponding section.
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 
 
This system 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 
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    

86
Safety
steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, 
passenger's side, to cushion their forward 
movement.
Lateral airbags 
 
This system protects the driver and front 
passenger in the event of a serious side impact, 
limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between 
the hip and the shoulder. 
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
This system helps provide 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, 
these warning lamps light 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.   

87
Safety
5Passengers 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 fix or attach anything to the seat 
backrests (e.g.
  clothing) as this could cause 
injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is 
deployed.
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.
Active bonnet 
 
The active bonnet has been designed to 
optimise the safety of pedestrians in the event of 
collision with the front of the vehicle.
The pyrotechnic system is triggered at the 
hinges of the bonnet to lift it, when the sensors 
located at the front of the vehicle detect a 
collision.
Deployment of the active bonnet is 
accompanied by a slight discharge of 
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge 
incorporated in the system. The airbag 
warning lamp comes on.
After triggering, do not try to open or close 
the bonnet. Call a towing company or go to 
the nearest PEUGEOT dealer or qualified 
workshop, driving at a speed below 19 mph 
(30
  km/h).
Make sure that you adjust the height of the 
driver's seat - risk of hindrance to visibility!
This equipment will only trigger once. If a  second impact occurs (during the same 
or a subsequent accident), the active bonnet 
will not trigger.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been 
stolen, have the system checked.
Do not tamper with the pyrotechnic systems 
under the bonnet, close to the struts - risk of 
explosion!
All work must be carried out only by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal. You must contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the 
system checked.
The active bonnet may not deploy in the event of 
an impact.
