The adjustment is correct when the top of the head restraint is aligned with the top of the head of the occupant of the seat.
Never drive with the head re-straints removed and stored in the vehicle. This is dangerous and they may be thrown in the event of sharp braking. They must be in place and adjusted correctly.
To change the position of the armrest:
 Lift the handle 1.
The armrest folds forwards and upwards.
To return to the initial position, push the armrest backwards and press it to engage.
Operate the lever to obtain the correct position.To raise or lower the head restraint, pull it forwards then slide it.
To tilt the head restraint, tilt the lower part forwards or backwards.
To remove the head restraint, move it almost to the highest position, lift the tab using a coin and pull it forwards and upwards at the same time.
To refit the head restraint, engage the stalks in the holes keeping in line with the seat back.

REAR SEATS (SALOON)
Note: the seat cushion 1 can be re-moved with care to increase the vol-ume of the load space.
Squeeze the seat cushion fixings to detach them from their fastenings.
When repositioning:
 fold up the seat back 2 and lock it (the red marker of control 3 should no longer be visible),
 fold up the seat 1,
 refit the head restraints if they were removed.
Locking/unlocking the access to the boot via the rear seats
Your vehicle’s boot can be isolated from the passenger compartment.
The red indicator on the control 3 should no longer be visible. If it is, push the seat fully.
Insert the ignition key in the lock 4.

"Forwards-facing"
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT
GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of PEUGEOT’s main cri-teria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
* The rules for transporting children are specific to each country. Consult the current legislation in your coun-try.** According to model.
Intermediate longitudinal position
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is installed on the front passenger seat, it is essential that the passenger air bag** is disarmed. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously in-jured or killed if the air bag were to inflate.
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is installed on the front passenger seat, adjust the vehicle’s seat to the intermediate longitudinal position with the seat back upright and leave the passenger air bag armed**.
For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:
- in accordance with Directive 2003/20, all children under the age of 12 or less than one metre fifty 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 the transportation of children are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearwards-fac-ing" position both in the front and in the rear.
PEUGEOT recommends that children should travel in the rear seats of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the age of 2.
"Rearwards-facing"

ADVICE ON CHILD
SEATS
Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the "forward facing" position on the front passenger seat, unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children, cannot be used or are absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag* when a "rear facing" child seat is installed on the front seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the air bag were to inflate.
* According to version.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child’s shoulder without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the child’s thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors, use the "Child lock"*.
Take care not to open the rear windows by more than one third*.
To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child’s protection in the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses keeping the slack in relation to the child’s body to a minimum, even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward facing" child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is in contact with the back of the vehicle’s seat and that the head restraint does not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed, ensure that it is stored or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking.
