tion has been stored.
Storing a new position cancels the
previous one.
Recalling a stored driving position
During access to the rear seats,
the storing and recalling of the
driving positions are deactivated.

REAR SEATS
To fold down the rear left seat or the
rear right seat, always start with the
seat cushion, never with the seat back
(risk of damage):

 move the front seat(s) forward if
necessary,

 place the head restraints in the low
position or remove them if necessary.
Check that the seat belt strap is positioned correctly at the side of
the seat back,


release the front of the seat cushion 1
by passing your hands underneath and
lifting at each end A ,

 lift the front of the seat cushion 1 ,

 tilt the seat cushion 1 against the
front seat(s),

 pull control 3 forwards to release
the seat back 2 ,

 fold down the seat back 2 (left 1/3
or right 2/3).
Note: the one-piece seat cushion 1
can be removed, with care, to increase
the volume of the load space.
Squeeze the seat cushion fi xings 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 ,

 refi t the head restraints if they were
removed.
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 .
Transporting long objects
In exceptional circumstances , a rear seat back can be folded without folding
the seat cushion 1 in order to transport
long, light objects (risk of damage to
the seat cushion).
When putting the seat backs
and the seat cushion back in
place, ensure that they are
secured correctly to ensure
your safety and take care not to trap
the seat belts. When transporting long ob-
jects, do not place a load
weighing more than 30 kg on
the rear of the seat back.
Do not place rough objects on the rear of
the seat back as this could damage it.

Although one of PEUGEOT's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends
on you. "Forwards-facing"
* The rules for carrying children are specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
"Rearwards-facing"
For maximum safety, please
observe the following recom-
mendations:
When a "rearwards-facing"
child seat is installed on the

front passenger seat , it is
essential that the passenger
airbag is deactivated. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously in-
jured or killed if the airbag were to
infl ate .
- in accordance with European reg-
ulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and
a half metres tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fi tted with a
seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for carrying chil-
dren are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the front
and in the rear.

PEUGEOT recommends that chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats of
your vehicle:
-

"rearwards-facing" up to the age of 2,
-
"forwards-facing" over the age of 2.
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 airbag activated.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
If the head restraint has to be removed, ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking.
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.
Deactivate the passenger airbag *
when a "rear facing" child seat is in-
stalled on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate. As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and un-
supervised 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 protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.
* According to country.
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 harness
keeping the
slack in relation to the child's body to
a minimum , even for short journeys.
To install a child seat using the ve-
hicle's seat belt, ensure that the belt
is well tightened on the child seat
and that it holds the child seat fi rmly
against the vehicle's seat.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward 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.
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, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
