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.

placed on it.
Rear bench seat
Rear head restraints

They have two positions:
– A high position , for when the seat is in use:
►

Pull the head restraint fully up.
–

A low position , for stowing, when the seat is
not in use: ►

Press the lug
A to release the head
restraint and push it down.
The rear head restraints can be removed.
Removing a head restraint
► Release the backrest using control 1 .
► T ilt the backrest slightly forwards.
►

Pull the head restraint fully up.
►


Press the lug
A to release the head restraint
and remove it completely.
Refitting a head restraint
► Insert the head restraint rods into the guides
in the corresponding backrest.
►

Push the head restraint fully down.
►


Press the lug
A to release the head restraint
and push it down.
Never drive with passengers seated at
the rear when the head restraints are
removed; the head restraints should be in
place and in the high position.
The head restraint for the centre seat
and those for the outer seats are not
interchangeable.
Folding the backrests

Each section of the backrest has two release
controls:
–

A
grip 1 on the outer edge of the backrest.
–

A
lever 2 on the boot side trim.
The backrests should only be manoeuvred when the vehicle is
stationary.
First steps:
►

Lower the head restraints.
►


Lift up the rear armrest.
►


If necessary
, move the front seats forward.
►

Check
that no person or object might interfere
with the folding of the backrests (e.g.
clothing,
luggage).
►

Check that the outer seat belts are lying flat
on the backrests.
The folding of the backrest is accompanied by a slight lowering of the
corresponding cushion.
To obtain a flat surface, it is necessary to
place the adjustable boot floor in the high
position.
When the backrest is released, the red
indicator in the release grip is visible.

Ease of use and comfort
► Press backrest release handle 1 .

► Guide the backrest 3 down to the horizontal
position.
From the boot

► Pull the backrest release lever 2 towards you.
The backrest 3 folds fully onto the cushion.
Repositioning the backrests
First check that the outer seat belts are
lying vertically flat alongside the backrest
latching rings.


► Straighten the backrest 3 and push it firmly to
latch it into place.
►

Check that the red indicator is no longer
visible in the release grip 1

.
►

Ensure that the outer seat belts were not
trapped during the operation.
Please note: an incorrectly latched
backrest compromises the safety of
passengers in the event of sudden braking or
an accident.
The contents of the boot may be thrown
forwards - risk of serious injury!
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, certain controls
are accessible in the Climate touch
screen application and/via the control panel on
the centre console.

Safety
accompanied by a message and an audible
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off
the ignition.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Emergency braking
assistance (EBA)
This system reduces the emergency stopping
distance, by optimising the braking pressure.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is depressed. The effect of this
is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Post Collision Safety Brake
(PCSB)
If an accident is detected, the vehicle initiates
automatic post collision braking. The goal of this
system is to reduce the risk of further collisions if
the driver does not react. The system is not operational if the capability
of the vehicle is to trigger and execute the
automatic post collision braking is not available,
as it can occur in destructive accidents or in
other specific accident scenarios.
It is possible to override the automatic braking by
pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
Operating conditions
The system operates, if the following conditions
are met:
–

Airbags or pyrotechnic seat belt pretensioners
have been deployed by the collision.
–


Braking systems and electric functions remain
continuously operational during and after
collision.
–


Driver has not depressed the brake or
accelerator pedal.
Malfunction
In the event of a
malfunction, one of these
warning lamps will come on fixed on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the Service
warning lamp, the display of a message and an
audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/ Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises
traction by using engine braking and by applying
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the
instrument panel).
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (e.g. moving a vehicle
that is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow , on
loose soil), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.
The ASR system is deactivated/ reactivated in the ADAS touch screen
application. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
