Driving position
Correct seating position
Adopting a good driving position helps improve
your comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility as
well as access to controls.
Whether or not the vehicle has certain seat
adjustments described in this section depends
on the trim level and country of sale.
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 room (from the roof) should be at least
10 cm.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
that you can fully depress the pedals with legs
slightly flexed.
The distance between your 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 your head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to
the shape of your spine.
Adjust the steering wheel so that it is at least 25
cm from your sternum and you can hold it with
your arms slightly bent.
The steering wheel should not hide the
instrument panel.
As a safety precaution, adjust the seats only when the vehicle is stationary.
If your vehicle has electric seats, the
ignition must be on to adjust them.
Passenger’s side

Sit fully back in the seat with your 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 your head.
Before moving off
Adjust the interior and exterior door mirrors to
reduce blind spots.
Fasten your seat belt: place the diagonal belt in
the middle of your shoulder and adjust the lap
belt so that it is tightened across your pelvis.
Ensure that all passengers have fastened their
seat belts correctly.
If your vehicle has electric door mirrors,
the ignition must be on to adjust them.
When 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.

Lighting and visibility
Front screenwash

► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
The screenwash and windscreen wipers operate
for as long as the control stalk is pulled.
T
ermination of the screenwash is followed by a
final wiping cycle.
The front screenwash jets are integrated in the tips of each arm.
The screenwash fluid is sprayed along the
length of the wiper blade. This improves
visibility and reduces the consumption of
screenwash fluid.
In some cases, depending on the contents
or colour of the fluid and on the exterior
brightness, the liquid spray may be hardly
noticeable.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
Rear wiper

► Turn the ring to align the desired symbol with
the marking.
Off
Intermittent wipe
Wash-wipe
Reverse gear
When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper
will come into operation automatically if the front
windscreen wipers are operating.
This function is set via the vehicle configuration menu.
In the event of accumulation of snow or
hard frost or if a bicycle carrier is fitted to
a towing device, deactivate the automatic rear
wiper via the vehicle configuration menu.
Rear screenwash
► Turn the ring all the way towards the
dashboard and hold.
The screenwash and the wiper operate for as
long as the ring remains turned.
A final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used while cleaning
or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be
useful, in winter (ice, snow), to release the wiper
blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the flat wiper blades, it is advisable to:
–

handle them with care.
–


clean them regularly using soapy water
.
–

avoid using them to hold cardboard on the
windscreen.
–


replace them at the first signs of wear
.

Safety
Fastening
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the
buckle.
► Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling on the strap.
Unfastening
► Press the red button on the buckle.
► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Height adjustment

► To adjust the height of the anchorage point,

Rear seat belts


► The system becomes active at speeds
below 19 mph (30 km/h); this lamp comes
on in green in the instrument panel.
►

When the vehicle begins its descent, you can
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the
system regulates the speed:
– if the gearbox is in first or second gear ,
the speed decreases and the
indicator
lamp flashes rapidly,
–

if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal
is depressed, the speed decreases and the
indicator

lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the
maintained descent speed is lower.
On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you
release the accelerator and brake pedals, the
system will release the brakes to set the vehicle
gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when the
system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30
km/h),
regulation is paused automatically, the
indicator
lamp goes back to grey in the
instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in
the button remains on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the
speed falls below 19 mph (30
km/h) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal
again at any time.
Off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes
off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel
also goes off.
At speeds above 43 mph (70
km/h), the system
is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in
the button goes off.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the system, this
warning lamp comes on in green,
accompanied by the display of a message in the
instrument panel.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel
which allows the strap length to automatically
adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its
storage automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a
frontal or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiter
This system reduces the pressure of the seat
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving
their protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic
pretensioner device may trigger before
and independently of airbag deployment.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning system and force limiter.

conditions for operation are met again and in the
following cases.
–

V
ehicle speed exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h) on
2.0 BlueHDi versions with automatic gearbox in
mode D, or 2 mph (3 km/h) on other versions.
–

The electric parking brake is being applied.

Malfunctions
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments, then
remains on, accompanied by an onscreen
message.
Have the vehicle checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
►

Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the key or the " ST

ART/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–

worsens road-holding.
–


lengthens braking distances.
–


causes premature wear of the tyres.
–


increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10
km) at
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
