Ease of use and comfort
a continuous storage floor through to the back 
of the front seats.
By placing the front passenger seat in the 
table position, you obtain a continuous 
storage floor through to the dashboard.
Operations on the seats must only be 
done when the vehicle is stationary.
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, the controls are 
accessible in the Climate touch screen menu 
or are grouped together on the centre console 
panel.
Air distribution 
 
1. Windscreen demisting/de-icing vents
2. Front side window demisting/de-icing vents
3. Adjustable and closable side air vents
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents
5. Air outlets to the front footwells
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells
7. Adjustable and closable air vents, with blower 
(depending on version)
Advice
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.
►  To 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.
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

Automatic lighting  systems - General 
recommendations
The automatic lighting systems use a detection 
camera, located at the top of the windscreen.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted or not work 
correctly:
–
 
When visibility conditions are poor 
(e.g.
  snowfall, heavy rain).
– If the windscreen is dirty , misted-up or 
masked (e.g.   sticker) in front of the camera.
–
 
If the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs 
or safety barrier reflectors.
The system is not able to detect:
–
 
Road users that do not have their own 
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–
 
V
 ehicles with hidden lighting (e.g.   travelling 
behind a safety barrier on the motorway).
–
 
V
 ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep 
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Maintenance
Clean the windscreen regularly, 
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can 
also become misted around the camera.

Safety
5the 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.
Passengers 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.
Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are  specific to each country. Refer to the 
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the 
following recommendations:
–
 
In accordance with European regulations, 
all children under the age of 12 or less than 
1,5 metres 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 carrying children are the rear 
seats.
–
 
Children weighing less than 9 kg must 
travel in the "rearward facing" position, 
whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel 
on the rear seats  of the vehicle:
–
 
‘rearward facing’ up to the age of 3,
–
 
‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly 
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that 
the support leg is in firm and steady contact 
with the floor.
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat  compromises the child's safety in the 
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt 
buckle under the child seat, as this could 
destabilise it.
