Rear bench seat

Bench seat with fixed cushions and split folding
backrests (2/3-1/3) to adapt the boot load space.
Folding the backrests

Each section of the backrest has two release
controls:
–

A
grip 1 on the outer edge of the backrest.

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.
► Check that the centre seat belt buckle is
stored in its housing.
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.

Folding from the boot

When loading, for example, or from the third row
seats:
►
Pull strap
C to unlock the desired seat and
give the backrest a slight push forwards.
Repositioning the seat

► Place the continuity panels of the 2nd row
seats back up against the backrests.
► Straighten the backrest until it locks.
Before performing any operations on the
rear seats, to avoid damage to the seat
belts, check that the outer seat belts are
properly tensioned. The central seat belt must
be stored in the headlining.
Continuity panels

Each seat has a continuity panel at the bottom of
the backrest, which, once unfolded:
–

allows for a continuous loading surface in the
boot, whatever the position of the seats,
–


prevents objects from sliding beneath the 2nd
row seats.
The continuity panels are held against the
backrests with a magnetic fixing element.
These continuity panels are not designed to support a weight greater than 30
kg.
Before unfolding the continuity panels,
check that the 2nd row seats are pulled as
far back as possible.
Accessing third row seats
The third row seats are accessed via the second
row side seats.


From the outside or from the third row seats:
► Check that the "aircraft" type tables of the
front seats are properly folded up.
►

Pull paddle D

and guide the backrest
forwards to tilt it and move the seat forwards.
To put the seat back in place:
►

Straighten the backrest until the seat locks.
Whatever the initial position of the seat, it is
placed automatically a third of the way along
the longitudinal adjustment range in order to
preserve enough space for passengers in the
third row seats. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

3If this system fails (paddle D), the third
row passengers can also get out after
having folded the backrest of the second row
seats using strap C.
Do not let children operate the seats
unsupervised.
Third row seats

The two third row seats are stored in a retracted
position in the bottom of the boot. Each one is
covered with rigid concertina panels, secured to
the vehicle.
Do not let children operate the seats
unsupervised.
Each concertina panel can support a
maximum load of 100
kg with the third
row seats folded away.
With the third row seats removed and the
removable concertina panels supports
installed, the maximum load is limited to
50

kg.


When there is a seat at the back of the boot, the
removable support is fixed against the front wall
of its housing.
If the seat is removed from the back of the boot
for extra storage space, the removable support
must be installed on the two lugs on the central
wall.
Folding the concertina
panels


► Pull one of the straps; the 3 sections of the
corresponding panel fold into concertina form.
When the 3
rd row seats are straightened, these
folded concertina panels can be left upright or
flat behind the seats (freeing up the seat well as
a storage space).
Positioning the seats
These operations are carried out from the boot
sill.


► Remove the load space cover roller .
► Straighten the continuity panels of the 2nd row
seats.
►

backrest.
The seat is unlocked.
►

Push the backrest slightly forwards.
The backrest tilts and folds onto the cushion; the
folded seat is stored at the back of its storage
area.
► Reposition the concertina panels above the
retracted seats.
Before doing anything to the 3rd row
seats, straighten the continuity panels of
the 2
nd row seats.
Do not try to fold back a seat in the 3rd row
without having opened it until the backrest is
fully locked.
Do not leave anything on or underneath the
cushions of the 3
rd row seats when they are
being folded.
Do not guide strap F when storing the seat -
your fingers may get trapped!
Removing the seats
Removing the right-hand seat first is
recommended in order to facilitate access to the

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. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Ease of use and comfort
3Servicing 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.
►

T

o 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.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Intensive use of the air conditioning
reduces the vehicle range in Electric mode.
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
the passenger compartment.
This system works with the engine running, but
access to the ventilation and its controls remains
possible with the ignition on.
Press the Climate menu button to display
the system controls page.

Adjusting the temperature
The driver and front passenger can each choose
their own temperature setting.
The value indicated corresponds to a level of
comfort and not to a precise temperature.
►

Press one of the buttons
1 to increase (red)
or decrease (blue) the value.
It is recommended that you avoid a difference of
more than 3°C in the settings for left and right.
Automatic Comfort programme
This automatic mode ensures optimum
management of the passenger compartment
temperature, air flow and air distribution, based
on the selected comfort level.
►

Press button
9 to activate or deactivate the
air conditioning system’s automatic mode .
The indicator lamp in the button lights up
when the air conditioning system is operating
automatically.
You can adjust the intensity of the
automatic Comfort programme by using the
"OPTIONS "
button to select one of the available
settings:
–
"Soft": provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
– "Normal": offers the best compromise
between a comfortable temperature and quiet
operation (default setting).
–
"Fast": provides strong and effective air flow.
To change the current setting (shown by the
corresponding indicator lamp), press button

11
repeatedly until the desired setting is displayed.
T

o ensure passenger comfort in the rear seats,
favour "Normal" and "Fast" settings.
This setting is associated with automatic mode
only. However, on deactivation of
AUTO mode,
the indicator lamp for the most recently selected
setting remains on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if it was deactivated.
In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order to
limit the delivery of cold air into the passenger
compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer than
the comfort setting requested, there is no
need to alter the value displayed to more
quickly reach the required level of comfort.
The system automatically corrects the
temperature difference as quickly as possible.
Automatic Visibility programme
For more information on button 8, refer to the
“Front Demisting/Defrosting ” section.
"Air Quality System" (AQS)
function
Using a pollution sensor, this function
automatically activates recirculation of the
interior air once a certain level of polluting
substances in the exterior air is detected.
When the air quality returns to a satisfactory
level, recirculation of interior air is automatically
deactivated.
This function is not designed to detect
unpleasant odours.
Recirculation is automatically activated when the
windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear
is engaged.
The function does not operate if the exterior
temperature is below 5
°C, to avoid the risk of
misting of the windscreen and side windows.
To activate or deactivate the function, go to the
secondary page by using the " OPTIONS" button,
then press button 12.
Manual control
It is possible to manually adjust one or more
of these functions, while the system retains
automatic control of the other functions:
