front air conditioning unit, is distributed at
the feet of the rear passengers of rows 2
and 3.
A warm air diffusion vent, located on the rear
left wheelarch, may complete the assembly
for the feet of the rear passengers of row 3.
Additional heating
This is an additional passenger compartment
heating system which supplements the
standard equipment.
It can operate independently of the engine.
Depending on the level of finish of the
equipment, its start-up can be programmed.
Additional heater or programmable
heating
This is an additional and autonomous
system which heats the diesel engine hot
coolant loop to make starting easier.
It improves the de-icing and demisting
performance and that of the heated seats, if
fitted in the vehicle.

brought up to temperature more rapidly.
This system must be programmed to start up
before you enter the vehicle.
On the 5-9 seats version, it is
located at the rear. Depending
on the model version, the air
diffusion is either direct from the
rear or comes from the rail located under
each of the two rows of seats.

Practical information

SEAT BELTS
CAB SEAT BELTS
The front seats are fitted with pre-tensioners
and force limiters.
REAR SEAT BELTS
The seats/bench seats are fitted with
three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
The centre seat has a seat belt guide and
inertia reel, solid with the seat back.
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and slide
the assembly on the driver ’s seat side and
on the side passenger seat side.
The height of the seat belt associated with
the centre seat cannot be adjusted. Fastening
Pull the strap in front of you, with an even
movement, ensuring that it does not twist.
Secure the buckle in its housing.
Check that the seat belt is fastened securely
and that the automatic locking system is
operating correctly by pulling the strap
rapidly.
Unfastening
Press the red button on the buckle housing.
As a safety precaution, these
operations should not be carried out
while the vehicle is moving. Driver ’s seat belt not
fastened warning light
When the vehicle is started, this

Seat belts
104

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening. CORRECT USE OF THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size. The seat belt is rolled up
automatically when not in use.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
rolled up correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the air bags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Triggering 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.The air bag warning light comes
on if the pretensioners are
triggered. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- restrain one person only,
- must not be twisted, check by pulling in front of you with an even movement,
- be tightened as close to the body as possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the seats are fitted with armrests, the lap
part of the seat belt should always pass
under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap, even with the seat belt fastened.
For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 5.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your dealer guarantees all work
or any checks, from testing to maintenance,
on your seat belt equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly (even
after a minor impact) by a dealer: they
must not show any signs of wear, cutting or
fraying and they must not be transformed or
modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by PEUGEOT dealers. 105

If your vehicle is fitted with side air bags,
these are incorporated into the front seat
backs on the door side.
The curtain air bags are incorporated into
the door pillars and the upper part of the
passenger compartment, in the roof over the
front cab seats.
They inflate between the occupant and the
glass.
They are deployed independently of each
other depending on which side the collision
occurs.
The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel comes on
throughout the period of disarming.
To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to disarm the passenger air bag
when you install a rear-facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the air bag were to inflate.
If your vehicle is not fitted with this
equipment: do not install a rear-facing child
seat. Disarming check
This is confirmed by lighting of
this warning light each time the
engine is started.
If your vehicle is fitted
with this display, the
