Under seat cushion storage
wells


If the vehicle is so equipped, they are located
underneath the centre and outer left-hand seats.
To gain access to it from the cab, tip the required
seat forwards.


Depending on the country of sale, the wells can
be dismantled and removed through the rear so
that bulky objects can be stowed underneath the
bench seat.
Do not attach anything to the cab fixing
structure.
Do not exceed the number of passengers
indicated on the registration certificate.
In the rear, the loading area is intended for
carrying goods only.
You are advised to place the goods or heavy
objects as far forwards as possible in the
loading area (towards the cab) and secure
them by means of straps using the stowing
rings on the floor.
The rear seat belt frames are not designed to
secure the load being carried.
Folding crew cab

The crew cab has a folding bench seat, seat
belts and side windows. It is separated from
the loading area by the bench seat by a high-
strength grille.

Stowing rings






Use the stowing rings on the rear floor to secure
loads.
As a safety precaution in case of sharp braking,
we recommend placing heavy objects as far
forwards as possible (i.e. near the cab).
We recommend immobilising the load by firmly
securing it using the stowing rings present on
the floor.
Load retaining partition



On the floor, behind the front seats, a vertical
partition protects the driver and front passengers
against the risk of load movement.
Steel or glazed partitions separate the loading
area from the cab. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Recommendations on
loading
The weight of the load must comply with the Gross Train Weight (GTW).
For more information on Engine technical
data and towed loads , refer to the
corresponding section.
If you are using a carrying system (roof
bars/roof rack), comply with the
maximum loads associated with this system.
For more information on Roof bars/Roof
rack , refer to the corresponding section.
Make sure that the size, shape and
volume of the loads carried are
compatible with the highway code and safety
regulations and do not impair the driver’s field
of vision.
The load must be evenly distributed in the loading area so as not to interfere
with driving the vehicle.
Place the load close to the side wall panels,
or push it against the side wall panels
between the wheel arches.
However, it is recommended that heavy
objects are placed as close to the cab as
possible as a precaution in case of sharp
braking.
Firmly secure all parts of the load using
the stowing rings on the floor of the
loading area.
For more information on the Interior fittings
and in particular on the stowing rings, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the risk of injury or accident, the load must be made stable so that it
cannot slide, tip over, fall or be projected. To
do this, use only retaining straps that conform
to current standards (DIN, for example).
For more information on putting straps in
place, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
To prevent the load from sliding, there must
not be any empty spaces between the load
items and the vehicle wall panels.
As well as the straps, optimise the stability
of the load with stable handling equipment
(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
When washing your vehicle, never clean
the inside directly using a water jet.

Incorrect use of the table can cause
serious injury.
Never use the table in the open or deployed
position while the vehicle is in motion. In the
event of sudden braking, any object placed on
the table can become a projectile.
Ensure that the table is correctly stowed in
the low position before setting off.
Never use the table tops as seats or lean on
them.
A label attached to the side of the table
serves as a reminder of this.
Never place hot objects such as
saucepans or frying pans on the table
- risk of damaging the surface and starting a
fire!
When the table is deployed, each table
top can support a maximum of 10 kg. If
you exceed the maximum weight limit, you
risk damaging part or all of the table.
Never lift the table when it is between
individual seats; you risk damaging the table
tops.


Before moving the table or an individual
seat forwards or backwards, make sure
that the seat's backrest is upright and the
table is stowed.


When stowing the table tops, never place
your hand inside the slide area - risk of
trapping your fingers! Use the handle
provided.

Lighting and visibility
â–º Then put the lighting control stalk ring in the
"AUT O" or "Dipped/main beam position".
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
â–º A "headlamp flash" pauses the
function and the lighting system switches
to "automatic illumination of lamps" mode:
–

If the "AUT
O" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam.
–

If the "AUT
O" and "Main beam"
indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to
dipped beam.
â–º

T

o reactivate the function, once again switch
the headlamps manually between dipped and
main beam.
Flashing the headlamps does not
deactivate the system.
The state of the system is stored when the
ignition is switched off.
The system may be disrupted or not work correctly:
–

When visibility conditions are poor
(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).
–


If the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty

, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker).
–

If the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–

Road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–


V
ehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example, vehicles driving behind a safety
barrier on a motorway).
–

V
ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
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.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.

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 limiting system
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 the impacts, the pyrotechnic
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 a force limiting
system.
This system improves safety in the front seats in

Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must
always fasten the seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they
will not fulfil their role properly.
To ensure the proper functioning of the belt
buckles, make sure that there are no foreign
bodies present (e.g.
a coin) before fastening.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
At the front, adjusting the position of the
seat belt may require the seat height to be
adjusted.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
–

be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
–


be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–


must only be used to secure one person.
– not show signs of tearing or fraying.
– not be changed or modified, in order to
avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5
metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's
seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
PEUGEOT


dealer is able to provide.
Have the seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
