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.

"Aircraft" type tables

Fitted to the back of each front seat.

â–º To use the table, lower it fully until it locks in
the low position.

T
o stow it, raise the table to the high position,
passing the point of resistance.
On the passenger side, do not forget to
fold the table up before placing the seat
in the "table" position.
Do not place hard or heavy objects on
the table. They could become dangerous
projectiles in the event of emergency braking
or impact.
For more information on the Front seats,
and in particular placing the backrest in
the "table" position, refer to the corresponding
section.
12 V socket(s)
Depending on version.







â–º To connect a 12 V accessory (maximum
power: 120 Watts), lift the cover and plug in a
suitable adapter.
Observe the maximum power rating to
avoid damaging the accessory.
The connection of an electrical device not approved by PEUGEOT, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the

Loading area fittings
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.

You can move the table in both the open and stowed position. However, to ensure
safety, it is advised that you handle the
assembly in the stowed position.
For the table to run smoothly, ensure that
no objects are blocking the space used
by the runner on the floor.
Before manoeuvring the table, check that
there is nothing on the table.

Remove a seat to make this easier.
Refitting
â–º Check that there is no object obstructing the
runner and preventing proper locking.


â–º Check that the control is in the upper position
(locking mechanism armed). If not, lift this control
fully to arm the mechanism.

â–º

Check that the assembly is fully locked into
the runner

. If not, slide the assembly gently along
the runner until it meets the next notch.
Check that the table is fully locked into
the runner - risk of injury in the event of
an accident or sudden braking.
â–º

Release the control until the guide locks into
the runner

.
Be careful of passengers' feet when
manoeuvring the assembly.
Storage off the runner
If removing the table from the vehicle for
storage, ensure that it is placed in a
clean area, in order to avoid introducing any
foreign bodies into the mechanisms.
The table must be placed outside the vehicle,
on a flat and level surface, resting on the
guide so as not to damage visible parts.
Caution, when out of the vehicle, the
table leans to the right or left when
placed on a surface. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

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.
Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
â–º

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.
â–º

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
â–º


Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in good working order

.
â–º

If the system does not produce cold air
,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
