USB socket 
 
 
 
The socket can be used to connect a portable 
device or a USB memory stick.
The socket reads audio files that are sent to your 
audio system to be played through the vehicle's 
speakers.
These files can be managed using the steering-
mounted controls or those on the audio system.
The USB socket also allows a  smartphone to be connected by 
Android Auto
® or CarPlay®, enabling certain 
smartphone applications to be used on the touch 
screen.
For best results, use a cable made or approved 
by the device manufacturer.
These applications can be managed using the 
steering-mounted controls or the audio system 
controls.
When the USB socket is used, the 
portable device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed if the 
power drawn by the portable device exceeds 
the current supplied by the vehicle.
For more information about how to use this 
equipment, refer to the sections describing 
the audio and telematics systems.
220 V socket 
 
Depending on version, a 220 V/50 Hz socket 
(maximum power: 120   W) is located underneath 
the front right-hand seat and therefore 
accessible from row 2.
This socket works with the engine running, as 
well as in STOP mode of
  Stop & Start. 
 
 
► Lift the cover.
►  Check that the indicator lamp is on green.
►
 
Connect your multimedia or other electrical 
device (telephone charger
, laptop computer, 
CD-DVD player, bottle warmer, etc.).
In the event of a malfunction, the 
green   indicator   lamp flashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Connect only one device to the socket at 
a time (do not use an extension lead or 
multi-socket) and only connect devices with 
Class
  II insulation (indicated on the device).
Do not use devices with metallic cases.
If the power consumption becomes too 
high and when required by the vehicle's 
electrical system (particular weather 
conditions, electrical overload, etc.), the 
power supply to the socket will be cut off; the 
green indicator lamp goes off

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.
Seating area fittings 
 
High load retaining net
This allows the use of the entire loading capacity, 
up to the roof:
–
 
behind the front seats in row 1, when the rear 
seats (and bench seats) in rows 2 and 3 are 
folded or removed,
–
 
behind the rear seats (and bench seats) in row 
2, when the rear seats (and bench seats) in row 
3 are folded or removed.
Upper fixings 
 
► Unclip the anchorage cover in the roof on 
each side.

Ease of use and comfort
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.
 
 
Contains R134A fluorinated 
greenhouse gases
Depending on version and country of sale, the 
air conditioning system may contain R134A 
fluorinated greenhouse gases. Gas capacity 
0.5
 
kg (+/- 0.025   kg), GWP index 1430 (CO
2 equivalent: 0.715 t).
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems 
only work when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start 
system to maintain a comfortable temperature 
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on  Stop & Start, refer 
to the corresponding section.
