fuel consumption Peugeot iOn 2018 Owner's Manual

25
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an adequate
temperature, you can switch off the
function; reducing the consumption
of electrical current reduces fuel
consumption.
Do not use the function when the seat is
e m pt y.
Prolonged use is not recommended for
those with sensitive skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, etc.).
There is a risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.
Do not use the system:
-

i
f wearing damp clothing,
-

i
f child seats are fitted.
To avoid breaking the heating element in
the seat:
-

d
o not place heavy objects on the seat,
-

d
o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-

d
o not place sharp objects on the seat,
-

d
o not spill liquids onto the seat.
To avoid the risk of short-circuit:
-

d
o not use liquid products for cleaning
the seat,
-
n

ever use the heating function when
the seat is damp.Rear seats
Bench seat consisting of two adjustable and
foldable backrests and a fixed seat cushion.
Rear head restraints
Never drive with passengers seated at
the rear while the head restraints are
removed; they must be in place and in the
high position.
Adjusting the seat backrest
angle
Always check that the backrest is fixed
properly.
These have a high position (for comfort and
better safety) and a low position (to give the
driver better rear visibility).
They can also be removed.
To remove a head restraint:
F
p
ull the head restraint fully upwards,
F
t
hen press on the lug. To adjust the backrest:
F

p
ull the control for wards to release the
backrest.
F

a
djust the backrest, then release the
control.
There are seven possible adjustment notches
for adjusting the angle.

Ease of use and comfort

This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure every month as well
as before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3
bar to the values
indicated on the label.Under-inflation alert

n case of a puncture, use the temporary
puncture repair kit. The alert persists until the reference
pressure values are reinitialised once the
tyre or tyres concerned are reinflated,
repaired or replaced. In case of tyre repair
or replacement, the sensor identifiers
must be logged by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Resetting the reference
pressures
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
