times in succession directs
the air flow towards:
-

the windscreen,

system's functions, with the exception
of the air recirculation and rear screen
demisting (if fitted on your vehicle).
Your comfort setting is no longer
maintained and is switched off. Intake of exterior air /
Recirculation of interior air
Press this button to
recirculate the interior air.
The recirculation symbol is
displayed.
For your comfort, do not
deactivate the system for
long periods. Pressing the
large fan button or the AUTO
button reactivates the system
with the values set before it was
deactivated. Recirculation prevents exterior
odours and smoke from entering
the passenger compartment. Avoid
prolonged operation in interior
air recirculation mode (risk of
condensation, odour and humidity).
Pressing this button again activates the
intake of exterior air.
Pressing this button again switches off
the air conditioning.
The ventilation outlet, located
in the glove box, diffuses cool
air (if the air conditioning is
on) regardless of the reference
temperature requested in the
passenger compartment and
regardless of the exterior temperature.

DEMISTING AND DEFROSTINGGOOD PRACTICE
Vents
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment, there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the flow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete the
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.
Dust filter, odour filter
(activated carbon)
This filter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this filter is in good
condition and have all of the filter
elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of chapter 7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior
temperature remains high after a
prolonged period parked in the sun, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised
control of all of the functions: air flow,
passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air
intake mode or air recirculation in the
passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in good working order.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be sufficient to quickly demist or
defrost the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
flow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation. It is normal that the condensation
created by the air conditioning system
results in a flow of water which may
form a puddle under the vehicle when
parked.

CREW CAB
Bench seat
The crew cab consists of a 3-seat
bench, located in row 2, the one-piece
back of which is in unit with the "load
retainer" grille.
Access to the rear seats is via the
sliding side door.
Head restraints and seat belts
The three seats are equipped with
inertia reel seat belts. The seat belts
of the outer seats are secured to the
body, whereas the seat belt of the
centre seat is secured to the back of
the bench seat.
Each seat has a head restraint bolted
onto the load retaining grille and which
can be removed.
Do not store a head restraint inside the
vehicle unless it is properly stowed or
fixed to a support.
Do not drive with rear passengers
without first bolting the head restraints
in place.
Placing the bench seat in the
fully folded position
- If necessary, move the front seats
forward and fasten the strap of the
seat belt of the centre seat.
-

Check that the seat belt straps and
buckles are positioned correctly
along the side panels, to ensure
that the sliding of the seat back is
not hindered.

AIRBAGS
General information
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of a serious collision;
they work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts.In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
-

in the event of a serious impact,
the airbags inflate instantly and
contribute towards better protecting
the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the
airbags deflate rapidly

, so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from the vehicle. -

in the event of a minor or rear
impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient to contribute towards your
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of impact.

Partner-2-VU_en_Chap05_Securite_ed02-2014
Lateral airbags
This is a system which protects the
driver and front passenger in the event
of a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front
seat backrest frame, on the door side.
Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to
all or part of the side impact zone B,
perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel. Impact detection zones
A.

Front impact zone.
B.


Side impact zone.
In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle or
if the vehicle rolls over

, the airbag
may not be deployed. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event of a
serious impact.

Partner-2-VU_en_Chap05_Securite_ed02-2014
Front airbags
The front airbags are fitted in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger(s).
Deployment
They are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious
front impact applied to all or part of the
front impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane directed from the front towards
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:
-

with the ignition switched off
,
insert the key into the passenger's
front airbag deactivation switch,
-

turn it to the
"OFF" position,
-

then remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
The passenger's front airbag
warning lamp in the instrument
panel remains on while the
airbag is deactivated.If the two airbag warning lamps
are on continuously, do not install
a rearward facing child seat and
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's front airbag when you
install a rearward facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or
seriously injured if the airbag were
deployed. Reactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger's
front airbag will not be deployed in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the passenger's front airbag switch
to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and thus ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an
impact.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, consult a
PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
