Ventilation

VENTILATION

1. Windscreen de-icing or

demisting vents.

2. Front window de-icing or

demisting vents.

3. Side vents.

4. Centre vents.

5. Air outlets to front footwells.

Advice on operation

Select the air distribution most suited

to your requirements and the climatic

conditions.

Gradually adjust the temperature

setting for your comfort.

Position the air control in the

"Outside Air" position.

For perfectly even air distribution,

take care not to obstruct the exterior

air intake grille and the vents. Check

that the passenger compartment ﬁl-

ter is in good condition.

When the engine is cold, to prevent

too great a distribution of cold air, the

ventilation will only reach its optimum

level progressively.

To be effective, the air conditioning

(

A/C button), should only be used

with the windows closed.

If, when the vehicle has been parked

in the sun for a prolonged period, the

interior temperature remains very

high, do not hesitate to ventilate the

passenger compartment for a few

minutes.

De-icing the rear door screen

and/or mirrors

With the engine running, pressing

the control de-ices the rear screen

and/or mirrors.

It switches off automatically after

approximately twelve minutes.

Pressing the control again switches

the de-icing system on again for twelve

minutes.

It is possible to switch off the de-icing

by pressing the control before the

twelve minutes have elapsed.

HEATING

AIR CONDITIONING

1. Temperature adjustment

Slide the control

1 from

blue (cold) to red (hot) to

adjust the temperature

to your requirements.

2. Air ﬂow adjustment

Slide the control

2 from the

minimum (left)

position to

the maximum (right)

posi-

tion to obtain an air ﬂow

sufﬁcient to ensure your

comfort.

3. Air intake

"Recirculated inside air"

position.

Recirculation of the inside air

permits isolation of the pas-

senger compartment from

external odours and smoke.

Used simultaneously with the air con-

ditioning, the recirculation permits

improvement of the air conditioning

performance at cold settings.

When used in a humid climate, the

recirculation presents risks of misting

of the windows.

Ventilation

Slide the control

4 to direct the air

ﬂow towards:

the centre and side vents,

"Exterior air intake" position.

As soon as possible, place the

control

3 in this position to avoid the

risks of misting of the windows and

deterioration of the air quality.

4. Air distribution adjustment

the footwells,

the windscreen, the side

windows and the footwells,

the windscreen and the

side windows (demisting -

de-icing).

To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-

screen and side windows:

- set the temperature

1 and air ﬂow 2

controls to maximum,

- close the centre vents,

- place the exterior air intake control

3 in the "Exterior air intake" posi-

tion,

- switch on the air conditioning by

pressing button

5. Air conditioning control

The air conditioning is designed to op-

erate in all seasons. In summer, it en-

ables the temperature to be lowered

and in winter, above 0 °C, it increases

the effectiveness of the demisting.

Press the switch

5, the indi-

cator light comes on.

The air conditioning does not op-

erate while the air ﬂow adjustment

control 2 is in the minimum posi-

tion.

Note: when stationary, it is quite

normal to notice an accumulation

of water under the vehicle as the air

conditioning system discharges its

condensation drop by drop.

Important precaution

Operate the air conditioning system

for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a

month, to keep it in perfect working

order.

If the system does not produce

cold air, do not use it and contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Note: to optimise the operation of

the air conditioning, leave the vents

open.

Additional heating

Vehicles ﬁtted with an HDI engine

may be ﬁtted with automatic addition-

al heating to improve your comfort.

When the engine is idling or the

vehicle is stationary, it is quite normal

to notice a high-pitched whistling

noise and a slight emission of smoke

and odours.

SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts

The front seats, driver’s seat, one-

seat passenger seat and side seat of

the passenger bench seat, are ﬁtted

with pre-tensioners and force limit-

ers.

Height adjustment:


Front seat belts with pre-

tensioner and force limiter

Safety in the event of frontal impacts

has been improved by the introduc-

tion of pre-tensioning seat belts with

force limiter for the front seats.

Depending on the seriousness of the

impact, the pre-tensioning system

instantly tightens the seat belts and

pulls them against the bodies of the

occupants.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are

armed when the ignition is on.

The force limiter reduces the pres-

sure of the seat belt on the body

of the occupant in the event of an

accident.

The front centre seat of the two-seat

passenger bench seat is ﬁtted with

an integral three-point inertia reel

seat belt.

Locking:


pull the strap, then insert the end

into the buckle,



check that it is fastened correctly

by pulling on the strap.

2nd row rear side seat belts

The rear side seats of the three seat

bench seat are each ﬁtted with a

three-point inertia reel seat belt.

2nd row rear centre seat belt

The rear centre seat of the three seat

bench seat has an integral three-

point inertia reel seat belt.

The passenger must use the raised

buckle, located between the driver’s

seat and the centre seat, to attach

his seat belt.

44 - Seats and bench seats

Wherever you are seated

in the vehicle, always fas-

ten your seat belt, even for

short journeys.

Do not invert the seat belt

buckles as they will not fulﬁl their role

fully.

If the seats have armrests*, the lap

part of the seat belt must always

pass under the armrest.

The seat belts are ﬁtted with an in-

ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-

ment of the length of the strap to your

size. The seat belt is stored automat-

ically when not in use.

Before and after use, ensure that the

seat belt is rolled up correctly.

The lower part of the strap must be

positioned as low as possible on the

pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in

the hollow of the shoulder.

The inertia reels are ﬁtted with an

automatic locking device which

comes into operation in the event

of a collision or emergency braking.

You can release the device by pulling

rapidly on the strap and releasing it.

* According to model.

Recommendations for children:

- use a suitable child seat if the pas-

senger is less than 12 years old or

shorter than one metre ﬁfty,

- do not use the strap-guide* when a

child seat is installed.

- never use the same seat belt to se-

cure more than one person,

- never allow a child to travel on your

lap.

Depending on the nature and se-

riousness of the impacts, the pre-

tensioning device may be triggered

before and independently of the air

bags.

In all cases, the air bag warning light

comes on.

Following an impact, have the seat

belts system checked, and if necessary

replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

In order to be effective, a seat belt:

- must be tightened as close to the

body as possible,

- must restrain one adult only,

- must not bear any trace of cuts or

fraying,

- must be pulled in front of you with a

smooth movement, checking that it

does not twist,

- must not be transformed or modi-

ﬁed to avoid altering its perform-

ance.

In accordance with current safety

regulations, all repairs and checks

must be carried out by a PEUGEOT

dealer who guarantees that the work

is carried out correctly.

Have your seat belts checked regu-

larly, or if the straps show signs of

damage, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy

water or a textile cleaning product,

sold by PEUGEOT dealers.

After folding or moving a seat or rear

bench seat, ensure that the seat belt

is positioned and rolled up correctly.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING

TO CHILD SEATS

Although one of PEUGEOT’s main

criteria when designing your vehicle,

the safety of your children also de-

pends on you.

For maximum safety, please follow

these precautions:

- since 1992, and in accordance with

Directive 2000/3,

all children un-

der the age of 12 must travel in

approved child seats* suited to

their weight, on seats ﬁtted with a

seat belt or ISOFIX mountings**.

statistically, the safest seats in

your vehicle for the transpor-

tation of children are the rear

seats,

a child weighing less than 9 kg

must travel in the "rearwards-

facing" position both in the front

and in the rear.

PEUGEOT recommends that chil-

dren should travel in the

rear seats

of your vehicle:

"rearwards-facing" up to the age

of 2,

"forwards-facing" over the age of 2.

INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT

USING A THREE POINT SEAT

BELT

"Forwards-facing"

When a "forwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the

front passenger

seat, adjust the vehicle’s seat to the

intermediate longitudinal position

with the seat back upright and leave

the passenger air bag armed**.

* According to current legislation in

the country.

** According to model.

"Rearwards-facing"

When a "rearwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the

front passenger

seat, it is essential that the passen-

ger air bag** is disarmed. Otherwise,

the child would risk being seri-

ously injured or killed if the air bag

were to inﬂate.

Intermediate longitudinal

CHILD SEATS RECOMMENDED BY PEUGEOT

PEUGEOT offers a complete range of recommended child seats which are

secured using a

three point seat belt:

Group 0: from birth to 10 kg

Group 0+: from birth to 13 kg

"BRITAX

Babysure"

(E11 0344117)

Installed in

the rear-facing

position.

"ROMER

Baby-Safe"

(E1 03301146)

Installed in

the rear-facing

position.

Groups 1, 2 and 3: from 9 to 36 kg

"KIDDY Life"

(E1 03301135)

For the safety of young children

(from 9 to 18 kg), PEUGEOT

recommends use of the

restraining cushion.

Groups 2 and 3: from 15 to 36 kg

"RECARO Start’’

(E1 03301108).

The child seats function

is shared by the entire

PEUGEOT range. How-

ever, each individual model

has its own special fea-

tures. On the Expert, the passenger

air bag disarming switch is not avail-

able and therefore a "rearwards-

facing" child seat

MUST NOT be

ﬁtted on the front passenger seat.

48 - Seats and bench seats

ADVICE ON CHILD

SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child

seat in a vehicle compromises the

child’s protection in the event of an

accident.

Remember to fasten the seat belts

or the child seat harnesses

keeping

the slack in relation to the child’s

body

to a minimum, even for short

journeys.

For optimum installation of the "for-

ward facing" child seat, ensure that

the back of the child seat is in contact

with the back of the vehicle’s seat

and that the head restraint does not

cause any discomfort.

If the head restraint has to be

removed, ensure that it is stored or

attached securely to prevent it from

being thrown around the vehicle in

the event of sharp braking.

Children under the age of 10 must not

travel in the "forward facing" position

on the front passenger seat, unless

the rear seats are already occupied

by other children, cannot be used or

are absent.

Disarm the passenger air bag* when

a "rear facing" child seat is installed

on the front seat. Otherwise, the child

would risk being seriously injured or

killed if the air bag were to inﬂate.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

- one or more children alone and

unsupervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle

which is exposed to the sun, with

the windows closed,

- the keys within reach of children

inside the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the

doors, use the "Child lock"*.

Take care not to open the rear

windows by more than one third*.

To protect young children from the

rays of the sun, ﬁt side blinds on the

rear windows.

* According to version.

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must

be positioned on the child’s shoulder

without touching the neck.

Ensure that the lap part of the seat

belt passes correctly over the child’s

thighs.

PEUGEOT recommends the use of

a booster seat which has a back, ﬁt-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder

level.
