Never drive with passengers seated at  
the rear when the head restraints are  
removed; the head restraints should be in  
place and in the high position.  
Rear head restraints  
The head restraint for the centre seat  
and those for the outer seats are not  
interchangeable.  
The electrochrome system uses a sensor that  
detects the level of exterior brightness and that  
coming from the rear of the vehicle, in order to  
automatically and gradually switch between day  
and night usage.  
Folding the backrests  
Manoeuvring the backrests should only  
be done when the vehicle is stationary.  
To ensure optimum visibility while  
manoeuvring, the mirror automatically  
brightens when reverse gear is engaged.  
The system is deactivated if the load in the  
boot exceeds the height of the load space  
cover or if the load space cover has items  
placed on it.  
They have two positions:

restraint and push it down.  
First steps:  
► Lower the head restraints.  
► If necessary, move the front seats forward.  
► Check that no person or object might interfere  
with the folding of the backrests (e.g. clothing,  
luggage).  
► Check that the seat belts are free, not  
engaged in the buckles. Release them so that  
the backrest can be moved.

Repositioning the backrests  
Advice  
First check that the outer seat belts are  
lying vertically flat alongside the backrest  
latching rings.  
The air circulating in the passenger compartment  
is filtered and originates either from the  
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the  
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation  
mode.  
Using the ventilation and air  
conditioning system  
To 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.  
► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located  
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to  
regulate the automatic air conditioning  
system.  
Controls  
Depending on version, the controls are  
accessible in the Climate touch screen menu  
or are grouped together on the centre console  
panel.  
Air distribution  
► Operate the air conditioning system for at  
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to  
keep it in good working order.  
► If the system does not produce cold air,  
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer  
or a qualified workshop.  
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.  
► Put the backrest 2 in the upright position and  
push it firmly to latch it home.  
► Check that the red indicator is no longer  
visible in the release grip 1.  
► Ensure that the outer seat belts were not  
trapped during the operation.

backrest compromises the safety of
