Rear bench seat  
Rear head restraints  
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.  
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  
They have two positions:  
– A high position, for when the seat is in use:  
► Pull the head restraint fully up.  
– A low position, for stowing, when the seat is  
not in use:  
► Press the lug A to release the head  
restraint and push it down.  
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.  
The rear head restraints can be removed.  
Removing a head restraint  
Each section of the backrest has one or two  
release controls:  
– A grip 1 on the outer edge of the backrest.  
– A lever 2 on the boot side trim (SW).  
► Release the backrest using control 1.  
► Tilt the backrest slightly forwards.  
► Pull the head restraint fully up.  
► Press the lug A to release the head restraint  
and remove it completely.

First steps:  
► Lower the head restraints, or remove them  
when carrying heavy loads.  
► Lift up the rear armrest.  
► 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 outer seat belts are lying flat  
on the backrests.  
► Pull the backrest release lever 2 towards you.  
The backrest 3 folds fully onto the cushion.  
► Press backrest release handle 1.  
On the left-hand side, the lever is also  
used for folding down the central section  
of the backrest.  
The folding of the backrest is  
accompanied by a slight lowering of the  
corresponding cushion.  
To obtain a flat surface, it is necessary to  
place the adjustable boot floor in the high  
position.  
When the backrest is released, the red  
indicator in the release grip is visible.  
Central backrest (SW)  
The central section of the backrest may be  
folded down independently of the side sections.  
► Guide the backrest 3 down to the horizontal  
position.  
► Check in advance that the rear armrest is not  
folded down and that the central head restraint  
is not raised.

Heating and Ventilation  
Air intake  
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.  
Repositioning the backrests  
Advice  
First check that the outer seat belts are  
lying vertically flat alongside the backrest  
latching rings.  
Using the ventilation and air  
conditioning system  
Controls  
Depending on version, certain controls  
are accessible in the Climate touch  
screen application and/via the control panel on  
the centre console.  
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.  
Air distribution  
► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located  
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to  
regulate the automatic air conditioning  
system.  
► 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 3 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.  
Please note: an incorrectly latched  
backrest compromises the safety of  
passengers in the event of sudden braking or  
an accident.  
The contents of the boot may be thrown  
forwards - risk of serious injury!
