Get Ease of use and comfort Guide for Peugeot 408 4 Door Second Generation (2022-2026)

Ease of use and comfort

Passenger's side

The head should be at a minimum distance of 10

cm from the roof.

Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so

that you can fully depress the pedals with legs

slightly flexed.

Driving position

Correct driving position

Adopting a good driving position contributes to

improving driver comfort and protection.

It also optimises interior and exterior visibility as

well as access to controls.

Certain seat adjustments described in this

section depend on the trim level and the country

in which the vehicle is sold.

The distance between the knees and the

dashboard should be at least 10 cm, for easy

access to the dashboard controls.

Adjust the backrest angle to as vertical a position

as possible; never tilt it more than 25°.

Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge

is level with the top of the head.

Before taking to the road and to make the

most of the ergonomic layout of the instruments

and controls, carry out these adjustments in the

following order:

Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support

your thighs.

Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to

the shape of the spine.

Adjust the steering wheel reach so that it is at

least 25 cm from the sternum and you can hold it

with your arms slightly bent.

Adjust the steering wheel height so that it does

not obstruct the information displayed on the

instrument panel.

Sit fully back in the seat with the pelvis, back and

shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.

Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so

that you are at a distance of at least 25 cm from

the dashboard.

► head restraint height.

► seat backrest angle.

► seat cushion height.

► longitudinal seat position.

► steering wheel height and reach.

► rear view mirror and door mirrors.

Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge

is level with the top of the head.

Before moving off

Adjust the interior and exterior door mirrors to

reduce blind spots.

Fasten the seat belt: place the diagonal belt in

the middle of the shoulder and adjust the lap belt

so that it is tightened across the pelvis.

Ensure that all passengers have fastened their

seat belts correctly.

For safety reasons, adjustments must only

be made when the vehicle is stationary.

Driver’s side

Electrically-adjustable seats

Switch the ignition on to enable the

adjustments to be made.

Electric door mirrors

Switch the ignition on to enable the

adjustments to be made.

Once these adjustments have been made,

check that the instrument panel can be

viewed correctly from your driving position.

When driving

Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back

and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.

Adjust the seat cushion height so that your eyes

are level with the centre of the windscreen.

Maintain a good driving position and hold the

steering wheel with both hands at the 'quarter to

three' position, so that you can easily and quickly

reach the controls behind and near the steering

wheel.

► Pull the head restraint fully up.

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

Advice

Using the ventilation and air

conditioning system

Heating and Ventilation

Condensation created by the air

conditioning results in a discharge of water

underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly

normal.

► 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 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.

Servicing the ventilation and air

conditioning system

Controls

► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located

3 on the dashboard; this sensor is used

to regulate the automatic air conditioning

system.

Depending on version, certain

► Ensure that the passenger compartment

filter is in good condition and have the

filter elements replaced regularly.

controls are accessible in the Climate

touch screen application and/via the

control panel on the centre console.

► Operate the air conditioning system for

at least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a

month to keep it in good working order.

We recommend using a composite passenger

compartment filter. Its specific active additive

helps protect against polluting gases and bad

smells.

Air distribution

► If the system does not produce cold air,

switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

► To ensure correct operation of the air

conditioning system, have it checked

according to the recommendations in the

Manufacturer’s service schedule.

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.

Stop & Start / e-Auto mode

The heating and air conditioning systems

only operate when the engine is running.

Temporarily deactivate the corresponding

system to maintain a comfortable temperature

in the passenger compartment.

Avoid driving for too long with the

ventilation off or with prolonged operation

of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and

deterioration of the air quality!

Interior air recirculation

Air conditioning does not operate when the

air flow is deactivated.

To obtain cool air more quickly, enable interior

air recirculation for a brief period. Then return

to the intake of exterior air.

The intake of exterior air prevents the formation

of mist on the windscreen and side windows.

Recirculating the interior air isolates the

passenger compartment from outside odours

and fumes and allows the desired passenger

compartment temperature to be achieved more

rapidly.

In wintry conditions, before moving off, it is

essential to remove any snow or ice from

the windscreen around the camera.

Otherwise, the operation of the equipment

using the camera may be affected.

the days and at the times of your choice.

This function is available when the vehicle is
