Ease of use and comfort -> Rear bench seat for your Peugeot 2008 2019-2025
Ease of use and comfort
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:
– 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.
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.
The rear head restraints can be removed.

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.
