Peugeot 2008: Ease of use and comfort / Rear bench seat
Bench seat with fixed cushions and split folding backrests (2/3-1/3) to adapt
the boot load space.
Rear head restraints

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.
The rear head restraints can be removed.
Removing a head restraint
- 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.
Refitting a head restraint
- Insert the head restraint rods into the guides in the corresponding
backrest.
- Push the head restraint fully down.
- Press the lug A to release the head restraint and push it down.
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.
Folding the backrests
Manoeuvring the backrests
should only be done when the vehicle is stationary.
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 (clothing, luggage, etc.).
- Check that the seat belts are free, not engaged in the buckles. Release
them so that the backrest can be moved.

- Press the backrest release grip 1.
- Guide the backrest 2 down to the horizontal position.
When the backrest is
released, the red indicator in the release grip is visible.
Repositioning the backrests
First check that the outer
seat belts are lying vertically flat alongside the backrest latching rings.

- 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.
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!
Door mirrors
As a safety measure, the
mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects that you see in the mirrors are in fact closer than they
appear...
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...

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour
of the vehicle when braking.
The
snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted
to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take
account of the legislation specific to each country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
