The driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat
belts correctly and that they
are all restrained securely
before setting off.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
Recommendations for children
-
-
-
-
must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,
must restrain one person of adult
size only,
must not bear any trace of cuts
or fraying,
must be pulled in front of you with
a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,
Use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty.
Never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stored automatically
when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is rolled up correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in
the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an au-
tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, emergency braking or if the ve-
hicle rolls over. You can release the
device by pulling rapidly on the strap
and releasing it.

must not be transformed or
modified to avoid altering its
performance.
Depending on the nature and seꢀ
riousness of the impacts, the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a PEUGEOT dealer and par-
ticularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and rolled up correctly.
