Pre-tensioning and force-
limiting front seat belts*
To be effective, a seat
belt must be tensioned
as close to the body as
possible.

Safety in the event of a front impact
has been improved by the
introduction of pre-tensioning and
force-limiting front seat belts.
Depending on the seriousness of
the impact, the pre-tensioning
system instantly tightens the seat
belts firmly against the body of the
occupant.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact the
pre-tensioning system may be
triggered before and indepen-
dently of the airbags.
In all cases, the airbag warning
light comes on.
Following an impact, have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The system has been designed
to be fully operational for ten
years. Have it replaced at the end
of this period.
Seat belts (5-door):
