seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic  
device may trigger before and independently  
of airbag deployment. Deployment of the  
pretensioners 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 airbag warning lamp comes  
on.  
Following an impact, have the seat belt  
system checked, and if necessary replaced,  
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
Seat belts  
Inertia reel  
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia  
reel which allows the strap length to adjust  
automatically to the shape of the user. The seat  
belt returns to its storage automatically when it  
is not used.  
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which  
automatically locks the strap in the event of a  
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls  
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly  
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.  
Pyrotechnic pretensioning  
Each of the rear seats has a three-point seat belt  
with inertia reel.  
The outer seats are fitted, depending on the  
version, with a pyrotechnic pretensioning and  
force limiting system.  
Front seat belts  
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic  
pretensioning system, depending on version,  
and a force limiting system.  
Fastening  
This system improves safety in the event of a  
frontal or side impact.  
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the  
buckle.  
► Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly  
by pulling on the strap.  
Depending on the severity of the impact, the  
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly  
tightens the seat belts against the body of the  
occupants.  
Unfastening  
► Press the red button on the buckle.  
► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.  
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are  
enabled when the ignition is on.  
Force limiting system  
This system reduces the pressure of the seat  
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving  
their protection.

use the seat belts correctly and that they
