or fraying,

the vehicle, always fasten your seat
belt, even for short journeys.

must not be transformed or
modiied to avoid altering its
performance.
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts, the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the
air bags. Triggering of the pre-ten-
sioners is accompanied by a slight
emission 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 nec-
essary 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 regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer and particularly
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.
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 itted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event of
a collision, on emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can
release the device by pulling rapidly
on the strap and releasing it.
