must be tensioned as
close to the body as pos-
sible.

Safety in the event of a frontal impact
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of pre-tensioning and force-limit-
ing 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.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force-limiting device reduces the
pressure of the seat belt against the
occupant’s body in the event of an
accident.
Depending on the nature and seri-
ousness of the impact the pre-ten-
sioning system may be triggered
before and independently of the
airbags.
In all cases, the airbag warning
light comes on.
Following an impact, have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
