SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts

The front seat belts are ﬁtted with a pre-

tensioning and force limiting system.

This system improves safety in the front

seats in the event of a front impact. De-

pending on the severity of the impact,

the pretensioning system instantly tight-

ens the seat belts against the body of

the occupants.

The pretensioning seat belts are active

when the ignition is on.

The force limiter reduces the pressure

of the seat belt on the chest of the occu-

pant, so increasing his protection.

SAFETY

The driver must ensure that passen-

gers use the seat belts correctly and

that they are all restrained securely

before setting off.

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 in-

ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-

ment of the length of the strap to your

size. The seat belt is stored automat-

ically when not in use.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The upper part must be positioned in

the hollow of the shoulder.

The inertia reels are ﬁtted with an auto-

matic locking device which comes into

operation in the event of a collision,

emergency braking or if the vehicle

rolls over. You can release the device

by pulling rapidly on the strap and re-

leasing it.
