over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly  
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.  
Pyrotechnic pretensioning  
This system improves safety in the event of a  
frontal or side impact.  
Front seat belts  
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic  
pretensioning system and a progressive force  
limiting system.  
The trailer stability control system  
provides an extra safety feature under  
normal driving conditions, when following the  
recommendations for use of trailers and  
current legislation in force in your country. It  
must not encourage the driver to take extra  
risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable  
conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load,  
exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated  
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at  
excessive speed.  
In certain cases, the system may not detect  
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.  
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the  
system may not be able to prevent sudden  
trailer snaking.  
Depending on the severity of the impact, the  
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly  
tightens the seat belts against the body of the  
occupants.  
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are  
enabled when the ignition is on.  
Progressive force limiting system  
This system reduces the pressure of the seat  
belt on the chest of the occupant, taking their  
stature into account, thus improving their  
protection.  
Rear seat belts  
In the event of an impact  
Depending on the nature and  
Each of the rear seats has a three-point seat belt  
with inertia reel.  
The outer seats are fitted with a pyrotechnic  
pretensioning and force limiting system.  
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.  
Fastening  
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the  
buckle.  
► Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly  
by pulling on the strap.  
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  
Unfastening  
► Press the red button on the buckle.  
► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.

Advice  
5
The driver must ensure that passengers  
use the seat belts correctly and that they  
are all fastened before setting off.  
Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must  
always fasten the seat belt, even for short  
journeys.  
Seat belt unfastened alert  
After the ignition is switched on, if the  
driver or a passenger unfastens their seat belt,  
the corresponding warning lamp (1, 2, 3, 4 or  
5) comes on in red. At a speed greater than  
12 mph (20 km/h), the warning lamp flashes,  
accompanied by an audible signal for around 2  
minutes. After this time has elapsed, the warning  
lamp remains on until the seat belt has been  
fastened again.  
With the ignition on, if the driver or a  
passenger fastens their seat belt, the  
corresponding warning lamp (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5)  
comes on in green on the display.  
With the ignition on, if one of the front or  
rear passenger seats is detected as being  
unoccupied, the corresponding warning lamp (2,  
3, 4 or 5) comes on in grey on the display.  
When there are no longer any not fastened/  
unfastened alerts, the green or grey warning  
lamps remain on for around 30 seconds, then  
go off.  
Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they  
will not fulfil their role properly.  
To ensure the proper functioning of the belt  
buckles, make sure that there are no foreign  
bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.  
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt  
is reeled in correctly.  
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench  
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned  
and reeled in correctly.

– be tightened as close to the body as  
possible.  
– be pulled in front of you with a smooth  
movement, checking that it is not twisted.  
– must only be used to secure one person.

accompanied by an audible signal for around 2  
minutes. After this time has elapsed, the warning
