Seat belts

Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fitted with a

pretensioning and force limiting system.

This system improves safety in the front

seats in the event of a front or side impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the

pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat

belts against the body of the occupants.

The pretensioning seat belts are active when

the ignition is on.

seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned

In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and

seriousness of the impact, the

pretensioning device may be deployed

before and independently of the airbags.

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 belts

system checked, and if necessary replaced,

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
