Get Safety -> Seat belts Guide for Peugeot Rifter 4 Door 2003-2017

Safety

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the

seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus

improving their protection.

Operating fault

Rear seat belts (row 2)

The progressive force limiter operates

in identical fashion, except that it takes

into account the build of the driver, thereby

optimising the reduction of the pressure of the

seat belt against the chest, following an impact.

If a fault occurs with the system,

this warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by the display of

a message in the instrument panel.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualified workshop.

Fastening

Seat belts

Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fitted with a single

pyrotechnic pretensioning system (or double

on the driver's side, depending on equipment)

and force limiters (or progressive force

limiters on the driver's side, depending on

equipment).

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

single pyrotechnic pretensioning system

instantly tightens the seat belts against the

body of the occupants.

Outer seats

Depending on equipment, they may be fitted

with a single pretensioning system and force

limiters.

Be sure to put the correct seat belt in the

correct buckle.

Do not interchange the belts or buckles for the

outer seats with the belt or buckle for the centre

seat.

F Pull the strap then insert the tongue in the

buckle.

F Check that the seat belt is fastened

correctly by pulling the strap.

The double pyrotechnic pretensioning system

operates in identical fashion, except that it

combines two anchoring points instead of one,

thereby reinforcing its efficiency.

F Press the red button on the buckle.

F Guide the seat belt as it reels in.

Safety

Front seat belt warning lamp(s)

Advice

On switching on the ignition, warning lamp

1 comes on in the instrument panel, and the

corresponding warning lamp (1 or 2) comes

on in red in the seat belt and front passenger

airbag warning lamp display if the driver's seat

belt and/or the passenger(s) seat belt is/are not

fastened or is/are unfastened.

The driver must ensure that passengers

use the seat belts correctly and that they

are all fastened before setting off.

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,

always fasten your seat belt, even for

short journeys.

Do not interchange the seat belt buckles

as they will not fulfil their role fully.

The seat belts are fitted with an inertia

reel permitting automatic adjustment of

the length of the strap to your size. The

seat belt is stowed automatically when not

in use.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

be tightened as close to the body as

possible,

be pulled in front of you with a smooth

movement, checking that it does not

twist,

be used to restrain only one person,

not show any signs of cuts or fraying,

not be converted or modified to avoid

affecting its performance.

Rear seat belt warning lamp(s)

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all repairs on your

vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified

workshop with the skills and equipment

needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able

to provide.

Have your seat belts checked regularly

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop, 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 reeled in correctly.

The corresponding warning lamp (3 to 5)

comes on in red in the seat belt and front

passenger airbag warning lamp display if one

or more rear passengers (row 2) unfasten their

seat belt.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat

belt is reeled in 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.

These seat belt warning lamps only apply

to row 2.

The inertia reels have an automatic

locking device at the time of a collision,

during sudden braking or if the vehicle

turns over. You can release the device by

pulling the strap firmly and then releasing

it so that it reels in slightly.
