COMFORT
AND
SAFETY:
Seat
belts
....................................................................................................................................
To adjust the height of the front seat
belts
Slide the
upper
mounting
by squeezing
control
1.
To fasten the seat belts
Pull the
strap,
then insert
the end
in
the
buckle to
fasten it.
Rear seat belts
The
rear
seats are
fitted with
two
three-point
inertia
reel
seat belts.
The
electronic
impact
detector
which
detonates
the seat
belt
pre-tensioning
system
can only operate
with the ignition
on.
Once the
seat belt
pre-tensioning system has
been
detonated,
it must
be
replaced
and
checked by
your PEUGEOT
dealer.
In
general,
after
any
impact,
have the
system checked by your PEUGEOT dealer.
The
system
has
been
designed
to be fully
operational for ten
years from the date
of reg-
istration
of
the vehicle.
You
should
then
have
it
replaced by
your PEUGEOT dealer.

According to destination
Front seat belt
pre-tensioners*
The front
seat
belts are
fitted with
a
web-
locking system
on
the inertia reel side and
with pre-tensioners.
These systems improve
your protection in
the event
of
a
medium
or
high
impact
frontal
collision.
The pre-ten-
sioners
tighten
the
seat
belts
in order
to take
up any slack and so firmly hold the occupants
back against the
seat.
Simultaneously
with
the pre-tensioners
the web-locking
device
grips the
strap
firmly. These
two actions
together
limit
the forward
movement
of
the
occupant during the
impact.
To be
effective,
a seat belt must be tigh-
tened
as close to the body as possible.
Detonation
of
the
seat belt
pre-tensioning
system
may occur independently
of detona-
tion of
the airbag (where
fitted). Detonation
will
usually
occur
in the event
of medium
impact frontal
collisions
for which detonation
of
the airbag is
not
necessary.
In
all
cases,
the airbag warning
light
comes on.
