Front Seat Belts - PEUGEOT RCZ Handbook

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.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of
the occupant, so improving their protection.
Fastening
F Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle.
F Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening

the seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened.
