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.The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.The front seat belts are fitted with a singlepyrotechnic pretensioning system (or double on the driver’s side, depending on equipment) and a force limiter (or progressive force limiter on the driver’s side, depending on equipment options).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.The double pyrotechnic pretensionsining system operates the same way, except that it uses two anchor points rather than one, for enhanced effectiveness.The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are enabled when the ignition is on.
100SafetyThe force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.The progressive force limiter operates in the same way, except that it takes the driver’s stature into consideration, thus optimising the reduction in the pressure exerted by the seat belt on the occupant’s chest in the event of an impact.Fastening►Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the buckle.►Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling on the strap.Unfastening►Press the red button on the buckle.►Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.Two-seat front bench seatIf the vehicle is fitted with a front bench seat, ensure that each seat belt is used with its correct buckle.Do not interchange the driver's seat belt or buckle with the centre seat belt or buckle.Rear seat beltsEach rear seat is equipped with a seat belt but no pyrotechnic pretensioning system or force limiter.Take care to insert each seatbelt into its matching buckle.Do not interchange the belts or buckles for the outer seats with the belt or buckle for the centre seat.Rear seat belts (row 2)
101Safety5Outer seatsDepending 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.Centre seatThe seat belt does not have a pyrotechnic pretensioning system and force limiters.Installation►Pull the strap and insert the tongueA into the right buckle (located on the passenger’s left side when seated in the vehicle).►Insert the tongueB into the left buckle (located on the passenger’s right side when seated in the vehicle).►Check that each buckle is fastened correctly by pulling the strap.Removal and storage►Press the red button on buckle B, then the button on buckle A.►Guide the strap as it reels in and take tongue B, then A to the magnet at the anchoring point on the roof.Before performing any operations on the rear seats, to avoid damage to the seat belts check that the lateral belts are properly tensioned. The central seat belt must be completely reeled in.Rear seat belts (row 3)These seat belts are not fitted with a pyrotechnic pretensioning system or force limiter.Seat belt(s) warning lamps1.Seat belt not fastened/unfastened warning lamp2.Front left-hand seat belt not fastened/unfastened warning lamp (or driver's seat belt, depending on country of sale).3.Front right-hand seat belt not fastened/unfastened warning lamp (or driver's seat belt, depending on country of sale).4.Front centre seat belt (row 1) not fastened/unfastened warning lamp.5.Rear left-hand seat belt (row 2) not fastened/unfastened warning lamp.
102Safety6.Rear centre seat belt (row 2) not fastened/unfastened warning lamp.7.Rear right-hand seat belt (row 2) not fastened/unfastened warning lamp.Not fastened at the frontWhen the ignition is switched on, warning lamp 1 lights up on the instrument panel (depending on version) and the corresponding indicator lamp (2, 3 or 4 (depending on version)) lights up if the driver and/or front passenger have not fastened their seat belts.At a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h), these warning lamps flash, accompanied by an increasing audible signal for approximately two minutes. After two minutes, these warning lamps remain on as long as the front seatbelts are not fastened.Not fastened at the rearWhen the ignition is switched on, with the engine running or the vehicle moving at a speed below 12mph (20km/h), warning lamp 1 (depending on version) and the corresponding indicator lamps (5 to 7) light up for around sixty seconds, if one or more rear seat belts (row 2) are not fastened.There are no seat belt warning lamps for row 3.UnfastenedAfter the ignition is switched on, warning lamp 1(depending on version) and the corresponding indicator lamps light up if the driver and/or one or more passengers unfasten their seat belts.At a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h), these warning lamps flash, accompanied by an audible signal for approximately two minutes. After this time, these warning lamps remain on as long as the seatbelts are not refastened.AdviceThe 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.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.InstallationThe lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.At the front, adjusting the position of the seat belt may require the seat height to be adjusted.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 is not twisted.–must only be used to secure one person.–not show signs of tearing or fraying.–not be changed or modified, in order to avoid affecting its performance.Recommendations for childrenUse a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5 metres.Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one child.Never carry a child on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.MaintenanceIn accordance with current safety regulations, for all work on your vehicle's seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
103Safety5Have the 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.In the event of an impactDepending on the nature and 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.AirbagsGeneral informationThis system is designed to improve the safety of the occupants of the front seats and the rear outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The airbags supplement the action of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting system.Electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:–In the event of violent impact, the airbags deploy instantly and help better protect the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the occupants.–In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect you in these situations.The seriousness of the impact depends on the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the moment of collision.The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.Impact detection zonesA.Front impact zoneB.Side impact zoneWhen one or more airbags are deployed, the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the system makes a noise and releases a small quantity of smoke.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience irritation.The detonation noise associated with the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
