Pre-tensioning and force-limiting
front seat belts
Safety in the event of a frontal impact
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of pre-tensioning and force-limit-
ing front seat belts. Depending on
the seriousness of the impact, the
pre-tensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belt firmly against the
body of the occupant.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force-limiting device reduces the
pressure of the seat belt against the
occupant's body in the event of an
accident.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are fitted with two
three-point inertia reel belts.

To be effective, a seat
belt must be tightened as
close to the body as pos-
sible.
Depending on the nature and the
seriousness of the impact, the
pre-tensioners may be triggered
before and independently of the
air bags.
In all cases, the air bag warning
light comes on.
Following a collision, have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
The system has been designed to
be fully operational for ten years.
Have it replaced after this period.
