To fasten the seat-belts: Pull the strap, then insert the buckle into the stalk. Front seat belts with pre-tensioners and force limiters*. Safety in a head-on collision has been improved thanks to the introduction of pre- tensioners and force limiters in the front seats. Depending on the seriousness ofthe collision, the pre-tensioning system tightens the seat belts immediately andholds them firmly against the occupants. Pre-tensioning seat belts are armed when the ignition is switched on.The force limiter decreases the pressure of the belt on the body in the case of an accident. Rear seat belts The rear seats are fitted with two three-point inertia reel belts.
* According to specification.To be effective, a seat belt must be tensioned asclose to the body as pos-sible.
Depending on the nature and seri-ousness of the impact the pre-ten-sioning system may be triggeredbefore and independently of theairbags. In all cases, the airbag warning light comes on. Following an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. The system has been designed to be fully operational for ten years. Have it replaced at the end of this period. 85
