SEAT BELTS
Seat belt height adjustment:
- to lower: pull the control towards you and slide it downwards,
- to raise: slide the control upwards. To lock the seat belts
Pull the strap, then insert the end into
the buckle.
Front seat belts with pre-
tensioner and force limiter
Safety in the event of front
impacts has been improved by
the introduction of seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force limiter for
the front seats. Depending on the
seriousness of the impact, the pre-
tensioning system instantly tightens
the seat belts and pulls them against
the bodies of the occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force limiter eases the pressure
of the seat belt on the body of
the occupant in the event of an
accident.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are itted with:
- three three-point inertia reel seat
belts (saloon and 206 SW)
- two three-point inertia reel seat belts (206 GTi 180).

Wherever you are seated in
the vehicle, always fasten
your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulil their role fully.
If the seats have armrests*, the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
Before and after use, ensure that
the seat belt is rolled up correctly.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the body as possible,
- must restrain one adult only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must not be twisted,
- must not be transformed or modiied. Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and rolled up correctly.
Recommendations for child seats:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre ifty,
- do not use the strap-guide* when a child seat is installed. Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts
,
the pre-tensioning device may be
triggered before and independently
of the air bags.
In all cases, the air bag warning
light comes on.
Following an impact, have the
seat belts system checked,
and if necessary replaced, by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
