SEAT BELTS
Detection of fastening of the front
seat belts

When the ignition is switched on , if a
front passenger has not fastened his seat
belt and if the vehicle speed is below
13 mph (20 km/h) , you are warned by
lighting of the seat belt warning light .
The warning light switches off when the
seat belt(s) concerned is(are) fastened.
If the vehicle speed is above 13 mph
(20 km/h) , you are warned by fl ashing
of the seat belt warning light , an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction display locating the un-
fastened seat belt(s).
Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force
limiter
In the event of a serious front impact,
the pre-tensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts fi rmly against
the bodies of the occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the chest of the
occupant, so increasing his protection.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are all fi tted with a
three-point inertia reel seat belt.
The rear side seat belts have a force
limiter and may be fi tted with a pre-
tensioning inertia reel.

To fasten the seat belts

 Pull the strap, then insert the
tongue into the buckle.

 Check that the seat belt is secured
correctly by pulling the strap.

To unfasten the seat belts

 Press the red button on the buckle. Before folding the seat back, pull the
strap and insert the seat belt tongue
into the buckle. This precaution will
ensure that each seat belt is in place
when the rear seats are lifted again.

Note: a bag or an animal
placed on the front passenger
seat may trigger the lighting of
the warning light.
The audible signal ceases and the
warning light switches off when the
seat belt concerned is fastened.
After two minutes without any action on
the seat belts, the fl ashing warning light
remains on permanently and the audible
signal ceases. All of the warnings cease
when a door is opened or when the
engine is switched off.
Front seat belt height adjustment:

 To lower the attachment point,
squeeze control 1 and slide it
downwards,

 To raise the attachment point, slide
control 1 upwards.

The driver must ensure that
the passengers use the seat
belts correctly and that they
are all properly restrained be-
fore setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehi-
cle, always fasten your seat belt, even
for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role fully.
If the seats have armrests * , the lap
part of the seat belt must always pass
under the armrest.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stored automatically
when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in
the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an
automatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a collision,
on emergency braking or if the vehicle
rolls over. You can release the device
by pulling rapidly on the strap and
releasing it. Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years
old or shorter than one metre fi fty,
- do not use the strap-guide * when a child seat is installed.
- never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap.

Depending on the nature and serious-
ness of the impacts , the pre-tensioning
device may be triggered before and in-
dependently of the air bags. Triggering of
the pre-tensioners is accompanied by a
slight emission of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the py-
rotechnic cartridge incorporated in the
system.
In all cases, the air bag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if necessary
replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to model.
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 be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that
it does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modifi ed to avoid altering its performance.
In accordance with current safety reg-
ulations, all repairs and checks must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer
who guarantees that the work is car-
ried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer and 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.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and rolled up correctly.

sition P for the automatic gearbox),
- never go underneath a vehicle
which is supported only by a jack. Tyre under-infl ation detection
system warning light
These original wheels are fi tted with a
pressure sensor (see paragraph "Tyre

which detects the removal or absence
of a wheel fi tted with the indicator
sensor signals the anomaly. Have
the wheel repaired and checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
After changing the wheel:
- have the tightening of the bolts and
the tyre pressure of the spare wheel
