SEAT BELTS Seat belt height adjustment:
Ð to lower: pull the control and slideit downwards.
Ð to raise: slide the control upwards. To lock the seat beltsPull 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 introduc-tion of seat belts with pre-tensionerand force limiter for the front seats.Depending on the seriousness ofthe impact, the pre-tensioning sys-tem instantly tightens the seat beltsand pulls them against the bodies ofthe 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 theoccupant in the event of an acci-dent. Rear seat belts The rear seats are fitted with two three-point inertia reel seat beltsand a lap belt (one-piece rear seat)or with three three-point inertia reelseat belts (two-part rear seat, 1/3 -2/3).
To be effective, a seat belt must be tightenedas close to the body aspossible.
Depending on the nature andseriousness of the impact, thepre-tensioning system may betriggered before and indepen-dently of the air bags. In all cases, the air bag warning light on the instrument panelcomes on. Following an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. The system has been designed to be fully operational for tenyears. Have it replaced at the end of this period.
