Description
Seat Belt For PEUGEOT 307 CITROËN C4 Five-Door Model Driver Side
Overview
This driver-side pyrotechnic seat belt assembly is designed for five‑door models of the Peugeot 307 and Citroën C4. It combines the retractor, webbing and pretensioner into a single safety unit that reduces occupant movement in the initial milliseconds of a collision. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics looking for a direct-fit replacement with original-equipment references.
Features And Benefits
- Complete driver-side assembly including pretensioner and retractor for correct fit and safety.
- OE Cross-Reference Numbers Included (useful for fast lookup): 96527697XX, 8974T9.
- Direct replacement for five‑door hatchback variants of Peugeot 307 and Citroën C4 I where specified.
- Designed to work with the vehicle’s SRS/airbag system to ensure occupant protection during an impact.
- Durable webbing and OEM-style connector for reliable electrical and mechanical connection.
Function And Application
The unit integrates a pyrotechnic pretensioner: on crash detection the pretensioner fires to remove slack from the belt, positioning the occupant securely against the seat. After deployment the pretensioner is single‑use and the entire belt assembly must be replaced. In normal service the retractor provides webbing pay‑out and locking during sudden deceleration.

Installation Recommendations
- Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety procedures. Before starting, disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes (or follow the manufacturer specified wait time) to allow SRS capacitors to discharge.
- Remove necessary trim panels to access the belt retractor and lower anchorage. Keep fasteners and trim organized for reassembly.
- Unbolt the seat belt anchorage and retractor bolts. Carefully disconnect the electrical connector for the pretensioner; avoid pulling on the wiring harness.
- Fit the replacement unit in the original orientation. Replace any damaged fasteners or clips. Tighten mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
- After reconnecting the battery, use an appropriate diagnostic tool to clear SRS fault codes and confirm that the airbag/SRS warning lamp is extinguished. If the warning lamp remains on, diagnose the SRS system with professional equipment.
- Because the pretensioner contains a pyrotechnic charge, installation and testing are recommended for experienced technicians or professional workshops equipped for SRS work.
Why This Part Fails Most Commonly
- Activation In A Collision: The pretensioner is single‑use and must be replaced after any deployment.
- Electrical Issues: Corroded connectors, damaged wiring or poor crimps can interrupt the squib circuit and trigger SRS faults.
- Moisture And Corrosion: Water ingress in the door or A‑pillar area can corrode components and connectors over time.
- Age And Wear: Although webbing and retractors are durable, long service life and mechanical wear can affect function.
- Previous Improper Repairs: Incorrect splicing or non‑OEM parts in the squib circuit can cause faults or unsafe behavior.
Compatibility Notes
Intended for driver-side fitment on five‑door Peugeot 307 and Citroën C4 I models where the listed OE codes apply. Always verify the part number against the vehicle’s original equipment number before fitting. Suitable for professional replacement after crash deployment or when SRS diagnostics indicate a pretensioner fault.
Additional Safety Advice
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the pretensioner mechanism. Dispose of deployed units according to local regulations. If uncertain about any step, have the replacement performed by a qualified technician with SRS diagnostic capability.
