Direct-fit right front passenger seat belt designed for Peugeot 406 vehicles.

Key Benefits
- Exact fit for Peugeot 406 body variants (sedan, coupe, estate), easing installation and reducing trim adjustment.
- Durable black FXX webbing and OE-style retractor/buckle interface for secure passenger restraint.
- Ideal when replacing worn, frayed or locked belts after damage or activation.
How The Part Functions
The seat belt assembly secures the front passenger by locking the webbing under sudden deceleration and restraining forward movement. The retractor maintains appropriate tension during normal use and locks the belt during a crash event. If equipped, a pyrotechnic pretensioner will remove slack in the initial milliseconds of an impact (follow safety procedures if present).
How To Replace (Overview)
- Park vehicle on level ground and disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work.
- Remove trim panels and access covers to expose upper anchorage and retractor mounting bolts.
- Unbolt lower anchor and buckle mounting; if the belt assembly includes an electrical connector for a pretensioner, disconnect it following safety guidelines.
- Remove the old assembly and fit the new seat belt in the same routing orientation. Secure the retractor and anchor bolts and tighten to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
- Reinstall trim, reconnect any electrical connectors, reconnect the battery, and verify belt retraction and locking operation. Clear fault codes with a diagnostic tool if required.
