Function And Common Faults
The seat belt assembly secures the occupant during normal driving and restrains them in the event of a collision. Typical failure modes include webbing wear, fraying or contamination, buckle malfunction, retractor jamming, anchor corrosion, or pretensioner activation during an impact. Components can degrade over time due to UV exposure, dirt ingress, mechanical wear or after deployment of the SRS pretensioner in an accident.
Replacement Guidance
Before replacing a belt, verify the part numbers and vehicle compatibility. Because many seat belts incorporate SRS pretensioners or electrical connectors, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait the manufacturer-recommended interval (commonly 10–15 minutes) to avoid unintended airbag/pretensioner activation. Remove the interior trim panels on the B-pillar and lower anchor cover, unbolt the upper anchor and retractor, then remove the lower anchor and buckle fasteners. Install the new belt in the reverse order, routing the webbing correctly through trim guides. Torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications and check smooth belt travel, proper locking under a sharp pull, and buckle engagement before returning the vehicle to service.
Compatibility And Fitment
Designed for Peugeot 607 models. The Peugeot 607 was produced broadly between 1999 and 2010; actual fitment depends on year, trim and factory options. Always confirm fitment by comparing OEM part numbers 96491283XX and 8974CH with the vehicle’s original part or service documentation.
Safety Notes
Seat belts are a primary occupant protection system. If the belt has been used in a collision, shows signs of impact-related damage, or if the pretensioner has deployed, replacement is mandatory. Incorrect installation can compromise occupant safety. If unsure, have the replacement performed or checked by a qualified technician.
