Description
Overview
Driver Pyrotechnic Seat Belt for Peugeot 307 five-door models. This driver-side seat belt assembly includes a pyrotechnic pretensioner designed to tighten the belt instantly during a severe impact, helping to reduce occupant forward movement and improving the overall effectiveness of the restraint system.
Function And Service Guidance
The pyrotechnic element in the pretensioner activates in a collision, retracting webbing to secure the occupant. After activation the pretensioner must be replaced. Typical signs that this assembly requires replacement include deployment in an accident, a persistent airbag/SRS warning light, visible damage to the belt webbing or retractor, or electrical/connector faults. In normal conditions the unit does not require periodic replacement, but inspect the belt and hardware after any impact or on evidence of wear.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or a competent DIYer who follows SRS safety procedures. Recommended general steps: disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait the manufacturer-specified time for SRS capacitors to discharge; remove trim panels to access mounting points; unbolt the old buckle/retractor and electrical connector; fit the new assembly ensuring correct routing of the webbing and secure mounting; reconnect connector and battery; verify SRS/seat belt warning lamp resets. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual for torque specifications and safety precautions. Never attempt to repair a deployed pretensioner.
Common Failure Causes
Most failures are caused by activation during a collision. Other causes include electrical connector corrosion, wiring damage, mechanical wear or contamination of the webbing. If the SRS light is illuminated or the belt does not retract smoothly, troubleshoot the system and replace the unit as required.
