Description
Passenger Seat Belt For PEUGEOT 307. Five-Door Model.
This is a replacement passenger seat belt with integrated pyrotechnic pretensioner for Peugeot 307 five‑door models. Supplied under OEM-related numbers 96612288XX / 8974TQ / 8974T5, the assembly restores occupant restraint effectiveness after wear or accident-related activation. Designed for professional workshops and competent DIYers, the unit fits original mounting points and maintains the vehicle’s passive safety performance when installed correctly.
Features And Function
The seat belt assembly includes a retractor with locking mechanism and a pyrotechnic pretensioner. In the event of a severe impact the pretensioner instantly shortens the webbing to remove slack, while the retractor locks to keep the occupant securely restrained. The buckle and latch are designed to provide reliable engagement and release under normal service conditions.

Suitable Vehicles / Fitment Notes

Replacement Procedure (Overview)
- Disconnect the vehicle battery and wait sufficient time for restraint system capacitors to discharge before starting work.
- Remove interior trim necessary to access the passenger seat belt upper anchor, retractor, and buckle.
- Unbolt the anchorage points and remove the electrical connector for the pretensioner (handle connectors carefully, do not pull on wiring).
- Install the new assembly into original mounting locations. Use the manufacturer’s specified fasteners and tighten to the factory torque values.
- Reconnect the pretensioner connector and re‑fit trim. Reconnect the battery and, if required, use a diagnostic tool to check/clear restraint system fault codes and confirm correct operation of the seat belt system.
Installation Recommendations
- Always disconnect the battery before working on any component of the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System).
- Do not attempt to repair or modify the pyrotechnic pretensioner or its connector; replace the entire assembly if the pretensioner has been activated or if the wiring/connector is damaged.
- Use only original or equivalent quality fasteners. If bolts show signs of stretch or damage after removal, replace them rather than reusing.
- After installation, perform a full diagnostic scan of the airbag/restraint system and clear any stored faults according to manufacturer procedures.
- Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions and safety procedures at all times when working with restraint components.
When To Replace
Replace the seat belt immediately if the pretensioner has fired in a collision, if the webbing is frayed, cut, burned, stained with chemicals, or if the retractor/buckle no longer locks or releases correctly. There is no routine mileage‑based replacement interval; replacement is condition‑driven and mandatory after deployment.
Most Common Failure Reasons
- Activation of pyrotechnic pretensioner in a crash – pretensioners are single‑use and must be replaced after firing.
- Wear And Tear – Repeated use can lead to webbing fraying, stitching deterioration, or weakened locking components.
- Corrosion Or Contamination – Moisture, corrosion at mounting points, or foreign material in the retractor can impede proper operation.
- Electrical Or Connector Issues – Damaged wiring or poor connector contacts can prevent pretensioner recognition by the vehicle’s restraint system.
- Mechanical Jamming – Debris or internal retractor failure can cause the belt to stick or fail to retract/lock.
Quality replacement of the passenger seat belt is critical for occupant safety. Use the listed product codes to ensure you order the correct assembly for Peugeot 307 five‑door applications.
