Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis / Citroën / Peugeot
- Model: Citroën C4 Picasso, Citroën C4 Grand Picasso
- Product Codes: 8975Q2
- Other Numbers: N/A
Function And Application
The bracket secures the seat belt buckle receptacle to the seat frame or floor mounting point. It positions the buckle so the tongue engages reliably and transfers loads to the vehicle structure in the event of a collision. A correctly mounted bracket ensures the buckle remains accessible and functions as part of the complete seat belt system.
Replacement Procedure (Overview)
- Park the vehicle on level ground and set the handbrake. Switch off the ignition.
- Move the seat to gain access to the mounting bolts beneath the seat or trim. Remove any trim covers as required.
- Unbolt the existing bracket from the seat frame or floor mounting points. Keep original fasteners if they are in good condition, otherwise replace with OE-specified bolts.
- Install the new bracket in the correct orientation and torque bolts to the manufacturer’s specification. Refit trim and check buckle operation—it must latch and release smoothly.
- Perform a final visual inspection of mounting points and routing of the seat belt webbing to ensure there is no chafing or interference.
Installation Recommendations
- Use proper tools and torque settings—if torque values are unknown, consult official repair documentation for the Citroën C4 Picasso models.
- Inspect adjacent components (seat frame, buckle assembly, webbing, anchors) for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
- Replace any damaged or corroded mounting bolts rather than reusing compromised hardware.
- Ensure the buckle clicks securely and that the release mechanism operates freely after installation.
- If the vehicle is equipped with seat wiring (sensors or belt-warning connectors), handle connectors carefully and verify electrical connections before final assembly.
Why The Part Commonly Fails
Bracket problems usually stem from mechanical damage, corrosion, or stress from impacts. Common causes include minor collisions, repeated heavy loads or misuse, and rust where mounts are exposed to moisture. In some cases, deformation can prevent the buckle from seating correctly or cause unusual wear on the buckle assembly and webbing. Regular inspection after an impact or when buckle operation becomes stiff will help detect issues early.
