Features And Benefits

Durable webbing and factory-style retractor provide reliable locking and belt recovery. Designed to meet original equipment fitment for correct anchorage geometry and occupant restraint. Suitable for replacing frayed, cut or non-retracting belts and for restoring post-collision restraint function when the pretensioner has not been deployed.

Compatibility

Intended for Peugeot 406 front passenger (right) position. Search by product codes 96384989XX or 8974CR to confirm model fitment for specific model years and trim levels.

Installation

• Before Work: Always disconnect the vehicle battery and wait a few minutes before touching seat belt pretensioner connectors to avoid accidental deployment.
• Removal: Remove interior trim panels as required to access upper anchor, retractor and lower mounting bolt. Unbolt the lower anchor and retractor, disconnect any electrical connector for the pretensioner if present.
• Fitment: Route the belt exactly as the original, fit the retractor and anchorage bolts, and reconnect the pretensioner connector if applicable. Refit trim panels.
• After Work: Tighten mounting bolts to the Manufacturer’s specified torque (consult the workshop manual). Reconnect the battery and verify belt operation. If the belt assembly includes a pretensioner, use an appropriate diagnostic tool to check and clear airbag/restraint system fault codes.

Mounting Recommendations

Use original or equivalent grade fasteners and follow Peugeot torque specifications for anchor bolts. Ensure the belt webbing is not twisted and that the retractor locks correctly under quick pull. When an electrical pretensioner is present, verify connector integrity and any diagnostic fault codes with PSA-capable service tools. If unsure about handling airbag/pretensioner components, have the replacement performed by a qualified technician.

Most Common Reasons For Failure

• Wear And Mechanical Damage: Fraying, cuts or abrasion from daily use reduce belt strength and are the most frequent causes for replacement.
• Pretensioner Deployment: After a collision the pretensioner activates and the belt must be replaced.
• Retractor Faults: Dirt, corrosion or internal mechanism wear can cause the retractor to stick or fail to lock.
• Contamination: Oils, chemicals or prolonged UV exposure can degrade webbing performance.

Regular visual inspections and functional checks (retraction speed, locking on sudden pull, no visible damage) help identify when replacement is required. Replace the belt immediately after any airbag or pretensioner deployment.
