Installation Notes

Replacement should be performed by a qualified technician or an experienced DIYer familiar with SRS components. Basic replacement steps:

• Disconnect the vehicle battery and wait at least 10 minutes before starting work to reduce the risk of accidental pretensioner deployment.
• Remove trim panels to access the seatbelt upper anchor and retractor mounting points; retain all fasteners for re-use or replace with OE-spec items.
• Unplug the electrical connector for the pyrotechnic pretensioner—note and release any locking tabs before disconnecting.
• Unbolt the lower anchor and retractor, fit the new unit, and secure bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specification.
• Reconnect the pretensioner connector, reassemble trim, reconnect the battery, and clear any SRS fault codes with a diagnostic tool.

Recommended Installation

– Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual for removal and installation sequences and torque values.
– Use a diagnostic tool (e.g., factory-level or aftermarket SRS-capable scanner) to check and clear airbag/seatbelt fault codes after fitting.
– Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the pyrotechnic pretensioner module; it is a single-use safety device.

Why This Part Fails

Common causes for replacement include:
– Pretensioner Deployment: Pyrotechnic pretensioners activate in an impact and must be replaced after deployment.
– Mechanical Wear: Webbing abrasion, fraying, or contamination (dirt, oils) can impair belt retraction and locking.
– Corrosion or Seizure: Water ingress or rust can seize the retractor mechanism, preventing proper locking.
– Electrical/Connector Damage: Damaged wiring or connectors to the pretensioner can trigger SRS faults and disable the system.

Important Safety Advice

This unit contains a pyrotechnic pretensioner—a single-use explosive component. Handle with care, keep away from heat sources, and do not attempt to disassemble. If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, inspect related mounting points and anchorings for deformation and replace any damaged parts to ensure correct function.

Product Overview

High-quality passenger side pyrotechnic seat belt assembly designed for Citroën C4 (5-door) and Peugeot 307 models. Supplied to meet OEM standards for fit and function, this seat belt includes the pretensioner mechanism that reduces webbing slack in the event of a collision, improving occupant restraint together with the vehicle’s airbag system. Commonly searched by part numbers 96527696XX and 8974T5, this unit is intended for professional installers and experienced DIYers who work on SRS-equipped vehicles.

Technical Information

• Manufacturer: Stellantis (CITROËN / PEUGEOT)
• Model: Citroën C4 (5-Door, C4 I), Peugeot 307 (5-Door)
• Product Codes: 96527696XX, 8974T5
• Other Numbers: 8974.T5

Function And Characteristics

This assembly combines the seat belt webbing, retractor and a pyrotechnic pretensioner. In the event of a qualifying impact the pretensioner fires to remove slack from the belt instantly, securing the occupant more effectively and improving the performance of the airbag. Pretensioners are single-use safety devices: once activated they must be replaced.

Typical Causes Of Failure

Seat belts and pretensioners most commonly fail or require replacement for the following reasons:

• Deployment During A Crash: Activation of the pyrotechnic charge makes the unit unusable and requires replacement.
• Mechanical Wear And Tear: Frayed webbing, damaged buckles or worn retractors from long-term use or improper handling.
• Corrosion Or Connector Damage: Moisture and corrosion at the electrical connector can create SRS faults or prevent pretensioner activation.
• Electrical Faults: Open circuits, damaged wiring or poor contacts in the SRS loop can cause warning lights and disable the system.

Replacement Guide And Installation Recommendations

These instructions are intended as a general guide for trained technicians and competent DIYers. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual for exact procedures and torque values.

1. Disconnect The Negative Battery Terminal And Wait At Least 10 Minutes To Allow The SRS Capacitors To Discharge.
2. Remove Interior Trim Panels And Seats As Required To Access The Retractor And Lower Anchor Points.
3. Carefully Disconnect The Electrical Connector For The Pretensioner (Observe Connector Locking Mechanisms).
4. Unbolt The Retractor And Any Mounting Brackets, Remove The Old Assembly.
5. Install The New Seat Belt Assembly, Secure Bolts To The Manufacturer’s Specified Torque.
6. Reconnect The Pretensioner Connector And Reinstall Trim Panels. Reconnect The Battery.
7. Clear Any SRS Fault Codes Using A Diagnostic Tool And Verify The Airbag Light Is Off Before Returning The Vehicle To Service.

Important: Because the seat belt pretensioner is part of the Supplemental Restraint System, correct installation and diagnosis with an appropriate SRS-capable diagnostic tool is strongly recommended. If the airbag warning lamp remains on after replacement, further diagnosis of the SRS circuit is required.

Why Replace This Part

Beyond crash deployment, replacement is recommended when the belt webbing is torn or excessively worn, the retractor fails to retract smoothly, or the SRS system reports a pretensioner fault. Driving with a compromised seat belt assembly reduces occupant protection and may prevent the airbag system from operating as designed.

Suitable Vehicles / Fitment Notes

Main Fitment: Peugeot 307 (5‑door). This part number is associated with Stellantis Citroën/Peugeot platforms and may also appear on related models sharing the same restraint architecture. Confirm fitment by matching product codes listed above with the vehicle’s parts documentation before ordering.

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.
