CAUTION
When moving the seats forward or backward, or
returning arear-reclined seatback to its upright
position, make sure you hold onto the seatback
while operating. If the seatback is not held, the
seat or seatback will move suddenly and could
cause injury.
1. Pull up the adjusting lever ➁.
2. Tilt the seatback to the desired position.

Power seat adjustment (where fitted) WARNING
Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in the
vehicle. Pets should not be left alone either. They
could unknowingly activate switches or controls,
or move the vehicle, and inadvertently become
involved in aserious accident and injure them-
selves. Operating tips:
• The power seat motor has an auto-reset over-
load protection circuit. If the motor stops during
the seat adjustment, wait 30 seconds, then reac-
tivate the switch.
• To avoid discharge of the battery, do not operate
the power seats for
along period of time when
the engine is not running. JVR0392XZ

WARNING
• Never allow anyone to ride on the rear seats
when they are in the fold-up position. Use of
this area by passengers without proper re-
straints could result in serious injury or death
in an accident or sudden stop.

Jump seats are designed as temporary seats
only and should only be used on occasional
short distance travels. WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other vehicle
safety systems. They may provide additional pro-
tection against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints must be ad-
justed properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the head re-
straint stalks or remove the head restraint. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint has been
removed. If the head restraint was removed, re-
install and properly adjust the head restraint be-
fore an occupant uses the seating position. Fail-
ure to follow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraint. This may in-
crease the risk of serious injury or death in acol-
lision.
• Your vehicle is equipped with
ahead restraint
that may be integrated, adjustable or non-adjust-
able.
• Adjustable head restraints have multiple notches
along the stalk to lock them in
adesired adjust-
ment position.
• The non-adjustable head restraints have
asingle
locking notch to secure them to the seat frame.
• Proper Adjustment:
–F
or the adjustable type, align the head re-
straint so the centre of your ear is approxi-
mately level with the centre of the head re-
straint. NIC2817 HEAD RESTRAINTS

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
If you are wearing the seat belt properly adjusted
and sitting upright and well back in the seat, chances
of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the
severity of injury may be greatly reduced. RENAULT
strongly encourages you and all of your passengers
to buckle up every time you drive, even if your seat-
ing position includes the supplemental air bag sys-
tems. SSS0134AZ

SEAT BELTS
Safety—seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-9

WARNING
• Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony
structure of the body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis,
chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing
the lap section of the belt across the abdomi-
nal area must be avoided. Serious injury may
occur if aseat belt is not worn properly. •
Position the lap belt as low and snug as pos-
sible around the hips, not the waist.
Alap belt
worn too high could increase the risk of inter-
nal injuries in an accident.
• Do not allow more than one person to use the
same seat belt. Each belt assembly must only
be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to
put
abelt around achild being carried on the
occupant’s lap.
• Never carry more people in the vehicle than
there are seat belts.
• Never wear seat belts inside out. Belts should
not be worn with straps twisted. Doing so may
reduce their effectiveness.
• Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to provide
the protection for which they have been de-
signed.
Aslack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
• Every person who drives or rides in this ve-
hicle should use
aseat belt at all times. Chil-
dren should be in the rear seats and in an
appropriate restraint.
• Do not put the belt behind your back or under
your arm. Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest. The belt
should be away from your face and neck, but
not falling off your shoulder. Serious injury
may occur if aseat belt is not worn properly. •
No modifications or additions should be made
by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to re-
move slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
• Care should be taken to avoid contamination
of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
• It is essential to replace the entire assembly
after it has been worn in
asevere impact even
if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
• All seat belt assemblies including retractors
and attaching hardware should be inspected
after any collision by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop. RENAULT recommends
that all seat belt assemblies in use during a
collision be replaced unless the collision was
minor and the belts show no damage and con-
tinue to operate properly. Seat belt assem-
blies not in use during
acollision should also
be inspected and, when necessary, replaced
if either damage or improper operation is
noted.
• Once the pre-tensioner seat belt (where fit-
ted) has activated, it cannot be reused. It must
be replaced together with the retractor. Con-
tact an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop. SSS0014Z

•
Removal and installation of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system (where fitted) components
should be done by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop.
CHILD SAFETY WARNING
• Infants and children need special protection.
The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them prop- erly. The shoulder belt may come too close to
the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over
their small hipbones. In an accident, an im-
properly fitted seat belt could cause serious
or fatal injury.
• Always use an appropriate child restraint sys-
tem.
Children need adults to help protect them. They
need to be properly restrained. The proper restraint
depends on the child’s size.
Infants and small children RENAULT recommends that infants and small chil-
dren be seated in
achild restraint system. You
should choose achild restraint system that fits your
vehicle and the child, and always follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and use.
Large children WARNING
• Never allow children to stand or kneel on any
seats.
• Never allow children in the luggage areas
while the vehicle is moving.
Achild could be
seriously injured in an accident or sudden
stop.
Children who are too large for achild restraint sys-
tem should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts that are provided.
If the child’s seating position has ashoulder belt that
fits close to the face or neck, the use of abooster
seat (commercially available) may help overcome
this. The booster seat should raise the child so that the shoulder belt is properly positioned across the
top, middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt
is low on the hips. The booster seat should also fit
the vehicle seat. Once the child has grown so that
the shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face or
neck of the child, use the shoulder belt without the
booster seat. In addition, there are many types of
child restraint systems available for larger children
that should be used for maximum protection. PREGNANT WOMEN
RENAULT recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug, and
always position the lap belt as low as possible
around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder
belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never
run the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area.
Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
RENAULT recommends that injured persons use
seat belts. Contact your doctor for specific recom-
mendations.

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTS
Fastening seat belts WARNING
The seatback should not be in
areclined position
any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are
most effective when the passenger sits well back
and straight up in the seat.
1. Adjust the seat. (See “Manual seat adjustment
(where fitted)” earlier in this section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear
and feel the latch engage.
• The retractor is designed to lock during a
sudden stop or on impact.
Aslow pulling
motion permits the seat belt to move, and
allows you some freedom of movement in
the seat. •
If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its
fully retracted position, firmly pull the belt
and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt
out of the retractor.
3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug on the hips as shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retrac- tor to take up extra slack. Be sure the shoulder
belt is routed over your shoulder and is snug
across your chest. Shoulder belt height adjustment (for
front seats) WARNING
• The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position best for you. Failure
to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an accident.
• The shoulder belt should rest on the middle
of the shoulder. It must not rest against the
neck.
• Be sure that the seat belt is not twisted in any
way.
• Be sure that the shoulder belt anchor is se-
cured by trying to move the shoulder belt an-
chor up and down after adjustment.
To adjust, pull on the release button ➀and move
the shoulder belt anchor to the proper position ➁,
so that the belt passes over the centre of the shoul- SSS0292Z
