METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
Driver and passenger
air bag (continued)
Each air bag system consists of:
- An air bag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger;
- A computer for both systems,
which includes the impact
detector and a monitor controlling
the electrical trigger system for the
gas generator;
- One single tell-tale light1on the
instrument panel.Operation
The system is only operational after
the ignition has been turned on
(ignition key in position“M”
ignition on).
If a severefrontalimpact occurs, the
air bag(s) inflate(s) in approximately
30 millisecond(s), cushioning the
impact of the driver’s head against
the steering wheel and the front
passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers
are not impeded in any way when
they get out of the vehicle.
The air bag system uses the
principles of pyrotechnics. This
explains why, when the air bag
inflates, it will generate heat,
produce smoke (this does not mean
that a fire is about to start) and
make a noise upon detonation. In a
situation where an air bag is
required, it must inflate
immediately and this may cause
some minor, superficial grazing to
the skin.Operating fault
Tell-tale light1illuminates on the
instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then extinguishes
after a few seconds.
If it does not illuminate when the
ignition is turned on or if it flashes,
there is a fault in the system.
Consult your Renault Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be
reduced until this problem is
rectified.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
All the warnings given below are
designed to ensure that the air bag
can inflate correctly and to prevent
serious injuries caused by items
which may be dislodged when the
air bag inflates.Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
•Do not modify either the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
• Do not cover the steering wheel boss.
• Do not attach any objects (pin, logo, clock, telephone support, etc.) to the
steering wheel boss.
• The steering wheelmust notbe removed (except by qualified personnel
within the Renault network).
• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightly
bent (see information on “Adjusting your driving position” in section 1), it
will ensure that there is sufficient space for the air bag to inflate properly
and to be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag: location1
•Do not attach or affix with adhesive any objects (pin, logo, clock, telephone
support, etc.) on the dashboard near where the air bag is located:
• Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (animal,
umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
• The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard as there is a
risk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep all parts
of the body (knees, hands, heads, etc.) well away from the dashboard.
A REAR-FACING CHILD/BABY SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED
TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED
WITH A PASSENGER AIR BAG.
