METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
Force limiter
Above a certain severity of impact,
this mechanism is used to limit the
force of the belt against the body so
that it is at an acceptable level.
Warning relating to the
service life of airbags
and pretensioners
Pyrotechnic systems for
airbags and pretensioners have a
limited service life: refer to the
servicing booklet for your
vehicle for the replacement
frequency.
Driver and passenger airbags
These are fitted to both the driver
and the front passenger seats.
An “Airbag” marking on the
steering wheel and dashboard and a
label in the lower section of the
windscreen inform you of the
presence of additional means of
restraint (airbags, pretensioners,
etc.) in the passenger compartment.
Each airbag system consists of:
- an airbag and its two gas
generators (for the small or
large-volume bag depending on
the severity of the frontal impact)
mounted on the steering wheel for
the driver and in the dashboard for
the passenger;
- a computer for both systems,
which includes the impact
detector and the monitor
controlling the electrical trigger
system for each of the gas
generators;
- A single warning light on
the instrument panel.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.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
Operation
The system waits a few seconds
after the ignition has been switched
on before being operational.
If a severefrontalimpact occurs,
the airbag(s) inflate(s) rapidly,
cushioning the impact of the
driver's head and chest against the
steering wheel and the front
passenger's head against the
dashboard. The airbag(s) then
deflate(s) immediately so that the
passengers are not impeded in any
way when they get out of the
vehicle.
The passenger airbag system is
linked to a front passenger airbag
deactivation warning light2on the
instrument panel. This warning
light is linked to the passenger
airbag deactivation system through
the ignition key.
It lights up to indicate that the
passenger airbag will not be inflated
in the event of an impact (refer to
the section on Deactivating the front
passenger airbag).
Operational incidents
Warning light1lights up on the
instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then goes out after
a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the
ignition is turned on, there is a fault
in the system.
If it lights up while you are driving,
stop at once and switch off the
ignition.If it is still lit up after the ignition
has been switched on again, there is
a fault in the system. In this case, a
rear-facing child seat MUST NOT be
fitted to the front passenger seat.
We do not recommend fitting any
other kind of passenger seat device.
In both cases, consult your
RENAULT Dealer as soon as
possible.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
All the warnings given below are
designed to ensure that the airbag
can inflate correctly and to prevent
serious injuries caused by items
which may be dislodged when the
airbag inflates.Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag
•Do not adjust either the steering wheel or the airbag cushion.
• Do not cover the airbag cushion.
• Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the
airbag cushion.
• The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel
from the RENAULT network).
• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightly
bent (see the information on Adjusting your driving position in Section 1),
you will ensure that there is sufficient space for the airbag to inflate
properly and to be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger airbag: location1
• Do not attach or glue any objects (badges, logo, clock, telephone holder,
etc.) onto the front passenger side of the dashboard.
• Nothing should be placed between the dashboard and the passenger (pet,
umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
• The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there
is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep all
parts of the body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard.
• You should reactivate the airbag as soon as you remove the child seat from
the front passenger seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger in
the event of an impact.
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO FIT A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT ON THE FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THE RESTRAINING METHODS ADDITIONAL
TO THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT ARE NOT DEACTIVATED.
(Refer to the information on Deactivation
of front passenger airbags in Section 1).

supplementary methods of
restraint in addition to the seat
belt in the front passenger seat
and the indicator light
will come on to warn you.
Operational faults
It is FORBIDDEN to fit a rear-facing
child seat to the front passenger seat
if the air bag activation/deactivation
system is faulty.
We do not recommend fitting any
other kind of passenger seat device.
