METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
These are:
OFront seat belt pretensioners.
OForce limiters.
ODriver's and passenger airbags.
These airbags are adaptable in
that they offer a small or large
volume depending on the
severity of the frontal impact.
These systems are provided to act
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
Depending on the force of the
impact the system may engage:
- seat belt locking;
- the buckle pretensioner (which
triggers to take up the slack in the
seat belt);
- the lap belt pretensioner to keep
the occupant in their seat, the low
volume front airbag and the load
limiters;
- the large volume front airbag.
OSide airbagsare provided to
activate in the event of severe
side impacts.
Front seat belt pretensioners
With the ignition switched on, if
there is a severe frontal impact and
depending on the force of the
impact, the system may engage:
- the piston1which immediately
retracts the seat belt.
The pretensioners pull the seat
belt against the body, holding the
occupant more securely against the
seat, thus increasing the seat belt's
efficiency.• Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
• No operation whatsoever
is permitted on any part of the
system (pretensioners, airbags,
computers, wiring) and the
system components must not be
re-used on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
• To avoid premature triggering of
the system which may cause
injury, only qualified RENAULT
Network personnel may work on
the pretensioner and airbag
system.
• Testing of the electric trigger
system may only be carried out
by a specially trained technician
using special equipment.
• When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact your RENAULT Dealer
for disposal of the pretensioner
and airbag gas generators.

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

CHILD SAFETY
•No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their
mountings) fitted originally.
• The fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system should be followed carefully.
• Avoid wearing bulky clothing and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.
• The seat belt on the vehicle must be taut so that the child’s seat is held in position securely. Check the tension
regularly.
• Never wear the belt under the arm or behind the back.
• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child’s stature.
• Never allow your child to stand or kneel on the seat when the vehicle is moving.
• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when he or she is asleep.
• Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, it may
become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.
• Following a serious accident, have an inspection made of the seat belts and restraint systems fitted at the time.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if he or she is in a child seat.
• Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with these).
• Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.
• Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.
