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 below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the
risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags and seat belts are integral parts
of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If the seat belt is not worn,
it exposes the occupants to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of
minor, superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always
possible with airbags.
The airbag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if the
vehicle turns over.
Airbags for driver and passenger
• No work or modification whatsoevermay be performed on the entire airbag system for the driver and passenger
(computer, wiring, etc.) except by qualified RENAULT network personnel.
• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified RENAULT network personnel may work on the airbag system.
• As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, is stolen or
broken into.
• When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.
• When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

FUEL TANK(continued)
Filling with fuel
Petrol version
Useunleaded fuel only.
Using leaded fuel will damage the
depollution equipment and may
lead to a loss of warranty.
To avoid the tank being filled with
leaded fuel, the filler neck has a
restrictor with a valvewhich only
allows an unleaded petrol nozzle to
be used(at the petrol pump).
- Insert the nozzle to open the valve,
asfarasitwillgo.
- Hold the nozzle in this position
while the tank is filled and then
release it.
Filling with fuel(continued)
Petrol and diesel versions
To allow room for expansion in the
fuel tank, do not top up more than
twice after the pump nozzle has cut
out automatically.
Any operation or
modification on the fuel
supply system (computers,
wiring, fuel circuit, in-
jector, protective covers...) is
strictly forbidden due to the
safety risks it may cause (except
for qualified staff from the
Renault network.Persistent fuel odour
Your vehicle has a pressurised fuel
supply system. If a persistent fuel
odour should occur, please:
• stop the vehicle if traffic
conditions allow and switch the
ignition off;
• switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask all passengers to
leave the vehicle to keep them
away from the traffic;
• do not intervene or restart before
the vehicle has been checked by
qualified Renault network staff.
