ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINTAll the warnings below are given so that airbag activation is not obstru\
cted in any way 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 t\
he airbags and seat belts are integral parts
of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear a seat \
belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the
occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an a\
ccident. It may also increase the risk of
minor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, althou\
gh such minor injuries are always
possible with airbags.
If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however\
severe, the pretensioners and airbags are not
always triggered. These systems may, however, be triggered by impacts to the vehicle underbody, e.g. from kerbs,
potholes, stones, etc.
 Any operation on or modification to any part of the Airbag system (Ai\
rbags, pretensioners, electronic unit, wiring, etc.) is strictly prohibited (except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel).
 To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidenta\
l 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 h\
as been involved in an accident, 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).

CHILD SAFETY
 No modifications may be made to the original component parts of the rest\
raint system (belts and seats and theirmountings).
 Carefully follow the instructions for fitting provided by the manufactur\
er of the restraint system.
 Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any o\
bjects between the child and the restraint system.
 The seat belt in the vehicle must be tight enough to hold the child’s seat in position securely. Check the tension regularly.
 Never wear the belt under your arm or behind your back.
 The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child’s size.
 Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the vehic\
le is moving.
 Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when they are asleep.
 Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occ\
upied. Otherwise, if an accident were to occur, it may become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.
 Following a serious accident, check the seat belts or the ISOFIX seat mo\
unting and replace the child seat.
 Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if they are in a res\
training device.
 Lock the rear doors (if your vehicle is equipped with the function).
 Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where th\
ere is traffic.

DANGER
Since front passenger airbag
triggering and the position
of a rear-facing child seat
are incompatible, it is not
permitted to install such a seat in
this position unless the vehicle is
fitted with an airbag deactivation
device. The child may suffer very
serious injuries if the airbag is
deployed.
The label (on the dashboard) and
the markings (on the sun visor)
remind you of these instructions.
CHILD SAFETY (continued)
Deactivating the front passenger
airbags
(if fitted )
To fit a rear-facing child seat on the
front passenger seat, it is essentialto
deactivate the front passenger seat
additional restraint systems (frontal
and side airbags and lap
pretensioner) and the anti-
submarining airbag (for the three-
door version). To deactivate the airbags:
when the
vehicle is stationary, push and turn
lock 1to the OFF position.
With the ignition on, it is essential
to check that warning light 2,
AIRBAG OFF , is illuminated on the
instrument panel or on centre
display 3 and, depending on the
vehicle, check that the message
“passenger airbag OFF” is
displayed.
This light remains continuously lit
to let you know that you can fit a
child seat.
