WARNING:
.Do not drive and/or ride in the vehicle with
the seatback reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be properly
against the body. In an accident, you and
your passengers could be thrown into the
shoulder belt and receive neck or other
serious injuries. You and your passengers
could also slide under the lap belt and
receive serious injuries.
. For the most effective protection while the
vehicle is in motion, the seatback should be
upright. Always sit well back in the seat and
adjust the seat belt properly. (See “Seat
belts” (P.1-7) .)
CAUTION:
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not
to contact any moving parts to avoid possible
injuries and/or damages.
FRONT SEATS
WARNING:
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving so
that full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.

SEAT BELTS
&RQGLWLRQ

1-8Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
WARNING:
.Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the
bony structure of the body, and should be
worn low across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable;
wearing the lap section of the belt across
the abdominal area must be avoided. Ser-
ious injury may occur if a seat belt is not
worn properly.
. Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible around the hips, not the waist. A
lap belt worn too high could increase the
risk of internal injuries in an accident.
. Do not allow more than one person to use
the same seat belt. Each belt assembly must
only be used by one occupant; it is danger-
ous to put a belt around a child being carried
on the occupant’s lap.
. Never carry more people in the vehicle than
there are seat belts.
. Never wear seat belts inside out. Belts
should not be worn with straps twisted.
Doing so may reduce their effectiveness.
. Seatbelts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to provide
the protection for which they have been
designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
. Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.
Children should be properly restrained in the
rear seat and, if appropriate, in a child
restraint system. .
Do not run the belt behind your back or
under your arm. Always route the shoulder
belt over your shoulder and across your
chest. The belt should be away from your
face and neck, but not falling off your
shoulder. Serious injury may occur if a seat
belt is not worn properly.
. No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either prevent
the seat belt adjusting devices from operat-
ing to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted to remove
slack.
. Care should be taken to avoid contamina-
tion of the webbing with polishes, oils and
chemicals, and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out using
mild soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes frayed, con-
taminated or damaged.
. It is essential to replace the entire assembly
after it has been worn in a severe impact
even if damage to the assembly is not
obvious.
. All seat belt assemblies including retractors
and attaching hardware should be inspected
after any collision by a RENAULT dealer. It is
essential to replace the entire assembly
after it has been worn in a severe impact
even if damage to the assembly is not
obvious. RENAULT recommends that all seat
belt assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly. .
Seat belt assemblies not in use during a
collision should also be inspected and, when
necessary, replaced if either damage or
improper operation is noted.
CHILD SAFETY
WARNING:
.Infants and children need special protection.
The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them
properly. The shoulder belt may come too
close to the face or neck. The lap belt may
not fit over their small hipbones. In an
accident, an improperly fitted seat belt could
cause serious or fatal injury.
. Always use an appropriate child restraint
system.
Child\fen need ad\blts to help p\fotect them. They need
to be p\fope\fly \fest\fained. The p\fope\f \fest\faint depends
on the child’s size.
Infants and small child\fen
SSS0099
RENAULT \fecommends that infants and small child\fen
be seated in a child \fest\faint system. Yo\b sho\bld
choose a child \fest\faint system that fits yo\b\f vehicle
