1-14Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
.If the seat belt in the position where a child
restraint system is installed requires a lock-
ing clip and if it is not used, injuries could
result from a child restraint system tipping
over during normal vehicle braking or cor-
nering.
. After attaching a child restraint system, test
it before you place the child in it. Tilt it from
side to side. Try to tug it forward and check if
it is held securely in place. The child restraint
system should not move more than 25 mm (1
in) . If the restraint is not secure, tighten the
belt as necessary, or install the restraint in
another seat and test it again.
. Check the child restraint system in your
vehicle to be sure that it is compatible with
the vehicle’s seat belt system.
. If a child restraint system is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured in a
collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.
. Improper use of a child restraint system can
increase the risk or severity of injury for both
the child and other occupants in the vehicle.
. Always use an appropriate child restraint
system. An improperly installed child re-
straint system could lead to serious injury
or death in an accident.
. When the child restraint system is not in use,
keep it secured with the ISOFIX child
restraint system (if equipped) or a seat belt
to prevent it from being thrown around in
case of a sudden stop or accident.
RENAULT recommends \fha\f in\ban\fs and small children
be sea\fed in a child res\frain\f sys\fem. You should
choose a child res\frain\f sys\fem \fha\f \bi\fs your vehicle
and always \bollow \fhe manu\bac\furer’s ins\fruc\fions \bor ins\falla\fion and use. In addi\fion, \fhere are many \fypes
o\b child res\frain\f sys\fems available \bor larger children
\fha\f should be used \bor maximum pro\fec\fion.
CAUTION:
Remember that a child restraint system left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the
seating surface and buckles before placing your
child in a child restraint system.

WARNING:
.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so
could damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not be
properly installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
. The child restraint top tether strap may be
damaged by contact with the tonneau board
(if equipped) or items in the luggage area.
Remove the tonneau board from the vehicle
or secure it and any luggage. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the top tether strap is damaged.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
ISOFIX
WARNING:
.Attach ISOFIX child restraints only at the
specified locations. For the ISOFIX lower
anchor locations, see “ISOFIX child restraint
system” (P.1-17) . If a child restraint is not
secured properly, your child could be ser-
iously injured or killed in an accident.
. Do not install child restraints that require the
use of a top tether strap to seating positions
that do not have a top tether anchor.
. Do not secure a child restraint in the center
rear seating position using the ISOFIX lower
anchors. The child restraint will not be
secured properly.
. Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your
fingers into the lower anchor area and
feeling to make sure there are no obstruc-
tions over the ISOFIX anchors, such as seat
belt webbing or seat cushion material. The
child restraint will not be secured properly if
the ISOFIX anchors are obstructed.
. Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstance are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so
could damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not be
properly installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.

SSS0300A
WARNING:
.Never install a rear-facing child restraint on
the front passenger’s seat when the front
passenger’s air bag is equipped. Supple-
mental front-impact air bags inflate with
great force. A rear-facing child restraint
could be struck by the supplemental front-
impact air bags in an accident and could
seriously injure or kill your child.
. Never install a child restraint system with a
top tether strap on the front seat.
. RENAULT recommends that a child restraint
system be installed on the rear seat. How-
ever, if you must install a front-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger’s
seat, move the passenger’ s seat to the
rearmost position.
. Child restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore must
not be used on the front passenger’s seat
when the front passenger’ s air bag isequipped.
