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

are open or not closed securely.
Electric power steering warning light
\bhen the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
electric power steering warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the electric power steering warning
light turns off. This indicates the electric power
steering system is operational.
If the electric power steering warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the electric
power steering system is not functioning properly and
may need servicing. Have the electric power steering
system checked by a RENAULT dealer.
\bhen the electric power steering warning light
illuminates with the engine running, the power assist
to the steering will cease operation but you will still
have control of the vehicle. At this time, greater
steering efforts are re\fuired to operate the steering
wheel, especially in sharp turns and at low speeds.
(See “Electric power steering system” (P.5-35) .)
Engine oil pressure warning light
\bhen the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
engine oil pressure warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the engine oil pressure warning
light turns off. This indicates that the oil pressure
sensors in the engine are operational.
If the engine oil pressure warning light illuminates or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate that
the engine oil pressure is low.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Stop the
engine immediately and call a RENAULT dealer.
CAUTION:
.Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light illuminated could
cause serious damage to the engine.
. The engine oil pressure warning light is not

high temperature warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates that the high temperature
sensor in the engine coolant system is operational.
CAUTION:
If the high temperature warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the
engine temperature is extremely high.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. If the vehicle is overheated, continuing vehicle
operation may seriously damage the engine.
(See “If your vehicle overheats” (P.6-10) for the
immediate action required.)
Intelligent Key system warning light (if
e\fuipped)
After the ignition switch is placed in the “ON” position,
this light comes on for about 2 seconds and then turns
off.
This light illuminates or blinks as follows:
. The light blinks in yellow when the door is closed
with the Intelligent Key left outside the vehicle and
the ignition switch in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
Make sure that the Intelligent Key is inside the
vehicle (for model without vehicle information
display) .
. The light blinks in green when the Intelligent Key
battery is running out of power. Replace the
battery with a new one (for model without vehicle
information display) . See “Battery” (P.8-23) .
. The light illuminates in yellow when it warns of a
malfunction with the electrical steering lock
system or the Intelligent Key system.
If the warning light illuminates in yellow while the
engine is stopped, it may be impossible to free the
steering lock or to start the engine. If the light comes
on while the engine is running, you can drive the
vehicle. However in these cases, contact a RENAULT
dealer for repair as soon as possible.

WARNING:
.Never use wheel nuts which are not provided
with your vehicle. Incorrect wheel nuts or
improperly tightened wheel nuts may cause
the wheel to become loose or come off. This
could cause an accident.
. Never use oil or grease on the wheel studs
or nuts. This may cause the wheel nuts to
become loose.
. The T-type spare tire is designed for emer-
gency use only.
1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface \fetween the wheel and hu\f.
2. Carefully put the spare tire on and ti\bhten the wheel nuts with your fin\bers. Check that all the
wheel nuts contact the wheel surface horizontally.
3. Ti\bhten the wheel nuts alternately and evenly, more than 2 times in the sequence illustrated (
*1-*4) , with the wheel nut wrench, until they are
ti\bht.
4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire touches the \bround.
5. Ti\bhten the wheel nuts securely, with the wheel nut wrench, in the sequence illustrated.
6. Lower the vehicle completely.
