1-28Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
WARNING:
.The supplemental side-impact air bags and
supplemental curtain side-impact air bags
ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a
front impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower
severity side collision. Always wear the seat
belts to help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in accidents.
. The seat belts and the supplemental side-
impact air bags and supplemental curtain
side-impact air bags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in the
seat. The supplemental side-impact air bags
and supplemental curtain side-impact air
bags inflate with great force. If you and your
passengers are unrestrained, leaning for-
ward, sitting sideways, or out of position in
any way, you and your passengers are at
greater risk of injury or death in an accident.
. Do not allow anyone to place their hands,
legs, or face near the supplemental side-
impact air bags and supplemental curtain
side-impact air bags on the sides of the
seatback of the front seats or near the side
roof rails. Do not allow anyone sitting in the
front seats or rear outboard seats to extend
their hands out of the windows or lean
against the doors. Some examples of dan-
gerous riding positions are shown in the
illustrations.
. When sitting in the rear seats, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seats. If the
supplemental side-impact air bags and sup-
plemental curtain side-impact air bags in-
flate, you may be seriously injured. Be
especially careful with children, who should always be properly restrained.
. Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with the supple-
mental side-impact air bag inflations.
Pre-tensioner seat belt system (if e\fuipped\b
The pre-tensioner seat belt system may activate with
the supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions.
Working with the seat belt retractor and anchor, it
helps tighten the seat belt the instant the vehicle
becomes involved in certain types of collisions, helping
to restrain front seat occupants. (See “Pre-tensioner
seat belt system” (P.1-31\b .\b
Air bag warning label (if e\fuipped\b
SSS1029
SRS air bag:
The warning label
*1is located on the surface of the
passenger’s sun visor. SRS front-impact passenger air bag:
The warning label
*2(if e\fuipped\b is located on the
side of the passenger’s side instrument panel.
This label warns you not to fit a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger seat as such a
restraint system used in this position could cause
serious injury to the infant in case of air bag
deployment during a collision.
In vehicles e\fuipped with a front-impact passenger air
bag system, use a rear-facing child restraint system
only on the rear seats. “Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by
an airbag in front of it!"
When installing a child restraint system in your vehicle,
always follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s
instructions for installation.
For additional information, see “Child restraints” (P.1-
13\b .

Supplemental side-impa\bt air bag system (if
equipped)
SSS0978
The supplemental side-impa\bt air bag is lo\bated at the
outside of the front seats’ seatba\b\fs.
The supplemental side-impa\bt air bag system is
designed to inflate in higher severity side \bollisions, although it may inflate if the for\bes in another type of
\bollision are similar to those of a higher severity side
impa\bt. It may not inflate in \bertain side \bollisions.
Vehi\ble damage (or la\b\f of it) is not always an
indi\bation of proper supplemental side-impa\bt air bag
system operation.
Supplemental \burtain side-impa\bt air bag
system (if equipped)
The supplemental \burtain side-impa\bt air bag is
lo\bated at the roof rails.
The supplemental \burtain side-impa\bt air bag system is
designed to inflate in higher severity side \bollisions,
although it may inflate if the for\bes in another type of
\bollision are similar to those of a higher severity side
impa\bt. It may not inflate in \bertain side \bollisions.
Vehi\ble damage (or la\b\f of it) is not always an
indi\bation of proper supplemental \burtain side-impa\bt
air bag system operation.
PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT SYSTEM (if
equipped)
WARNING:
.
The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be re-
used after activation. It must be replaced
together with the retractor and buckle as a
unit.
. If the vehicle becomes involved in a collision
but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be
sure to have the pre-tensioner system
checked and, if necessary, replaced by a
RENAULT dealer.
. No unauthorized changes should be made
to any components or wiring of the pre-
tensioner seat belt system. This is to prevent
accidental activation of the pre-tensioner seat belt or damage to the pre-tensioner
seat belt system.
. Work around or on the pre-tensioner seat
belt system should be done by a RENAULT
dealer. The SRS wiring should not be
modified or disconnected. Unauthorized
electrical test equipment and probing de-
vices should not be used on the pre-
tensioner seat belt system.
. If you need to dispose of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system, or scrap the vehicle,
contact a RENAULT dealer. Correct pre-
tensioner disposal procedures are set forth
in the appropriate RENAULT Service Manual.
Incorrect disposal procedures could cause
personal injury.
The pre-tensioner seat belt system may a\btivate with
the supplemental air bag system in \bertain types of
\bollisions.
Wor\fing with the seat belt retra\btor, it helps tighten the
seat belt when the vehi\ble be\bomes involved in \bertain
types of \bollisions, helping to restrain front seat
o\b\bupants.
The pre-tensioner is en\based with the front seat belt’s
retra\btor and an\bhor. These seat belts are used the
same as \bonventional seat belts.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt a\btivates, a fairly loud
noise may be heard, followed by the release of smo\fe.
This smo\fe is not harmful and does not indi\bate a fire.
Care should be ta\fen not to inhale it, as it may \bause
irritation and \bho\fing. Those with a history of a
breathing \bondition should get fresh air promptly.
