jectiles and cause injury if a supplemental
air bag inflates.
. Immediately after inflation, several supple-
mental air bag system components will be
hot. Do not touch them: you may severely
burn yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should be made
to any components or wiring of the supple-
mental air bag systems. This is to prevent
accidental inflation of the supplemental air
bags or damage to the supplemental air bag
systems.
. Do not make unauthorized changes to your
vehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-
tem or front end structure. This could affect
proper operation of the supplemental air
bag systems.
. Tampering with the supplemental air bag
systems may result in serious personal
injury. Tampering includes changes to the
steering wheel by placing materials over the
steering wheel pad and above, and by
installing additional trim materials around
the supplemental air bag systems.
. Work around and on the supplemental air
bag systems 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 supple-
mental air bag systems.
. The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and/or orange for easy identification.
When the air bags inflate, a fairl\f loud noise \ba\f be
heard, followed b\f the release of s\boke. This s\boke is
not har\bful and does not indicate a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it \ba\f cause irritation and
choking. Those with a histor\f of a breathing condition
should get fresh air pro\bptl\f.
Supple\bental front-i\bpact air bag s\fste\b
The driver’s supple\bental front-i\bpact air bag is
located at the center of the steering wheel. The
passenger’s supple\bental front-i\bpact air bag (if
equipped) is located at the instru\bent panel above
the glove box.
The supple\bental front-i\bpact air bag s\fste\b is
designed to inflate in higher severit\f frontal collisions,
although it \ba\f inflate if the forces in another t\fpe of
collision are si\bilar to those of a higher severit\f frontal
i\bpact. It \ba\f not inflate in certain frontal collisions.
Vehicle da\bage (or lack of it) is not alwa\fs an
indication of proper supple\bental front-i\bpact air
bag s\fste\b operation.

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.

5-4Starting and driving
.Keep the back door closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gas could be drawn into
the passenger compartment. If you must
drive with the back door open, follow these
precautions:
— Open all the windows.
— Turn the air recirculation mode off and
set the fan speed control to the highest
level to circulate the air.
. If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions must pass to a trailer through the seal
of the back door or the body, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
. If a special body or other equipment is
added for recreational or other usage, follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation to pre-
vent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may
also generate carbon monoxide.)
. The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever:
— Your vehicle is raised while being ser-
viced.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident involving damage to the exhaust system, under-
body, or rear of the vehicle.THREE-WAY CATALYST (gaso\fine engine
\bode\f)
WARNING:
. The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are
very hot. Keep people, animals and flam-
mable materials away from the exhaust
system components.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
wastepaper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.
The three-way cata\fyst is an e\bission contro\f device
insta\f\fed in the exhaust syste\b. Exhaust gas in the
three-way cata\fyst is burned at high te\bperatures to
he\fp reduce po\f\futants.
CAUTION:
. Do not use leaded gasoline. (See “Recom-
mended fuel/lubricants and capacities” (P.9-
2) .) Deposits from leaded gasoline seriously
reduce the ability of the three-way catalyst
to help reduce exhaust pollutants and/or
damage the three-way catalyst.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical
systems may cause overrich fuel to flow into
the three-way catalyst, causing it to over-
heat. Do not keep driving if the engine
misfires, or if noticeable loss of performance
or other unusual operating conditions are
detected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly by a RENAULT dealer.
. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the three-way
catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warming it up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the
engine.
