If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again. If your seat belt becomes completely
jammed:
–
pull the belt slowly but firmly so that
just over 3 cm unwinds;
– then allow the seat belt to rewind au-
tomatically;
– unwind it again;
– if there is still a problem, contact an
approved Dealer.

Force limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in -
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the
steering wheel and the dashboard (air
bag zone A ) and a label on the lower
part of the windscreen or on the sun
visor.
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
– a shared computer, which includes
the impact detector and the moni -
tor controlling the electrical trigger
system for each of the gas genera -
tors;
– depending on the vehicle, an addi -
tional side impact detector;
– a single
å warning light on the
instrument panel.
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener -
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
In a situation where an air bag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other
problems.

Operation
The air bag system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
air bag(s) deploy(s) rapidly, cushion -
ing the impact of the driver’s head and
chest against the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that passengers are not
impeded in any way when they get out
of the vehicle.
Operating faults
This warning light 2 å will light up
on the instrument panel when the igni -
tion is switched on and then go out after
a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition is
switched on, or comes on continuously
when the engine is running, there is a
fault in the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is deployed and also to pre-
vent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged\
when the air bag deploys.
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).
– When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting
your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In
general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knee\
s, hands, head, etc.).
– The systems in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure
the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

side air bags
These air bags may be fitted to the front
seats and are deployed at the sides of
the seats (door side) to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
A marking on the seat informs you of
the presence of this device.
Curtain air bags
These air bags may be fitted along the
top of each side of the vehicle and are
triggered along the front and rear side
windows to protect passengers in the
event of a side impact.
A marking on the interior trim above the
side windows informs you of the pres -
ence of this device.
Warnings concerning the side air bag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find
out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those
designed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle)
may affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.
– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the
door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly
or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal
fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
– The area between the rear bench seatback and the trim is the area of air bag
operation: no objects must be placed here.

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. The air bag and the seat belt are integral parts of
the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the oc-
cupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor su-
perficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and air bags are not always triggered.
Impacts to the underside of the vehicle from pavements, holes, stones et\
c. can all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the driver or passenger air bag system (air bags,
pretensioners, electronic unit, wiring harness, etc., except by qualifie\
d RENAULT network personnel);
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,
only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the air bag system;
– As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or
broken into;
– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle;
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is deployed and also to pre-
vent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged\
when the air bag deploys.
