Installation on front passenger’s seat WARNING
• Never install
arear-facing child restraint on
the front passenger’s seat when the front pas-
senger’s air bag is available. Supplemental
front-impact air bags inflate with great force.
Ar ear-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
achild restraint with atop tether
strap on the front seat.
• RENAULT recommends that
achild restraint
be installed on the rear seat (Double Cab
models). However, if you must install achild
restraint on the front passenger’s seat, move
the passenger’s seat to the rearmost posi-
tion. •
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 is avail-
able. SSS0300AZ

RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section
contains important information concerning the driv-
er’s and passenger’s supplemental front-impact air
bags, supplemental driver’s knee air bag (where fit-
ted), supplemental side-impact air bags (where fit-
ted), supplemental curtain side-impact air bags
(where fitted) and pre-tensioner seat belts (where
fitted).
Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the head and chest area of the driver and/or front
passenger in certain frontal collisions. The supple-
mental front-impact air bag is designed to inflate on
the front where the vehicle is impacted.
Supplemental driver’s knee air bag
system (where fitted)
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the knee area of the driver in certain frontal colli-
sions. The supplemental driver’s knee air bag is de-
signed to inflate on the front where the vehicle is
impacted.SSS0513Z SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS) (where fitted)

WARNING
• Never let children ride unrestrained or extend
their hands or face out of the window. Do not
attempt to hold them in your lap or arms.
Some examples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the illustrations. SSS0006Z

•
Children may be severely injured or killed
when the air bags inflate if they are not prop-
erly restrained.
• Never install
arear-facing child restraint sys-
tem in the front seat. An inflating supplemen-
tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure
or kill your child. (See “Child restraints” ear-
lier in this section.) WARNING
• The supplemental side-impact air bags
(where fitted) and supplemental curtain side-
impact air bags (where fitted) ordinarily will
not inflate in the event of afront impact, rear
impact, rollover, or lower severity side colli-
sion. Always wear the seat belts to help re-
duce the risk or severity of injury in accidents. SSS0059AZ

•
The seat belts and the supplemental side-im-
pact 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 in-
flate with great force. If you and your passen-
gers are unrestrained, leaning forward, 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 located 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 dangerous 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
supplemental curtain side-impact air bags in-
flate, you may be seriously injured. Be espe-
cially careful with children, who should always
be properly restrained.
• Do not use seat covers on the front seatbacks.
They may interfere with the supplemental
side-impact air bag inflations. •
Do not attach the key with heavy objects, hard
objects or objects with sharp edges. This may
cause injury if the supplemental knee air bag
inflates.
Pre-tensioner seat belt system
(where fitted)
The pre-tensioner seat belt system may activate with the supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions. Working with the front seat belt retrac-
tors and anchors, it helps tighten the seat belt the
instant the vehicle becomes involved in certain types
of collisions, helping to restrain front seat occupants.
(See “Seat belts” earlier in this section.)
Air bag warning labels
➀ SRS air bag warning label: The warning label
is located on the surface of the front pas-
senger sun visor.
➁ SRS front passenger air bag warning label:
The warning label is located on the outer side
of the instrument panel (passenger side). ➂
SRS side air bag warning label: The warning
label is located on the side of the passenger
side centre pillar. Tags are also sewn into the
front seat covers.
SRS front-impact passenger air bag:
The warning label ➀is located on the sun visor.
“NEVER use arearward facing child restraint on
as eat protected by an ACTIVE AIR BAG in front
of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD
can occur.”
The BACK SEAT is the SAFEST place for children
aged 12 and under. Always use seat belts and
child restraints. For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, you must always wear
your safety belt. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bag. Do not place any objects
over the air bag or between the air bag and your-
self. If the air bag warning light stays on or is
flashing when the ignition is placed in the ON
position, go to an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. Air bags can only be removed or dis-
posed of by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop.
Be sure to read the “AIR BAG LABEL” description
at the end of this manual.
In vehicles equipped with afront-impact passenger
air bag system, use arear-facing child restraint sys-
tem only on the rear seats. NP A1155
1-34 Safety —seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

When installing
achild restraint system in your ve-
hicle, always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation. For additional
information, see “Child restraints” earlier in this sec-
tion.
SRS air bag warning light
The supplemental air bag warning light, displaying in the instrument panel, monitors the circuits
for the air bag systems, pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem (where fitted) and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
SRS air bag warning light illuminates for about 7
seconds and then turns off. This indicates that the
SRS air bag systems are operational.
Have the air bag systems and/or pre-tensioner seat
belt systems serviced at the nearest approved dealer
or qualified workshop if any of the following condi-
tions occur:
• The SRS air bag warning light remains on after
approximately
7seconds. •
The SRS air bag warning light flashes intermit-
tently.
• The SRS air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag and/or pre-
tensioner seat belt system may not operate prop-
erly. They must be checked and repaired. Contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop immedi-
ately. SP A1097Z
Safety—seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-35

•
Tampering with the supplemental air bag sys-
tems may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel by placing
materials over the steering wheel pad and
above, around or on the instrument panel or
by installing additional trim materials around
the supplemental air bag systems.
• Work on and around the supplemental air bag
systems should be done by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring
should not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorised electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on the
supplemental air bag systems.
• The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low for easy identification.
• Never install
arear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch. In afrontal
collision, supplemental front-impact air bags
inflate with great force. An inflating supple-
mental front-impact air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child.
When the air bags inflate, afairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate afire. Care
should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irri-
tation and choking. Those with ahistory of abreath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly. Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is
located at the centre of the steering wheel. The pas-
senger’s supplemental front-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the instrument panel above the glove box.
The supplemental front-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of
ahigher severity fron-
tal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental front-impact air
bag system operation. WARNING
Never install
arear-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat without first deacti-
vating the passenger air bag with the front pas-
senger air bag switch (where fitted), see “Front
passenger air bag switch (where fitted)” later in
this section. In afrontal collision, supplemental
front-impact air bags inflate with great force. An
inflating supplemental front-impact air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child. Front passenger air bag status light (where fit-
ted):
