PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT
SYSTEM (where fitted) WARNING
• The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reused
after activation. It must be replaced together
with the retractor and buckle as aunit.
• If the vehicle becomes involved in
acollision
but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sure
to have the pre-tensioner system checked
and, if necessary, replaced by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop.
• No unauthorised 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 sys-
tem. •
Work around or on the pre-tensioner seat belt
system should be done by an approved dealer
or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring should
not be modified or disconnected. Unautho-
rised electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt system.
• If you need to dispose of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system, or scrap the vehicle, contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop.
Correct pre-tensioner disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate maintenance
service manual. Incorrect disposal proce-
dures could cause personal injury.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the front seat
belt’s retractor and anchor. These seat belts are
used the same as conventional seat belts.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates, afairly
loud noise may be heard, followed by the release of
smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does not indi-
cate afire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as
it may cause irritation and choking. Those with ahis-
tory of abreathing condition should get fresh air
promptly. SSS1092Z

GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film
from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to
become coated with afilm after the vehicle is parked
in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and asoft cloth will
easily remove this film.
UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in the winter, it is
necessary to clean the vehicle’s underbody regu-
larly in order to prevent dirt and salt from building up
and causing the acceleration of corrosion on the
underbody and suspension.
Before the winter and again in the spring, the under- seal must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
WHEELS
• Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to
maintain their appearance.
• Clean the inner side of the wheels when the
wheel is changed or the underside of the vehicle
is washed.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the
wheels.
• Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corro-
sion. This may cause loss of pressure or damage
the tyre bead.
• RENAULT recommends that the road wheels be
waxed to protect against road salt in areas where
it is used during winter. ALUMINIUM ALLOY WHEELS
Wash the wheels regularly with
asponge damp-
ened in amild soap solution, especially during win-
ter in areas where road salt is used. The salt residue
from road salt could discolour the wheels if it is not
washed off regularly.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid staining or
discolouring the wheels:
• Do not use
acleaner that uses strong acid or
alkali contents to clean the wheels.
• Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels
when they are hot. The wheel temperature
should be the same as ambient temperature.
• Rinse the wheel to completely remove the
cleaner within 15 minutes after the cleaner is
applied.
CHROME PARTS
Clean all chrome parts regularly with anon abrasive
chrome polish to maintain the finish. Occasionally remove loose dust from the interior
trim, plastic parts and seats using
avacuum cleaner
or soft bristled brush. Wipe the vinyl and leather sur-
faces with aclean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap
solution, then wipe clean with adry, soft cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order to
maintain the appearance of the leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read the manu-
facturer’s recommendations. Some fabric protec-
tors contain chemicals that may stain or bleach the
seat material.
Use asoft cloth dampened only with water to clean
the meter and gauge lens covers.
CAUTION
• Never use benzene, thinner or any similar ma-
terial.
• Small dirt particles can be abrasive and dam-
aging to leather surfaces and should be re-
moved promptly. Do not use saddle soap, car
waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning fluids,
solvents, detergents or ammonia-based
cleaners as they damage the natural leather
finish.
• Never use fabric protectors unless recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
• Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meter
or gauge lens covers. It may damage the lens
covers.
CLEANING INTERIOR
Appearance and care 7-3
Page 274 of 340

AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use asolvent that could affect
the vehicle interior. If you use an air freshener, take
the following precautions:
• Hanging-type air fresheners can cause perma-
nent discoloration when they contact vehicle in-
terior surfaces. Place the air freshener in
aloca-
tion that allows it to hang free and not contact an
interior surface.
• Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on the
vents. These products can cause immediate
damage and discoloration when spilled on inte-
rior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions before using air fresheners.
FLOOR MATS
The use of floor mats (where fitted) can extend the
life of your vehicle carpet and make it easier to clean
the interior. Regardless of what mats are used, be
sure they are fitted for your vehicle and are properly
positioned in the foot well to prevent interference
with pedal operation. Mats should be maintained
with regular cleaning and replaced if they become
excessively worn. Floor mat positioning aid
This vehicle includes floor mat brackets to act as a
floor mat positioning aid.
Position the mat by placing the floor mat bracket
hook through the floor mat grommet hole while cen-
tering the mat in the foot area.
Periodically check that the mats are properly posi-
tioned.
GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film
from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to
become coated with afilm after the vehicle is parked
in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and asoft cloth will
easily remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the windows, do not
use sharp-edged tools, abrasive cleaners or chlo- rine-based disinfectant cleaners. They could
damage the electrical conductors, such as radio
antenna elements or rear window defogger ele-
ments.
SEAT BELTS WARNING
• Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in the
retractor.
• Never use bleach, dye or chemical solvents to
clean the seat belts, since these materials
may severely weaken the seat belt webbing.
The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping them with
as ponge dampened in amild soap solution.
Allow the belts to dry completely in the shade before
using them. (See “Seat belts” in the “1. Safety —
seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system”
section.) JV A0022XZ
