THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTS
Fastening seat belts WARNING
The seatback should not be in
areclined position
any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are
most effective when the passenger sits well back
and straight up in the seat.
1. Adjust the seat. (See “Manual seat adjustment
(where fitted)” earlier in this section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear
and feel the latch engage.
• The retractor is designed to lock during a
sudden stop or on impact.
Aslow pulling
motion permits the seat belt to move, and
allows you some freedom of movement in
the seat. •
If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its
fully retracted position, firmly pull the belt
and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt
out of the retractor.
3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug on the hips as shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retrac- tor to take up extra slack. Be sure the shoulder
belt is routed over your shoulder and is snug
across your chest. Shoulder belt height adjustment (for
front seats) WARNING
• The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position best for you. Failure
to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an accident.
• The shoulder belt should rest on the middle
of the shoulder. It must not rest against the
neck.
• Be sure that the seat belt is not twisted in any
way.
• Be sure that the shoulder belt anchor is se-
cured by trying to move the shoulder belt an-
chor up and down after adjustment.
To adjust, pull on the release button ➀and move
the shoulder belt anchor to the proper position ➁,
so that the belt passes over the centre of the shoul- SSS0292Z

WARNING
If the 4WD mode indicator (see “Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) warning light (4WD model)” later in this
section) is OFF or the ATP warning light is ON,
this indicates that the automatic transmission P
(Park) position will not function and could result
in the vehicle moving unexpectedly, causing seri-
ous personal injury or property damage. Always
set the parking brake. Brake warning light
WARNING
• If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive
the vehicle until the brake system has been
checked by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop.
• Even if you judge it to be safe, have your ve-
hicle towed because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
• Depressing the brake pedal without the en-
gine running and/or with
alow brake fluid
level could increase the stopping distance and
require greater pedal travel distance and ef-
fort.
The brake warning light indicates the parking brake
system operation, alow brake fluid level of the brake
system and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) mal-
function. Parking brake warning indicator:
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the brake warning light illuminates. When the
engine is started and the parking brake is released,
the brake warning light turns off.
If the parking brake is not fully released, the brake
warning light remains on. Be sure that the brake
warning light has turned off before driving. (See
“Parking brake” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.)
Low brake fluid warning indicator:
If the brake warning light illuminates while the en-
gine is running, or while driving, and the parking
brake is released, it may indicate the brake fluid
level is low.
When the brake warning light illuminates while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the brake fluid level. If
the brake fluid level is at the minimum mark, add
brake fluid as necessary. (See “Brake fluid” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.)
If the brake fluid level is sufficient, have the brake
system checked by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop promptly.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator (where fitted):
When the parking brake is released and the brake
fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake warning light
and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
light illuminate, it may indicate the ABS is not func-
tioning properly. Have the brake system checked, and if necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop promptly. (See “Brake system”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.) Charge warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
charge warning light illuminates. After starting the
engine, the charge warning light turns off. This indi-
cates that the charging system is operational.

The Remote Control Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Re-
mote Control Key system transmits weak radio
waves. Environmental conditions may interfere with
the operation of the Remote Control Key system
under the following operating conditions.
• When operating near
alocation where strong
radio waves are transmitted, such as aTVtower,
power station and broadcasting station.
• When in possession of wireless equipment, such
as am obile telephone, transceiver, and CB ra-
dio.
• When the Remote Control Key is in contact with
or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote control is
used nearby.
• When the Remote Control Key is placed near an
electric appliance such as
apersonal computer.
In such cases, correct the operating conditions be-
fore using the Remote Control Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depending on
the operating conditions, the battery’s life is approxi-
mately 2years. If the battery is discharged, replace
it with anew one.
For information regarding replacement of abattery,
see “Remote Control Key battery replacement” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
Since the Remote Control Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near equipment which transmits strong radio waves, such as signals
from
aTVa nd personal computer, the battery life
may become shorter.
Because the steering wheel is locked electrically,
unlocking the steering wheel with the ignition switch
in the LOCK position is impossible when the vehicle
battery is completely discharged. Pay special atten-
tion that the vehicle battery is not completely dis-
charged.
As many as 4Remote Control Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. For information
about the purchase and use of additional Remote
Control Keys, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
CAUTION
• Do not allow the Remote Control Key, which
contains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could
affect the system function.
• Do not drop the Remote Control Key.
• Do not strike the Remote Control Key sharply
against another object.
• Do not change or modify the Remote Control
Key.
• Wetting may damage the Remote Control Key.
If the Remote Control Key gets wet, immedi-
ately wipe until it is completely dry.
• If the outside temperature is below −10°C
(14°F), the battery of the Remote Control Key
may not function properly. •
Do not place the Remote Control Key for an
extended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 60°C (140°F).
• Do not attach the Remote Control Key to a
key holder that contains
amagnet.
• Do not place the Remote Control Key near
equipment that produces
amagnetic field,
such as aTV, audio equipment and personal
computers.
If an Remote Control Key is lost or stolen, RENAULT
recommends erasing the ID code of that Remote
Control Key from the vehicle. This may prevent the
unauthorised use of the Remote Control Key to op-
erate the vehicle. For information regarding the eras-
ing procedure, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
The Remote Control Key function can be disabled.
For information about disabling the Remote Control
Key function, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
