METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
All the warnings given below are
designed to ensure that the air bag
can inflate correctly and to prevent
serious injuries caused by items
which may be dislodged when the
air bag inflates.Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
•Do not modify either the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
• Do not cover the steering wheel boss.
• Do not attach any objects (pin, logo, clock, telephone support, etc.) to the
steering wheel boss.
• The steering wheelmust notbe removed (except by qualified personnel
within the Renault network).
• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightly
bent (see information on “Adjusting your driving position” in section 1), it
will ensure that there is sufficient space for the air bag to inflate properly
and to be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag: location1
•Do not attach or affix with adhesive any objects (pin, logo, clock, telephone
support, etc.) on the dashboard near where the air bag is located:
• Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (animal,
umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
• The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard as there is a
risk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep all parts
of the body (knees, hands, heads, etc.) well away from the dashboard.
A REAR-FACING CHILD/BABY SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED
TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED

off the wheel arches and under the
body to get rid of:
- spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
-bird droppings, which contain
chemicals whichrapidly
discolour paintwork and may
even cause the paint to peel off;
The vehiclemustbe washed
immediately to remove these
marks since they cannot be
removed by polishing;
- salt from the wheel arches and
under the body, after the vehicle
has been driven in areas where
the roads are chemically treated;
- mud forming damp patches in
the wheel arches and under the
body.• Keep well away from the vehicle
in front when driving on a freshly
laid surface to avoid damage to
your paintwork.
• Have patches where the paint has
been damaged repaired quickly to
avoid corrosion spreading.
• If your vehicle is covered by the
Renault anti-corrosion warranty,
remember to visit the bodyshop
periodically. Refer to your vehicle’s
Warranty and Servicing booklet.
• Respect local regulations relating
to washing your vehicle (e.g. do
not wash your vehicle on a public
highway).• Before using a revolving brush
type car wash, check the mounting
of exterior equipment, additional
headlights and rear view mirrors.
Secure the wiper blades and radio
aerial with adhesive tape.
Remove the car phone aerial if the
vehicle has one.
• If mechanical components such
as hinges have to be cleaned, their
protection must be reapplied by
spraying on products approved
by Renault's Technical Department.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle which
may be obtained from Renault

ACCESSORIES
Using mobile phones and
CB equipment
Mobile phones and CB
equipment with integrated
aerials may cause interference to
the original electronic systems
fitted to the vehicle: it is advisable
only to use equipment with an
external aerial.
Also, for your own safety, we
would advise you always to take
account of traffic conditions and
not to use this type of equipment
when you are driving.After-sales installation of
electric or electronic
accessories
•Anyworkontheelectric
circuit of the vehicle must be
carried out by Renault network
engineers: if the system is
connected incorrectly, it may
result in damage being caused to
the electrical installation and/or
the units connected to it.
• If the vehicle is retrofitted with
any electrical equipment, make
sure that the unit is correctly
protected by a fuse. Ask for
information on the rating and
position of this fuse.
After-sales installation of
non-electrical accessories (roof
bars, towing attachments, etc.)
Accessories approved by Renault
are based on a strict specification
and are regularly tested. We would
recommend that you use approved
accessories (particularly where
these affect safety) because they are
particularly reliable and
appropriate for your vehicle.
