CHILD SAFETY(continued)
The right choice
The safety of your children is also
your responsibility.
To give your children maximum
protection, we recommend that you
use seats obtained from a Renault
Dealer.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
Isofix system, it is preferable to use
an Isofix seat. (Refer to the
information in section 1 on the
Isofix system of child seats.)
Restraint systems for all categories
are available. These systems have
been developed in consultation
with the manufacturers and have
been tested in Renault vehicles.
Take the advice of your Renault
Dealer and ask him to help you to
install it.
Category 0 and 0+
A child’s neck is very susceptible to
injury up to the age of two. In a
front-facing seat there is a risk that a
child will sustain neck injuries in
the event of a frontal collision.
Renault therefore recommends a
rear-facing seat with a harness that
gives all-round protection (figure 1).
Category 1
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a
child’s pelvis is not fully developed.
Restraints using three-point belts
are not adequate and there is a risk
that the child will sustain
abdominal injuries in the event of a
frontal collision. It is therefore
advisable to use rear-facing seats
(figure 1), bucket type seats (figure
2) or seats with harnesses.
To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use
RENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for your
car and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will provide a
warranty.

CHILD SAFETY(continued)
Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) and
category 3 (22 to 36 kg)
To correctly secure the pelvis of a
child of up to 12 years old, smaller
than 1.50 m and weighing less than
36 kg, it is preferable to use child
seats that can be combined with
three-point seat belts. This is a
booster seat (figure 3) with belt
guides to ensure that the belt will be
worn flat over the thighs of the
child.A booster seat with a
height-adjustable seatback and a
belt guide are recommended as this
will allow the belt to be worn as
close to the base of the neck as
possible but not on it.
Place the head rest in the top
position to allow you to press the
seat back of the child seat firmly
against the vehicle seatback.
If a booster seat without a seatback
is used, the vehicle's headrest will
have to be adjusted to suit the
child's stature; the upper edge of the
headrest must be at the same height
as the top of the child's head and
should never be lower than in line
with the child's eyes.
The standard classifies the
restraints in five categories:Category 0 : from 0 to 10 kg (0 to 22 lbs)
Category0+:from0to13kg(0to28lbs)
Category 1 : from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs)
Category 2 : from 15 to 25 kg (33 to 55 lbs)
Category 3 : from 22 to 36 kg (48 to 80 lbs)
We recommend that you remove
the headrest and put it in the
luggage compartment, to facilitate
fitting certain types of child seat.

Isofix - mounting system for
child seats
This is a new procedure for
installing a child seat. This system
equips the front passenger seat and
the rear side seats of the vehicle.
It consists of the following
components:
• Two anchoring rings1located
between the seat and the
seatback.
• A special RENAULT child seat
fitted with two catches3which
hook onto the two rings;
• Make sure that there is
nothing obstructing the
seat mounting mechanism
at the anchorage points
(gravel, rags, toys, etc.).
• Always remember to fasten the
seat belt on child seats for all
journeys.Only RENAULT child seats are
approved for this vehicle.
To purchase these seats, please
contact your RENAULT Dealer.
They are fitted with locks which
can be secured to the Isofix
attachments in your vehicle.
They can also be secured in other
vehicles using a three-point seat
belt.
Use of this device on the
front passenger seat is only
authorized if the passenger
airbags have been
deactivated.
Refer to the information in the
section on deactivating the front
passenger airbag.

CHILD SAFETY(continued)
CHILD SAFETY
•No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their
mountings) fitted originally.
• The fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system should be followed carefully.
• Avoid wearing bulky clothing and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.
• The seat belt on the vehicle must be taut so that the child’s seat is held in position securely. Check the tension
regularly.
• Never wear the belt under the arm or behind the back.
• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child’s stature.
• Never allow your child to stand or kneel on the seat when the vehicle is moving.
• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when he or she is asleep.
• Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, it may
become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.
• Following a serious accident, have an inspection made of the seat belts and restraint systems fitted at the time.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if he or she is in a child seat.
• Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with these).
• Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.
• Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.

check that they are not preventing the seatback locking mechanism from operating correctly.
• When moving the bench seat, check that the seat belt housings1are correctly positioned before
folding down the seat base.
Once the bench seat is in place again, ensure the seat belts are correctly repositioned.

TRANSPORTING OBJECTS IN THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
Always place objects carried in the
luggage compartment so that their
largest dimension is against:
- the back of the rear bench seat, for
normal loading.
- the folded down seat, for
maximum loading.
Always put the heaviest
items directly onto the
floor. When the vehicle is
fitted with them, use the
lashing points located on the floor
at the rear to secure transported
items. Luggage should be loaded in
such a way that no item will be
thrown forward and strike the
occupants if the driver has to brake
suddenly. Fasten the rear seat belts,
even if the seats are not occupied.
