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.

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.
