METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
All the warnings given below are
designed to ensure that the airbag
can inflate correctly and to prevent
serious injuries caused by items
which may be dislodged when the
airbag inflates.Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag
•Do not adjust either the steering wheel or the airbag cushion.
• Do not cover the airbag cushion.
• Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the
airbag cushion.
• The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel
from the RENAULT network).
• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightly
bent (see the information on Adjusting your driving position in Section 1),
you will ensure that there is sufficient space for the airbag to inflate
properly and to be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger airbag: location1
• Do not attach or glue any objects (badges, logo, clock, telephone holder,
etc.) onto the front passenger side of the dashboard.
• Nothing should be placed between the dashboard and the passenger (pet,
umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
• The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there
is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep all
parts of the body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard.
• You should reactivate the airbag as soon as you remove the child seat from
the front passenger seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger in
the event of an impact.
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO FIT A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT ON THE FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THE RESTRAINING METHODS ADDITIONAL
TO THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT ARE NOT DEACTIVATED.
(Refer to the information on Deactivation
of front passenger airbags in Section 1).

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;

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
Accessory Outlets.

ACCESSORIES
Using mobile phones and
CB equipment.
Mobile phone equipment
with integrated aerials may
cause interference to the original
electronic systems fitted to the
vehicle: we recommend that you
only use equipment with an
exterior aerial.
Furthermore, we remind you of
the need to conform to the
legislation in force concerning the
use of such equipment.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.
After-sales installation of electric
or electronic accessories
•Any work on the electric 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.
