KEYS / RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL
1Remote control coded ignition
key, key for doors and fuel filler
cap.The plip remote control1locks and
unlocks the doors.

information on the radio frequency
remote control batteries.)
If there is a child (or
animal) in the car, never
leave it unattended with
the key in the ignition.
With the key in the ignition it

interior light remains in the
“continuous lighting” position
(see information on interior lights
in section 3), the hazard warning
lights will not flash.
- The hazard warning lights flash
onceto indicate that the doors
have beenunlocked.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
Force limiter
Above a certain severity of impact,
this mechanism is used to limit the
force of the belt against the body so
that it is at an acceptable level.
Warning relating to the
service life of airbags
and pretensioners
Pyrotechnic systems for
airbags and pretensioners have a
limited service life: refer to the
servicing booklet for your
vehicle for the replacement
frequency.
Driver and passenger airbags
These are fitted to both the driver
and the front passenger seats.
An “Airbag” marking on the
steering wheel and dashboard and a
label in the lower section of the
windscreen inform you of the
presence of additional means of
restraint (airbags, pretensioners,
etc.) in the passenger compartment.
Each airbag system consists of:
- an airbag and its two gas
generators (for the small or
large-volume bag depending on
the severity of the frontal impact)
mounted on the steering wheel for
the driver and in the dashboard for
the passenger;
- a computer for both systems,
which includes the impact
detector and the monitor
controlling the electrical trigger
system for each of the gas
generators;
- A single warning light on
the instrument panel.The air bag system uses the
principles of pyrotechnics. This
explains why, when the air bag
inflates, it will generate heat,
produce smoke (this does not mean
that a fire is about to start) and
make a noise upon detonation. In a
situation where an air bag is
required, it must inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor,
superficial grazing to the skin.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
Operation
The system waits a few seconds
after the ignition has been switched
on before being operational.
If a severefrontalimpact occurs,
the airbag(s) inflate(s) rapidly,
cushioning the impact of the
driver's head and chest against the
steering wheel and the front
passenger's head against the
dashboard. The airbag(s) then
deflate(s) immediately so that the
passengers are not impeded in any
way when they get out of the
vehicle.
The passenger airbag system is
linked to a front passenger airbag
deactivation warning light2on the
instrument panel. This warning
light is linked to the passenger
airbag deactivation system through
the ignition key.
It lights up to indicate that the
passenger airbag will not be inflated
in the event of an impact (refer to
the section on Deactivating the front
passenger airbag).
Operational incidents
Warning light1lights up on the
instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then goes out after
a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the
ignition is turned on, there is a fault
in the system.
If it lights up while you are driving,
stop at once and switch off the
ignition.If it is still lit up after the ignition
has been switched on again, there is
a fault in the system. In this case, a
rear-facing child seat MUST NOT be
fitted to the front passenger seat.
We do not recommend fitting any
other kind of passenger seat device.
In both cases, consult your
RENAULT Dealer as soon as
possible.
