important recommendations for charging your vehiclePlease read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to  a risk of fire, serious injury 
or electric shocks which could result in death.
installation for using a standard charging cord
Have a special wall socket installed by a qualified professional.
installation for using an occasional charging cord
Have  a  qualified  professional  check  that  each  socket  you  intend  to  use  with  the  occasional  charging  cord  complies  with  the 
standards and regulations in force in your country, especially that they have:
–  a Type A residual differential current of 30 mA;
–  a device to protect against overvoltage (16A fuse or circuit breaker for the socket used);
–  protection against overvoltage relating to lightning in exposed areas.
You are recommended to test the residual differential current device every month.
You are recommended to check regularly the domestic power supply as well as the special wall socket. In the event of dete-
rioration (corrosion, browning, etc.), do not use it.
Please read the instructions that come with the occasional charging cord carefully to learn about usage precautions and how 
to use the cord.
charging
Do not do anything to the vehicle during charging (washing, working in \
the engine compartment, etc.).
In the event of the presence of water, signs of corrosion or foreign bodies in the charging cord connector or in the vehicle charg-
ing socket, do not charge the vehicle. Fire hazard.
Do not attempt to touch the cord contacts, the domestic socket or the ve\
hicle charging socket, or introduce objects into them.
Never plug the charging cord into a multiple socket or an extension lead\
.
Do not remove or change the vehicle charging socket or the charging cord\
. Fire hazard.
Do not modify the installation during charging.
In  the  event  of  an  impact,  even  slight,  against  the  charging  socket  or  valve,  have  them  checked  by  an  authorised  dealer  as 
soon as possible.
Take care of the cord: do not tread on it, immerse it in water or pull on it or let anything knock against it. Check regularly that

Dispositifs de retenue complémentaires (X61 - F61 - Renault)
ENG_NU_911-4_F61e_Renault_1
Additional methods of restraint
The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both 
the  air  bags  and  seat  belts  are  integral  parts  of  the  same  protection 
system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts 
are  not  worn,  the  occupants  are  exposed  to  the  risk  of  serious  injury  in 
the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries 
occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always 
possible with air bags.
If  the  vehicle  should  overturn  or  suffer  a  rear  impact,  however  severe,  the  pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside of the 
vehicle, eg. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these s\
ystems.
–  No work or modification  whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air 
bag  system  (air  bags,  pretensioners,  computer,  wiring  harness,  etc.),  except 
by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
–  To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental trig-
gering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel 
may work on the air bag system.
–  As  a  safety  precaution,  have  the  airbag  system  checked  if  your  vehicle  has 
been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
–  When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand 
over this handbook with the vehicle.
–  When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the 
gas generator(s).
ADDitiONAl  methODS OF reStrAiNt
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any 
way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused 
by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.
Operating faults
This  warning  light  1  will  light  up  on  the 
instrument  panel  when  the  ignition  is 
switched on and then go out after a few 
seconds.
If it does not come on when the ignition 
is  switched  on,  or  if  it  comes  on  when 
the  engine  is  running,  there  is  a  fault 
with  the  system  (airbags,  pretension -
ers, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats.
Contact  your  approved  dealer  as  soon 
as  possible.  Your  protection  will  be  re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

to avoid all risk of sparks:
–  Switch off the vehicle ignition.
–  Ensure that any electrical consumers 
(courtesy  lights,  etc.)  are  switched 
off  before  disconnecting  or  recon -
necting the battery.
–  When  charging,  stop  the  charger 
before  connecting  or  disconnecting 
the battery.
–  Do  not  place  metal  objects  on  the 
battery  to  avoid  creating  a  short  cir-
cuit between the terminals.
–  Make  sure  that  you  reconnect  the 
battery terminals after refitting.
connecting a battery charger
the  battery  charger  must  be  com -
patible  with  a  battery  with  nominal 
voltage of 12 volts.
Before disconnecting the battery, check 
that:
–  the ignition is switched off;
–  the  gear  control  is  in  position  P

Avoid  all  risk  of  sparks  which  may 
cause an immediate explosion, and 
charge  the  battery  in  a  well-venti -
lated area. Risk of serious injury.
Handle the battery with care 
as it contains sulphuric acid, 
which  must  not  come  into 
contact with eyes or skin. If 
it does, wash the affected area with 
plenty  of  cold  water.  If  necessary, 
consult a doctor.
Ensure  that  naked  flames,  red  hot 
objects and sparks do not come into 
contact with the battery as there is a 
risk of explosion.
The  engine  may  be  hot  when  car -
rying  out  operations  in  close  prox -
imity. In addition, the engine cooling 
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Disconnect the leads connected to both 
battery  terminals,  starting  with  the 
negative terminal.
Follow  the  instructions  given  by  the 
manufacturer  of  the  battery  charger 
you are using.
Do  not  work  on  the  12  volt 
battery  (charging,  replac -
