METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
These are:
OFrontseatbeltpretensioners
OForce limiter
OAir bags for driver and front
passenger
Thesesystemsareprovidedtoact
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
There are three possibilities,
depending on the force of the
impact:
- protection is provided by the belt
only;
- the pretensioner is triggered to
rectify belt position and play;
- if the air bag and force limiter are
triggered, they provide additional
protection in the event of the most
severe impact.
OSide air bags
are provided to activate in the
event of a severe side impact.
Frontseatbeltpretensioners
This system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
If the vehicle is subject to a
severefrontalimpact, piston1
immediately retracts the seat belt
buckle pulling the seat belt tight
against the body and thereby
improving its efficiency.•Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
• No work whatsoever may be
performed on the pretensioner
system (computer, wiring, etc.).
• To avoid incorrect triggering of
the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Renault
Network personnel may work on
the pretensioner system.
• Testing of the electric trigger
system may only be carried
out by a specially trained
technician using special
equipment.
• When scrapping your vehicle,
contact your Renault Dealer for
disposal of the gas generator.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS(continued)
Airbagfordriverandfront
passenger
(continued)
Each air bag system consists of:
- An air bag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger.
- A computer for both systems
which includes the impact
detector and a monitor controlling
the electrical trigger system for the
gas generator.
- One single tell-tale light1on the
instrument panel.Operation
The system is only operational after
the ignition has been turned on
(ignition key in positionM“ignition
on”).
If a severefrontalimpact occurs, the
air bag(s) inflate(s) in approximately
30 millisecond(s), cushioning the
impact of the driver’s head against
the steering wheel and the front
passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers
are not impeded in any way when
they get out of the vehicle.
Theairbagsystemusesthe
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.Operating fault
Tell-tale light1illuminates on the
instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then extinguishes
after a few seconds. If it does not
illuminate when the ignition is
turned on or if it flashes, there is a
fault in the system.
Consult your Renault Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be
reduced until this problem is
rectified.
