(computer, wiring, etc.)
may be dangerous. It must be
carried out by trained Renault

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)
All the warnings below are given so that, if the air bag is activated, it is not obstructed in any way and also to prevent the
risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.
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 the seat belt at all times. If the seat belt is not
worn, it exposes the occupants 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.
The air bag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if the
vehicle turns over.
Air bags for driver and passenger
• No work or modification whatsoevermay be performed on the entire air bag system for the driver and passenger
(computer, wiring, etc.) except by qualified Renault network personnel.
• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Renault network personnel may work on the air bag system.
• As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, 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 Renault Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

FUEL TANK(continued)
Fuel grade
Use the fuel which corresponds to
the grade defined by the standards
of the country you are in.
Refer to “Engine specifications”.
Any operation on or
modification to the fuel
supply system (computers,
wiring, fuel circuit,
injector, protective covers...) is
strictly forbidden due to the
safety risks it may entail (except
for qualified staff from the
Renault network).
Filling with fuel
Only useunleadedfuel.
Using leaded petrol will damage the
anti-pollution system and may lead
to a loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not
filled with leaded petrol, the fuel
tank filler neck contains a restrictor
fitted with a valve whichonly
allows the nozzle for unleaded
petrol to be used(at the petrol
pump).
- Insert the nozzleas far as it will go
so as to open the valve.
- Start to fill the tank with fuel and
keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling
operation.
No more than two filling
operations may be made after the
fuel feed has switched off
automatically for the first time
because there must be sufficient
space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
Persistent fuel odour
Your vehicle has a pressurised fuel
supply circuit. If a persistent fuel
odour occurs you should:
•stop the vehicle if traffic
conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;
• switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear of
the traffic;
• do not operate on or restart the
vehicle before it has been
inspected by qualified staff from
the Renault network.
