Incorrectly adjusted seat
belts may cause injuries in
the event of an accident.
Even pregnant women
should wear a seat belt. In this
case, ensure that the lap belt is
not exerting too much pressure
on the abdomen without allowing
any slack.
SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your vehicle. You must
also comply with the legislation of
the particular country you are in.
Before driving off:
- firstly ensure that your driving
position is correctly adjusted,
- then adjust your seat belt to
provide maximum protection.Adjusting your driving position
 Sit well back in your seat (having
removed your coat or jacket). This
is essential to ensure your back is
positioned correctly.
 Adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to fully
depress the clutch pedal. The
seatback should be adjusted so
that your arms are slightly bent
when you hold the steering wheel.
 Adjust the position of your head restraint. For safety reasons, the
top of your head should be in line
with the top of the head restraint.
 Adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select
the seat position which offers you
the best possible view.
 Adjust the position of the steering wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The thorax belt 1should be as close
to the base of your neck as possible
but not on it.
The lap belt 2should be worn flat
over your thighs and against your
pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close to your body as possible, i.e.
avoid wearing heavy clothing or
keeping bulky objects under the belts.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)
Load 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.
Driver and passenger airbags
Fitted to the driver and passenger
side.
The word “Airbag” on the steering
wheel and the dashboard (airbag
zone A) and an airbag marking in the
lower section of the windscreen
indicate the presence of this
equipment.
Each airbag system consists of:
- an airbag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
- an intelligent computer for both systems, which includes an impact
sensor and a monitor controlling
the electrical trigger system for the
gas generator;
- a single
åwarning light on the
instrument panel;
- an advanced frontal sensor completes this system. The airbag system uses the
principles of pyrotechnics. This
explains why, when the airbag
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 airbag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor,
superficial grazing to the skin or
other problems.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)
Operation
This system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontalimpact, the
airbags inflate rapidly, cushioning
the impact of the driver’s head and
chest against the steering wheel and
the front passenger against the
dashboard. The airbags then deflate
immediately so that the passengers
are not in any way hindered from
leaving the vehicle.
Special feature of the front
airbag
Depending on the severity of the
impact, this has two deployment
volumes and incorporates an
internal ventilation system to
prevent burns caused by the
escaping gases:
- “low volume” airbag: this is the first level of deployment;
- “large volume” airbag: the airbag seams tear so that a greater volume
of gas is released into the airbag
(for the most severe impacts).
Operating faults
Warning light 1will light up on the
instrument panel when the ignition
is switched on and then will go out
after a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the
ignition is switched on, or comes on
when the engine is running, there is
a fault in the system.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer as
soon as possible. Your protection
will be reduced until this fault is
rectified.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag 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 airbag inflates.Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag
 Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
 Do not cover the steering wheel boss.
 Do not attach any objects (badge, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
 The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel\
from the RENAULT Network).
 When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your \
arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow \
sufficient space for the airbag to deploy correctly and
be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger airbag
 Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder\
, etc.) to the dashboard in the proximity of the airbag housing.
 Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umb\
rella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
 The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as t\
here is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained. In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the da\
shboard (knees, hands, head etc.)
 The passenger airbags should be reactivated as soon as the child seat is\
removed, to ensure the protection of the front passenger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD/BABY SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER \
SEAT UNLESS THE
ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, ARE DEACTIVATED\
. (Refer to the information
on “deactivating the front passenger airbags” in Section 1.)
Warnings concerning the anti-submarining airbag
When triggered, the anti-submarining airbag could project objects left o\
n the seat cushion with some force.

DANGER
Since front passenger airbag
triggering and the position
of a rear-facing child seat
are incompatible, it is not
permitted to install such a seat in
this position unless the vehicle is
fitted with an airbag deactivation
device. The child may suffer very
serious injuries if the airbag is
deployed.
The label (on the dashboard) and
the markings (on the sun visor)
remind you of these instructions.
CHILD SAFETY (continued)
Deactivating the front passenger
airbags
(if fitted )
To fit a rear-facing child seat on the
front passenger seat, it is essentialto
deactivate the front passenger seat
additional restraint systems (frontal
and side airbags and lap
pretensioner) and the anti-
submarining airbag (for the three-
door version). To deactivate the airbags:
when the
vehicle is stationary, push and turn
lock 1to the OFF position.
With the ignition on, it is essential
to check that warning light 2,
AIRBAG OFF , is illuminated on the
instrument panel or on centre
display 3 and, depending on the
vehicle, check that the message
“passenger airbag OFF” is
displayed.
This light remains continuously lit
to let you know that you can fit a
child seat.

The passenger airbag
must only be deactivated
or activated when the
vehicle is stationary.
If the lock is moved when the
vehicle is moving, warning lights
åand come on: the
passenger airbag is deactivated.
Switch the ignition off then on
again to reset the airbag in
accordance with the lock.
CHILD SAFETY (continued)
Activating the front passenger
airbags
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. Operating faults
It is forbidden to fit a rear-facing
child seat to the front passenger seat
if the airbag activation/deactivation
system is faulty.
Allowing any other passenger to sit
in that seat is not recommended.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer as
soon as possible.
To reactivate the airbags:
push and
turn lock 1to the ON position.
After switching on the ignition
again, check that the
ãwarning
light is off.
The means of restraint which are
additional to the front passenger
seat belt and anti-slide airbag (for
the three-door version) are
activated.
