LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS
Locking/unlocking the doors
from the outside
This is done using the RENAULT
card; see RENAULT card in Section 1.
In certain cases, the RENAULT card
may not work:
- if the vehicle is located in a zone of high electromagnetic radiation,
- if appliances operating on the same frequency as the card (mobile
phone, etc.) are used;
- drain on the RENAULT Card battery, flat battery, etc.
It is then possible:
- to use the emergency key (depending on vehicle, either built
into the card or separate) for the
front left-hand door;
- to manually lock each of the doors (see the following page);
- to use the door locking and unlocking control inside the vehicle
(refer to the information on Locking
and unlocking from the inside in
Section 1).

hand door (using the tip of the
emergency key) in notch 1.
Move it upwards to remove cover A. Insert key

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)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.

To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use
RENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for your
vehicle and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will
provide a warranty.
CHILD SAFETY (continued)
The right choice
Your vehicle is fitted with the Isofix
system, approved in accordance with
the ECE 14 and ECE 16 regulations.
The safety of your children is also
your responsibility.
To ensure that your child has the
maximum possible protection, we
recommend that you use Isofix seats
approved by the RENAULT
Network.
Refer to the information on the
Isofix system for securing child seats
in Section 1.
Restraint systems for all the
categories are available. These
systems have been developed in
consultation with the manufacturers
and have been tested in RENAULT
vehicles.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer and
ask him to help you install it.
Categories 0 and 0+ (from 0 to
13 kg)
A child’s neck is very susceptible to
injury up to the age of two. It is
preferable to put your child into a
rear-facing enclosing shell seat. This
position enhances safety.
Category 1 (from 9 kg to 18 kg)
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a
child’s pelvis is not fully developed.
Restraints using the vehicle’s seat
belts are not adequate and there is a
risk that the child will sustain
abdominal injuries in the event of a
frontal impact. Use a seat which
restrains the child by means of a
harness.
Place the back of the child seat
firmly against the vehicle seatback.
Adjust the height of the head
restraint or remove it if necessary.

Use of this device on the
front passenger seat is only
permitted if the passenger
airbags have been
deactivated.
Refer to the section on
“Deactivating the front passenger
airbags”.
 Make sure that there isnothing obstructing the
seat mounting mechanism
at the anchorage points
(gravel, rags, toys, etc).
 Always remember to fasten the seat belts on child seats for all
journeys.
CHILD SAFETY (continued)
ISOFIX child seat mounting
system
To find out which seats are fitted
with this system, refer to the
information table on “seats suitable
for fitting child seats” at the
beginning of the information on
“child safety”.
The system comprises:
 two anchoring rings located between the seat base and the
seatback to attach the base of the
child seat;
 one ring located under the seat base to attach the child seat
seatback in the “rear-facing
position”;
 one ring located behind the seatback to fix the child seatback
in the “forward-facing position”
(only in the rear seats);
 a special RENAULT child seat fitted with two locks that hook
onto the two rings and a securing
strap to attach the child seat
seatback.
Only special RENAULT seats are
approved for this vehicle. To
purchase these seats, please
contact your RENAULT Dealer.
