To avoid hindering the
efficient operation of the
seat belts, you are advised
to keep the seat belt on your
shoulder.
Make sure that the seatback is
locked in place correctly.
No objects should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as
these objects could slide under the
pedal during braking manoeuvres,
thus obstructing its use.
For safety reasons, make
these adjustments only
when the vehicle is
stationary.

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.

Under no circumstances
should babies or children
be allowed to travel sitting
on the knees of another
passenger in the vehicle.
If a frontal impact occurs at 30 mph
(50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kg
will be transformed into a missile
equivalent to one ton: you will find
it impossible to hold the child, even
if you yourself are wearing a belt.
It is particularly dangerous to put
the belt round your child when he
or she is sitting on your lap. Never
use the belt for more than one
person at the same time.
CHILD SAFETY
Remember that a collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same as falling a
distance of 10 metres. Expressed in
other terms, transporting a child
without a restraint is the equivalent
of allowing him or her to play on a
fourth-floor balcony without
railings.In all countries there are regulations
governing the use of restraints for
children and babies.
In Europe, children under 10 years
of age
(1)must be seated in an
approved safety device which is
suitable for the weight and size of
the child.
The driver is responsible for
ensuring that this equipment is used
correctly.
Child restraints for which type
approval was obtained after January
1992 offer a level of safety much
greater than for restraints with type
approval before that date.
It is therefore advisable to select a
child restraint that complies with
European regulation ECE 44.
Restraints that comply with this
legislation must be marked with an
orange label bearing the letter E
followed by a number (which
represents the country where it is
type approved) and the year in
which the type approval was
granted.
Refer to the Child safety equipment
booklet available from the Renault
Network to choose the seat suited to
your child and recommended for
your vehicle. There are some passenger seats on
which the installation of child seats
is forbidden.
To find the authorised seats and
types of child seats that can be
installed in each of the authorised
seats, refer to the table in the
following pages.
Before installing a child seat in the
front seat
(if installation is permitted)
If fitted to the passenger seat, carry
out the following adjustments:
- move the passenger seat as far back as possible,
- set the seatback to its fully upright position,
- raise the seat base as far as possible,
- raise the headrest to its highest setting,
- move the seat belt height control to the low position.
(1) You must always comply with the
laws of the country in which you are
travelling. They may be different to
the guidelines in this handbook.

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.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)
A booster seat with a height-
adjustable seatback and a belt guide
are recommended as this will allow
the belt to be worn as close to the
base of the neck as possible but not
on it.
Place the back of the child seat
firmly against the vehicle seatback.
Adjust the height of the head
restraint or remove it if necessary.
If a booster seat without a seatback
is used, the vehicle’s headrest will
have to be adjusted to suit the
child’s stature; the upper edge of the
headrest must be at the same height
as the top of the child’s head and
should never be lower than in line
with the child’s eyes.
Category 2 (15 kg to 25 kg) and
category 3 (22 kg to 36 kg)
To correctly secure the child’s pelvis
under 10 years, a height under 1.36
m and a weight of less than 36 kg.
Use a booster seat with belt guides
to ensure that the three-point belt
lies flat over the child’s thighs.The standard classifies the child
restraints in five categories:
Category 0 : 0 to 10 kg
Category 0+ : 0 to 13 kg
Category 1 : 9 to 18 kg
Category 2 : 15 to 25 kg
Category 3 : 22 to 36 kg
