 Following an accident, itis necessary to have the
entire restraint system
checked by a qualified
technician.
 No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the
system (pretensioners, airbags,
computers, wiring) and the
system components must not be
reused on any other vehicle, even
if identical.
 To avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Renault
Network personnel may work on
the pretensioner and airbag
system.
 Testing of the electrical trigger system may only be carried out
by a specially trained technician
using suitable equipment.
 When the vehicle is scrapped, contact your RENAULT Dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
airbag gas generators.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
These are:
■ buckle pretensioners,
■ lap pretensioners (five-door
version only),
■ thorax load limiters,
■ driver and passenger front
airbags,
■ anti-submarining airbags (three-
door version only).
These systems are designed to act
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
- seat belt locking;
- the buckle pretensioner (which engages to correct seat belt slack);
- the lap belt pretensioner or the anti-submarining airbag to keep
the occupant in their seat, the “low
volume” frontal airbag and load
limiters;
- the “large volume” frontal airbag.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the
occupant more securely against the
seat, thus increasing the seat belt’s
efficiency.
With the ignition switched on, if
there is a severe frontal impact and
depending on the force of the
impact, the system may engage the:
- piston 1which instantly retracts
the seat belt;
- piston 2on the front seats (for the
five door version),
or
- the anti-submarining airbag (for the three door version).

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 REAR SEAT BELTS
Depending on the vehicle, they
comprise:
■ seat belt pretensioners built into
the inertia reels,
■ load limiter.
These systems are designed to act
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
There are two possibilities,
depending on the force of the
impact:
- protection is provided by the belt only;
- the pretensioner is triggered to rectify seat belt slack.
Rear seat belt pretensioners
This system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
If the vehicle is subjected to a severe
frontal impact, a device retracts the
seat belt, pulling the seat belt tight
against the body and thus improving
its effectiveness.
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.

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.
