SEAT BELTSThe following information applies to both the vehicle's front and rear seat belts.

No adjustments may be made to the original component parts of the restraint system (belts, seats and theirmountings).For special cases (e.g. fitting child seats) contact your RENAULT Dealer.

Do not use devices which allow any play in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn tooloosely risks causing injuries in the event of an accident.

Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.

Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat beltaround them.

The belt should never be twisted.

Seat belts should be replaced after a serious accident. Likewise, replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signsof wear.

When refitting the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be usedproperly.

If necessary, readjust the position and tightness of the belt.

ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTSThese are: buckle pretensioners, driver's seat lap belt

pretensioner, force limiters, driver and passenger front

airbags.

These systems are designed to actindependently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontalimpact.Depending on the severity of theimpact, the system can trigger:- seat belt locking,- the buckle pretensioner (which

engages to correct seat belt play);- the lap pretensioner (for the

driver's seat), the low volumefront airbag and the force limiter;

- the high volume front airbag.

PretensionersWith the ignition switched on, ifthere is a severe frontal impact anddepending on the force of theimpact, the system may engage:- piston 1 which instantly retracts

the seat belt;- piston 2 on the drivers seat.The pretensioners hold the seat beltagainst the body and thus increaseits efficiency.

Have the entire restraintsystem checked followingan accident.

No operation whatsoever ispermitted on any part of thesystem (pretensioners, airbags,computers, wiring) and thesystem components must not bereused on any other vehicle,even if identical.

To avoid premature triggering ofthe system which may causeinjury, only qualified RenaultNetwork personnel may work onthe pretensioner and airbagsystem.

Testing of the electric triggersystem may only be carried outby a specially trained technicianusing special equipment.

When the vehicle is scrapped,contact your RENAULT Dealerfor disposal of the pretensionerand airbag gas generators.

1.29

ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)Force limiterAbove a certain severity of impact,this mechanism is used to limit theforce of the belt against the body sothat it is at an acceptable level.

Driver and passenger airbagsAn airbag may be provided for boththe driver and the front passenger.An Airbag marking on thesteering wheel and dashboard and alabel in the lower section of thewindscreen inform you of thepresence of additional means ofrestraint (airbags, pretensioners,etc.) in the passenger compartment.Each airbag system consists of:- an airbag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for thedriver and in the dashboard for thefront passenger;

- a computer for both systems,which includes the impact sensorand a monitor controlling theelectrical trigger system for the gasgenerator;

- a single indicator light on

the instrument panel. The airbag system uses theprinciples of pyrotechnics. Thisexplains why, when the airbaginflates, it will generate heat,produce smoke (this does not meanthat a fire is about to start) andmake a noise upon detonation. In asituation where an airbag isrequired, it will inflateimmediately and this may causesome minor, superficial grazing tothe skin or other problems.

ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)

OperationThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.If a severe frontal impact occurs,the airbag(s) inflate(s) rapidly,cushioning the impact of thedriver's head and chest against thesteering wheel and the frontpassenger's head against thedashboard. The airbag then deflatesimmediately so that the passengersare not impeded in any way whenthey get out of the vehicle.

Special feature of the frontairbagThere are two volumes of operationdepending on the severity of theimpact:- low volume airbag, this is the

first degree of operation;- high volume airbag. The airbags

seams tear so that a greater volumeof air is released into the bag (forthe most severe impacts).

Operating faultsWarning light 1 will light up on theinstrument panel when the ignitionis turned on and then will go outafter a few seconds.If it does not light up when theignition is switched on, or comes onwhen the engine is running, there isa fault in the system.Consult your RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible. Your protectionwill be reduced until this fault isrectified.

ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)

All of the warnings below are givenso that the airbag is not obstructedin any way when it is inflated andalso to prevent the risk of seriousinjuries caused by items which maybe dislodged when the airbaginflates.

Warnings concerning the drivers airbag Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel cushion. Do not cover the steering wheel cushion.

Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to thesteering wheel cushion.

The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnelfrom the RENAULT Network).

Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving. If you sit with yourarms slightly bent (see Adjusting your driving position in Section 1), itwill ensure that there is sufficient space for the airbag to inflate properlyand to be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag: Do not attach or glue any objects (pins, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.)

to the dashboard in the proximity of the airbag housing A. Nothing should be placed between the dashboard and the passenger (pet,

umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.). The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there

is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep allparts of your body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard.

You should reactivate the airbags as soon as you remove the child seat fromthe front passenger seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger inthe event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONTPASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS

TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT ARE DEACTIVATED.(Refer to the information

on Deactivation of passenger airbags in Section 1).

ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS TO THE REAR SEAT BELTSThese are: seat belt pretensioners

integrated into the inertia reels. force limiter.

These systems are designed to actindependently or together when thevehicle suffers a frontal impact.There are two scenarios, dependingon the force of the impact:- protection is provided by the belt

only;- the pretensioner is triggered to

rectify seat belt play.

Rear seat belt pretensionersThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.If the vehicle is subject to a severefrontal impact, a pistonimmediately retracts the seat beltbuckle, pulling the seat belt tightagainst the body and therebyimproving its efficiency.

Have the entire restraintsystem checked followingan accident.

No operation whatsoever ispermitted on any part of thesystem (pretensioners, airbags,computers, wiring) and thesystem components must not bereused on any other vehicle, evenif identical.

LATERAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT

Side airbags AThese are airbags fitted to each frontseat and, depending on the vehicle,the rear seats which are triggered onthe side of the seat (door side) toprotect the passengers from severeside impacts.

The slits on theseatbacks (door side)correspond to the airbagdeployment area: Never

place any objects here.

Curtain airbags BThese are airbags fitted along thesides of the vehicle in the ceilingwhich trigger along the front andrear side windows to protect thepassengers in case of a severe sideimpact.

A marking on the windscreeninforms you of the presence ofadditional means of restraint(airbags, pretensioners, etc.) inthe passenger compartment.

Warnings concerning thelateral airbag Fitting seat covers: seats

equipped with an airbagrequire covers specificallydesigned for your vehicle.Contact your RENAULT Dealerto find out if these covers may bepurchased from RENAULToutlets. The use of any coversother than those designed foryour vehicle (and includingthose designed for anothervehicle) may affect the operationof the airbags and reduce yourprotection.

Do not place any accessories,objects or even pets between theseatback, the door and theinternal fittings. Do not cover theseatback with any items such asclothes or accessories. This mayprevent the airbag fromoperating correctly or causeinjury when the airbag isdeployed.

No work or modificationwhatsoever may be carried outon the internal fittings, except byqualified RENAULT Networkpersonnel.

NU706_3_G1-FRA.qxd 7/07/05 11:18 Page 1.34


1.34

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINTAll of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to preventthe risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags and seat belts are integral partsof the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn,the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk ofminor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always

possible with airbags.If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are notalways triggered. Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, from pavements, potholes, stones etc. can all trigger thesesystems.

No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the airbag system (airbag, pretensioners,electronic unit, wiring, etc.), except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.

To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may causeinjury, only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the airbag system.

As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, stolen orbroken 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).

CHILD SAFETYIn all countries there are regulationsgoverning the use of restraints forchildren and babies.In Europe children under 10 yearsof age(1) must be seated in anapproved safety device which issuitable for the weight and size ofthe child.The driver is responsible forensuring that this equipment isused correctly.Child restraints for which typeapproval was obtained after January1992 offer a level of safety muchgreater than for restraints with typeapproval before that date.It is therefore advisable to select achild restraint that complies withEuropean regulation ECE 44.Restraints that comply with thislegislation must be marked with anorange label bearing the letter Efollowed by a number (whichrepresents the country where it istype approved) and the year inwhich the type approval wasgranted.Refer to the Child safetyequipment booklet available fromthe RENAULT Network to choosethe seat suited to your child andrecommended for your vehicle.

Remember that a collision at30 mph (50 km/h) is the same asfalling a distance of 10 metres.Expressed in other terms,transporting a child without arestraint is the equivalent ofallowing him or her to play on afourth-floor balcony withoutrailings.

Under no circumstancesshould babies or childrenbe allowed to travel sittingon the knees of another

passenger in the vehicle.If a frontal impact occurs at 30 mph(50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kg(66 lbs) will be transformed into amissile equivalent to one tonne:you will find it impossible to holdthe child, even if you yourself arewearing a belt.It is particularly dangerous to putthe belt round your child when heor she is sitting on your lap. Neveruse the belt for more than oneperson at the same time.

Some passenger seats are notsuitable for the installation of childseats.To find out the authorised seats andtypes of child seats that can beinstalled in each of the authorisedseats, refer to the tables on thefollowing pages.

Before installing a child seat in thefront seat (if installation ispermitted)If fitted to the passenger seat, carryout 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.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)The right choiceThe safety of your children is alsoyour responsibility.Your vehicle is fitted with an Isofixsystem approved in accordancewith ECE14 and ECE16 regulations.To ensure that your child has themaximum possible protection, werecommend that you use Isofix seatsapproved by the RENAULTNetwork. Refer to the informationon the Isofix child seat mountingsystem in Section 1.Restraint systems for all thecategories are available. Thesesystems have been developed inconsultation with themanufacturers and have been testedin RENAULT vehicles.Contact your RENAULT Dealer andask him to help you install it.

Categories 0 and 0+ (0 to 13 kg)A child's neck is very susceptible toinjury up to the age of two. It ispreferable to put your child into arear-facing enclosing shell seat. Thisposition enhances safety.

Category 1 (9 to 18 kg)Between the ages of 2 and 4, achild's pelvis is not fully developed.Restraints using the vehicle's seatbelts are not adequate and there isalso a risk that the child will sustainabdominal injuries in the event of afrontal impact. Use a seat whichrestrains the child by means of aharness.Place the headrest in the topposition to allow you to press theseatback of the child seat firmlyagainst the vehicle seatback.

To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you useRENAULT approved accessories because they are designed for yourvehicle and are the only accessories for which RENAULT willprovide a warranty.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

Category 2 (15 kg (33 lbs) to 25kg (55 lbs)) and category 3 (22 kg(48 lbs) to 36 kg (79 lbs))To correctly secure the pelvis of achild under 10 years, of less than1.36 m in height and less than 36 kg(79 lbs) in weight.Use a booster seat with belt guidesto ensure that the three-point beltlies flat over the child's thighs.

A booster seat with aheight-adjustable seatback and abelt guide are recommended as thiswill allow the belt to be worn asclose to the base of the neck aspossible but not on it.Place the headrest in the topposition to allow you to press theseatback of the child seat firmlyagainst the vehicle seatback.If a booster seat without a seatbackis used, the vehicle's headrest willhave to be adjusted to suit thechild's stature; the upper edge of theheadrest must be at the same heightas the top of the child's head andshould never be lower than in linewith the child's eyes.

The standard classifies the childrestraints in five categories:Category 0 : 0 to 10 kg (0 to 22 lbs)Category 0+: 0 to 13 kg (0 to 29 lbs)Category 1 : 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs)Category 2 : 15 to 25 kg (33 to 55 lbs)Category 3 : 22 to 36 kg (48 to 79 lbs)

CHILD SAFETY No modifications may be made to the original component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and

their mountings).

Carefully follow the instructions for fitting provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.

Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any objects between the child and the restraintsystem.

The seat belt in the vehicle must be tight enough so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tensionregularly.

Never wear the belt under your arm or behind your back.

The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child's size.

Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the vehicle is moving.

Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when they are asleep.

Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident were to occur, it maybecome dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.

Following a serious accident, have the seat belts and restraint systems in use at the time checked.

Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if they are in a restraining device.

Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with these).

Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.

Set your children a good example; always wear your seat belt.
