The following information applies to both the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts:

• No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and theirmountings) fitted originally.

For special applications (e.g. fitting child seats) consult your Renault Dealer.

• Do not use any devices which give any play in the belts (clothes pegs, clips, for example). A seat belt that is worn tooloosely may cause injuries in the event of an accident.

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

• Do not use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your knees with your seat beltaround them.

• The belt should never be twisted.

• Following a serious accident the seat belts in use at the time must be replaced. Likewise, have your seat belts replacedas soon as they show any signs of wear.

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

• If necessary, re-adjust the position and tension of the belt.

These are:

O Seat belt pretensioners.

O Force limiter.

O Air bags for driver and frontpassenger.

These systems are provided to actindependently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontalimpact.

There are three possibilities,depending on the force of theimpact:- Protection is provided by the belt

only;- The pretensioner is triggered to

rectify belt position and take upplay in the belt;

- Always wear your seat belt whentravelling in your car.

O Side air bagsProvided to operate in the eventof a violent side impact.

Seat belt pretensionersThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.

If the vehicle is subject to a severefrontal impact, piston 1immediately retracts the seat belt buckle pulling the seat belt tightagainst the body and therebyimproving its efficiency.

• Following an accident,have all the restraintsystems checked.

• No operations whatsoever arepermitted on any part of the

pretensioner system (computer,wiring).

• To avoid accidental triggering of the system which may causedamage, only qualifiedpersonnel of the RenaultNetwork may work on thepretensioner system.

• Electrical testing of the trigger

system may only be carried out by a specially trained technicianusing special equipment.

• When the vehicle is scrapped,contact your Renault Dealer fordisposal of the gas generator.

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.

Warning relating to theservice life of air bagsand pretensioners

The pyrotechnic systems in air

bags and pretensioners have alimited service life. Thesesystems must be replaced eachtime they are activated but at thelatest after they have been inservice for ten years.The workmust be undertaken by a RenaultDealer.

The seat belt pretensioners andthe air bag operate together. If

one of the systems has passed thedate when it is due for renewal, itwill alter the overall safetyprotection provided.

Airbags for driver and frontpassengerAn air bag may be provided for boththe driver and the front passenger.

"Air bag" inscriptions on thesteering wheel and dashboardtogether with a label on the sunvisor on the passenger side indicatethat the vehicle is equipped with air bags.

Airbags for driver and frontpassenger (continued)

Each air bag system consists of:- An air bag 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 impactdetector and a monitor controlling

the electrical trigger system for thegas generator.- One single indicator light on the

instrument panel 1.

Operation

The system is only operational afterthe ignition has been turned on(ignition key in position M “ignitionon”).

If a severe frontal impact occurs, theair bag(s) inflate(s) in approximately30 millisecond(s), cushioning theimpact of the driver’s head againstthe steering wheel and the frontpassenger’s head against thedashboard. The air bag then deflatesimmediately so that the passengersare not impeded in any way whenthey get out of the vehicle.

The air bag system uses theprinciples of pyrotechnics. Thisexplains why, when the air baginflates, it will generate heat,produce smoke (this does not meanthat a fire is about to start) and makea noise upon detonation. In asituation where an air bag isrequired, it must inflateimmediately and this may causesome minor, superficial grazing tothe skin.

Operating incidents

Tell-tale light 1 illuminates on theinstrument panel when the ignitionis turned on and then extinguishesafter a few seconds.

If it does not illuminate when theignition is turned on or if it flashes,there is a fault in the system.

Consult your Renault Dealer as soonas possible. Your protection will bereduced until this problem isrectified.

All the warnings given below are designed to ensure that the air bag can inflate correctly and to prevent serious injuriescaused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. The air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential that the seat belt is worn at all times. If seat belts are notworn, it exposes the occupants to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase therisk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are

always possible with air bags.

The air bag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if thevehicle turns over.

Air bags for driver and passenger

• No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on the entire driver and passenger air bag system (computer,wiring, etc.) except by qualified Renault network personnel.

• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may causeinjury, only qualified Renault Network personnel may work on the air bag system.

• As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, is stolen or broken 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).

The markings 1 on the windscreenwill remind you of the presence of this equipment.

This system will only operate if asevere side impact occurs.

Warnings concerning the side air bag• Fitting seat covers: Seats equipped with an air bag require special

covers specifically designed for your vehicle. Consult your RenaultDealer to find out if these covers may be purchased from Renault

outlets. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle(and including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the

operation of these air bags and reduce your protection.• Do not place any accessories, objects or even an animal between the

seatback and the door. This may prevent the air bag from operatingcorrectly or cause injury if the air bag is deployed.

• No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on the seat except by qualified Renault network personnel.

In all countries there are regulationsgoverning the use of restraints forchildren and babies.

In Europe, children under 12 yearsof age or a height of less than1.50 m(1) (4 ft 11 inches) must travelin an approved seat that is suitable

for the height and weight of thechild.

The driver is responsible forensuring that this equipment isused correctly.

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 of

allowing him or her to play on athird-floor balcony which doesnot have any railings.

(1) Always comply with the laws of thecountry in which you are travelling.They may be different to theguidelines in this handbook.

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

passenger in the vehicle.

If a head-on collision occurs at30 mph (50 km/h) a child weighing30 kg (66 lbs) will be transformedinto a missile equivalent to onetonne: you will find it impossibleto hold the child, even if youyourself are wearing a belt.

It is particularly dangerous to putthe belt round your child when heor she is sitting on your knee.Never use the same belt for morethan one person at the same time.

Child restraints for which typeapproval was obtained after 1992provide a level of security greaterthan for restraints with typeapproval before that date.

It is therefore advisable to select achild restraint that complies with

European regulation ECE 44.Restraints that comply with thislegislation must be marked with anorange label bearing the letter Efollowed by a number (whichstands for the country where it istype approved) and the year thetype approval was granted.

The standard classifies therestraints in five categories:Category 0 : from 0 to 10 kg

(0 to 22 lbs)Category 0+: from 0 to 13 kg

(0 to 28 lbs)Category 1 : from 9 to 18 kg



(48 to 80 lbs)

The right choiceThe safety of your children is alsoyour responsibility.

To ensure that your child has themaximum possible protection, werecommend that you use seatsobtained from a Renault Dealer.

If your vehicle is fitted with anIsofix system you should use anIsofix seat (see section 1, paragraph"Isofix child seat attachmentsystem").

Restraint systems for all thecategories are available. Thesesystems have been developed inconsultation with the

manufacturers and have been testedin Renault vehicles.

Consult your Renault Dealer andask him to help you install it.

Category O and O+A child’s neck is very susceptible toinjury up to the age of two. In afront-facing seat there is a risk that achild will sustain neck injuries inthe event of a frontal collision.Renault therefore recommends arear-facing seat with a harness thatgives all-round protection (figure 1).

Category 1Between the ages of 2 and 4, achild’s pelvis is not fully developed.Restraints using three-point beltsare not adequate and there is a riskthat the child will sustainabdominal injuries in the event of afrontal collision. It is thereforeadvisable to use rear-facing seats(figure 1), bucket type seats (figure2) or seats with harnesses.

To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you useRENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for yourcar and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will provide awarranty.

Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) (33 to55 lbs)The type of restraint most suitablefor the pelvis of a child aged between 4 and 7 is one that can becombined with a three-point seat belt. This is a booster seat (figure 3)with belt guides to ensure that the belt will be worn flat over the thighsof the child.

A booster seat with aheight-adjustable seatback and a belt guide is recommended as thiswill allow the belt to be worn asclose to the base of the neck aspossible but not on it. A bucket-typeseat (figure 4) must be used forvehicles where the rear centre seatis equipped with a two-point belt.

Category 3For children aged over 7, a boosterseat with belt guides isrecommended to ensure that thevehicle's three-point seat belt will be worn flat over the child’s thighs.

A booster seat with aheight-adjustable seatback and a belt guide is recommended as thiswill allow the belt to be worn asclose to the base of the neck aspossible but not on it.

If a booster seat without a seatbackis used (figure 3), the vehicle’s headrestraint will have to be adjusted tosuit the child’s stature; the upperedge of the head restraint must be atthe same height as the top of thechild’s head and should never belower than in line with the child’seyes.

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

mountings) fitted originally.

• The fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system should be followed carefully.

• Avoid wearing bulky clothing and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.

• The seat belt on the vehicle must be taut so that the child’s seat is held in position securely. Check the tensionregularly.

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

• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child’s stature.

• Never allow your child to stand or kneel on the seat when the vehicle is moving.

• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when he or she is asleep.

• Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, it may become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.

• Following a serious accident, have an inspection made of the seat belts and restraint systems fitted at the time.

• Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if he or she is in a child seat.

• 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.

the wheels may lock when braking,depending on the nature of theground, weather conditions and

your reactions. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) has beendesigned to combat this danger.

The safety enhancement is that the brake control system prevents thewheels from locking, even if the

brakes are applied too sharply, andallows the vehicle to be steered andthus its direction to be controlled.

Under these circumstances it isquite possible for the driver to steerthe vehicle and to avoid an obstaclewhilst at the same time applying the

brakes.

Although this system allows you tomake maximum use of stopping

distances, even with the ABS youstill have to take account of theactual condition of the road surface.It is still essential to follow the rulesof good driving practice (such asdriving at a safe distance to thevehicle in front).

You must make sure that your tyresconform to local road regulations.

When the tread has worn down tothe level of these risers, they may beseen 2. The tyre concerned mustthen be changed as only about1.6 mm of tread rubber remains; thisis insufficient for maintaining agood grip on wet roads.

Incidents which occur whendriving, such as striking the kerb,may damage the tyres and could

lead to misalignment of the frontaxle geometry.

When they need to bereplaced, only tyres of the same make,dimension, type and

profile should be used.

When fitting tyres to the car,they should either be identical tothose fitted originally orconform to those recommended

by your Renault Dealer.

Maintaining the tyresThe tyres must be in good conditionand the tread form must have

sufficient depth; tyres approved byRenault's Technical Departmenthave wear warning strips 1 whichare risers moulded into the tread atseveral points.

An overloaded car, long journeys bymotorway, particularly in very hotweather, or continual driving onpoorly surfaced minor roads willlead to more rapid tyre wear andaffect safety.

Inflation pressures should bechecked when the tyres are cold;ignore higher pressures which may

be reached in hot weather orfollowing a fast journey.

If tyre inflation pressures cannot bechecked when the tyres are cold,take into account an increase of 0.2to 0.3 bar.

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Fuse box 1If an incident occurs in an electricalcomponent, check first of all thatthe fuses are sound. Also make surethat the faulty component iscorrectly connected. If a shortcircuit occurs, unscrew one of thewing nuts on the battery posts toisolate the battery.

Open the cover 2 (under the steeringwheel).

Check the fuse inquestion and replace it,if necessary, with a fusewhich must be of the

same rating as the original fuse.

If a fuse is fitted where the ratingis too high, it may cause theelectrical circuit to overheat (riskof fire) in the event of an item of equipment using an excessive

amount of current.

Use tweezers to remove the fuse 3.

To remove the fuse from thetweezers, slide the fuse to the side.

A wise precaution:

Obtain a box of spare bulbs andfuses from your Renault Dealer.
