SEAT BELTS (continued)  
The 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 their  
mountings).  
For special applications (e.g. fitting child seats) contact your RENAULT Dealer.  
- Do not use devices which give any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely  
risks causing injury in the event of an accident.  
- Never wear the shoulder strap under the arm or behind the back.  
- Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt  
around 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 signs  
of wear.  
- When refitting the rear seats, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used correctly.  
- If necessary, readjust the position and tightness of the belt.  
- Make sure that the tongue is inserted into the appropriate buckle.  
1.26  
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS  
These are:  
- After an accident, have  
the entire restraint  
system checked  
- buckle pretensioners,  
- lap strap pretensioners,  
- chest force limiters,  
- 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.  
- driver and passenger front  
airbags.  
These systems are designed to act  
independently or together when the  
vehicle is subjected to a frontal  
impact.  
- To avoid premature triggering of  
the system which may cause  
injury, only qualified RENAULT  
Network personnel may work on  
the pretensioner and airbag  
system.  
Depending on the force of the  
impact the system may activate:  
- seat belt locking,  
- the buckle pretensioner (which is  
triggered to take up the seat belt  
play),  
- the lap belt pretensioner to keep  
the occupant in their seat, the low  
volume front airbag and the force  
limiters,

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.  
- Testing of the electric trigger  
system may only be carried out  
by a specially trained technician  
using special equipment.  
- the large volume front airbag.  
In the event of a severe frontal  
impact and if the ignition is  
switched on, the system may engage  
the following depending on the  
force of the impact:  
- When the vehicle is scrapped,  
contact your RENAULT Dealer  
for disposal of the pretensioner  
and airbag gas generators.  
- piston 1 which instantly retracts  
the seat belt;  
- piston 2 on the front seats.

The airbag system is based on  
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.

ventilation system to prevent burns  
which could be caused by escaping  
gases:  
Operating faults  
When the ignition is switched on,  
In a severe frontal impact, the  
airbags inflate rapidly, cushioning  
the impact of the driver's head and  
chest against the steering wheel and  
the front passenger's head against  
the dashboard. The airbags then  
deflate immediately so that the  
passengers are not in any way  
hindered from leaving the vehicle.

- “small volume” airbag, this is the  
first stage of operation,  
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.  
- “large volume” airbag, the airbag  
seams rip so that a larger volume  
of gas is released into the bag (for  
the most severe impacts).  
Deployment of the airbag is  
modified according to the severity  
of the impact and the position of the  
driver's seat on its runners.  
Consult your RENAULT Dealer as  
soon as possible. Your protection  
will be reduced until this fault is  
rectified.  
1.29  
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 cushion.  
- Do not cover the steering wheel cushion.  
- Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel cushion.  
- 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, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard in the proximity of the airbag  
housing.  
- 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 all parts of your body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard.  
- 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.

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.  
1.31  
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES  
Side airbags  
This airbag is fitted to each of the  
front seats and is inflated at the  
sides of the seats (door side) to  
protect the occupants in the event of  
a severe side impact.  
Curtain airbags  
These are airbags fitted along the  
sides of the vehicle in the ceiling  
which trigger along the front and  
rear side windows to protect the  
passengers in case of a severe side  
impact.  
Warnings concerning the side airbag  
- Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers  
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact your RENAULT  
Dealer 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 the airbags and reduce your protection.  
- Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the  
door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items  
such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the airbag from operating  
correctly or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.  
- No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or  
internal fittings, except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.  
- These airbags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never  
insert any objects in these slits.  
A marking on the windscreen  
informs you of the presence of  
additional means of restraint  
(airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in  
the passenger compartment.  
1.32  
ADDITIONAL MEANS OF RESTRAINT  
All the warnings below are given so that, if the airbag is activated, it is not obstructed in any way and also to prevent the  
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 parts  
of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear a 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 of  
minor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always  
possible with airbags.  
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are not always  
triggered. Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, from pavements, potholes, stones etc. can all trigger these systems.  
- No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the airbag system (airbags, pretensioners,  
computer, wiring harness, 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 cause  
injury, 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, or 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).  
1.33  
CHILD SAFETY  
In all countries there are regulations  
governing the use of restraints for  
children and babies.  
Some passenger seats are not  
suitable for the installation of child  
seats.  
Remember that  
a
collision at  
31 mph (50 km/h) is the same as  
falling a distance of 10 metres.  
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.  
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 squab as far as  
possible,  
- raise the headrest to its highest  
setting,  
- move the seat belt height control  
to the low position.  
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.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)  
The right choice  
The safety of your children is also  
your responsibility.  
To ensure that your child has the  
maximum possible protection, we  
recommend that you use seats  
approved by the RENAULT  
Network.  
It is preferable to use an ISOFIX seat if  
your vehicle is fitted with an ISOFIX  
system (refer to “ISOFIX child seat  
fitting system” 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.

preferable to put your child into a  
rear facing enclosing shell seat. This  
position enhances safety.  
Category 1 (from 9 to 18 kg)  
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a  
child's pelvis is not fully developed.  
Restraints using the vehicle's  
three-point belts are not adequate  
and there is also a risk that the child  
will sustain abdominal injuries in  
the event of a frontal impact. It is  
therefore fitting to use an enclosing

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.  
1.37  
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 headrest in the top  
position to allow you to press the  
seatback of the child seat firmly  
against the vehicle seatback.  
Vehicles with integrated child head  
restraint: refer to the information  
under “Child head restraints” in  
Section 3.  
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 to 25 kg) and  
category 3 (22 to 36 kg)  
For correctly maintaining the pelvis  
of a child under 10 years, a height  
under 1.36 m and a weight of less  
than 36 kg, preferably use a raised  
seat with belt guides that ensure  
that the three-point belt goes flat  
over the child's thighs.  
The standard classifies child  
restraints in five categories:  
Category 0 : 0 to 10 kg  
Category 0+: 0 to 13 kg

CHILD SAFETY  
- No modifications may be made to the original component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and  
their mountings) fitted.  
- 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 restraint  
system.  
- The seat belt in the vehicle must be tight enough so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tension  
regularly.  
- 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 may  
become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.  
- Following a serious accident, check the seat belts or the ISOFIX seat mounting and replace the child seat.  
- 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.

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  
inflates.

Deactivating the front passenger  
airbags (if fitted)  
In order to fit a rear-facing child seat  
on the front passenger seat, you  
must deactivate the front passenger  
seat additional restraint equipment  
(front and lateral airbags and lap  
belt pretensioners).  
To deactivate the airbags: when  
the vehicle is stationary, push and  
turn lock 9 to the OFF position.  
The label (on the dashboard) and  
the markings (on the sun visor)  
remind you of these instructions.  
With the ignition switched on, you  
must check that warning light 10,  
AIRBAG OFF on the dashboard is  
lit up.  
This light remains continuously  
lit to let you know that you can fit  
a child seat.

FUEL TANK (continued)  
Filling with fuel  
Petrol versions  
Using leaded petrol will damage the  
anti-pollution devices and may lead  
to a loss of warranty.  
Filling with fuel (continued)  
Petrol and diesel versions  
No more than two filling operations  
may be made after the fuel feed has  
switched off automatically for the  
first time because there must be  
sufficient space in the fuel tank to  
allow for expansion.  
Persistent fuel odour  
If you notice a persistent fuel odour  
you should:  
- stop the vehicle when traffic  
conditions allow and switch off  
the ignition,  
To ensure that the fuel tank is not  
filled with leaded petrol, the fuel  
tank filler neck contains a restrictor  
fitted with a foolproof system which  
only allows the nozzle for unleaded  
petrol to be used (at the pump).  
- Insert the nozzle so that the metal  
valve is pushed back and then  
insert it fully before beginning to  
fill the tank (risk of splash-back).  
- switch on the hazard warning  
lights and ask your passengers to  
leave the vehicle and stay clear of  
the traffic,  
- Do not operate on, or restart, the  
vehicle before it has been  
inspected by qualified staff from  
the RENAULT network.  
- Keep the nozzle in this position  
throughout the entire filling  
operation.  
No  
modifications  
whatsoever are permitted  
on any part of the fuel  
supply system (computers,  
wiring, fuel circuit, injector,  
protection covers, etc.) as this  
may be dangerous (such work  
must be undertaken by qualified  
RENAULT Network personnel).
