ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (1/5)

1.3

ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (2/5)

Electric vehicles have special features,

but operate in a similar manner to con-

ventional vehicles.

The main difference in electric vehicles

is the exclusive use of electric energy

instead of fuel, as used in convention

vehicles.

We therefore recommend that you read

these instructions describing your elec-

tric vehicle carefully.

Connected services

(depending on vehicle)

Your electric vehicle has connected

services that provide information and/

or control:

– your vehicle’s charging status;

– the traction battery charging pro-

gramming, based on certain choices

on offer;

– air-conditioning remote program-

ming (please see the information on

“Air-conditioning: remote activation”

in Section 3);

– ...

You can subscribe to a connected

service or extend it at any time by

consulting an authorised dealer.

1 2

You can access these services by:

– digital devices (mobile telephones 2,

your computer 3, etc);

– multimedia display 1.

For further information, please contact

an authorised dealer.

1.4

Batteries

Your electric vehicle has two types of

battery:

– a 400V traction battery;

– secondary 12 V battery.

400 V traction battery

This battery stores the energy neces-

sary to operate the motor in your elec-

tric vehicle properly. As with any bat-

tery, it discharges after use, and must

be regularly recharged.

You do not have to wait until the traction

battery hits the reserve level in order to

recharge it.

Charging times vary depending on the

type of specific wall unit socket or public

terminal you connect to.

Your vehicle range will depend on the

charge level of the traction battery, and

also on your driving style.

Please refer to information on “Vehicle

range: recommendations” in Section 2.

Secondary 12V battery

The second battery on your vehicle is

a secondary 12 V battery: this supplies

the energy required to operate vehicle

equipment (lights, windscreen wipers,

ABS, etc).

ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (3/5)

1.5

The vehicle drive system

in an electric vehicle uses

a direct voltage of approx-

imately 400 volts. This

system can get hot during and after

switching off the ignition. Respect

warning messages given on the

labels in the vehicle.

All interventions or modifications to

the 400V electrical system (com-

ponents, cables, connectors, trac-

tion battery) are strictly prohibited

due to the risks they present to your

safety. Please contact an authorised

dealer.

The risk of serious burns or elec-

tric shocks can lead to death.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (4/5)

The A symbol denotes the electrical

elements of your vehicle which may

present health risks.

400 volt electrical circuit

The 400 V electrical circuit is denoted

by orange cables 6 and parts bearing

the

ṑ symbol.

1.6

Driving

As with a car with an automatic gear-

box, you will have to get used to not

using your left foot, and not using this

foot to brake.

When driving, if you lift your foot off the

accelerator pedal or depress the brake

pedal, the motor generates electrical

current during deceleration, and this

energy is used to brake the vehicle and

recharge the traction battery. Please

refer to the information on the “Charge

meter” in Section 2.

Special feature:

After a maximum charge of the battery

and during the first few miles of using

the vehicle, the engine brake will be

temporarily reduced. Please adapt your

driving style appropriately.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (5/5)

Bad weather, flooded roads:

Do not drive through floods

if the depth of water is

above the lower edge of

the wheel rims

Your electric vehicle is

silent, so when you get out,

place the gear selector on

P, engage the handbrake

and switch off the ignition.

RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY

The engine brake should

under no circumstances be

used as a substitute for the

brake pedal.

Noise

Electric vehicles are particularly quiet.

You will not yet necessarily be used to

it, and neither will other road users. It

is difficult for them to hear the vehicle

when it is moving.

We would therefore recommend that

you are aware of the horn and make

use of it, especially when driving in a

built-up area or when manoeuvring.

Please refer to the information on the

“Pedestrian horn” in Section 1.

As the motor is silent, you will hear

noises that you are not used to hearing

(aerodynamic noises, tyre noise, etc.)

When charging, the vehicle may emit

noises (fan, relays, etc).

When the vehicle is stopped, the heat-

ing system may start automatically for

self-maintenance.

Obstructions to the driver

On the driver’s side, only

use mats suitable for the

vehicle, attached with the

pre-fitted components, and check

the fitting regularly. Do not lay one

mat on top of another.

There is a risk of wedging the

pedals

1.7

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to a risk of fire, serious injury

or electric shock which may present a risk to life.

In the event of an accident or impact

In the event of an accident or an impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furni-

ture), this may damage the electric circuit or the traction battery.

Have the vehicle checked by an authorised dealer.

Never touch the “400 volt” components or orange cables which are exposed and visible inside or outside the vehicle.

In the event of serious damage to the traction battery, leaks may occur:

– never touch the liquids (fluids, etc.) coming from the traction battery;

– in the event of contact with the body, wash the affected area with plenty of water and consult a doctor as soon as possible.

In the event of an impact, even slight, against the charging flap and/or valve, have them checked by an authorised dealer as

soon as possible.

In the event of fire

In the event of fire, make everyone evacuate the vehicle immediately and contact the emergency services, informing them that

this is an electric vehicle.

Only use extinguishing agents ABC or BC that are permitted for use with electrical fires. Do not use water or other extinguish-

ing agents.

In the event of damage to the electrical circuit, please call an authorised dealer.

All towing operations

Please refer to the information on “Towing, breakdowns” in Section 5.

Washing the vehicle

Never wash the engine compartment, the charging connection or the traction battery with a high-pressure jet.

This risks damaging the electric circuit.

Never wash the vehicle while it is charging.

Risk of electric shock and a risk to life.

conditioning

A long press on the button 4 activates

the air-conditioning for a period of ap-

proximately 5 minutes. This enables

you to obtain a comfortable tempera-

ture prior to using the vehicle. Please

see the information on “Air condition-

ing: remote activation” in Section 3.

HANDS-FREE RENAULT CARD: use (1/4)

Use

On equipped vehicles, in addition to

the functions of the above-mentioned

remote control RENAULT card, it can

be used to lock/unlock without using

the RENAULT card, when it is in access

zone 1.

Do not store the RENAULT card

anywhere it may come into contact

with other electronic equipment

(computer, PDA, phone, etc.) as this

could hinder its operation.

Driver’s responsibility

when parking or stopping

the vehicle

Never leave an animal,

child or adult who is not self-suffi-

cient alone in your vehicle, even for

a short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves

or to others by starting the engine,

activating equipment such as the

electric windows or locking the

doors, for example.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,

please remember that the tempera-

ture inside the passenger compart-

ment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS

INJURY.

1.23

HANDS-FREE RENAULT CARD: use (2/4)

Unlocking the vehicle

With the RENAULT card in zone 1 and

the vehicle locked, press button 3 on

handle 2 on one of the two front doors:

the vehicle will unlock.

Pressing button 4 also unlocks all the

doors and the tailgate.

The hazard warning lights flash once

to indicate that the doors have been un-

locked.

Note: The vehicle cannot be locked

again for approximately three seconds

after unlocking by pressing button 3.

After unlocking the vehicle or the

boot only using the buttons of the

RENAULT card, remote locking and

unlocking in hands-free mode are

deactivated.

To reactivate the hands-free mode:

restart the vehicle.

1.24

HANDS-FREE RENAULT CARD: use (3/4)

Locking the vehicle

There are three ways to lock the vehi-

cle: remotely, using button 3, or using

the RENAULT card.

Remote locking

With the RENAULT card on you, and

doors and tailgate closed, move away

from the vehicle: it will lock automati-

cally once you have left zone 1.

Note: the distance at which the vehicle

locks depends on the surroundings.

The hazard warning lights flash twice

and a beep sounds to indicate that the

doors have locked.

The beep may be switched off. Please

contact an authorised dealer.

If a door or the tailgate is open or not

properly shut, or a card is in the passen-

ger compartment (or the card reader)

the vehicle will not lock. In this situation,

no beep sounds and the hazard war-

ning lights do not flash.

Locking using button 3

With the doors and boot closed, press

button 3 on one of the front door

handles. The vehicle will lock. If a

door or the boot is open or not closed

properly, the vehicle will quickly lock/

unlock.

NB:

– the card RENAULT must be within

the vehicle’s access zone (1 zone) to

be able to use the button for locking;

– the vehicle cannot be unlocked again

for approximately three seconds

after locking by pressing button 3.

1.25

With the engine running, if, after

having opened and closed a door, the

card is no longer in the passenger com-

partment, the message “Keycard not

detected” (accompanied by a beep

when the speed passes a certain level)

warns you that the card is no longer

in the vehicle. This avoids you driving

away after having dropped off a pas-

senger who has the card, for example.

The warning disappears when the card

is detected again.

HANDS-FREE RENAULT CARD: use (4/4)

Locking using the RENAULT card

With the doors and luggage compart-

ment closed, press button 5: the vehi-

cle will lock.

The hazard warning lights flash twice

to indicate that the doors have locked.

Note: the maximum distance at which

the vehicle locks depends on the sur-

roundings.

Special note:

The vehicle will not lock if:

– a door or the tailgate is open or not

properly closed;

– a card is still in zone 6 (or in the card

reader) and no other card is in the

external detection zone.

After locking/unlocking the vehicle

and the tailgate only using the but-

tons on the RENAULT card, remote

locking and unlocking in hands-free

mode are deactivated.

To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:

restart the vehicle.

1.26

To deactivate deadlocking

Unlock the vehicle using button 1 on

the RENAULT card.

The hazard warning lights flash once to

indicate that the doors have been un-

locked.

someone is still inside the

vehicle.

To activate deadlocking

Deadlocking can be activated in one of

two ways:

– press button 2 twice in quick succes-

sion;

– or, press the button on the driver’s

door handle 3 twice in quick succes-

sion.

The hazard warning lights flash five

times to indicate locking.

If the vehicle is equipped with a dead-

locking function, this allows you to lock

the opening elements and to prevent

the doors from being unlocked using

the interior handles (for example, by

breaking the window and then trying to

open the door from the inside).

RENAULT CARD: deadlocking

After activating the deadlocking

function using button 2, remote

locking and unlocking in hands-free

mode are deactivated.

To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:

ing flap is open or not closed properly.

When the vehicle is travelling at around

12 mph, the 7, 8 or 9 warning light indi-

cates that one or more of the openings

(door, boot or charging flap) is open or

not closed properly.

Special note

Once the engine has been switched off,

the lights and accessories (radio, etc.)

will continue to operate until the driver’s

door is opened.

1.29

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (1/2)

Locking/Unlocking the doors

from the outside

This is done using the RENAULT Card;

see the “RENAULT Card” information in

Section 1.

In certain cases, the RENAULT card

may not work:

– the card battery RENAULT is

drained, flat 12 V battery, etc.

– if equipment operating on the same

frequency as the card (mobile

phones, etc.) is used;

– vehicle located in a high electromag-

netic radiation zone.

It is then possible:

– to use the key integrated into the

card to unlock the front left-hand

door;

– to lock each of the doors manually;

– to use the interior door locking/un-

locking control (refer to the following

pages).

Using the key integrated in

the RENAULT card

Insert key 1 into the lock in the driver’s

door and lock or unlock.

Locking the doors manually

Turn screw 2 with the door open (using

the end of the key) and close the door.

This means that the doors are then

locked from the outside.

The doors may then only be opened

from the inside or by using the key in

the front left-hand door.

1.30

Locking the doors without

the RENAULT card

For example, in the event of a dis-

charged battery or the RENAULT card

temporarily not working, etc.

With the engine switched off and an

opening (door or boot) open, press

and hold the switch 3 for more than five

seconds.

When the door is closed, all the doors

and tailgate will be locked.

Unlocking the vehicle from the outside

is only possible with the RENAULT card

in the vehicle's access zone or using

the key integrated in the RENAULT

card.

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (2/2)

Interior locking/unlocking

door control

Switch 3 simultaneously controls the

doors and the boot.

If a door or the tailgate is open or not

closed properly, the doors and tailgate

lock/unlock quickly.

If you need to transport objects with the

boot open, the other opening elements

can still be locked: with the engine

stopped, press the switch 3 for more

than five seconds to lock the other

openings.

Door and tailgate status

indicator

With the ignition on, the warning light

integrated in switch 3 informs you of the

locking status of the opening elements:

– indicator light on, the doors and tail-

gate are locked,

– indicator light off, the doors and tail-

gate are unlocked.

When you lock the doors, the indicator

light remains lit and then goes out.

Never leave your vehicle

with the RENAULT card

inside.

After locking/unlocking the vehicle

and the tailgate only using the but-

tons on the RENAULT card, remote

locking and unlocking in hands-free

mode are deactivated.

To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:

restart the vehicle.

Driver’s responsibility

If you decide to keep the

doors locked when you are

driving, remember that it

may be more difficult for those as-

sisting you to gain access to the

passenger compartment in the

event of an emergency.

1.31

AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING

Activating/deactivating the

function

With the engine running, press

button 1 for approximately five seconds

until you hear a beep.

Operating principle

After the vehicle is started, the system

automatically locks the doors when

you are driving at approximately 6 mph

(10 km/h) and over.

The door can be unlocked:

– by pressing the door unlocking

button 1.

– by opening a front door (vehicle sta-

tionary).

NB: if a door is opened or closed, it will

automatically lock again when the vehi-

cle reaches a speed of 6 mph (10 km/h).

Operating faults

If you experience an operating fault

(no automatic locking, the indicator

light incorporated in button 1 does not

light up when trying to lock the open-

ing elements, etc.), firstly check that the

opening elements are properly closed.

If they are properly closed, contact an

authorised dealer.

Driver’s responsibility

If you decide to keep the

doors locked when you are

driving, remember that it

may be more difficult for those as-

sisting you to gain access to the

passenger compartment in the

event of an emergency.

1.32

FRONT SEATS

To move the seat forwards or

back

Lift handle 1 to unlock. Release the

handle once the seat is in the correct

position and ensure that the seat is fully

locked into position.

To tilt the seatback

Turn control knob 2 to the required po-

sition.

For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not

being driven.

We would advise you not to recline the seatbacks too far to ensure that

the effectiveness of the seat belts is not reduced.

No object should be placed on the floor (in front of the driver). Nothing should be

placed around the driver’s feet as such objects may slide under the pedals during

sudden braking manoeuvres and obstruct their use.

Heated seats

Turn control 3 to either position 1, 2 or

3 (depending on the temperature requi-

red). The

ñ indicator light on the ins-

trument panel comes on once the front

seat heating system is operating.

The system, which has a thermostat,

regulates the heating level.

To switch off the heated seat function,

turn control 3 to the OFF position.

1.33

Always wear your seat belt when trav-

elling in your vehicle. You must also

comply with the legislation of the par-

ticular country you are in.

Incorrectly adjusted or

twisted seat belts may

cause injuries in the event

of an accident.

Use one seat belt per person,

whether child or adult.

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, but do

not allow any slack.

Before starting, first adjust your driv-

ing position, then ask all occupants

to adjust their seat belts to ensure

optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving

position

– Sit well back in your seat (having

removed your coat or jacket etc.).

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 de-

press the pedals. The seatback

should be adjusted so that your arms

are slightly bent when you hold the

steering wheel;

– adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the

seatback.

The shoulder strap 1 should be as close

as possible to the base of the neck but

not on it.

Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the

thighs and against the pelvis.

The seat belt must be worn as close to

the body as possible. Eg: avoid wearing

heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects

under the belts, etc.

warning light on display 6

It lights up when the engine is started

and, if the driver’s seat belt is not fas-

tened, the light flashes and a beep

sounds for about two minutes when

the vehicle reaches a speed of approxi-

mately 12 mph (20 km/h).

NB: an object placed on the passenger

seat cushion may activate the warning

light in some cases.

SEAT BELTS (2/4)

Locking

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly

and ensure that buckle 3 locks into

catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull-

ing on buckle 3). If the belt jams, allow

it to return slightly before attempting to

unwind it again.

If your seat belt is completely jammed,

pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over

3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly

before attempting to unwind it again.

If there is still a problem, contact an ap-

proved dealer.

Adjusting the height of the

front seat belts

Press the button 7 to adjust the seat

belt height, so that the shoulder strap 1

is worn as shown previously. Press the

button 7 and raise or lower the seat

belt. Make sure that the seat belt is

locked in position correctly after you

have adjusted it.

Unfastening

Press button 4 and the seat belt will be

rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the

belt into position.

1.35

SEAT BELTS (3/4)

Unwind belt 9 slowly from its housing,

then fasten buckle 10 into the corre-

sponding black catch 12.

Rear side seat belts 8

The belts are locked, unlocked and

adjusted in the same way as the front

belts.

1.36

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and

their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.

– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too

loosely may cause injury 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 belt around

them.

– The belt should never be twisted.

– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as

they show any signs of wear.

– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.

– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se-

cured.

– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob-

jects).

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

SEAT BELTS (4/4)

1.37

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)

These are made up of:

– seat belt inertia reel pretension-

ers;

– chest-level load limiters;

– anti-submarining air bags;

– front airbags for driver and front

passenger.

These systems are designed to act in-

dependently or together when the vehi-

cle is subjected to a frontal impact.

Depending on the severity of the

impact, the system can trigger:

– seat belt locking;

– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt

slack);

– the front airbag.

Pretensioners

The pretensioners hold the seat belt

against the body, holding the occupant

more securely against the seat, thus in-

creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.

With the ignition on, following a signif-

icant frontal impact and depending on

the severity of the impact, the system

may trigger the seat belt inertia reel

pretensioner 1, which instantly retracts

the seat belt.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– No operation whatso-

ever is permitted on any part of

the system (pretensioners, air

bags, computers, wiring) and the

system components must not

be reused on any other vehicle,

even if identical.

– To avoid incorrect triggering of

the system which may cause

injury, only qualified personnel

from an approved dealer may

work on the pretensioner and air

bag system.

– The electric trigger system may

only be tested by a specially

trained technician using special

equipment.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact an approved dealer for

disposal of the pretensioner and

air bag gas generators.

1.38

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)

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.

Anti-submarining air bag

Located on each of the front seats, it

deploys in order to prevent the occu-

pant from sliding under the seat belt.

Air bags for driver and front

passenger

Fitted to the driver and passenger side.

Depending on the vehicle, the pres-

ence of this equipment is indicated

by the word “Airbag” on the steering

wheel, dashboard (air bag zone A) and

a symbol on the lower section of the

windscreen.

Each air bag system consists of:

– an air bag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for the driver

and in the dashboard for the front

passenger;

– an electronic unit for system monitor-

ing which controls the gas generator

electrical trigger system;

– remote sensors;

– a single warning light

å on the

instrument panel.

The air bag system uses

pyrotechnic principles. This

explains why, when the air

bag inflates, it will gener-

ate 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 air bag is

required, it will inflate immediately

and this may cause some minor, su-

perficial grazing to the skin or other

problems.

1.39

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)

Operation

This system is only operational when

the ignition is switched on.

In a severe frontal impact, the air bags

inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact

of the driver’s head and chest against

the steering wheel and the front pas-

senger against the dashboard. The air

bags then deflate immediately so that

the passengers are not in any way hin-

dered from leaving the vehicle.

Operating faults

This warning light 2 å will light up

on the instrument panel when the igni-

tion is switched on and then 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.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon

as possible. Your protection will be re-

duced until this fault is rectified.

1.40

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)

Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag

– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.

– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.

– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.

– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our 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 air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger air bag

– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.

– Do not place anything 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 occur. In

general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).

– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure

the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS

THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)

Warnings concerning the anti-submarining air bag

Do not let a child under the age of 12 sit in this seat. When triggered, the anti-submarining air bag may project objects left on

the seat base with a great deal of force.

Risk of serious injury.

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag 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 air bag inflates.

1.41

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SIDE SEAT BELTS

Force 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.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– No operation whatsoever

is permitted on any part of the

system (air bags, electronic con-

trol units, wiring) and the system

components must not be reused

on any other vehicle, even if iden-

tical.

– Only qualified personnel from

our Network may work on the air

bags; otherwise the system may

trigger accidentally and cause

injury.

1.42

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Warnings concerning the side air bag

– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers

specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find

out if these covers are available. 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 air bags 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 air bag from operating correctly

or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal

fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

– The area between the rear bench seatback and the trim is the area of air bag

operation: no objects must be placed here.

Side air bags

These air bags are fitted to the front

seats and are activated at the sides of

the seats (door side) to protect the oc-

cupants in the event of a severe side

impact.

Depending on the vehicle, a mark-

ing on the windscreen informs you

of the presence of additional means

of restraint (airbags, pretensioners,

etc.) in the passenger compartment.

1.43

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of

the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the oc-

cupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor su-

perficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.

If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and air bags are not always triggered.

Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air bag system (air bags, pretensioners, compu-

ter, wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,

only qualified 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, or is stolen or

broken into.

– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle.

– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag 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 air bag inflates.

1.44

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)

Carrying children

Children, and adults, must be correctly

seated and strapped in for all journeys.

The children being carried in your vehi-

cle are your responsibility.

A child is not a miniature adult. Children

are at risk of specific injuries as their

muscles and bones have not yet fin-

ished growing. The seat belt alone

would not provide suitable protection.

Use an approved child seat and ensure

you use it correctly.

A collision at 30 mph

(50 km/h) is the same as fall-

ing a distance of 10 metres.

Transporting a child without

a restraint is the equivalent of allow-

ing him or her to play on a fourth-

floor balcony without railings.

Never travel with a child held in your

arms. In the event of an accident,

you will not be able to keep hold of

the child, even if you yourself are

wearing a seat belt.

If your vehicle has been involved in

a road accident, replace the child

seat and have the seat belts and

ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

To prevent the doors being

opened, use the “Child

safety” device (refer to the

information on “Opening

and closing the doors” in Section 1).

Driver’s responsibility

when parking or stopping

the vehicle

Never leave an animal,

child or adult who is not self-suffi-

cient alone on your vehicle, even for

a short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves

or to others by starting the engine,

activating equipment such as the

electric windows or by locking the

doors.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,

please remember that the tempera-

ture inside the passenger compart-

ment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS

INJURY.

1.45

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

Using a child seat

The level of protection offered by the

child seat depends on its ability to re-

strain your child and on its installation.

Incorrect installation compromises the

protection it offers the child in the event

of harsh braking or an impact.

Before purchasing a child seat, check

that it complies with the regulations for

the country you are in and that it can

be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-

proved dealer to find out which seats

are recommended for your vehicle.

Before fitting a child seat, read the

manual and respect its instructions. If

you experience any difficulties during

installation, contact the manufacturer

of the equipment. Keep the instructions

with the seat.

Set a good example by always fas-

tening your seat belt and teaching

your child:

– to strap themselves in correctly;

– to always get in and out of the car

at the kerb, away from busy traf-

fic.

Do not use a second-hand child

seat or one without an instruction

manual.

Check that there are no objects in

the vicinity of the child seat which

could impede its operation.

Never leave a child unat-

tended in the vehicle.

Check that your child is

always strapped in and that

the belt or safety harness used is

correctly set and adjusted. Avoid

wearing bulky clothing which could

cause the belts to slacken.

Never let your child put their head or

arms out of the window.

Check that the child is in the correct

position for the entire journey, espe-

cially if asleep.

A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier

than that of an adult and its neck is very

fragile. Transport the child in this po-

sition for as long as possible (until the

age of 2 at the very least). It supports

both the head and the neck.

Choose a bucket type seat for best side

protection and change it as soon as the

child’s head is higher than the shell.

Forward-facing child seats

The child’s head and abdomen need to

be protected as a priority. A forward-fac-

ing child seat which is firmly attached to

the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact

to the head. Ensure your child travels in

a forward-facing seat with a harness for

as long as their size permits.

Choose a bucket type seat for optimum

side protection.

Booster cushions

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can

travel using a booster seat, which will

enable the seat belt to be adapted

to suit his/her size and shape. The

booster seat cushion must be fitted with

guides to position the seat belt on the

child’s thighs rather than the stomach.

It is recommended that you use a seat-

back fitted with a belt strap guide which

can be adjusted in terms of height to

position the seat belt in the centre of the

shoulder. It must never rest on the neck

or on the arm.

Choose a bucket type seat for optimum

side protection.

1.47

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child/baby seat mounting (1/2)

There are two ways of attaching child

seats: via the seat belt or using the

ISOFIX system.

Attachment via the seat belt

The seat belt must be adjusted to

ensure that it is effective in the event of

harsh braking or an impact.

Ensure that the strap paths indicated

by the child seat manufacturer are re-

spected.

Always check that the seat belt is cor-

rectly fastened by pulling it up, then

pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the

child seat.

Check that the seat is correctly held by

moving it from side to side and back

to front: the seat should remain firmly

fixed.

Check that the child seat has not been

installed at an angle and that it is not

resting against a window.

Attachment using the ISOFIX

system

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-

proved in accordance with regulation

ECE-R44 in one of the three following

scenarios:

– ISOFIX universal 3-point forwardfac-

ing seat

– ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat

– specific

For the latter two, check that your child

seat can be installed by consulting the

list of compatible vehicles.

Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX

locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX

system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.

The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings

and, in some cases, a third ring.

Before using an ISOFIX

child seat that you pur-

chased for another vehicle,

check that its installation is

authorised. Consult the list of ve-

hicles which can be fitted with the

seat from the equipment manufac-

turer.

No modifications may be

made to the component

parts of the restraint system

(ISOFIX seat belts, seats

and their mountings) originally fitted.

The seat belt must never

be twisted or the tension

relieved. Never pass the

shoulder strap under the

arm or behind the back.

Check that the seat belt has not

been damaged by sharp edges.

If the seat belt does not operate nor-

mally, it will not protect the child.

Consult an approved dealer. Do not

use this seat until the seat belt has

been repaired.

Do not use the child seat

if it may unfasten the seat

belt restraining it: the base

of the seat must not rest on

the buckle and/or catch of the seat

belt.

1.48

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child/baby seat mounting (2/2)

The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a dif-

ferent type of child seat, seat belt or other objects to these anchorage points.

Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage points checked and replace your child seat.

The two rings 1 are located between

the seatback and the seat base of the

seat and are identified by a marking.

To ensure your child seat can be easily

fitted and locked on rings 1, use access

guides 2 on the child seat.

The third ring is used to attach the

upper strap on some child seats: attach

hook 3 (obligatory) to ring 4 for a rear

seat and ring 5 for a front seat, then pull

the strap.

1.49

Some seats are not suitable for fitting

child seats. The diagram on the follow-

ing page shows you how to attach a

child seat.

The types of child seats indicated may

not be available. Before using a differ-

ent child seat, check with the manufac-

turer that it can be fitted.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/5)

In the rear side seat

A carrycot can be installed across the

vehicle and will take up at least two

seats. Position the child with his or her

feet nearest the door.

Move the front seat as far forward as

possible to install a rear-facing child

seat, then move back the seat in front

as far as it will go, although without al-

lowing it to come into contact with the

child seat.

For the safety of the child in the for-

ward-facing seat, do not move the seat

in front back past the middle of the

runner, do not tilt the seatback too far

(maximum of 25° ) and raise the seat as

much as possible. Check that the for-

ward-facing child seat is resting against

the back of the vehicle seat and that the

headrest of the vehicle is not obstruct-

ing its use.

Rear centre seat

Check that the belt is suitable for se-

curing your child seat. Consult an ap-

proved dealer.

In the front seat

The laws concerning children travel-

ling in the front passenger seat differ in

every country. Consult the legislation in

force and follow the indications on the

diagram on the following page.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if

authorised):

– lower the seat belt as far as possible;

– move the seat as far back as possi-

ble;

– gently tilt the seatback away from

vertical (approximately 25°);

– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat

base as far as possible.

Do not change these settings after the

child seat is installed.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: before

installing a child seat on this

seat, check that the airbag

has been deactivated (refer to “Child

safety: front passenger airbag deac-

tivation/activation” in Section 1).

Fit the child seat in a rear

seat wherever possible.

Check that when installing

the child seat in the vehicle

it is not at risk of coming loose from

its base.

If you have to remove the headrest,

check that it is correctly stored so

that it does not come loose under

harsh braking or impact.

Always attach the child seat to the

vehicle even if it is not in use so that

it does not come loose under harsh

braking or impact.

Make sure that the child

seat or the child’s feet do

not prevent the front seat

from locking correctly. Refer

to the information on the “Front seat”

in Section 1.
