Plip remote control unit 2 is used to lock and unlock the doors.

It is powered by a battery which must be replaced when battery warning light 1 stops coming on (refer to the follow ing paragraph).

Press the remote control for approximately one second to lock or unlock the doors. (Indicator light 1 will come on.)

- Locking is indicated by two flashes of the hazard warning lights and the side repeaters.

- The hazard lights and side repeaters flash once to indicate

unlocking.

Note: depending on the vehicle, if a

door or tailgate is open or not properly closed, the hazard warning lights will not flash.

The range in which the remote control will operate

This varies according to the surroundings: therefore take care that when handling the remote control you do not inadvertently lock or unlock the doors.

Never leave your car with the ignition on and containing a child or an

animal as the child could start the engine or operate electrical equipment, for example electric windows, and could trap part of its body (neck, arm, hand, etc.). Risk of serious injury.

1.02

KEYS / RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL (battery)

Note: on certain vehicles, if a door is

not opened within approximately 30 seconds of the doors being unlocked with the remote control, the doors will lock again automatically.

Interference

Interference may be caused to the operation of the remote control by factors in the immediate vicinity (external installations or the use of equipment operating on the same frequency as the remote control).

If you lose your keys or remote control, or need another set, contact

your RENAULT dealer

• Toreplacearemotecontrol,itwill be necessary to take the vehicle to your RENAUL T Dealer because both the vehicle and the remote control are needed to initialise the system.

• It is not possible to use more than two remote control units for one vehicle.

• Make sure the batteries are always in good condition; they have a service life of approximately two years.

Replacing the battery

Slide the cover on remote control 1.

The batteries can be obtained from your RENAULT Dealer. These batteries should last about two years.

A delay of 1 second is required between locking and unlocking actions.

SEAT BELTS

Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your car. You must also comply with the local legislation in the particular country you are in.

Before driving off:

- First ensure that your driving position is correct.

- Then adjust your seat belt to provide maximum protection.

W e would advise you not to recline the seatbacks excessively to ensure that the effectiveness of

the seat belts is not reduced. Make sure the seatback is locked

in place correctly. Nothing should be placed on the

floor (area in front of driver) as such objects may slide under the pedal during braking manoeuvres, thus obstructing its use.

Adjusting your driving position

• Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.

This is essential to ensure that your lumbar vertebrae are in the correct position.

• Adjust the distance between the

seat and the pedals.

Your seat should be as far back as possible while still allowing you to depress the clutch pedal fully. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel.

• Adjust the position of your

headrest.

For maximum safety your head should be as close as possible to the headrest.

• Adjust the height of the seat. This adjustment allows you to

select the seat position which offers you the best possible vision.

• Adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.

Shoulder strap 1 should be as close to the base of your neck as possible but not on it.

Lap strap 2 should be held firmly over your thighs and against your pelvis.

The seat belt should be worn as close to your body as possible; avoid wearing clothes that are too thick, or holding any objects that could obstruct the seat belt, etc.

1.11

FRONT SEAT BELTS

Adjusting the front seat belt shoulder strap height

Press button 3 to select the position you require so that the shoulder strap 1 is worn as described above.

Make sure that the belt is locked in position correctly once it has been adjusted.

To fasten

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly and ensure the buckle 4

locks into the housing 6 (check it is locked by pulling on the buckle 4). If the belt jams, allow it to run back before attempting to unwind it again.

Locking (continued)

If your belt becomes completely jammed:

- pull the belt slowly but firmly so that just over an inch (3 cm) unwinds;

- Then allow the belt to rewind automatically.

- Unwind it again.

- if the problem persists, consult your RENAULT Dealer.

Unlocking

Press button 5 on catch 6.Thebelt will rewind itself.

Guide the buckle to help the operation.

Incorrectly adjusted seat belts may cause injuries in the event of an accident.

Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this eventuality, ensure that the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen but do not allow any slack.

1.12

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

These are:

■ Seat belt pretensioners.

■ Force limiter.

■ Air bags for driver and

passenger

These systems are provided to act independently or together when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.

There are three possibilities, depending on the force of the impact:

- protection is provided by the belt only;

- the pretensioner is triggered to rectify belt position and take up play in the belt;

- the air bag and the force limiter are also triggered when there are severe impacts.

■ Side air bags are provided to

activate in the event of severe side impacts.

Front seat belt pretensioners

The system waits a few seconds after the ignition has been switched on before being operational.

In the event of a significant frontal impact, a computer triggers the seat belt buckle pretensioner igniter , and sets a piston 1 in motion. This piston immediately retracts the seat belt buckle, pulling the seat belt against the body and thereby improving its efficiency.

• No work whatsoever may be

1.13

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

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.

Warning concerning the service life of the airbags

The pyrotechnic systems

in airbags and pretensioners have a limited service life.

Refer to the servicing booklet for your vehicle for replacement frequency.

1.14

Airbags for driver and passenger

These may be provided for the driver and the front passenger seats.

Thepresenceofthisequipmentis indicated by the words “Airbag” on the steering wheel and the dashboard, and a label on the base of the windscreen or on the sun visor.

Each airbag system consists of:

- an airbag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger.

- a computer for both systems, which includes the impact sensor and a monitor controlling the electrical trigger system for the gas generator.

- a single warning light on

the instrument panel.

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

Operation

The system waits a few seconds after the ignition has been switched on before being operational.

If a severe frontal impact occurs, the airbag(s) inflate(s) 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 airbag then deflates immediately so that the passengers are not impeded in any way when they get out of the vehicle.

The passenger airbag system has, in addition to the driver's airbag system, a front passenger airbag deactivation indicator light on the instrument panel. This warning light is linked to the passenger airbag deactivation system through the ignition key.

It lights up to indicate that the passenger airbag will not be inflated in the event of an impact (for more information about the operation of this system, refer to the Deactivating the front passenger airbag section).

Operating faults

W arning light 1 will light up on the instrument panel when the ignition is turned on and then go out after a few seconds.

If it does not light up when the ignition is turned on, there is a fault in the system.

If it lights up while you are driving, stop at once and switch off the ignition.

If it still lights up after the ignition has been switched on again, there is a fault in the system. In this case, a rear-facing child seat MUST NOT be fitted to the front passenger seat.

W e do not recommend fitting any other kind of passenger seat device.

In both cases, consult your RENAULT Dealer as soon as possible.

Theairbagsystemusesthe 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.

1.15

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

All 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.

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 that the seat belt is worn 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. The risk of minor

Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag

• Do not adjust either the steering wheel or the steering wheel

All 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.

• 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).

• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on Adjusting your driving position in Section 1), it will ensure that there is sufficient space for the airbag to inflate properly and to be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag: location 1

• Do not attach or glue any objects (pins, logo, clock, telephone mounting, 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 the body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard.

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

Side airbags

This airbag may be fitted to the front seats and is deployed at the sides of the seats (door side) to protect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.

Markings on the windscreen remind you of the presence of this equipment.

This system will only operate if a severe side impact occurs. It is activated along with the seat belt pretensioner and the front seat belt.

• Do not place any accessories,

Warnings concerning the side airbag

• Fitting seat covers: seats

equipped with an airbag require special covers specifically designed for your car. Consult your RENAUL T Dealer to find out if these covers may be purchased from RENAULT outlets. The use of any covers other than those designed for your car (and including those designed for another car) may affect the operation of these air bags and reduce your protection.

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.

1.20

SEAT BELTS

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

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

Consult your RENAULT Dealer for special applications (e.g. fitting child seats).

• Do not use any devices which give any play in the belts (clothes pegs, clips, for example).

• 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 knees with your seat belt around them.

• The belt should never be twisted.

• The seat belts must be replaced following a serious accident. Likewise, have your seat belts replaced as soon as they show any signs of wear.

• Take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly when refitting the rear bench seat.

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

1.21

CHILD SAFETY

In all countries there are regulations governingtheuseofrestraint systems for children and babies.

In Europe, children under 12 years of age, less than 1.50 m tall and weighing less than 36 kg restrained with an approved restraint adapted to the child's weight and height.

The driver is responsible for ensuring that this equipment is used correctly.

Child restraints for which type approval was obtained after January 1992 offer a level of safety much greater than restraints with type approval before that date.

W e therefore advise you to select an approved child restraint that complies with European regulation ECE 44.

Restraints that comply with this legislationmustbemarkedwithan orange label bearing the letter E followed by a number (which stands for the country where it is an approved type) and the year in which the type approval was granted.

(1) Always comply with the laws of the

country in which you are travelling. They may be different to the guidelines in this handbook.

1.22

(1)

must be

Remember that a collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling from a height of 10 metres. Expressed in other terms, transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a third-floor balcony which does not have any railings.

Under no circumstances should babies or children be allowed to travel sitting on the knees of another

passenger in the car. If a head-on collision occurs at

30 mph (50 km/h), the resulting momentum of a child weighing 30 kg (66 lbs) will be the same as that of a one tonne projectile: you will find it impossible to hold the child, even if you yourself are wearing a belt.

It is particularly dangerous to put the belt round your child when he or she is sitting on your knee. Never use the belt for more than one person at the same time.

The tables on the following pages inform you of the types of seat that can be fitted in each of the vehicle seat positions on the vehicle in accordance with the European directive.

Before installing a child seat in the front seat (if fitting is permitted)

If the passenger seat is fitted with one, 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.

Refer to the Child safety equipment booklet available from the RENAULT Network to choose the seat suited to your child and recommended for your vehicle.
