KEYS/RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROLS: general information

Radio frequency remote control range

This varies according to the environment. It is therefore important when handling the remote control to ensure that you do not lock or unlock the ve hicle by inadvertently pressing the but tons.

Note: on certain vehicles, if a door is not opened within approximately 30 seconds of the door being unlocked by remote control, the doors will lock again automatically.

Interference

The presence of certain objects (metal objects, mobile telephones, or an area with strong electromagnetic radiation, etc.) close to the key may create inter ference and affect the operation of the system.

If you lose your keys or need another set of keys (or a remote con trol unit), contact your RENAULT Dealer.

– If you need to replace a key it will

be necessary to take the vehicle and all its keys to your RENAULT Dealer in order to initialise the whole system.

– No more than four remote control

units may be used for one vehi cle.

If the remote control will not operate:

Make sure that the correct battery type is being used, and that the battery is in good condition and in serted correctly. These batteries should have a service life of approx imately two years.

In this case, refer to the informa tion on the “Radio frequency remote control: batteries”, in Section 5.

SEAT BELTS

Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the par ticular country you are in.

Before starting: – first ensure that your driving posi

tion is correctly adjusted,

– then adjust your seat belt to pro

vide maximum protection.

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

Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this case, ensure that the lap belt is not exert ing too much pressure on the abdo men without allowing any slack.

Adjusting your driving position

– Sit well back in your seat (having

first removed your coat or jacket). 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 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 head

rest.

For safety reasons, the top of the headrest must be level with the top of the head.

– Adjust the height of the seat.

This adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible view.

– Adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

1.15

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

These are:

– Front seat belt pretensioners.

– Force limiter.

– Air bags for driver and front pas

senger.

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

There are three possibilities, de pending on the level of impact force: – protection is provided by the seat

belt only;

– the pretensioner is triggered to

rectify belt position and take up seat belt slack;

– the air bag and the force limiter

are also triggered when there are severe impacts.

– Side air bags are provided to deploy

in the event of severe side impacts.

Front seat belt pretensioners

With the ignition switched on, if the vehicle is subject to a significant frontal impact the system may, depending on the severity of the impact, trigger pis ton 1 which instantly retracts the belt.

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.

– 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 RENAULT Network personnel may work on the pre tensioner and air bag system.

– The ignition module electrical

specifications may only be tested by a specially trained technician using special equipment.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the pretensioner and air bag gas generators.

1.16

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

Force limiter

Above a certain level of impact force, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.

Air bags for driver and front passenger

An “Air bag” marking on the steering wheel and dashboard and a label on the lower section of the windscreen inform you of the presence of additional means of restraint (air bags, preten sioners, etc.) in the passenger com partment.

The air bag system consists of: – for the driver: an adaptable air bag

and its two gas generators (for the small or large volume bag depending on the severity of the frontal impact) mounted on the steering wheel;

– for the passenger: an air bag and its

gas generator mounted in the dash board.

Note: this passenger air bag is adaptable for right-hand drive ver sions.

– a computer for both systems, which

includes the impact detector and a monitor controlling the electrical trig ger system for the gas generators;

– a single å tell-tale light on the

instrument panel.

The air bag system uses pyrotechnic principles. This explains why,

when the air bag inflates, it will gen erate 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 im mediately and this may cause some minor, superficial grazing to the skin or other problems.

1.17

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

Operation

The system is not operational until a few seconds after the ignition has been switched on.

If a severe bag(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 dash board. The air bag(s) then deflate(s) immediately so that the passengers are not impeded in any way as they exit the vehicle.

Operating faults

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

If it does not light up when the igni tion 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 remains lit after the ignition has been switched on again, there is a fault

in the system. It is not recommended to let a passen

ger use this seat. Contact your RENAULT Dealer as soon

as possible.

1.18

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

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.

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 the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the occupants of the vehicle are at risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. The risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed may also increase, 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.

Impacts to the underside of the vehicle from pavements, holes, stones etc. can all trigger these systems.

– 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 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 RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

All the warnings below are given so that air bag activation is not ob structed in any way and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dis lodged when the air bag inflates.

1.20

Warnings concerning passenger air bag: location

– Do not attach or glue any objects (badges, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.)

onto the front passenger side of the dashboard.

– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, um

brella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
