■ force limiter,

■ driver and front passenger

airbags (described on the following pages).

Thesesystemsareprovidedtoact 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 airbag and the force limiter are also triggered when there are severe impacts.

Frontseatbeltpretensioners

This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.

If the vehicle is subject to a severe frontal impact, piston 1 immediately retracts the seat belt buckle pulling the seat belt tight against the body and thereby improving its efficiency.

• After an accident, have theentirerestraint system checked

• No work whatsoever may be performed on the pretensioner system (computer, wiring, etc.).

• Only qualified RENAULT personnel may work on the pretensioner system; otherwise the system may trigger accidentally and cause injury.
