METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
These are:
■ Front seat belt pretensioners
(described below).
■ Force limiter.
■ Air bags for driver and front
passenger (described on the
following pages).
These systems are provided to
act separately or together when
the vehicle is subjected to a
frontal impact.
Therearethreesituations,
depending on the force of the
impact:
- protection is provided by the
belt only;
- the pretensioner is triggered to
rectify belt position and play;
- if the air bag and force limiter
are triggered,they provide
additional protection in the
eventof the most severeimpact.

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 relating to the
service life of air bags
and pretensioners
in air bags and pretensioners
The pyrotechnic systems
have a limited service life. These
systems must be replaced each
time they are activated but at the
latest after they have been in
service for ten years. This work
must always be undertaken by a
Renault Dealer.
The seat belt pretensioners and
the air bag operate together. If
one of the systems has passed the
date when it is due for renewal,it
will alter the overall safety
protection provided.
Driver and passenger air bag
An air bag may be provided for both
the driver and the front passenger.
“Air bag” inscriptions onthe
steeringwheelanddashboard
together with a label on the lower
part of the windscreen indicate that
the vehicle is equipped with an air
bag.
1.24
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)
1
Driver and passenger
air bag
Each air bag system consists of:
- An air bag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the
driverand in the dashboard for the
front passenger.
- A computer for both systems,
whichincludestheimpact
detector and a monitor controlling
the electrical trigger system for the
gas generator.
- One single tell-tale light on the
instrument panel 1.
(continued)
Operation
The system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on
(ignition key in position M “ignition
on”).
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
air bag(s) inflate(s) (in approximately
30 milliseconds), cushioning the
impact of the driver's head against
the steering wheel and the front
passenger'sheadagainstthe
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately following the impact so
that the passengers are not impeded
in any way when they get out of the
vehicle.
The air bag system uses the
principles of pyrotechnics. This
explains why, when the air bag
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 air bag is
required,itmustinflate
immediately and this may cause
some minor, superficial grazing to
the skin.
Operating faults
Tell-tale light 1 illuminates on the
instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then extinguishes
after a few seconds.
If it does not illuminate when the
ignition is turned on or if it flashes,
there is a fault in the system.
Consult your Renault Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be
reduceduntilthis problem is
rectified.
