Plip remote control range

This varies according to the environment. It is therefore important to take care when handling the Renault Card that you do not inadvertently lock or unlock the doors.

Renault Cards A and B are supplied by a battery which should be replaced when the battery warning light 5 no longer lights up (see “Renault Card: battery” paragraph in section 5)

Special note: for some vehicles, the Renault Card records settings selected by the card user: certain radio pre-sets, electrical seat adjustments (if stored), the position of the rear view mirrors, automatic air conditioning settings, etc. It is therefore recommended that you keep the same Renault Card at all times so that you can recall your personal settings.

This could lead to the

engine being started or

the electrical equipment

being operated, for exam

ple the electric windows could

trap part of the body (neck, arms,

hands, etc.). Risk of serious

injury.

When driving, it is possible to adjust the driving position but not to proceed to driving position recall.

1.22

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.

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 pressure of the

lap belt on the abdomen is not

excessive.

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 for you to be able to press in 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 restraint. For maximum safety your head should be as near as possible to the head restraint.

•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.

1

2

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.

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

The lap strap 2 should be held firmly over the thighs and against the pelvis.

The belt should be worn so that it is as close to the body as possible, i.e. avoid wearing heavy clothing or having bulky objects under the belts.

1.23
