Note: an object placed on the passenger seat base may activate the warning light in some cases.

Rear seat belt reminder

The number of rear seat belts fastened will appear on the instrument panel for approximately 30 seconds each time: – the vehicle is started; – a door is opened; – a rear seat belt is fastened or unfas

SEAT BELTS (continued)

The following information applies to 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.

For special cases (eg. fitting child seats) contact your RENAULT Dealer.

– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (eg. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may

cause injury in the event of an accident. – 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 lap with your seat belt around

them. – The belt should never be twisted. – Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as

they show any signs of wear. – When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used

properly.

1.22

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

Depending on the vehicle, they are composed of:

– seat belt inertia reel pretension

ers;

– lap belt pretensioners;

– chest-level load limiters;

– 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.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger:

– seat belt locking; – the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt slack);

– the lap seat belt pretensioners to

hold the occupant in his seat; – the low volume front air bag; – the large volume front air bag.

Pretensioners

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.

In the event of a severe frontal impact and if the ignition is switched on, the system may engage the following de pending on the force of the impact:

– seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

which instantly retracts the seat belt;

– piston

2 on the front seats.

– 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 personnel from an approved dealer may work on the pretensioner and air bag system.

– The electric trigger system may

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

– When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact an approved dealer for disposal of the pretensioner and air bag gas generators.

Load 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.

Air bags for driver and front passenger

Fitted to the driver and passenger side. The presence of this equipment is indi

cated by the word “air bag” on the steer ing wheel and the dashboard (air bag zone A) and a label on the lower part of the windscreen or on the sun visor.

Each air bag system consists of: – an air bag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger;

– an electronic unit for system monitor

ing which controls the gas generator electrical trigger system;

– one single warning light å on

the instrument panel;

– remote sensors for the device.

ate 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 immediately and this may cause some minor, su perficial grazing to the skin or other problems.

The air bag system uses

pyrotechnic principles. This

Special feature of the front air bag

After a violent impact, it has two deployment volumes and integrates a ventila tion system:

– small volume air bag, this is the first

stage of operation;

– large volume air bag, the air bag

seams rip so that a larger volume of gas is released into the bag (for the most severe impacts).

1.25

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.

Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag

– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.

– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances. – Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss. – The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from the RENAULT network). – When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting

your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger air bag

– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag. – Do not place anything 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 occur. In

general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).

– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure

the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS

THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

(Refer to the information on “Front passenger air bag deactivation” in Section 1).

1.26

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTS

Depending on the vehicle, they are composed of:

– seat belt pretensioners built into

the inertia reels,

– force limiter.

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

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

– protection is provided by the seat

belt only;

– the pretensioner is triggered to rec

tify seat belt slack.

Rear seat belt pretensioners

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

If the vehicle is subjected to a severe frontal impact, a device retracts the seat belt, pulling the seat belt tight against the body and thus improving its effectiveness.

– Have the entire restraint
