and automatic transmission oils.
These are very high-technology
lubricants stimulated by applied
research in Formula One.
This range is updated with RENAULT’s
engineering teams to perfectly meet the
specific needs of RENAULT vehicles.
Ź ELF lubricants are a major factor in your
vehicle’s performance.

sEAT BELTs
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 exerting too much pressure on the abdomen but do not allow any slack.
Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.
Before starting the vehicle:
–
first ensure that your driving posi-
tion is correctly adjusted,
–
then adjust your seat belt to pro-
vide maximum protection.
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. Refer to the information on
the Steering wheel in section
1
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The
shoulder strap 1 should be as close
as possible to the base of the neck but
not on it.
The
lap strap 2 should be worn flat over
the thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close as possible to your body, i.e.:
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects under the belts, etc.

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 (e.g. fitting child seats) contact your RENAULT Dealer.
–
Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. 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 a serious accident, the seat belts in use at the time must be replaced. Always replace your seat belts as soon as
they show any signs of wear.
–
If necessary, readjust the position and tension of the belt.
– Make sure that the seat belt buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.

Depending on the vehicle, they will consist of:
–
buckle pretensioners,
– chest-level load limiters,
– air bags for driver and front pas
-
senger,
–
anti-submarining air bags.
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 buckle pretensioner (which en
-
gages to correct seat belt slack);
–
the anti-submarining air bag to keep
occupants in their seat, the front low
volume air bag and the load limiters;
–
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 increasing 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 depending on the force of the impact:
–
the piston 1 which immediately re-
tracts the seat belt;
–
the anti-submarining air bag.
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
–
No operation whatsoever 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 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 your RENAULT 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 in-
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the
steering wheel and the dashboard (air
b
ag zone A) and a label on the lower
part of the windscreen.
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 intelligent computer for both sys-
tems, which includes an impact
sensor and a monitor controlling the
electrical trigger system for the gas
generator;
– a single tell-tale light
å on the
instrument panel.
The air bag system uses pyrotechnic
principles. 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, it will inflate immediately and
this may cause some minor, superficial injuries or other problems.
