KEY/RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL: general information (continued)
Radio frequency remote
control range
This varies according to the environment. It is therefore important when
handling the remote control to ensure
that you do not lock or unlock the vehicle by inadvertently pressing the buttons.
Note: on certain vehicles, if a door is
not opened within approximately 2 minutes of the door being unlocked by
remote control, the doors will lock again
automatically.
Interference
The presence of certain objects (metal
objects, mobile telephones, or an area
with strong electromagnetic radiation,
etc.) close to the key may create interference and affect the operation of the
system.
If you lose your keys or need another set of keys (or a remote control unit), contact your RENAULT
Dealer.
– If you need to replace a key it will
be necessary to take the vehicle
and all its keys to your RENAULT
Dealer in order to initialise the
whole system.
– No more than four remote control
units may be used for one vehicle.
If the remote control will not
operate:
Make sure that the batteries are
always in good condition; they have
a service life of approximately two
years.
In this case, refer to the information on the “Radio frequency remote
control: batteries”, in Section 5.

SEAT BELTS
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:
– First ensure that your driving po-
sition is correct;
– then adjust your seat belt to pro-
vide 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 lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen but do not allow any slack.
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 position of the steering
wheel.

Slowly unwind belt 1.
Click buckle 2 into the catch 3.
Check that the rear seat
belts are positioned and operating correctly each time
the rear seats are moved.
SEAT BELTS
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.
– Do not use devices which give any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.), as a seat belt which is worn too
loosely risks causing 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.
– When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used prop-
erly.
– If necessary, readjust the position and tension of the belt.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
1.19
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
These are:
– Pretensioners;
– force limiters;
– air bags for driver and front pas-
senger;
– side air bags (depending on vehi-
cle).
These systems are designed to operate
independently or together in the event
of a front, side or rear 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 air bags.
Pretensioners
With the ignition switched on, if the vehicle is subjected to a significant frontal
impact the system may, depending on
the severity of the impact, trigger piston 1 which instantly retracts the belt.
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus increasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
– 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.
1
– 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 ignition module electrical
specifications 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.
1.20
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.
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
bag zone
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;
– a computer for both systems, which
includes the impact detector and the
monitor controlling the electrical trigger system for each of the gas generators;
– depending on the vehicle, an addi-
tional side impact detector;
– a single å warning light on the
instrument panel.
A) and a label on the lower
The air bag system uses pyrotechnic
principles. This explains why, when
the air bag deploys, 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 deploy immediately
and this may cause some minor, superficial injuries or other problems.

Operation
The air bag system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
air bag(s) deploy(s) rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver’s head and
chest against the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers are
not impeded in any way when they get
out of the vehicle.

Operating faults
Warning light 2 will light up on the instrument panel when the ignition is
switched on and then go out after a few
seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition is
switched on, or comes on continuously
when the engine is running, there is a
fault in the system.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be reduced until this fault is rectified.

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.
A
– 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 (refer to 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.
All of the warnings below are given
so that the air bag is not obstructed
in any way when it is deployed and
also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be
dislodged when the air bag deploys.
Warnings concerning passenger air bag: location
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badges, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.)
onto the front passenger side of the dashboard.
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, um-
brella, 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.).
– You should reactivate the passenger air bag as soon as you remove the child
seat to ensure the protection of the front 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 “Deactivating the front
passenger air bags” in Section 1).
