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 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
eventuality, 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
removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your
back is positioned correctly.
-Adjusting the distance between
theseatandthepedals.
Your seat should be as far back as
possible while still allowing you
to be able to fully depress the
clutch pedal. The seatback should
be adjusted so that your arms are
slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel.
-Adjusting the position of your
headrest.
For safety reasons, the top of your
head should be in line with the top
of the headrest.
-Adjusting 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.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap 1should be as close
to the base of your neck as possible
but not on it.
The lap strap 2should be worn flat
over your thighs and against your
pelvis.
The seat belt should be worn as
close to your body as possible;
avoid wearing clothes that are too
thick, or holding any objects that
could obstruct the seat belt, etc.

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
These are:
Seat belt pretensioners
Force limiter.
Airbags for driver and
passenger.
These systems are designed to act
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
There are three possibilities,
depending on the force of the
impact:
- protection is provided by the belt
only;
- the pretensioner is triggered to
rectify belt position and take up
play in the belt;
- the airbag and the force limiter are
also triggered when there are
severe impacts.
Side airbags are provided to
activate in the event of severe
side impacts.
Front seat belt pretensioners
The system is not operational until
a few seconds after the ignition has
been switched on.
In the event of a significant frontal
impact, a computer triggers the seat
belt buckle pretensioner igniter and
sets a piston 1in motion. This
piston immediately retracts the seat
belt buckle, pulling the seat belt
against the body and thereby
improving its efficiency.
- After an accident, have
the entire restraint
system checked
- No operation whatsoever is
permitted on any part of the
pretensioner system (computer,
wiring) and the system
components must not be reused
on any other vehicle, even if
identical.
- Only qualified RENAULT
personnel may work on the
pretensioner system; otherwise
the system may trigger
accidentally and cause injury.
- Testing of the electric trigger
system may only be carried out
by a specially trained technician
using special equipment.
- When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact your RENAULT Dealer
for disposal of the pretensioner
and airbag gas generators.

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS 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.
Driver and passenger airbags
These may be provided for the
driver and the front passenger.
Thepresenceofthisequipmentis
indicated by the words “Airbag” on
the steering wheel and the
dashboard, and a label on the base
of the windscreen or on the sun
visor.
Each airbag system consists of:
- an airbag 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 sensor
and a monitor controlling the
electrical trigger system for the gas
generator;
- A single warning light on
the instrument panel.
