METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
All the warnings given below are
designed to ensure that the air bag
can inflate correctly and to prevent
serious injuries caused by items
which may be dislodged when the
air bag inflates.Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
•Do not modify either the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
• Do not cover the steering wheel boss.
• Do not attach any objects (pin, logo, clock, telephone support, etc.) to the
steering wheel boss.
• The steering wheelmust notbe removed (except by qualified personnel
within the Renault network).
• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightly
bent (see information on “Adjusting your driving position” in section 1), it
will ensure that there is sufficient space for the air bag to inflate properly
and to be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag: location1
•Do not attach or affix with adhesive any objects (pin, logo, clock, telephone
support, etc.) on the dashboard near where the air bag is located:
• Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (animal,
umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
• The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard as there is a
risk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep all parts
of the body (knees, hands, heads, etc.) well away from the dashboard.
A REAR-FACING CHILD/BABY SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED
TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED
WITH A PASSENGER AIR BAG.

CHILD SAFETY
Fitting a child seat
•Before fitting and using the seat,
read the instructions provided
carefully.
• Hold the seat in position so that
the catches3on the seat are
opposite the two rings1fitted to
the side rear seat concerned. (If
the seat is equipped with fitting
guides2, place them over the
rings1to make installation
easier.)• Latch the hooks onto the rings
and make sure it is locked in place
properly by moving it forwards
and backwards and from right to
left.
• Push on the base of the seat firmly
to bring it into contact with the
seatback and make sure it is
securely in position.

CHILD SAFETY(continued)
CHILD SAFETY
• No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their
mountings) fitted originally.
• The fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system should be followed carefully.
• Avoid wearing bulky clothing and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.
• The seat belt on the vehicle must be taut so that the child’s seat is held in position securely. Check the tension
regularly.
• Never wear the belt under the arm or behind the back.
• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child’s stature.
• Never allow your child to stand or kneel on the seat when the vehicle is moving.
• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when he or she is asleep.
• Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, it may
become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.
• Following a serious accident, have an inspection made of the seat belts and restraint systems fitted at the time.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if he or she is in a child seat.
• Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with these).
• Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.
• Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.
