FRONT SEATS
To move forwards or backwards:
Lift lever2to unlock the seat.
Release the lever when the seat is in
the required position and ensure it
is locked in place.
To raise or lower the driver’s seat:
Lift lever1.To tilt the seatback:
Move handle4and tilt the seat to
the required position.
To adjust the lumbar support on the
driver’s seat:
Turn wheel3.So that the effectiveness of
the seat belts is not
reduced, we would advise
you not to recline the
seatbacks excessively.
Make sure the seatback is locked in
place correctly.
No objects should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as
such objects may slide under the
pedal during braking manoeuvres,
thus obstructing its use.
For safety reasons, adjust
the seats only when the
vehicle is stationary.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
Side air bags
This air bag may be fitted to the
front seats and is activated at the
sides of the seats (door side) to
protect the occupants in the event of
a severe side impact.
The markings1on the windscreen
will remind you of the presence of
this equipment.This system will only operate if a
severe side impact occurs.Warnings concerning the
side air bag
• Fitting seat covers:Seats
equipped with an air bag
require special covers
specifically designed for your
vehicle. Consult your Renault
Dealer to see if appropriate
covers are available from Renault
outlets. The use of any covers
other than those designed for
your vehicle (and including
those designed for another
vehicle) may affect the operation
of these air bags and reduce your
protection.
• Do not place any accessories,
objects and animals between the
seatback and the door. This may
prevent the air bag from
operating correctly or cause
injury if the air bag is deployed.
• No work or modification
whatsoever may be carried out
on the seat, except by qualified
Renault Network personnel.

CHILD SAFETY: ISOFIX
Isofix - mounting system for
child seats
This is a new procedure for
installing a child seat. It can be used
on the rear side seat positions of the
vehicle.
It consists of the following
components:
• Two anchoring rings1per seat
located between the seat and the
seatback.
• A special Renault child seat fitted
with two catches3which hook
onto the two rings.
• When the seat is supplied with
fitting guides2, these will make it
easier to fit the seat onto the
anchoring rings. These guides
have to be fitted onto the
anchoring rings (as shown in the
illustration opposite).• Make sure that there
is nothing obstructing
the seat mounting
mechanism at the
anchorage points (gravel, rags,
toys, etc.).
• Always remember to fasten the
seat belt on child seats for all
journeys.Only the specific Renault seat is
type approved for this vehicle.
Please contact your Renault Dealer
to purchase this seat.
This seat is used as a rear-facing
seat for children up to the age of
approximately 18 months and then
as a front-facing seat up to the age
of four. It is equipped with two
retractable catches which can be
secured with the Isofix
attachments provided for Renault
vehicles. It can also be fitted
conventionally in other vehicles
(without catches) using a
three-point seat belt.

CHILD SAFETY(continued)
The right choice
The safety of your children is also
your responsibility.
To give your children maximum
protection, we recommend that you
use seats obtained from a Renault
Dealer.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
Isofix system, it is preferable to use
an Isofix seat. (Refer to the
information in section 1 on the
Isofix system of child seats.)
Restraint systems for all categories
are available. These systems have
been developed in consultation
with the manufacturers and have
been tested in Renault vehicles.
Take the advice of your Renault
Dealer and ask him to help you to
install it.
Category O and O+
A child’s neck is very susceptible to
injury up to the age of two. In a
front-facing seat there is a risk that a
child will sustain neck injuries in
the event of a frontal collision.
Renault therefore recommends a
rear-facing seat with a harness that
gives all-round protection (figure 1).
Category 1
Betweentheagesof2and4,achild’s
pelvis is not fully developed.
Restraints using three-point belts are
not adequate and there is a risk that
the child will sustain abdominal
injuries in the event of a frontal
collision. It is therefore advisable to
use rear-facing seats (figure 1), bucket
type seats (figure 2) or seats with
harnesses.

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.
