specific equipment.Consult your Renault Dealer.
(1)Special note concerning vehicles used at full load(maximum permissible all-up weight and weight towed)and towing
a vehicle:
The maximum speed must be limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre inflation pressure increased by0.2 bar.

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.

SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your car. You must also
comply with the local legislation in
the particular country you are in.
Before driving off:
- First ensure that your driving
position is correct.
- Then, to provide maximum
safety, adjust your seat belt
correctly.
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 pressure of the
lap belt on the abdomen is not
excessive.Adjusting your driving position
• Sit with your back firmly against
the seatback.
This is essential to ensure your
lumbar vertebrae are in the
correct position.
•Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals.
Your seat should be as far back as
possible to allow you to press the
clutch pedal fully down. The
seatback should be adjusted so
that your arms remain slightly
bent.
•Adjust the position of the head
restraint.
For maximum safety, your head
should be as close as possible to
the head restraint.
•Adjust 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.
The shoulder strap1should be as
close to the base of the neck as
possible but not on it.
The lap strap2should be held
firmly over the thighs and against
the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close to the body as possible, i.e.
avoid wearing heavy clothing or
having bulky objects under the
belts.

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.
Warning relating to the
service life of air bags
and pretensioners
The pyrotechnic systems
in air bags and pretensioners
have a limited service life. These
systems must be replaced each
time they are activated but at the
latest after they have been in
service for ten years. This work
must always be undertaken by a
Renault Dealer.
The seat belt pretensioners and
the air bag operate together. If
one of the systems has passed the
date when it is due for renewal, it
will alter the overall safety
protection provided.
Driver and passenger air bag
An air bag may be provided for both
the driver and the front passenger.
“Air bag” inscriptions on the
steering wheel and dashboard
together with a label on the lower
part of the windscreen indicate that
the vehicle is equipped with an air
bag.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
Driver and passenger
air bag (continued)
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 a monitor controlling
the electrical trigger system for the
gas generator;
- One single tell-tale light1on the
instrument panel.Operation
The system is only operational after
the ignition has been turned on
(ignition key in position“M”
ignition on).
If a severefrontalimpact occurs, the
air bag(s) inflate(s) in approximately
30 millisecond(s), cushioning the
impact of the driver’s head 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.
The air bag system uses the
principles of pyrotechnics. 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 must inflate
immediately and this may cause
some minor, superficial grazing to
the skin.Operating fault
Tell-tale light1illuminates on the
instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then extinguishes
after a few seconds.
If it does not illuminate when the
ignition is turned on or if it flashes,
there is a fault in the system.
Consult your Renault Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be
reduced until this problem is
rectified.
