METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS(continued)
All the warnings below are given so
that, if the air bag is activated, it is
notobstructedinanywayandalso
to prevent the risk of 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(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.

the seat is fitted with installation
guides1, slide each guide around
the anchoring ring2).• Latch the hooks onto the rings
and make sure the seat is locked
in place properly by moving it
forwards and backwards and from
right to left.
• Pushonthebaseoftheseatfirmly
to bring it into contact with the
seatback and make sure it is
securely in position.

STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Starting the engine
In the case of an automatic
transmission
Refer to the information on
automatic transmissions in section 2.
Special feature on vehicles equipped
with an engine immobiliser system
In very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the
ignition for several secondsbefore
starting the engine.
Make sure the engine immobiliser is
not activated (see section 1 on the
engine immobiliser).
Petrol injection
Turn the key to the “start” position
without accelerating.
Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.If there is a child (or
animal) in the car, never
leave it unattended with
the key in the ignition.
With the key in the ignition it
would be possible to operate
electrical equipment such as the
windows and there is a risk that the
child may be seriously injured (by
trapping his or her neck, arm,
hand, etc.).
Never switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has stopped completely.
Once the engine has stopped, the
power steering, brake servo and
passive safety devices such as air
bags and pretensioners will no
longer operate. When the key has
been removed, the steering will
lock.
Stopping the engine
With the engine at idling, turn the key
back to the “stop” position.
