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

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE(continued)
What you should do
•Wash your car frequently,
preferably using our
recommended cleaning products
and use a high-pressure jet to
rinse off the underside of the car
and the wheel arches in particular
to get rid of:
- Spots of tree resin and industrial
grime.
-Bird droppingswhich contain
chemical products which
rapidly discolour paintwork
and may even cause the paint to
peel off:the vehicle must be
washed immediately to remove
thesemarkssinceitis
impossible to remove them by
polishing.
- Salt deposited in the wheel
arches and underneath the body
after driving in areas where the
roads are chemically treated.
- Mud in the wheel arches and
under the body which forms
damp patches.• Keep well away from the vehicle
in front when driving on freshly
laid surfaces to prevent paint
damage.
• Repair, or have repaired quickly
patches where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading.
• If your vehicle is protected by the
Renault anti-corrosion warranty,
remember to visit the body shop
periodically. Consult the
anti-corrosion booklet.
• Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not
wash your vehicle on a public
highway).• Check the fixing of external
accessories, additional driving
lights, exterior rear view mirrors,
etc. and attach the windscreen
wiper arms and radio aerial with
adhesive tape before entering a
revolving brush type car wash.
If your vehicle has a car phone,
remove the aerial.
• If mechanical components have
to be cleaned, their protection
must be reapplied by spraying on
products approved by Renault’s
Technical Department.
We have selected special
products to care for your vehicle
and you can obtain these from
Renault accessory outlets.

ACCESSORIES
Using mobile phones and
CB equipment
Mobile phones and CB
equipment with integrated
aerials may cause interference to
the original electronic systems
fitted to the vehicle: it is advisable
only to use equipment with an
external aerial.
Also, for your own safety, we
would advise you always to take
account of traffic conditions and
not to use this type of equipment
when you are driving.After-sales installation of
electric or electronic
accessories
•Anyworkontheelectric
circuit of the vehicle must be
carried out by Renault network
engineers: if the system is
connected incorrectly, it may
result in damage being caused to
the electrical installation and/or
the units connected to it.
• If the vehicle is retrofitted with
any electrical equipment, make
sure that the unit is correctly
protected by a fuse. Ask for
information on the rating and
position of this fuse.
After-sales installation of
non-electrical accessories (roof
bars, towing attachments, etc.)
Accessories approved by Renault
are based on a strict specification
and are regularly tested. We would
recommend that you use approved
accessories (particularly where
these affect safety) because they are
particularly reliable and
appropriate for your vehicle.
