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,

SEAT BELTS
The following information applies to both the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.
• No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their
mountings) fitted originally.
For special applications (e.g. fitting child seats) consult your Renault Dealer.
• Do not use any devices which give any play in the belts (clothes pegs, clips, for example). A seat belt that is worn too
loosely may cause injuries in the event of an accident.
• Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
• Do not use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your knees with your seat belt
around them.
• The belt should never be twisted.
• Following a serious accident the seat belts in use at the time must be replaced. Likewise, have your seat belts replaced
as soon as they show any signs of wear.
• When refitting the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used
properly.
• If necessary, re-adjust the position and tension of the belt.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS(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
aseveresideimpact.
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(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
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a
child’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.
