Lift lever2to unlock the seat.
Release the lever in the required
position and ensure that the seat
is locked in place.
To raise or lower the driver's
seat:
Move lever1.To incline the seatback:
Move lever4and tilt the seatback

To adjust the lumbar support of the
driver’s seat
Turn tumblewheel3.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the seats when the
vehicle is stationary.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.

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 adjust your seat belt to
provide maximum protection.
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 that your lumbar vertebrae
are in the correct position.
•Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals.Yo u r s e a t
should be as far back as possible
for you to be able to press in the
clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your
arms are slightly bent when you
hold the steering wheel.
•Adjust the position of your head
restraint.For maximum safety
yourheadshouldbeasnearas
possible to the head restraint.
•Adjusttheheightoftheseat.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.
Thebeltshouldbewornsothatitis
as close to the body as possible, i.e.
avoid wearing heavy clothing or
having bulky objects under the
belts.

Above a certain severity of
impact, this mechanism is used
to limit the force of the belt
againstthebodysothatitisatan
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. They
must be replaces after 10 years
and after operation. This must
only be carried out by a Renault
dealer.
Theseatbeltpretensionersand
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.
Air bags
for driver and front passenger
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
passenger's side sun visor indicate
that the vehicle is equipped with air
bags.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS(continued)
Airbagfordriverandfront
passenger
(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 positionM“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.
Theairbagsystemusesthe
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.

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.
