CHILD SAFETY(continued)
In all countries there are regulations
governing the use of restraint
systems for children and babies.
In Europe, children under 12 years
ofage,lessthan1.50mtalland
weighing less than 36 kg
(1)must be
restrained with an approved
restraint adapted to the child's
weight and height.
The driver is responsible for
ensuring that this equipment is
used correctly.
Child restraints for which type
approval was obtained after January
1992 offer a level of safety much
greater than for restraints with type
approval before that date.
We therefore advise you to select an
approved child restraint that
complies with European regulation
ECE 44.
Restraints that comply with this
legislationmustbemarkedwithan
orange label bearing the letterE
followed by a number (which
stands for the country where it is an
approved type) and the year in
which the type approval was
granted.
(1) Always comply with the laws of the
country in which you are travelling.
They may be different to the
guidelines in this handbook.
Remember that a collision at
30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as
falling a distance of 10 metres.
Expressed in other terms,
transporting a child without a
restraint is the equivalent of
allowing him or her to play on a
third-floor balcony which does not
have any railings.
Under no circumstances
should babies or children
be allowed to travel sitting
on the knees of another
passenger in the vehicle.
If a head-on collision occurs at
30 mph (50 km/h) a child weighing
30 kg (66 lbs) will be transformed
into a missile equivalent to one
tonne: you will find it impossible
to hold the child, even if you
yourself are wearing a belt.
It is particularly dangerous to put
the belt round your child when he
or she is sitting on your knee.
Never use the same belt for more
than one person at the same time.The tables on the following pages
inform you of the types of seat that
can be fitted in each of the vehicle
seat positions on the vehicle in
accordance with the European
directive.
Before installing a child seat in the
front seat(if fitting is permitted)
If the passenger seat is fitted with
one, carry out the following
adjustments:
- pull back the seat as far as
possible,
- straighten the seatback as much as
possible,
- raise the seat squab as far as
possible,
- pull the headrest up to its
maximum position,
- move the seat belt height control
to the low position.
Refer to the Child safety equipment
booklet available from the
RENAULT Network to choose the
seat suited to your child and
recommended for your vehicle.
