ENGINE IMMOBILISER (continued)
If the RENAULT card is faulty (card
reader flashing rapidly), if possible
use the second RENAULT card
(supplied with the vehicle).
In this situation, it is essential to
contact a RENAULT Dealer who is
the only one qualified to repair the
engine immobiliser system.
If there is interference and/or the
hands-free RENAULT card is not
recognised, insert it into the card
reader 2.
Operating fault warning light
After attempting to start the engine,
if the warning light continues to
flash or remains on continuously,
this indicates that there is a system
operating fault.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact,
this mechanism is used to limit the
force of the belt against the body so
that it is at an acceptable level.
Driver and passenger airbags
Fitted to the driver and passenger
side.
The word “Airbag” on the steering
wheel and the dashboard (airbag
zone A) and an airbag marking in the
lower section of the windscreen
indicate the presence of this
equipment.
Each airbag system consists of:
- an airbag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
- an intelligent computer for both systems, which includes an impact
sensor and a monitor controlling
the electrical trigger system for the
gas generator;
- a single
åwarning light on the
instrument panel;
- an advanced frontal sensor completes this system. The airbag system uses the
principles of pyrotechnics. This
explains why, when the airbag
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 airbag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor,
superficial grazing to the skin or
other problems.
