To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use
RENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for your
vehicle and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will
provide a warranty.
CHILD SAFETY (continued)
The right choice
Your vehicle is fitted with the Isofix
system, approved in accordance with
the ECE 14 and ECE 16 regulations.
The safety of your children is also
your responsibility.
To ensure that your child has the
maximum possible protection, we
recommend that you use Isofix seats
approved by the RENAULT
Network.
Refer to the information on the
Isofix system for securing child seats
in Section 1.
Restraint systems for all the
categories are available. These
systems have been developed in
consultation with the manufacturers
and have been tested in RENAULT
vehicles.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer and
ask him to help you install it.
Categories 0 and 0+ (from 0 to
13 kg)
A child’s neck is very susceptible to
injury up to the age of two. It is
preferable to put your child into a
rear-facing enclosing shell seat. This
position enhances safety.
Category 1 (from 9 kg to 18 kg)
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a
child’s pelvis is not fully developed.
Restraints using the vehicle’s seat
belts are not adequate and there is a
risk that the child will sustain
abdominal injuries in the event of a
frontal impact. Use a seat which
restrains the child by means of a
harness.
Place the back of the child seat
firmly against the vehicle seatback.
Adjust the height of the head
restraint or remove it if necessary.

at the anchorage points
(gravel, rags, toys, etc).
 Always remember to fasten the seat belts on child seats for all
journeys.
CHILD SAFETY (continued)
ISOFIX child seat mounting
system
To find out which seats are fitted
with this system, refer to the
information table on “seats suitable
for fitting child seats” at the
beginning of the information on
“child safety”.
The system comprises:
 two anchoring rings located between the seat base and the
seatback to attach the base of the
child seat;
 one ring located under the seat base to attach the child seat
seatback in the “rear-facing
position”;
 one ring located behind the seatback to fix the child seatback
in the “forward-facing position”
(only in the rear seats);
 a special RENAULT child seat fitted with two locks that hook
onto the two rings and a securing
strap to attach the child seat
seatback.
Only special RENAULT seats are
approved for this vehicle. To
purchase these seats, please
contact your RENAULT Dealer.
