 Following an accident, itis necessary to have the
entire restraint system
checked by a qualified
technician.
 No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the
system (pretensioners, airbags,
computers, wiring) and the
system components must not be
reused on any other vehicle, even
if identical.
 To avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Renault
Network personnel may work on
the pretensioner and airbag
system.
 Testing of the electrical trigger system may only be carried out
by a specially trained technician
using suitable equipment.
 When the vehicle is scrapped, contact your RENAULT Dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
airbag gas generators.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
These are:
■ buckle pretensioners,
■ lap pretensioners (five-door
version only),
■ thorax load limiters,
■ driver and passenger front
airbags,
■ anti-submarining airbags (three-
door version only).
These systems are designed to act
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
- seat belt locking;
- the buckle pretensioner (which engages to correct seat belt slack);
- the lap belt pretensioner or the anti-submarining airbag to keep
the occupant in their seat, the “low
volume” frontal airbag and load
limiters;
- the “large volume” frontal airbag.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the
occupant more securely against the
seat, thus increasing the seat belt’s
efficiency.
With the ignition switched on, if
there is a severe frontal impact and
depending on the force of the
impact, the system may engage the:
- piston 1which instantly retracts
the seat belt;
- piston 2on the front seats (for the
five door version),
or
- the anti-submarining airbag (for the three door version).

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.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)
A booster seat with a height-
adjustable seatback and a belt guide
are recommended as this will allow
the belt to be worn as close to the
base of the neck as possible but not
on it.
Place the back of the child seat
firmly against the vehicle seatback.
Adjust the height of the head
restraint or remove it if necessary.
If a booster seat without a seatback
is used, the vehicle’s headrest will
have to be adjusted to suit the
child’s stature; the upper edge of the
headrest must be at the same height
as the top of the child’s head and
should never be lower than in line
with the child’s eyes.
Category 2 (15 kg to 25 kg) and
category 3 (22 kg to 36 kg)
To correctly secure the child’s pelvis
under 10 years, a height under 1.36
m and a weight of less than 36 kg.
Use a booster seat with belt guides
to ensure that the three-point belt
lies flat over the child’s thighs.The standard classifies the child
restraints in five categories:
Category 0 : 0 to 10 kg
Category 0+ : 0 to 13 kg
Category 1 : 9 to 18 kg
Category 2 : 15 to 25 kg
Category 3 : 22 to 36 kg

CHILD SAFETY (continued)
CHILD SAFETY
 No modifications may be made to the original component parts of the rest\
raint system (belts and seats and theirmountings).
 Carefully follow the instructions for fitting provided by the manufactur\
er of the restraint system.
 Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any o\
bjects between the child and the restraint system.
 The seat belt in the vehicle must be tight enough to hold the child’s seat in position securely. Check the tension regularly.
 Never wear the belt under your arm or behind your back.
 The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child’s size.
 Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the vehic\
le is moving.
 Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when they are asleep.
 Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occ\
upied. Otherwise, if an accident were to occur, it may become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.
 Following a serious accident, check the seat belts or the ISOFIX seat mo\
unting and replace the child seat.
 Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if they are in a res\
training device.
 Lock the rear doors (if your vehicle is equipped with the function).
 Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where th\
ere is traffic.
 Set your children a good example; always wear your seat belt.

ELECTRIC SUNROOF (continued)
Remote closure of the sunroof
(on vehicles equipped with the one-
touch window function on all the
windows).
When you lock the doors with the
Hands-free RENAULT card and
press the locking button on the
RENAULT card or a door handle
button or the luggage compartment
button twice in quick succession,
the windows and the sunroof close
automatically.

For your safety your vehicle is fitted
with an anti-pinch function. When a
window encounters resistance
whilst closing (someone’s fingers, an
animal’s paw or the branch of a tree,
for example), it stops and lowers by
several centimetres.
It is therefore recommended that the
user only operates the system when
the vehicle can be seen clearly and
no one is inside the vehicle.

operate the sunroof.
Before using the sunroof, check the
objects and/or accessories (bike
racks, roof box etc.) attached to the
roof rack bars: they should be
properly arranged and secured and
should not interfere with the
operation of the sunroof.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer for
details of possible adaptations;
- check that the sunroof is properly
closed before leaving your vehicle;
- clean the seal every three months
using agents selected by our
technical department;
- Do not open the sunroof
immediately after the vehicle has
been in the rain or after it has been
washed.
