To avoid hindering the
efficient operation of the
seat belts, you are advised
to keep the seat belt on your
shoulder.
Make sure that the seatback is
locked in place correctly.
No objects should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as
these objects could slide under the
pedal during braking manoeuvres,
thus obstructing its use.
For safety reasons, make
these adjustments only
when the vehicle is
stationary.
FRONT SEATS
To move a seat forwards or
backwards
Lift handle 3on the door side to
unlock the seat. Release the handle
in the desired position and check
that the seat has locked in place
properly.
To tilt the seatback
Lift the handle on the centre console
side 1and tilt the seatback until it is
in the required position.
To adjust the driver’s seat height:
Move lever 2as many times as
necessary:
- upwards to raise the seat base,
- downwards to lower the seat base. To adjust the lumbar support on the
driver’s seat
Adjust control knob

SEAT BELTS (continued)
The following information applies to both the vehicle’s front and rea\
r seat belts.
 No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint syst\
em (belts and seats and their mountings) fitted originally.
For special cases (e.g. fitting child seats) contact your RENAULT Dealer.
 Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes peg\
s, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
 Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
 Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby o\
r child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
 The belt should never be twisted.
 Seat belts should be replaced after a serious accident. Always replace y\
our seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
 When refitting the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are co\
rrectly positioned so that they can be used properly.
 If necessary, readjust the position and tightness of the belt.
 Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate unit.

 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).

Warnings concerning the side airbag
 Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact your RENAULT
Dealer to find out if these covers may be purchased from RENAULT
accessory outlets. The use of any covers other than those designed for y\
our
vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may affect \
the
operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.
 Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback,\
the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items\
such
as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the airbag from operating
correctly or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.
 No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the internal fittings, except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.
 The slits in the front seatbacks (door side) and the space between the\
seatback, the rear bench seat and the trims correspond to the airbag
deployment zone: it is prohibited to place any objects in these location\
s.
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Side airbags
An airbag is fitted to each front seat
and, depending on the country, the
rear side seats, which are deployed
on the side of the seat (door side) to
protect the occupants in the case of
a severe side impact.
Curtain airbags
These are airbags fitted along the
sides of the vehicle in the ceiling
which trigger along the front and rear
side windows to protect the
passengers in case of a severe side
impact.
A marking on the windscreen
informs you of the presence of
additional means of restraint
(airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in
the passenger compartment.

Under no circumstances
should babies or children
be allowed to travel sitting
on the knees of another
passenger in the vehicle.
If a frontal impact occurs at 30 mph
(50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kg
will be transformed into a missile
equivalent to one ton: 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 lap. Never
use the belt for more than one
person at the same time.
CHILD SAFETY
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
fourth-floor balcony without
railings.In all countries there are regulations
governing the use of restraints for
children and babies.
In Europe, children under 10 years
of age
(1)must be seated in an
approved safety device which is
suitable for the weight and size of
the child.
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.
It is therefore advisable to select a
child restraint that complies with
European regulation ECE 44.
Restraints that comply with this
legislation must be marked with an
orange label bearing the letter E
followed by a number (which
represents the country where it is
type approved) and the year in
which the type approval was
granted.
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. There are some passenger seats on
which the installation of child seats
is forbidden.
To find the authorised seats and
types of child seats that can be
installed in each of the authorised
seats, refer to the table in the
following pages.
Before installing a child seat in the
front seat
(if installation is permitted)
If fitted to the passenger seat, carry
out the following adjustments:
- move the passenger seat as far back as possible,
- set the seatback to its fully upright position,
- raise the seat base as far as possible,
- raise the headrest to its highest setting,
- move the seat belt height control to the low position.
(1) You must always comply with the
laws of the country in which you are
travelling. They may be different to
the guidelines in this handbook.
