Unfastening seat belts
Push the button on the buckle.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
Periodically check that the seat belt and all the metal
com\fonents, such as buckles, tongues, retractors,
flexible wires and anchors, work \fro\ferly. If loose \farts,
deterioration, cuts or other damage on the seat belt
webbing is found, the entire seat belt assembly should
be re\flaced.
If dirt builds u\f in the shoulder belt guide of the seat
belt anchors, the seat belts may retract slowly. Wi\fe
the shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.
To clean the seat belt webbing, a\f\fly a mild soa\f
solution or any solution recommended for cleaning
u\fholstery or car\fet. Then wi\fe with a cloth and allow
the seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the seat
belts to retract until they are com\fletely dry.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINT
USAGE
SSS0099
WARNING:
.Infants and small children should never be
carried on your lap. It is not possible for even
the strongest adult to resist the forces of a
severe accident. The child could be crushed
between the adult and parts of the vehicle.
Also, it is dangerous to put a seat belt
around a child being carried on the occu-
pant’s lap.
. Infants and children need special protection.
The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them
properly. The shoulder belt may come too
close to the face or neck. The lap belt may
not fit over their small hip bones. In an
accident, an improperly fitting seat belt
could cause serious or fatal injury.
. Infants and small children should always be
placed in an appropriate child restraint
system while riding in the vehicle. Failure
to use a child restraint system can result in
serious injury or death. .
Child restraint systems specially designed
for infants and small children are available
from several manufacturers. When selecting
any child restraint systems, place your child
in the child restraint system and check the
various adjustments to be sure that the child
restraint system is compatible with your
child. Always follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions for installation and use.
. RENAULT recommends that the child re-
straint system be installed in the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat rather than in the front seat.
. Follow all of the child restraint system
manufacturer’s instructions for installation
and use. When purchasing a child restraint
system, be sure to select one which will fit
your child and vehicle. It may not be possible
to properly install some types of child
restraint systems in your vehicle.
. For a front-facing child restraint system,
check to make sure the shoulder belt does
not fit close to child’s face or neck. If it does,
put the shoulder belt behind the child
restraint system.
. Never install a rear-facing child restraint
system in the front seat. An inflating supple-
mental front-impact air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child. A rear-facing child
restraint system must only be used in the
rear seat.
. Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned
to fit a child restraint system, but as upright
as possible.

WARNING:
.The VDC system is designed to help improve
driving stability but does not prevent acci-
dents due to abrupt steering operation at
high speeds or due to careless or dangerous
driving techniques. Reduce vehicle speed
and be especially careful when driving and
cornering on slippery surfaces and always
drive carefully.
. Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension. If
suspension parts such as shock absorbers,
struts, springs, stabilizer bars, bushings and
wheels are not RENAULT-approved or are
extremely deteriorated, the VDC system may
not operate properly. This could adversely
affect vehicle handling performance, and the
“VDC OFF” indicator or “SLIP”indicator or
both indicator lights may illuminate.
. If brake related parts such as brake pads,
rotors and calipers are not standard equip-
ment or are extremely deteriorated, the
“VDC OFF” indicator or “SLIP”indicator or
both indicator lights may illuminate.
. If engine related parts such as a muffler are
not standard equipment or are extremely
deteriorated, the “VDC OFF” indicator or
“ SLIP ”indicator or both indicator lights
may illuminate.
. When driving on extremely inclined surfaces
such as higher banked corners, the VDC
system may not operate properly and the
“VDC OFF” indicator or “SLIP”indicator or
both indicator lights may illuminate. Do not
drive on these types of roads. .
When driving on unstable surfaces such as a
turntable, ferry, elevator or ramp, the “VDC
OFF” indicator or “SLIP”indicator or both
indicator lights may illuminate. This is not a
malfunction. Restart the engine after driving
onto a stable surface.
. If wheels or tires other than those recom-
mended are used, the VDC system may not
operate properly and “VDC OFF”indicator or
“SLIP” indicator or both indicator lights may
illuminate.
. The VDC system is not a substitute for winter
tires or tire chains on a snowcovered road.
When accelerating or \friving on slipper\b surfaces, the
tires ma\b spin or sli\fe. With the Vehicle D\bnamic
Control (VDC) s\bstem, sensors \fetect these move-
ments an\f control the braking an\f engine output to
help improve vehicle stabilit\b.
. When the VDC s\bstem is operating, the “SLIP”
in\ficator in the instrument panel blinks.
. If the “SLIP” in\ficator blinks, the roa\f con\fitions
are slipper\b. Be sure to a\fjust \bour spee\f an\f

. In\ficator light
If a malfunction occurs in the s\bstem, the “SLIP”
an\f “VDC OFF” in\ficator lights illuminate in the
instrument panel. As long as these in\ficators are
illuminate\f, the VDC s\bstem function is cancele\f.
The VDC s\bstem uses a Brake Limite\f Slip Differential
(BLSD) function to improve vehicle traction. The BLSD
s\bstem works when one of the \friving wheels is
spinning on a slipper\b surface. The BLSD s\bstem
brakes the spinning wheel, which \fistributes the \friving power to the other \frive wheel. If the vehicle
is operate\f with the VDC OFF switch pushe\f an\f the
VDC s\bstem turne\f off, all VDC s\bstems will be turne\f
off. The BLSD s\bstem will still operate with the VDC
s\bstem off. If the BLSD s\bstem is activate\f, the “SLIP”
in\ficator light will blink an\f \bou ma\b hear a clunk noise
an\f/or feel a pulsation in the foot brake pe\fal. This is
normal an\f is not an in\fication of a malfunction. While
the VDC s\bstem is operating, \bou ma\b feel a pulsation
in the foot brake pe\fal an\f hear a noise or feel a
vibration from un\fer the hoo\f. This is normal an\f
in\ficates that the VDC s\bstem is working properl\b.
The VDC s\bstem computer has a built-in \fiagnostic
feature that tests the s\bstem each time \bou start the
engine an\f move the vehicle at a low spee\f forwar\f or

WARNING:
. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) sys-
tem is designed to help improve driving

WARNING:
The Brake Assist is only an aid to assist braking
operation and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s responsibility
to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
WARNING:
.The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a
sophisticated device, but it cannot prevent
accidents resulting from careless or danger-
ous driving techniques. It can help maintain
vehicle control during braking on slippery
surfaces. Remember that stopping distances
on slippery surfaces will be longer than on
normal surfaces even with ABS. Stopping
distances may also be longer on rough,
gravel or snow covered roads, or if you are
using tire chains. Always maintain a safe
distance from the vehicle in front of you.
Ultimately, the driver is responsible for
safety.
. Tire type and condition may also affect
braking effectiveness.
— When replacing tires, install the speci-
fied size of tires on all four wheels.
— When installing a spare tire, make sure that it is the proper size and type as
specified on the tire placard. (See “Tire
placard” (P.9-8) .)
— For detailed information, see “Tires and
wheels” (P.8-34) .
The A\fti-lo\bk Braki\fg System (ABS) \bo\ftrols the
brakes so the wheels do \fot lo\bk duri\fg hard braki\fg

USING SYSTEM
Depress the brake pedal a\fd hold it dow\f. Depress
the brake pedal with firm steady pressure, but do \fot
pump the brakes. The ABS will operate to preve\ft the
wheels from lo\bki\fg up. Steer the vehi\ble to avoid
obsta\bles.
WARNING:
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may
result in increased stopping distances.
SELF-TEST FEATURE
The ABS i\f\bludes ele\btro\fi\b se\fsors, ele\btri\b pumps,

a built-i\f diag\fosti\b feature that tests the system ea\bh
time you start the e\fgi\fe a\fd move the vehi\ble at a low
