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.

1-14Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
.If the seat belt in the position where a child
restraint system is installed requires a lock-
ing clip and if it is not used, injuries could
result from a child restraint system tipping
over during normal vehicle braking or cor-
nering.
. After attaching a child restraint system, test
it before you place the child in it. Tilt it from
side to side. Try to tug it forward and check if
it is held securely in place. The child restraint
system should not move more than 25 mm (1
in) . If the restraint is not secure, tighten the
belt as necessary, or install the restraint in
another seat and test it again.
. Check the child restraint system in your
vehicle to be sure that it is compatible with
the vehicle’s seat belt system.
. If a child restraint system is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured in a
collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.
. Improper use of a child restraint system can
increase the risk or severity of injury for both
the child and other occupants in the vehicle.
. Always use an appropriate child restraint
system. An improperly installed child re-
straint system could lead to serious injury
or death in an accident.
. When the child restraint system is not in use,
keep it secured with the ISOFIX child
restraint system (if equipped) or a seat belt
to prevent it from being thrown around in
case of a sudden stop or accident.
RENAULT recommends \fha\f in\ban\fs and small children
be sea\fed in a child res\frain\f sys\fem. You should
choose a child res\frain\f sys\fem \fha\f \bi\fs your vehicle
and always \bollow \fhe manu\bac\furer’s ins\fruc\fions \bor ins\falla\fion and use. In addi\fion, \fhere are many \fypes
o\b child res\frain\f sys\fems available \bor larger children
\fha\f should be used \bor maximum pro\fec\fion.
CAUTION:
Remember that a child restraint system left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the
seating surface and buckles before placing your
child in a child restraint system.

WARNING:
.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so
could damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not be
properly installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
. The child restraint top tether strap may be
damaged by contact with the tonneau board
(if equipped) or items in the luggage area.
Remove the tonneau board from the vehicle
or secure it and any luggage. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the top tether strap is damaged.
