sIDE pROTECTION DEVICEs
side air bags
These air bags may be fitted to the front
seats and are deployed at the sides of
the seats (door side) to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
A marking on the seat informs you of
the presence of this device.
Curtain air bags
These air bags may be fitted along the
top of each side of the vehicle and are
triggered along the front and rear side
windows to protect passengers in the
event of a side impact.
A marking on the interior trim above the
side windows informs you of the pres -
ence of this device.
Warnings concerning the side air bag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find
out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those
designed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle)
may affect the operation of the air bags 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 air bag from operating correctly
or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal
fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
– The area between the rear bench seatback and the trim is the area of air bag
operation: no objects must be placed here.

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. The air bag and the seat belt are integral parts of
the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the oc-
cupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor su-
perficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and air bags are not always triggered.
Impacts to the underside of the vehicle from pavements, holes, stones et\
c. can all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the driver or passenger air bag system (air bags,
pretensioners, electronic unit, wiring harness, etc., except by qualifie\
d RENAULT network personnel);
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,
only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the air bag system;
– As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or
broken into;
– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle;
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is deployed and also to pre-
vent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged\
when the air bag deploys.
