Never use deadlocking if
someone is still inside the
vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with a dead-
locking function, this allows you to lock
the opening elements and to prevent
the doors from being unlocked using
the interior handles (for example, by
breaking the window and then trying to
open the door from the inside).
RENAULT CARD: deadlocking
To deactivate deadlocking
Unlock the vehicle using button 1 on
the RENAULT card.
The hazard warning lights flash once to
indicate that the doors have been un-
locked.
21
After activating the deadlocking
function using button 2, “hands-
free” locking and unlocking are de-
activated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:
restart the vehicle.
3
To activate deadlocking
– Press the button 2 twice in quick suc- cession;
or
– With the vehicle unlocked, you can also press the button 3 on the driver
or passenger side door twice in quick
succession (or, depending on the
vehicle, on the tailgate or the rear
door).
In both cases, locking is indicated by
the hazard warning lights flashing five
times.

CENTRAL LOCKING/UNLOCKING OF OPENING ELEMENTS (2/2)
Locking the doors with the
tailgate open
To lock the vehicle with the boot open
(e.g. when transporting something in
the boot which prevents it from being
closed), or when the vehicle is located
in a zone of high electromagnetic radia-
tion, or if the card or key is faulty: with
the engine switched off, press and hold
switch 1 for more than five seconds.
NB: If you close the boot, it will lock.
Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are
driving, remember that it
may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.
Doors and tailgate status
indicator light
When the ignition is on, the indicator
light integrated in switch 1 informs you
of the status of the doors and tailgate:
– indicator light on, the doors and tail- gate are locked;
– light off, the doors and tailgate are unlocked.
When the ignition is off, the indicator
light remains lit and then goes out when
you lock the doors.

Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
SEAT BELTS (1/5)
1
2
Incorrectly adjusted or
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head- rest. For the maximum safety, your
head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view ;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close as possible to your body, i.e.:
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.

SEAT BELTS (2/5)
ßFront seat belt reminder
warning light
It lights up on the central display when
the engine is started and, if the driv-
er’s seat belt is not fastened, the light
flashes and a beep sounds for about
2 minutes when the vehicle reaches a
speed of about 9.92 mph (16 km/h).
Depending on the vehicle, this flashes if
the front passenger seat belt is not fas-
tened.
Adjusting the height of the
front seat belts
Move button 6 to select the position you
require so that chest strap 1 is worn as
described above.
Make sure that the seat belt is locked
in position correctly after you have ad-
justed it.
Unlocking
Press button 4 and the seat belt will be
rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the
belt.
6
Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 3 locks into
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull- ing on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.
Airbags for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger
sides.
An “Airbag” marking on the steer-
ing wheel and the dashboard (airbag
area A) indicates that this device is
fitted.
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monito- ring which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a single
å warning light on the
instrument panel.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will generate
heat, produce smoke (this does not
mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
In a situation where an air bag is re-
quired, it will inflate immediately and
this may cause some minor, superfi-
cial grazing to the skin or other pro-
blems.
A
The passenger airbag only
protects the front side pas-
senger; the front centre
passenger is only protected
by the seat belt. Please follow the
usual safety instructions (wearing
the seat belt).
Risk of injury in the event of an ac-
cident.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operating faults
Warning light 4 å will light up on
the instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then go out after a few
seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or comes on when the
engine is running, there is a fault in the
system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.
4
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact
of the driver’s head and chest against
the steering wheel and of the front pas-
senger against the dashboard. The air
bags then deflate immediately so that
the passengers are not in any way hin-
dered from leaving the vehicle.
