O driver's seat lap pretensioner,

O force limiters,

O driver and passenger front air bags.

These systems are provided to actindependently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontalimpact.

Depending on the force of theimpact the system may engage:

- the seat belt;- the buckle pretensioner (which

engages to correct seat belt play);- the lap pretensioner (for thedriver’s seat), the “low volume”front air bag and the force limiter;

- the “large volume” front air bag.

PretensionersWith the ignition switched on, if there is a severe frontal impact anddepending on the force of theimpact, the system may engage:- piston 1 which immediately

retracts the seat belt;- piston 2 on the driver’s seat.

The pretensioners hold the seat beltagainst the body and thus increaseits efficiency.

• Following an accident,have the entire restraintsystem checked.

• No operations whatsoever arepermitted on any part of thesystem (pretensioners, air bags,computers, wiring) or use on anyother vehicle, even if identical.

• To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may causeinjury, only qualified RenaultNetwork personnel may work onthe pretensioner and air bagssystem.

• The electric trigger system mayonly be tested by a speciallytrained technician using specialequipment.

• When the vehicle is scrapped,contact your Renault Dealer fordisposal of the pretensioner andair bag gas generators.

Force limiterAbove a certain severity of impact,this mechanism is used to limit theforce of the belt against the body sothat it is at an acceptable level.

Warning relating to theservice life of air bagsand pretensioners

The pyrotechnic systems

in air bags and pretensionershave a limited service life. Thesesystems must be replaced oncethey have been used but at thelatest after they have been inservice for ten years. This workmust always be undertaken by aRenault Dealer.

The seat belt pretensioners andthe air bag operate together. If

one of the systems has passed thedate whenit is due for renewal, itwill alter the overall safetyprotection provided.

Air bags for driver and frontpassengerAn air bag may be provided for boththe driver and the front passenger.

“Air bag” inscriptions on thesteering wheel and dashboardtogether with a label on the lowerpart of the windscreen indicate thatthe vehicle is equipped with an air

bag.

Each air bag system consists of:- An air bag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for thedriver and in the dashboard for thefront passenger.

- A computer for both systems,

which includes the impactdetector and a monitor controllingthe electrical trigger system for thegas generator.

- A single warning light onthe instrument panel. The air bag system uses the

principles of pyrotechnics. Thisexplains why, when the air baginflates, it will generate heat,produce smoke (this does not mean

that a fire is about to start) andmake a noise upon detonation. In asituation where an air bag isrequired, it must inflateimmediately and this may causesome minor, superficial grazing tothe skin.

1.29

OperationThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.

If a severe frontal impact occurs,the air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly,cushioning the impact of thedriver's head and chest against thesteering wheel and the frontpassenger's head against thedashboard. The air bag then deflates

immediately so that the passengersare not impeded in any way whenthey get out of the vehicle.

Special feature of the front air bagThere are two volumes of operationdepending on the force of theimpact:- “low volume” air bag, this is the

first degree of operation;

- “large volume” air bag, the air bagseams rip so that a larger volumeof air is released into the bag (for

the most forceful impacts).

FaultsWarning light 1 will light up on theinstrument panel when the ignitionis turned on and then go out after afew seconds.

If it does not light up when theignition is switched on, or lights upwhen the engine is running, there isa fault in the system.

Consult your Renault Dealer as soonas possible. Your protection will bereduced until this problem isrectified.

1.30

All the warnings below are given sothat, if the air bag is activated, it isnot obstructed in any way and alsoto prevent the risk of seriousinjuries caused by items which may

be dislodged when the air baginflates.

Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag

• Do not modify either the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.

• Do not cover the steering wheel boss.

• Do not affix any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the

steering wheel boss.• The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel

within the Renault network).

• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightly bent (see “Adjusting your driving position” in section 1), it will ensure thatthere is sufficient space for the air bag to inflate properly and to be fullyeffective.

Warnings concerning the passenger air bag

• Do not attach or affix with adhesive any objects (badge, logo, clock,telephone holder, etc.) on the dashboard near where the air bag islocated A.

• Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (animal,umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).

• The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there

is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep allparts of the body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard.

A REAR-FACING CHILD/BABY SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTEDTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED

WITH A PASSENGER AIR BAG.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SIDE SEAT BELT

These are: Force limiter



1.31

These are:

O Seat belt pretensionersintegrated with inertia reels.

O Force limiter.

These systems are provided to act

independently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontalimpact.

There are two possibilities,depending on the force of theimpact:- protection is provided by the belt

only;- the pretensioner is triggered to

rectify seat belt play.

Rear seat belt pretensionersThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.

If the vehicle is subject to a severefrontal impact, a pistonimmediately retracts the seat belt

buckle pulling the seat belt tight

against the body and therebyimproving its efficiency.

• Following an accident,have the entire restraintsystem checked.

• No operations whatsoever arepermitted on any part of thesystem (pretensioners, air bags,computers, wiring) or use on anyother vehicle, even if identical.

• To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may causeinjury, only qualified RenaultNetwork personnel may work onthe pretensioner and air bagssystem.

• The electric trigger system mayonly be tested by a speciallytrained technician using specialequipment.

• When the vehicle is scrapped,contact your Renault Dealer fordisposal of the pretensioner andair bag gas generators.

1.32

Side air bags AThese are air bags fitted to eachfront seat and, depending on thevehicle, the rear seats which aretriggered on the side of the seat(door side) to protect the passengersfrom violent side impacts.

The air bag operatesthrough the slits in theseatbacks (door side):

never put any objects in the slits.

Curtain air bags BThese are air bags fitted to the uppersides of the vehicle which aretriggered along the front and rearside windows to protect thepassengers in case of violent sideimpact.

The markings 1 on the windscreenwill remind you of the presence of this equipment.

Warnings concerning theside air bag

• Fitting seat covers: Seatsequipped with an air

bag require special coversspecifically designed for your

vehicle. Consult your RenaultDealer to find out if these coversmay be purchased from Renaultoutlets. The use of any coversother than those designed foryour vehicle (and includingthose designed for anothervehicle) may affect the operationof these air bags and reduce yourprotection.

• Do not place any accessories,objects or even animals betweenthe seat back, the door and theinternal fittings. This mayprevent the air bag fromoperating correctly or causeinjury if the air bag is deployed.

• No work or modificationwhatsoever may be carried out

on the internal fittings, except by qualified Renault Networkpersonnel.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINTAll the warnings below are given so that, if the air bag is activated, it is not obstructed in any way and also to prevent the

i k f i i j i d b it hi h b di l d d h th i b i fl t



1.33

risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integralparts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are notworn, it exposes the occupants to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the

risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries arealways possible with air bags.

The air bag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if thevehicle turns over.

• No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on the entire air bag system (computer, wiring, etc.) (except by qualified Renault network personnel).

• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may causeinjury, 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, is stolen or broken into.

• When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.

• When scrapping your vehicle, contact your Renault Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

CHILD SAFETY

In all countries there are regulations Child restraints for which approval



1.34

ggoverning the use of restraintsystems for children and babies.

In Europe, children under 12 yearsof age or shorter than 1.50 m(1)

must be seated in an approvedsafety device which is suitable for

the weight and size of the child.The driver is responsible forensuring that this equipment isused correctly.

Remember that a collision at30 mph (50 km/h) is the same asfalling a distance of 10 metres.Expressed in other terms,transporting a child without arestraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on athird-floor balcony which doesnot have any railings.

(1) Always comply with the laws of thecountry in which you are travelling.They may be different to theguidelines in this handbook.

Under no circumstancesshould babies or children

be allowed to travel sittingon the knees of another

passenger in the vehicle.

If a head-on collision occurs at30 mph (50 km/h) a child weighing30 kg (66 lbs) will be transformedinto a missile equivalent to onetonne: you will find it impossibleto hold the child, even if youyourself are wearing a belt.

It is particularly dangerous to putthe belt round your child when heor she is sitting on your knee.Never use the belt for more thanone person at the same time.

ppwas obtained after January 1992offer a level of safety much greaterthan for restraints with approval

before that date.

It is therefore advisable to select achild restraint that complies with

European regulation ECE 44.Restraints that comply with thislegislation must be marked with anorange label bearing the letter Efollowed by a number (whichstands for the country where it istype approved) and the year inwhich the type approval wasgranted.

The standard classifies childrestraints in five categories:

Category 0: from 0 to 10 kg (0 to 22 lbs)Category 0+: from 0 to 13 kg (0 to 28 lbs)Category 1: from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs)Category 2: from 15 to 25 kg (33 to 55 lbs)Category 3: from 22 to 36 kg (48 to 80 lbs)

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

The right choice



1 2

1.35

gThe safety of your children is alsoyour responsibility.

To ensure that your child has themaximum possible protection, werecommend that you use seatsobtained from a Renault Dealer.

If your vehicle is fitted with anIsofix system you should use anIsofix seat (see section 1, “Isofixchild seat attachment system”).

Restraint systems for all thecategories are available. Thesesystems have been developed inconsultation with themanufacturers and have been tested

in Renault vehicles.Consult your Renault Dealer andask him to help you install it.

Category O and O+A child's neck is very susceptible toinjury up to the age of two. In afront-facing seat there is a risk thatthe child will sustain neck injuriesin the event of a frontal collision.Renault therefore recommends arear-facing seat with a harness thatgives all-round protection (figure 1).

Category 1Between the ages of 2 and 4, achild's pelvis is not fully developed.Restraints using the vehicle'sthree-point belts are not adequateand there is a risk that the child willsustain abdominal injuries in theevent of a frontal collision. It istherefore advisable to use rear-facing seats (figure 1), bucket-typeseats (figure 2) or seats with

harnesses.Place the head restraint at the topposition to allow you to press theseat back of the child seat firmlyagainst the vehicle seat back.

To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you useRENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for yourcar and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will provide awarranty.


Category 3k ( lb )



3 4

1.36

Category 2(15 to 25 kg) (33 to 55 lbs)The type of restraint most suitablefor the pelvis of a child aged

between 4 and 7 is one that can becombined with a three-point seat

belt. This is a booster seat (figure 3)with belt guides to ensure that the

belt will be worn flat over the thighsof the child.

A booster seat with a height-adjustable seatback and a belt guideare recommended as this will allowthe belt to be worn as close to the

base of the neck as possible but noton it. It is also possible to use a

bucket seat (figure 4).

Place the head restraint at the topposition to allow you to press the

seat back of the child seat firmlyagainst the vehicle seat back.

22 to 36 kg (48 to 80 lbs)For children aged over seven, a

booster seat with belt guides isrecommended to ensure that thevehicle's three-point seat belt will

be worn flat over the child's thighs.

A booster seat with a height-adjustable seatback and a belt guideare recommended as this will allowthe belt to be worn as close to the

base of the neck as possible but noton it.

If a booster seat without a seatbackis used (figure 3), the vehicle's headrestraint will have to be adjusted tosuit the child's stature; the upperedge of the head restraint must be atthe same height as the top of thechild's head and should never belower than in line with the child'seyes.

1.37

DANGERA rear-facing child seat must not be fitted to the front passenger seatif the vehicle is fitted with a passenger air bag. The child may suffer

very serious injuries if the air bag inflates.Label 5 (on the dashboard) and label 6 (on the passenger side sun visor)remind you of these instructions.




1.38

CHILD SAFETY

• No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and theirmountings) originally fitted.

• Follow carefully the instructions for fitting provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.

• Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any objects between the child and the restraintsystem.

• The seat belt in the vehicle must be taut so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tensionregularly.

• Never wear the belt under the arm or behind the back.

• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child's stature.

• Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the vehicle is moving.

• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when he or she is asleep.

• Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident were to occur, it may become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.

• Following a serious accident, have the seat belts and restraint systems in use at the time checked.

• Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if he/she is in a restraint device.

• Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with these).

• Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.

• Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.

CHILD SAFETY

Isofix - mounting system forchild seats

system is equipped with anelectronic control system whichalters the level of assistance to suitthe vehicle speed.

Steering is easier during parkingmanoeuvres (for added comfort)whilst the effort required increasesprogressively as speed increases (forenhanced safety at high speeds).

Never switch off theignition when travellingdownhill, and avoiddoing so when driving in

general (power steering and brake servo will not function).

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORThis system continuously monitorsthe tyre pressures.

Tyre pressures should be adjustedwhen the tyres are cold

If tyre pressures cannot be checkedwhen the tyres are cold, assume anincrease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.

However, the functiondoes not take the place of

the driver. It cannot, therefore,under any circumstances replacethe vigilance or theresponsibility of the driver.

Check the tyre pressures,

Operating principleEach wheel (except the emergency

spare wheel) has a sensor integratedin the inflation valve whichperiodically measures the tyrepressure.

The driver is constantly informed of the correct tyre pressure and anyvariances on display A.

For certain vehicles, the

2.18

This function is anadditional aid in theevent of critical drivingconditions to allow the

behaviour of the vehicle to beadapted to the drivingconditions.

It can, thus, under nocircumstances replace thevigilance or responsibility of thedriver when manoeuvring thevehicle (the driver must always

be aware of sudden incidents

which may occur when driving).

Operating principleA sensor in the steering wheel

detects the direction selected by thedriver.

Other sensors throughout thevehicle measure the actualdirection.

The system compares the directionselected by the driver and the actualdirection of the vehicle and correctsthis as necessary by applying the

brakes selectively and/or acting onthe engine power.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS

When braking sharply, your twomain aims are to reduce thestopping distance and keep yourvehicle under control. However,there is a risk that road holding anddirectional control may be lost andthe wheels may lock under braking,depending on the nature of theground, weather conditions and

ti Th ti l k

This system also allows you tooptimise stopping distances whenthe adhesion of one or more wheels

becomes hazardous (wet roads,slippery or varying road surfaces).

Although this system allows you tomake maximum use of stoppingdistances, even with the ABS you

When the system has beenactivated, you will feel a certaindegree of pulsation at the brakepedal. These tangible signs willwarn you that the adhesion betweenthe tyres and the ground hasreached its limit and enable you toadapt your driving style to suit theroad conditions.



2.22

your reactions. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) has beendesigned to combat this danger.

The safety enhancement is that the brake control system prevents thewheels from locking, even if the

brakes are applied too sharply, andallows the vehicle to be steered andthus its direction to be controlled.Under these circumstances it is

quite possible for the driver to steerthe vehicle and to avoid an obstaclewhilst at the same time applying the

brake.

still have to take account of theactual condition of the road surface.It is still essential to follow the rulesof good driving practice (such asdriving at a safe distance from thevehicle in front). The fact that thevehicle’s safety has been increasedshould not encourage you to takerisks.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS (continued)

Two situations must be consideredif there is a fault in the ABS system

1 - The orange warning

light is lit up on the instrumentpanel.

The braking system operates inthe same way as for a vehicle not



2.23

equipped with an ABS system.Consult a Renault Dealer as soonas possible.

2 - The orange

warning light and the

red brake circuit

fault indicator light are lit up onthe instrument panel.

This indicates that both the braking system and the ABSsystem are faulty. Your vehicle

brakes may still partiallyoperate. However, it isdangerous to brake suddenlyand it is essential to stopimmediately, as soon as traffic

conditions allow. Contact yourRenault Dealer as a matter orurgency.

The braking control provided bythe anti-lock braking system isindependent of the effort applied to

the brake pedal. In an emergency,apply continuous pressure to the brake pedal - there is no need topump it repeatedly.

EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST

This is a system in addition to ABSwhich helps reduce the vehiclestopping distances.

Operating principle

The system detects an emergency braking situation. In this case, braking assistance instantly reaches



2.24

its maximum power and allowsABS regulation to be reached asquickly as possible.

ABS braking is maintained as longas the brake pedal is not released.

Hazard warning lights come on

These may light up in the event of rapid deceleration.

This function is an additionalaid in the event of criticaldriving conditions to allowthe behaviour of the vehicle

to be adapted to the drivingconditions.

However, the function does not takethe place of the driver. It does notincrease the vehicle's limitations andshould not encourage you to drivemore quickly.

It can, thus, under no circumstancesreplace the vigilance or responsibilityof the driver when manoeuvring thevehicle (the driver must always beaware of suddenincidents which may

occur when driving).

• Corrosives in the atmosphere

- Atmospheric pollution (built-upand industrial areas).

- Saline atmosphere (near the sea,particularly in hot weather).

- Seasonal and humid climaticconditions, especially road saltin winter

What you should not do• Wash the vehicle in bright

sunlight or freezing temperatures.

• Scrape off mud or dirt withoutpre-wetting.

• Allow external dirt toaccumulate.

• Allow rust to form following

minor impacts.

• Use solvents not approved byRenault's Technical Departmentto remove spots as this couldd th i t k

• Degrease or clean mechanicalcomponents (e.g. enginecompartment), underneath the

bodywork, parts with hinges (e.g.inside the fuel tank flap) andpainted plastic external fittings(e.g. bumpers) using pressurecleaning apparatus or by sprayingon products not approved byRenault's Technical Department.

Connecting a battery charger

Both battery leads must bedisconnected (engine switched off).

Do not disconnect the battery whenthe engine is running. Follow theinstructions for use given by themanufacturer of the battery chargeryou are using.

Only a well-charged andwell-maintained battery will have along and useful life and enable you

to start the car’s engine normally.The battery must be kept clean anddry.

Have the battery's charge statuschecked regularly:• especially if you use your vehicle

f h t j f f t

• When the external temperaturedrops (in winter), the chargedeclines. In winter, only use thoseelectrical components which arereally necessary.

• Finally, you should understandthat the charge decreasesnaturally as a result of certain“permanent consumers” such as:the clock, after sales accessories...

When a large number of accessoriesare fitted to the vehicle, have themconnected to + after ignition. In thiscase, it is advisable to have yourvehicle fitted with a battery whichhas an increased nominal capacity.Consult your Renault Dealer.

If your vehicle is to be left stationaryfor a relatively long time,disconnect the battery or have itrecharged regularly, in particularduring cold weather. Theequipment with a memory, radioand trip computer will then have to

be reprogrammed. The battery must be stored in a cool dry place,protected from frost.
