All the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way if it is activated, and also to prevent the
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 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, 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 are
always possible with air bags.
The air bag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if
the vehicle turns over.
Air bags for driver and passenger

• No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on the entire driver and passenger 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 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, 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).

Warnings concerning the driver's air bag
• Do not modify either the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
1 • Do not cover the steering wheel boss.
• Do not affix any objects (pin, logo, clock, telephone support, 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 that
there is sufficient space for the air bag to inflate properly and to be fully
effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag: location 1

SEAT BELTS
The following information applies to both the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts:
• No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their
mountings) fitted originally.
For special applications (e.g. fitting child seats) consult your Renault Dealer.
• Do not use any devices which give any play in the belts (clothes pegs, clips, for example) because a belt worn too
loosely may cause injuries in the event of an accident.
• Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
• Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your knees with your seat belt
around them.
• The belt should never be twisted.
• Following a serious accident the seat belts in use at the time must be replaced. Likewise, have your seat belts replaced
as soon as they show any signs of wear.
• When refitting the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used
properly.
• If necessary, re-adjust the position and tension of the belt.

CHILD SAFETY
• No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their
mountings) fitted originally.
• The fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system should be followed carefully.
• Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint
system.
• The seat belt in the vehicle must be taut so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tension
regularly.
• 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 or she is in a child seat.
• 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.

- It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular laid
down in the Road Traffic Regulations.
Consult your Renault Dealer about any attachments. Under no circumstances may the total train weight
(= max. permissible all-up weight and weight towed) be exceeded.
- If your vehicle is already used at full load (max. permissible all-up weight), the maximum speed must be limited to
60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure increased by 0.2 bar.
- The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced
by 10 % at an altitude of 1000 metres and by an additional 10 % for each 1000 metres thereafter.
