SEAT BELTSAlways wear your seat belt whentravelling in your vehicle. You mustalso comply with the legislation ofthe particular country you are in.

Before driving off:- firstly ensure that your driving

position is correctly adjusted,- then adjust your seat belt to

provide maximum protection.

Incorrectly adjusted seatbelts may cause injuriesin the event of anaccident.

Even pregnant women shouldwear a seat belt. In this case,ensure that the lap belt is notexerting too much pressure onthe abdomen but do not allowany slack.

Adjusting your driving position• Sit well back in your seat (having

removed your coat or jacket).This is essential to ensure thatyour back is positioned correctly.

• Adjusting the distance betweenthe seat and the pedals.Your seat should be as far back aspossible while still allowing youto fully depress the clutch pedal.The seatback should be adjustedso that your arms are slightly bentwhen you hold the steeringwheel.

• Adjusting the position of yourheadrest.For maximum safety, the top ofyour head should be in line withthe top of the headrest.

• Adjusting the height of the seat.This adjustment allows you toselect the seat position whichoffers you the best possible view.

• Adjust the height of the seatback

• Adjust the position of the steeringwheel

Adjusting the seat beltsSit with your back firmly against theseatback.The lap strap 1 should be heldfirmly over the thighs and againstthe pelvis.The belt should be worn so that it isas close to your body as possible, i.e.avoid wearing heavy clothing orkeeping bulky objects under thebelts.

SEAT BELTSThe following information applies to both the vehicle's front and rear seat belts.

• No adjustments may be made to the original component parts of the restraint system (belts, seats and theirmountings).For special cases (e.g. fitting child seats) contact your RENAULT Dealer.

• Do not use devices which allow any play in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn tooloosely risks causing 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 lap with your seat beltaround them.

• The belt should never be twisted.

• Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Likewise, replace your seat belts as soonas 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 usedproperly.

• If necessary, readjust the position and tightness of the belt.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTThese are:■ buckle pretensioners,■ driver's seat lap belt

pretensioner,■ force limiters,■ driver and passenger front

airbags.

These systems are designed to actindependently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontalimpact.Depending on the severity of theimpact, the system can trigger:- seat belt locking,- the buckle pretensioner (which

engages to correct seat belt play);- the lap pretensioner (for the

driver's seat), the "low volume"front airbag and the force limiter;

- the "high volume" front airbag.

PretensionersWith the ignition switched on, ifthere is a severe frontal impact anddepending on the force of theimpact, the system may engage:- piston 1 which instantly 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 accidenthave the entire restraintsystem checked.

• No operation whatsoever ispermitted on any part of thesystem (pretensioners, airbags,computers, wiring) and thesystem components must not bereused on any other vehicle,even if identical.

• To avoid premature triggering ofthe system which may causeinjury, only qualified RenaultNetwork personnel may work onthe pretensioner and airbagsystem.

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

• When the vehicle is scrapped,contact your RENAULT Dealerfor disposal of the pretensionerand airbag gas generators.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT (continued)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.

Driver and passenger airbagsAn airbag may be provided for boththe driver and the front passenger.An "Airbag" marking on the steeringwheel and dashboard (airbag area A)and a label in the lower section ofthe windscreen inform you of thepresence of additional means ofrestraint (airbags, pretensioners,etc.) in the passenger compartment.Each airbag system consists of:- an airbag 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 impact sensorand a monitor controlling theelectrical trigger system for the gasgenerator;

- a single indicator light on

the instrument panel. The airbag system uses theprinciples of pyrotechnics. Thisexplains why, when the airbaginflates, it will generate heat,produce smoke (this does not meanthat a fire is about to start) andmake a noise upon detonation. In asituation where an airbag isrequired it will inflate immediatelyand this may cause some minor,superficial grazing to the skin.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT (continued)

OperationThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.If a severe frontal impact occurs, theairbag(s) inflate(s) rapidly,cushioning the impact of thedriver's head and chest against thesteering wheel and the frontpassenger's head against thedashboard. The airbag(s) thendeflate(s) immediately so that thepassengers are not impeded in anyway as they get out of the vehicle.

Special feature of the frontairbagThere are two volumes of operationdepending on the severity of theimpact:- "low volume" airbag, this is the

first degree of operation;- "high volume" airbag. The airbags

seams tear so that a greater volumeof air is released into the bag (forthe most severe impacts).

Operating faultsWarning light 1 will light up on theinstrument panel when the ignitionis turned on and then will go outafter a few seconds.If it does not light up when theignition is switched on, or lights upwhile the engine is running, there isa fault in the system (pretensioners,airbag).Consult your RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible. Your protectionwill be reduced until this fault isrectified.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT (continued)All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to preventthe risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.

Warnings concerning the driver's airbag• Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel cushion.• Do not cover the steering wheel cushion.

• Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.• The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from the RENAULT network).• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving. 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 airbag to inflate properly and to befully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag:• Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard in the proximity of the

airbag housing.• Nothing should be placed between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, 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. In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head etc.)• You should reactivate the airbags as soon as you remove the child seat from the front passenger seat to ensure the

protection of the front passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD/BABY SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGERSEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

(Refer to the information on"Deactivation of passenger airbags" in Section 1).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTSThese are:■ seat belt pretensioners

integrated into the inertia reels(side seat belts).

■ force limiter.

These systems are designed to actindependently or together when thevehicle suffers a frontal impact.There are two scenarios, dependingon the force of the impact:- protection is provided by the belt

only;- the pretensioner is triggered to

rectify seat belt play.

Rear seat belt pretensioners(side seat belts)With the ignition on, if the vehicle issubjected to a severe frontal impact,a piston immediately retracts theseat belt buckle, pulling the seat belttight against the body and therebyimproving its efficiency.A marking on the windscreeninforms you of the presence ofadditional means of restraint(airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in thepassenger compartment.

• Following an accidenthave the entire restraintsystem checked.

LATERAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS

Side airbags AThese are airbags fitted to each frontseat, and the rear seats in somevehicles, which are triggered on theside of the seat (door side) to protectthe passengers from severe sideimpacts.

The slits on theseatbacks (door side)correspond to the airbagdeployment area: Never

place any objects here.

Curtain airbags BThese are airbags fitted along thetop of the side of the vehicle andwhich are triggered along the frontand rear side windows to protectthe passengers in the event of asevere side impact.

A marking on the windscreeninforms you of the presence ofadditional means of restraint(airbags, pretensioners, etc.) inthe passenger compartment.

Warnings concerning thelateral airbag• Fitting seat covers: seats

equipped with an airbagrequire covers specificallydesigned for your vehicle.Contact your RENAULT Dealerto find out if these covers may bepurchased from RENAULToutlets. The use of any coversother than those designed foryour vehicle (and includingthose designed for anothervehicle) may affect the operationof the airbags and reduce yourprotection.

• Do not place any accessories,objects or even pets between theseatback, the door and theinternal fittings. Do not cover theseatback with any items such asclothes or accessories. This mayprevent the airbag fromoperating correctly or causeinjury when the airbag isdeployed.

• No work or modificationwhatsoever may be carried outon the internal fittings, except byqualified RENAULT Networkpersonnel.

1.32

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINTAll of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to preventthe risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags and seat belts are integral partsof the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn,the occupants of the vehicle are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. The risk ofminor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed may also increase, although such minor

injuries are always possible with airbags.If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are notalways triggered. Shocks to the underside of the vehicle, from pavements, holes, stones etc. can all trigger these systems.

• It is strictly forbidden to work on or modify any part of the airbag system (computer, wiring, etc.). Such work mustonly be undertaken by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.

• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may causeinjury, only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the airbag system.

• As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, stolen orbroken 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 SAFETYIn all countries there are regulationsgoverning the use of restraints forchildren and babies.In Europe children under 10 yearsof age(1) must be seated in anapproved safety device which issuitable for the weight and size ofthe child.The driver is responsible forensuring that this equipment isused correctly.Child restraints for which typeapproval was obtained after January1992 offer a level of safety muchgreater than for restraints with typeapproval before that date.It is therefore advisable to select achild restraint that complies withEuropean regulation ECE 44.Restraints that comply with thislegislation must be marked with anorange label bearing the letter Efollowed by a number (whichrepresents the country where it istype approved) and the year inwhich the type approval wasgranted.Refer to the "Child safetyequipment" booklet available fromthe RENAULT Network to choosethe seat suited to your child andrecommended for your vehicle.

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 ofallowing him or her to play on afourth-floor balcony withoutrailings.

Under no circumstancesshould babies or childrenbe allowed to travel sittingon the knees of another

passenger in the vehicle.If a frontal impact occurs at 30 mph(50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kgwill be transformed into a missileequivalent to one tonne: you willfind it impossible to hold the child,even if you yourself are wearing abelt.It is particularly dangerous to putthe belt round your child when heor she is sitting on your lap. Neveruse the belt for more than oneperson at the same time.

Some passenger seats are notsuitable for the installation of childseats.To find out the authorised seats andtypes of child seats that can beinstalled in each of the authorisedseats, refer to the tables in thefollowing pages.

Before installing a child seat in thefront seat (if installation ispermitted)If fitted to the passenger seat, carryout the following adjustments:- move the passenger seat as far

back as possible,- set the seatback to its fully upright

position,- raise the seat base as far as

possible,- raise the headrest to its highest

setting,- move the seat belt height control

to the low position.

(1) You must always comply with thelaws of the country in which you aretravelling. They may be different tothe guidelines in this handbook.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)The right choiceThe safety of your children is alsoyour responsibility.To ensure that your child has themaximum possible protection, werecommend that you use seatsapproved by the RENAULTNetwork.It is preferable to use an ISOFIX seatif your vehicle is fitted with anISOFIX system (refer to "ISOFIXchild seat fitting system" inSection 1).Restraint systems for all thecategories are available. Thesesystems have been developed inconsultation with themanufacturers and have been testedin RENAULT vehicles.Contact your RENAULT Dealer andask him to help you install it.

Categories 0 and 0+ (0 to 13 kg)A child's neck is very susceptible toinjury up to the age of two. It ispreferable to put your child into arear facing enclosing shell seat. Thisposition enhances safety.

Category 1 (9 to 18 kg)Between 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 also a risk that the childwill sustain abdominal injuries inthe event of a frontal impact. It istherefore advisable to use a buckettype seat that restrains the child bymeans of a harness or shockabsorbing pad.

To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you useRENAULT approved accessories because they are designed for yourvehicle and are the only accessories for which RENAULT willprovide a warranty.

Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) andcategory 3 (22 to 36 kg)For correctly maintaining the pelvisof a child under 10 years, a heightunder 1.36 m and a weight of lessthan 36 kg, preferably use a raisedseat with belt guides that ensurethat the three-point belt goes flatover the child's thighs.

A booster seat with aheight-adjustable seatback and abelt guide are recommended as thiswill allow the belt to be worn asclose to the base of the neck aspossible but not on it.Place the headrest in the topposition to allow you to press theseatback of the child seat firmlyagainst the vehicle seatback.If a booster seat without a seatbackis used, the vehicle's headrest willhave to be adjusted to suit thechild's stature; the upper edge of theheadrest must be at the same heightas the top of the child's head andshould never be lower than in linewith the child's eyes.

The standard classifies the childrestraints in five categories:Category 0 : 0 to 10 kgCategory 0+ : 0 to 13 kgCategory 1 : 9 to 18 kgCategory 2 : 15 to 25 kgCategory 3 : 22 to 36 kg

CHILD SAFETY• No modifications may be made to the original component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and

their mountings).

• Carefully follow 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 tight enough so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tensionregularly.

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

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

• 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 they are 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 maybecome 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 they are in a restraining 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.

TRIP COMPUTER AND WARNING SYSTEM

Display 1

General reset and trip mileagerecorder reset buttonTo reset the trip mileage recorder,the display must show the "tripmileometer" function.Then press and hold button 2.

Display selection keyPress key 3 briefly repeatedly toshow the following information insequence:a) Total mileage recorder,b) trip mileage,c) fuel used;d) average consumption,e) current consumption,f) estimated range,g) distance covered,h) average speed,i) mileage before service,j) extinction of the information

display.

Interpretation of valuesdisplayed after a resetThe values showing average fuelconsumption, range and averagespeed will become more stable andreliable the further you travel sincethe last time the reset key waspressed.

For the first few miles after pressingthe reset key you will notice:• that the range increases as you

travel. This is normal, averagefuel consumption may decreasewhen:- the vehicle stops accelerating,- the engine reaches its operating

temperature (engine cold whenreset button pressed),

- when driving from a built-uparea onto the open road.

Therefore, if the average fuelconsumption decreases, the rangewill increase.

• You may also notice that theaverage fuel consumptionincreases when the vehicle isstationary and the engine idling.This is normal since the computertakes account of fuel used duringidling.

Note:Resetting is automatic when themaximum capacity of any of thememories is exceeded.
