METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated 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, the
occupants of the vehicle are at risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. The risk of minor superficial injuries
occurring when the air bag is deployed may also increase, 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 etc. can all trigger these systems.
Air bags for driver and front passenger
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the driver or passenger air bag system (air bag, pre-
tensioner, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except 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 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).
