ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag 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 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 be
fully 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 SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER
SEAT UNLESS THE SYSTEMS ADDITIONAL TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT ARE DEACTIVATED.
(Refer to the information on Deactivation of passenger airbags in Section 1).
