SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Side air bags
This air bag is fitted to each of the front
seats and is inflated at the sides of
the seats (door side) to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
Curtain air bags
These are air bags fitted along the sides
of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger
along the front and rear side windows
to protect the passengers in case of a
severe side impact.
A marking on the windscreen in-
forms you of the presence of addi-
tional means of restraint (air bags,
pretensioners, etc.) in the passen-
ger compartment.
Warnings concerning the side air bag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact your RENAULT Dealer to
find out if these covers may be purchased from RENAULT accessory
outlets. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (and
including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of the
air bags and reduce your protection.
– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the
door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly
or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal
fittings, except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.
– These air bags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never
insert any objects in these slits.
