CHILD SAFETY
(continued)

The right choice

The safety of your children is also your
responsibility.
To ensure that your child has the maxi-
mum possible protection, we recom-
mend that you use seats approved by
the RENAULT Network.
If your vehicle is fitted with an Isofix
system you should use an Isofix seat
(refer to the information on the Isofix
child seat attachment system in
Section 1).
Restraint systems for all categories are
available. These systems have been
developed in consultation with the
manufacturers and have been tested in
RENAULT vehicles.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer and ask
them to help you fit it.
To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use RENAULT
approved accessories because they are suitable for your vehicle and are
the only accessories for which RENAULT will provide a warranty.

A child's neck is very susceptible to
injury up to the age of two. It is prefer-
able to put your child into a rear-facing
enclosing shell seat. This position en-
hances safety.
Category 1
(from 9 kg to 18 kg)
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a child's
pelvis is not fully developed. Restraints
using the vehicle's three-point belts are
not adequate and there is also a risk
that the child will sustain abdominal in-
juries in the event of a frontal impact. It
is therefore appropriate to use a bucket
type seat for maintaining the child by
means of a safety harness or shock ab-
sorbing pad.
