Side Protection Device - Renault 2005 Megane Owner's Manual

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Side airbags
An airbag is fitted to each front seat
and, depending on the country, the
rear side seats, which are deployed
on the side of the seat (door side) to
protect the occupants in the case of
a severe side impact.
Curtain airbags
These are airbags fitted along the
sides of the vehicle in the ceiling
which trigger along the front and rear
side windows to
passengers in case of a severe side
impact.
A marking on the windscreen
informs you of the presence of
additional means of restraint
(airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in
the passenger compartment.

protect the
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 airbags 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 airbag from operating
correctly or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.
• No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the internal
fittings, except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.
• The slits in the front seatbacks (door side) and the space between the
seatback, the rear bench seat and the trims correspond to the airbag
deployment zone: it is prohibited to place any objects in these locations.
Warnings concerning the side airbag
• Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact your RENAULT
Dealer to find out if these covers may be purchased from RENAULT
