Additional Methods Of Restraint - Renault Sandero Owner's Manual

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

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 airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags 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 are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor
superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air-
bags.
The air bags are not always triggered if the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe. Impacts
from underneath the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the driver or passenger air bag system (air bag, elec-
tronic unit, wiring, etc.), except by qualified personnel from our Network.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which could cause injury,
only qualified personnel from our Network 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 approved Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
