Side Protection Devices - Renault CLIO Driver's Handbook Manual

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side air bags
This air bag may be fitted to each of the
front seats and is activated at the sides
of the seats (door side) to protect the
occupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
Curtain air bags
These air bags may be fitted along the
top of each side of the vehicle and are
triggered along the front and rear side
windows to protect the passengers in
the event of a severe side impact.
A marking on the windscreen and
on the trim near the rear screen re-
minds you of the presence of addi-
tional methods 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.
– These air bags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never
insert any objects in these slits.
No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal fit-
tings, except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.
