Warnings concerning the
side air bag
• Fitting seat covers: seats
equipped with an air bag
require special
specifically designed for your
car. Consult your Renault Dealer
to find out if these covers may be
purchased from Renault outlets.
The use of any covers other than
those designed for your car (and
including those designed for
another car) may affect the
operation of these air bags and
reduce your protection.
• Do not place any accessories,
objects or even animals between
the seat back and the door. This
may prevent the air bag from
operating correctly or
injury if the air bag is deployed.
• No work or modification
whatsoever may be performed on
the seat except by qualified
Renault network personnel.
