Child Safety; Pregnant Women; Injured Persons; Centre Mark On Seat Belts (Where Fitted) - Renault ALASKAN 2017 Driver's Handbook Manual

•
Removal and installation of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system (where fitted) components
should be done by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop.

CHILD SAFETY

WARNING
•
Infants and children need special protection.
The vehicle's seat belts may not fit them prop-
erly. The shoulder belt may come too close to
the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over
their small hipbones. In an accident, an im-
properly fitted seat belt could cause serious
or fatal injury.
•
Always use an appropriate child restraint sys-
tem.
Children need adults to help protect them. They
need to be properly restrained. The proper restraint
depends on the child's size.
Infants and small children
RENAULT recommends that infants and small chil-
dren be seated in a child restraint system. You
should choose a child restraint system that fits your
vehicle and the child, and always follow the manu-
facturer's instructions for installation and use.
Large children
WARNING
•
Never allow children to stand or kneel on any
seats.
•
Never allow children in the luggage areas
while the vehicle is moving. A child could be
seriously injured in an accident or sudden
stop.
Children who are too large for a child restraint sys-
tem should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts that are provided.
If the child's seating position has a shoulder belt that
fits close to the face or neck, the use of a booster
seat (commercially available) may help overcome
this. The booster seat should raise the child so that
the shoulder belt is properly positioned across the
top, middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt
is low on the hips. The booster seat should also fit
the vehicle seat. Once the child has grown so that
the shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face or
neck of the child, use the shoulder belt without the
booster seat. In addition, there are many types of
child restraint systems available for larger children
that should be used for maximum protection.

PREGNANT WOMEN

RENAULT recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug, and
always position the lap belt as low as possible
around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder
belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never
run the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area.
Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.

INJURED PERSONS

RENAULT recommends that injured persons use
seat belts. Contact your doctor for specific recom-
mendations.
