ADDITIONAL MEANS OF RESTRAINT
All the warnings below are given so that, if the airbag is activated, it is not obstructed in any way and also to prevent the
risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. 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 of the vehicle are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. The risk of minor
superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed may also increase, although such minor injuries are
always possible with airbags.
If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are not
always triggered. These systems may, however, be triggered by shocks to the vehicle underbody, e.g. from pavements,
potholes, stones, etc.
• No operations or modifications whatsoever are permitted on any part of the airbag system (electronic unit, wiring,
etc.) (such work must be carried out by qualified Renault Network personnel).
• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the airbag system.
• As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, is stolen or
broken into.
• When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.
• When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
