Renault Megane 1.4 l 16V Manual page 31

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT AND REAR SIDE SEAT BELTS
All the warnings given below are designed to ensure that the air bag can inflate correctly and to prevent 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. The air bags and seat belts are integral parts of
the same protection system. It is therefore essential that the seat belt is worn at all times. If seat belts are not
worn, it exposes the occupants 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 air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are
always possible with air bags.
The air bag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if the
vehicle turns over.
Air bags for driver and passenger
• No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on the entire driver and passenger air bag system (computer,
wiring, etc.) except by qualified Renault network personnel.
• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Renault Network personnel 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, 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).
