METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
Operation
This system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the
airbags inflate rapidly, cushioning
the impact of the driver's head
and chest against the steering wheel
and the front passenger against
the dashboard. The airbags then
deflate immediately so that the
passengers are not in any way
hindered from leaving the vehicle.
Special feature of the front
airbag
Depending on the severity of the
impact, this has two deployment
volumes and incorporates an
internal ventilation system to
prevent burns caused by the
escaping gases:
- "low volume" airbag: this is the
first level of deployment;
- "large volume" airbag: the airbag
seams tear so that a greater volume
of gas is released into the airbag
(for the most severe impacts).

Operating faults
Warning light 1 will light up on the
instrument panel when the ignition
is switched on and then will go
out after a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the
ignition is switched on, or comes
on when the engine is running,
there is a fault in the system.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer as
soon as possible. Your protection
will be reduced until this fault is
rectified.
