METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
(continued)
Force limiter
Above a certain severity of
impact, this mechanism is used
to limit the force of the belt
against the body so that it is at an
acceptable level.
Warning relating to the
service life of air bags
and pretensioners
The pyrotechnic systems
in air bags and pretensioners
have a limited service life. They
must be replaces after 10 years
and after operation. This must
only be carried out by a Renault
dealer.
The seat belt pretensioners and
the air bag operate together. If
one of the systems has passed the
date when it is due for renewal, it
will alter the overall safety
protection provided.
Air bags
for driver and front passenger
An air bag may be provided for both
the driver and the front passenger.
“Air
bag”
inscriptions
on
the
steering
wheel
and
dashboard
together
with
a
label
on
the
passenger's side sun visor indicate
that the vehicle is equipped with air
bags.
