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.
CENTRE MARK ON SEAT BELTS
(where fitted)
Selecting correct set of seat belts
The centre seat belt buckle (and/or tongue, where
fitted) is identified by the <CENTER> mark. The
centre seat belt tongue can be fastened only into
the centre seat belt buckle.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTS
Fastening seat belts
WARNING
The seatback should not be in a reclined position
any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are
most effective when the passenger sits well back
and straight up in the seat.
1. Adjust the seat. (See “Manual seat adjustment
(where fitted)” earlier in this section.)
