METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
(continued)
Side air bags
A
This air bag may be fitted to the
front seats and is activated at the
sides of the seats (door side) to
protect the occupants in the event of
a severe side impact.
The
air
bag
operates
through the slits in the
seatbacks
(door
side):
never put any objects in
the slits.
Curtain air bags
B
These are air bags fitted along the
sides of the vehicle in the ceiling
and deploy along the front and rear
side
windows
to
protect
the
passengers in case of a violent side
impact.
The markings
1
on the windscreen
will remind you of the presence of
this equipment.
Warnings concerning the
side air bag
• Fitting seat covers:
Seats
equipped with an air bag
require
special
covers
specifically designed for your
vehicle. Consult your Renault
Dealer to find out if these covers
may be purchased from Renault
outlets. The use of any covers
other than those designed for
your
vehicle
(and
including
those
designed
for
another
vehicle) may affect the operation
of these air bags and reduce your
protection.
• Do not place any accessories,
objects or even animals between
the seat back and the door. This
may prevent the air bag from
operating
correctly
or
cause
injury if the air bag is deployed.
• No
work
or
modification
whatsoever may be performed on
the seat except by qualified
Renault network personnel.
