METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
(continued)
Side air bags
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 markings
1
on the windscreen
will remind you of the presence of
this equipment.
This system will only operate if a
severe side impact occurs.
Warnings concerning the
side air bag
• Fitting seat covers:
seats
equipped with an air bag
require
special
covers
specifically designed for your
car. 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 car (and
including those designed for
another car) 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.
