METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
(continued)
Driver and passenger airbags
(continued)
Operation
This system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
If a severe
frontal
impact occurs, the
airbag(s) inflate(s) rapidly,
cushioning the impact of the driver’s
head and chest against the steering
wheel and the front passenger’s
head against the dashboard. The
airbag(s) then deflate(s) immediately
so that the passengers are not
impeded in any way when leaving
the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle, the
passenger airbag system is linked to
a front passenger airbag deactivation
warning light 2 on the instrument
panel. This warning light is linked
to the passenger airbag deactivation
system through the ignition key.
It lights up to indicate that the
passenger airbag will not be inflated
in the event of an impact (refer to
the section on Deactivating the front
passenger airbag).
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 if it
flashes, 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.
