ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to
prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags and seat belts are integral parts
of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the
occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of
minor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always
possible with airbags.
If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are not
always triggered. Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, from pavements, potholes, stones etc. can all trigger these
systems.
- No work or modification
whatsoever
may be carried out on any part of the driver or passenger airbag system (computer,
wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.
- To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the airbag system.
- As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or
broken into.
- If the vehicle is lent or resold, inform the new driver of these conditions and pass on the current driver’s handbook.
- When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
