CHILD SAFETY
(continued)
The right choice
The safety of your children is also
your responsibility.
To ensure that your child has the
maximum possible protection, we
recommend that you use seats
obtained from a Renault Dealer.
If your vehicle is fitted with an
Isofix system you should use an
Isofix seat (see section 1, paragraph
"Isofix
child
seat
attachment
system").
Restraint
systems
for
all
the
categories
are
available.
These
systems have been developed in
consultation
with
the
manufacturers and have been tested
in Renault vehicles.
Consult your Renault Dealer and
ask him to help you install it.
Category O and O+
A child’s neck is very susceptible to
injury up to the age of two. In a
front-facing seat there is a risk that a
child will sustain neck injuries in
the event of a frontal collision.
Renault therefore recommends a
rear-facing seat with a harness that
gives all-round protection (figure 1).
Category 1
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a
child’s pelvis is not fully developed.
Restraints using three-point belts
are not adequate and there is a risk
that
the
child
will
sustain
abdominal injuries in the event of a
frontal collision. It is therefore
advisable to use rear-facing seats
(figure 1), bucket type seats (figure
2) or seats with harnesses.
To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use
RENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for your
car and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will provide a
warranty.
