METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTS
Depending on the vehicle, they
comprise:
■
seat belt pretensioners built into
the inertia reels,
■
load limiter.
These systems are designed to act
independently or together when
the vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
There are two possibilities,
depending on the force of the
impact:
- protection is provided by the belt
only;
- the pretensioner is triggered to
rectify seat belt slack.
Rear seat belt pretensioners
This system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
If the vehicle is subjected to a
severe
frontal
impact, a device
retracts the seat belt, pulling the seat
belt tight against the body and
thus improving its effectiveness.
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact,
this mechanism is used to limit
the force of the belt against the
body so that it is at an acceptable
level.
• Following an accident,
it is necessary to have
the entire restraint system
checked by a qualified
technician.
• No operation whatsoever is
permitted on any part of the
system (pretensioners, airbags,
computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
• To avoid accidental triggering
of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Renault
Network personnel may work
on the pretensioner and airbag
system.
• Testing of the electrical trigger
system may only be carried out
by a specially trained technician
using suitable equipment.
• When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact your RENAULT Dealer
for disposal of the pretensioner
and airbag gas generators.
