CHILD SAFETY
In all countries there are regulations
governing the use of restraints for
children and babies.
In Europe, children under 10 years
of age
(1)
must be seated in an
approved safety device which is
suitable for the weight and size of
the child.
The driver is responsible for ensuring
that this equipment is used correctly.
Child restraints for which type
approval was obtained after January
1992 offer a level of safety much
greater than restraints with type
approval before that date.
It is therefore advisable to select a
child restraint that complies with
European regulation ECE 44.
Restraints that comply with this
legislation must be marked with
an orange label bearing the letter
E
followed by a number (which
represents the country where it is
type approved) and the year in
which the type approval was granted.
Refer to the Child safety equipment
booklet available from the Renault
Network to choose the seat suited
to your child and recommended for
your vehicle.
Remember that a collision at 30
mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling
a distance of 10 metres. Expressed
in other terms, transporting a child
without a restraint is the equivalent
of allowing him or her to play on
a fourth-floor balcony without
railings.
Under no circumstances
should babies or children
be allowed to travel sitting
on the knees of another
passenger in the vehicle.
If a frontal impact occurs at 30
mph (50 km/h) a child weighing
30 kg (66 lbs) will be transformed
into a missile equivalent to one
ton: you will find it impossible
to hold the child, even if you
yourself are wearing a belt.
It is particularly dangerous to put
the belt round your child when
he or she is sitting on your lap.
Never use the belt for more than
one person at the same time.
There are some passenger seats
on which the installation of child
seats is forbidden.
To find the authorised seats and
types of child seats that can be
installed in each of the authorised
seats, refer to the table in the
following pages.
Before installing a child seat in
the front seat
(if installation is
permitted)
If fitted to the passenger seat, carry
out the following adjustments:
- move the passenger seat as far
back as possible,
- set the seatback to its fully upright
position,
- raise the seat base as far as
possible,
- raise the head restraint to its
highest setting,
- move the seat belt height control
to the low position.
(1) You must always comply with the
laws of the country in which you
are travelling. They may be different
to the guidelines in this handbook.
