METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
(continued)
Operation
This system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
If a severe
frontal impact occurs, the
air bag(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 air bag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers
are not impeded in any way when
they get out of the vehicle.
Faults
If there is a system fault, the
multifunction warning light will be
displayed with the airbag message
alternating
with the Service
message.
Consult your Renault Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be
reduced
until this problem is
rectified.
The air bag system uses a
pyrotechnic principle. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will generate
heat, produce smoke (this does not
mean that a fire is about to start)
and make an explosive noise. In a
situation where an air bag is
required,
it must inflate
immediately and this may cause
some minor, superficial grazing to
the skin.
