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.
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 0 and 0+
A child's neck is very susceptible to
injury up to the age of two. There is a
risk that a child in a front-facing
seat will sustain neck injuries in the
event of a frontal collision. Renault
therefore recommends a rear -facing
seat giving all-round protection and
fitted with a safety harness (figure 1).
Category 1
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a
child's pelvis is not fully developed.
Restraints using the car's
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.
