METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)
Operation
This system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the
airbags inflate rapidly, cushioning
the impact of the driver's head and
chest against the steering wheel and
the front passenger against the
dashboard. The airbags then deflate
immediately so that the passengers
are not in any way hindered from
leaving the vehicle.
Special feature of the front
airbag
There are two volumes of operation
depending on the severity of the
impact:
- “low volume” airbag,thisisthe
firstdegreeofoperation;
- “large volume” airbag, the straps
are torn in order to allow the
airbag to inflate to a higher volume
(intheeventofmoresevere
impacts).
Operating faults
When the ignition is switched on,
warning light 1 comes on
in the instrument panel, then goes
out after a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the
ignition is switched on, or comes on
when the engine is running, there is
a fault in the system.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer as
soon as possible. Your protection
will be reduced until this fault is
rectified.
