METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE SEAT BELTS (continued)
Operation
This system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
airbag(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 airbag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers
are not impeded in any way when
they get out of the vehicle.
Special feature of the front
airbag
There are two volumes of operation
depending on the severity of the
impact:
- ‘low volume’ airbag: this is the first
level of deployment;
- ‘large volume’ airbag: the airbag
seams tear so that a greater volume
of gas is released into the airbag
(for the most severe impacts).
Operating faults
å
This indicator light on the
instrument panel lights up
when the ignition is turned
on and 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.
