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's head against
the dashboard. The airbags then
deflate immediately so that the
passengers are not hindered in any
way from leaving the vehicle.
Special feature of the front
airbag
Theairbagcanbetriggeredintwo
different ways, depending on the
force of the impact:
- small volume airbag, this is the
first stage of operation;
- large volume airbag, the straps are
torn in order to allow the airbag to
inflate to a higher volume (in the
event of more severe impacts).
Operating faults
Warning light 1 lightsuponthe
instrument panel 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.
