ADDITIONAL MEANS OF RESTRAINT
These consist of:
O Seat belt pretensioners.
O A force limiter.
O Driver and passenger airbags.
These systems are designed to act
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
There are three possibilities,
depending on the force of the
impact:
- protection is provided by the belt
only;
- the pretensioner is triggered to
rectify belt position and take up
play in the belt;
- the airbag and the force limiter are
also triggered when there are
severe impacts.
O lateral airbags
Provided for operation in the
event of a severe lateral impact.
Front and rear seat belt
pretensioners
This system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
If the vehicle is subject to a severe
frontal impact, piston 1
immediately retracts and the seat
belt buckle pulls the seat belt tight
against the body, thereby improving
its efficiency.
• Have the entire restraint
system checked
following an accident.
• No work whatsoever may be
performed on the pretensioner
system (computer, wiring, etc.).
• To avoid accidental triggering of
the system which may cause
injury, only qualified RENAULT
Network personnel may work on
the pretensioner system.
• Testing of the electric trigger
system may only be carried out
by a specially trained technician
using special equipment.
• When scrapping your vehicle,
contact your RENAULT Dealer
for disposal of the gas generator.
