METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE SEAT BELTS
These are:
O a front and rear seat belt
locking system
O a force limiter
O driver and passenger air bags.
Thesesystemsareprovidedtoact
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
There are three possibilities,
depending on the force of the
impact:
- protectionisprovidedbythe
belt only;
- the pretensioner is triggered to
rectify belt position and take up
play in the belt;
- if the air bag and force limiter
are triggered, they provide
additional protection in the
event of the most severe impact.
O Side air bags
Provided for operation in the
event of a violent side impact.
Front and rear seat belt locking
system
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 the seat belt
buckle pulling the seat belt tight
against the body and thereby
improving its efficiency.
• Have the entire
restraint system
checked following an
accident.
• No work whatsoever may be
performedonthepretensioner
system (computer, wiring,
etc.).
• To avoid incorrect 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.
