METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)
Force limiter
Above a certain severity of impact,
this mechanism is used to limit the
force of the belt against the body so
that it is at an acceptable level.
Warning relating to the
service life of air bags
and pretensioners
The pyrotechnic systems
in air bags and pretensioners
have a limited service life. These
systems must be replaced each
time they are activated but at the
latest after they have been in
service for ten years. This work
must always be undertaken by a
Renault Dealer.
Theseatbeltpretensionersand
the air bag operate together. If
one of the systems has passed the
date when it is due for renewal, it
will alter the overall safety
protection provided.
Driver and passenger air bag
An air bag may be provided for both
the driver and the front passenger.
“Air bag” inscriptions on the
steering wheel and dashboard
together with a label on the lower
part of the windscreen indicate that
the vehicle is equipped with an air
bag.
