METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)
Operation
The system is only operational after
the ignition has been switched on
(ignition key in position M “ignition
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.
Operating faults
Warning light 2 will light up on the
instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then go 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.

principles of pyrotechnics. This
explains why, when the airbag
inflates, it will generate heat,
produce smoke (this does not
mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon
detonation. In a situation where
an airbag is required, it will
inflate immediately and this may
cause some minor, superficial
grazing to the skin.
