METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT (continued)
Side airbags
These airbags may be fitted to the
front seats and are deployed at the
sides of the seats (door side) to
protect the occupants in the event of
a severe side impact.
The slits on the front
seatbacks (door side) and
the gap between the rear
bench seatback and the
interior fittings form the trigger
area for the airbag, so it is
forbidden to place any objects
there.
Warnings concerning the
side airbag
• Fitting seat covers: Seats
equipped with an airbag
require special covers
specifically designed for your
vehicle. Consult your RENAULT
Dealer to see if appropriate
covers are available from
RENAULT outlets. The use of any
covers other than those designed
for your vehicle (and including
those designed for another
vehicle) may affect the operation
of these airbags and reduce your
protection.
• Do not place any accessories,
objects or pets between the
seatback and the door. This may
prevent the airbag from operating
correctly or cause injury if the
airbag is deployed.
• No work or modification
whatsoever may be carried out
on the seat, except by qualified
RENAULT Network personnel.
