METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT
These are:
■ buckle pretensioners,
■ driver's seat lap belt
pretensioner,
■ force limiters,
■ driver and passenger front
airbags.
These systems are designed to act
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
- seat belt locking,
- the buckle pretensioner (which
engages to correct seat belt play);
- the lap pretensioner (for the
driver's seat), the "low volume"
front airbag and the force limiter;
- the "high volume" front airbag.
Pretensioners
With the ignition switched on, if
there is a severe frontal impact and
depending on the force of the
impact, the system may engage:
- piston 1 which instantly retracts
the seat belt;
- piston 2 on the driver's seat.
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body and thus increase
its efficiency.
• Following an accident
have the entire restraint
system checked.
• No operation whatsoever is
permitted on any part of the
system (pretensioners, airbags,
computers, wiring) and the
system components must not be
reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
• To avoid premature triggering of
the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Renault
Networkpersonnelmayworkon
the pretensioner and airbag
system.
• The electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
• When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact your RENAULT Dealer
fordisposalofthepretensioner
and airbag gas generators.
