All the warnings below OJ'C given so that, if the airbag is activated, it is not obslnlcted in any way and also to pr•••ent the
risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. The airbags and seal belts are integral parts of
the samo protection system.ltts therefore essential to wear the seat belt at nll times. Ifseat belts are not worn. the
occupants o f the vehicle are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. Tho risk of minor
supomcial injuries occurring w'hen the airbag is dep loyed may also increase, although such m inor injuries are
always possible w;th airbags.

• lt is strictly forbidden to work on or modify any part of the airbag system (computer. wiring. etc.); such work must
only be undertaken by <t~J.alified RENAULt Network personnel.
• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which mny cause
injury, onl)' qualified RENAUCf Networi: personnel may wori: on the airbog syst em.
• As a safety precaution. have the airbag system checked if your vehiclo has been involved in an accident, is stolen or
broken into.
• When soiling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this h andbook with the vehlclo.
• When SCI'Opping your ,·ehicle, contact your RENAUJ:l' Dealer for disposal of the gas generator{s).
