PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT

USAGE

If you are wearing the seat belt properly adjusted

and sitting upright and well back in the seat, chances

of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the

severity of injury may be greatly reduced. RENAULT

strongly encourages you and all of your passengers

to buckle up every time you drive, even if your seat-

ing position includes the supplemental air bag sys-

tems.

SEAT BELTS

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

1-9

WARNING

•

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony

structure of the body, and should be worn low

across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis,

chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing

the lap section of the belt across the abdomi-

nal area must be avoided. Serious injury may

occur if a seat belt is not worn properly.

•

Position the lap belt as low and snug as pos-

sible around the hips, not the waist. A lap belt

worn too high could increase the risk of inter-

nal injuries in an accident.

•

Do not allow more than one person to use the

same seat belt. Each belt assembly must only

be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to

put a belt around a child being carried on the

occupant’s lap.

•

Never carry more people in the vehicle than

there are seat belts.

•

Never wear seat belts inside out. Belts should

not be worn with straps twisted. Doing so may

reduce their effectiveness.

•

Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as

possible, consistent with comfort, to provide

the protection for which they have been de-

signed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the

protection afforded to the wearer.

•

Every person who drives or rides in this ve-

hicle should use a seat belt at all times. Chil-

dren should be in the rear seats and in an

appropriate restraint.

•

Do not put the belt behind your back or under

your arm. Always route the shoulder belt over

your shoulder and across your chest. The belt

should be away from your face and neck, but

not falling off your shoulder. Serious injury

may occur if a seat belt is not worn properly.

•

No modifications or additions should be made

by the user which will either prevent the seat

belt adjusting devices from operating to re-

move slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly

from being adjusted to remove slack.

•

Care should be taken to avoid contamination

of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemi-

cals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning

may safely be carried out using mild soap and

water. The belt should be replaced if webbing

becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.

•

It is essential to replace the entire assembly

after it has been worn in a severe impact even

if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

•

All seat belt assemblies including retractors

and attaching hardware should be inspected

after any collision by an approved dealer or

qualified workshop. RENAULT recommends

that all seat belt assemblies in use during a

collision be replaced unless the collision was

minor and the belts show no damage and con-

tinue to operate properly. Seat belt assem-

blies not in use during a collision should also

be inspected and, when necessary, replaced

if either damage or improper operation is

noted.

•

Once the pre-tensioner seat belt (where fit-

ted) has activated, it cannot be reused. It must

be replaced together with the retractor. Con-

tact an approved dealer or qualified work-

shop.

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•

Removal and installation of the pre-tensioner

seat belt system (where fitted) components

should be done by an approved dealer or

qualified workshop.

CHILD SAFETY

WARNING

•

Infants and children need special protection.

The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them prop-

erly. The shoulder belt may come too close to

the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over

their small hipbones. In an accident, an im-

properly fitted seat belt could cause serious

or fatal injury.

•

Always use an appropriate child restraint sys-

tem.

Children need adults to help protect them. They

need to be properly restrained. The proper restraint

depends on the child’s size.

Infants and small children

RENAULT recommends that infants and small chil-

dren be seated in a child restraint system. You

should choose a child restraint system that fits your

vehicle and the child, and always follow the manu-

facturer’s instructions for installation and use.

Large children

WARNING

•

Never allow children to stand or kneel on any

seats.

•

Never allow children in the luggage areas

while the vehicle is moving. A child could be

seriously injured in an accident or sudden

stop.

Children who are too large for a child restraint sys-

tem should be seated and restrained by the seat

belts that are provided.
If the child’s seating position has a shoulder belt that

fits close to the face or neck, the use of a booster

seat (commercially available) may help overcome

this. The booster seat should raise the child so that

the shoulder belt is properly positioned across the

top, middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt

is low on the hips. The booster seat should also fit

the vehicle seat. Once the child has grown so that

the shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face or

neck of the child, use the shoulder belt without the

booster seat. In addition, there are many types of

child restraint systems available for larger children

that should be used for maximum protection.

PREGNANT WOMEN

RENAULT recommends that pregnant women use

seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug, and

always position the lap belt as low as possible

around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder

belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never

run the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area.

Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.

INJURED PERSONS

RENAULT recommends that injured persons use

seat belts. Contact your doctor for specific recom-

mendations.

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTS
Fastening seat belts

WARNING

The seatback should not be in a reclined position

any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are

most effective when the passenger sits well back

and straight up in the seat.
1. Adjust the seat. (See “Manual seat adjustment

(where fitted)” earlier in this section.)

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and

insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear

and feel the latch engage.

•

The retractor is designed to lock during a

sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling

motion permits the seat belt to move, and

allows you some freedom of movement in

the seat.

•

If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its

fully retracted position, firmly pull the belt

and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt

out of the retractor.

3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug on the

hips as shown.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retrac-

tor to take up extra slack. Be sure the shoulder

belt is routed over your shoulder and is snug

across your chest.

Shoulder belt height adjustment (for

front seats)

WARNING

•

The shoulder belt anchor height should be

adjusted to the position best for you. Failure

to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the

entire restraint system and increase the

chance or severity of injury in an accident.

•

The shoulder belt should rest on the middle

of the shoulder. It must not rest against the

neck.

•

Be sure that the seat belt is not twisted in any

way.

•

Be sure that the shoulder belt anchor is se-

cured by trying to move the shoulder belt an-

chor up and down after adjustment.

To adjust, pull on the release button

➀

and move

the shoulder belt anchor to the proper position

der. The belt should be away from your face and

neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Release the

button to lock the shoulder belt anchor into position.

Unfastening seat belts

Push the button on the buckle. The seat belt auto-

matically retracts.

Checking seat belt operation

Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt

movement:

•

When the seat belt is pulled quickly from the

retractor.

•

When the vehicle slows down rapidly.

To increase your confidence in the seat belts, check

the operation by grasping the shoulder belt and pull-

ing forward quickly. The retractor should lock and

restrict further belt movement. If the retractor does

not lock during this check, contact an approved

dealer or qualified workshop immediately.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

Periodically check that the seat belt and all the metal

components, such as buckles, tongues, retractors,

flexible wires and anchors, work properly. If loose

parts, deterioration, cuts or other damage on the

seat belt webbing is found, the entire seat belt as-

sembly should be replaced.
If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of the seat

belt anchors, the seat belts may retract slowly. Wipe

the shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.
To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a mild soap

solution or any solution recommended for cleaning

upholstery or carpet. Then wipe with a cloth and

allow the seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow

the seat belts to retract until they are completely dry.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD

RESTRAINT USAGE

WARNING

•

Infants and small children should never be

carried on your lap. It is not possible for even

the strongest adult to resist the forces of a

severe accident. The child could be crushed

between the adult and parts of the vehicle.

Also, it is dangerous to put a seat belt around

a child being carried on the occupant’s lap.

•

Infants and children need special protection.

The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them prop-

erly. The shoulder belt may come too close to

the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over

their small hip bones. In an accident, an im-

properly fitting seat belt could cause serious

or fatal injury.

•

Infants and small children should always be

placed in an appropriate child restraint sys-

tem while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use

a child restraint system can result in serious

injury or death.

•

Child restraint systems specially designed for

infants and small children are available from

several manufacturers. When selecting any

child restraint systems, place your child in the

child restraint system and check the various

adjustments to be sure that the child restraint

system is compatible with your child. Always

follow the manufacturer’s instructions for in-

stallation and use.

•

RENAULT recommends that the child restraint

system be installed in the rear seat (Double

Cab model). According to accident statistics,

children are safer when properly restrained in

the rear seat rather than in the front seat.

•

Follow all of the child restraint system manu-

facturer’s instructions for installation and use.

When purchasing a child restraint system, be

sure to select one which will fit your child and

vehicle. It may not be possible to properly in-

stall some types of child restraint systems in

your vehicle.

•

The direction of the child restraint, either

front-facing or rear-facing, depends on the

type of the child restraint and the size of the

child. Refer to the child restraint manufactur-

er’s instructions for details.

•

For a front-facing child restraint system,

check to make sure the shoulder belt does

not fit close to child’s face or neck. If you

SSS0099Z

CHILD RESTRAINTS

1-14

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

must install a front-facing child restraint sys-

tem in the front seat, see “Installation on front

passenger’s seat” later in this section.

•

Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-

tem on the front passenger’s seat when the

front passenger’s air bag is active. Supple-

mental front-impact air bags inflate with great

force. A rear-facing child restraint system

could be struck by the supplemental front-im-

pact air bags in an accident and could seri-

ously injure or kill your child.

•

Do not install a child restraint in the jump seats

(where fitted for King Cab model). These

seats are not suitable for child restraint instal-

lation.

•

Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned to

fit a child restraint system, but as upright as

possible. see “Installation on rear outboard

seats” later in this section and “Child restraint

installation using three-point type seat belt”

later in this section.

•

If the seat belt in the position where a child

restraint system is installed requires a locking

clip and if it is not used, injuries could result

from a child restraint system tipping over dur-

ing normal vehicle braking or cornering.

•

After attaching a child restraint system, test it

before you place the child in it. Tilt it from side

to side. Try to tug it forward and check if it is

held securely in place. The child restraint sys-

tem should not move more than 25 mm (1 in).

If the restraint is not secure, tighten the belt

as necessary, or install the restraint in another

seat and test it again.

•

Check the child restraint system in your ve-

hicle to be sure that it is compatible with the

vehicle’s seat belt system.

•

If a child restraint system is not anchored

properly, the risk of a child being injured in a

collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.

•

Improper use of a child restraint system can

increase the risk or severity of injury for both

the child and other occupants in the vehicle.

•

Always use an appropriate child restraint sys-

tem. An improperly installed child restraint

system could lead to serious injury or death in

an accident.

•

When the child restraint system is not in use,

keep it secured with the ISOFIX and i-Size

child restraint system or a seat belt to prevent

it from being thrown around in case of a sud-

den stop or accident.

RENAULT recommends that infants and small chil-

dren be seated in a child restraint system. You

should choose a child restraint system that fits your

vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s in-

structions for installation and use. In addition, there

are many types of child restraint systems available

for larger children that should be used for maximum

protection.

CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint system left in a

closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the

seating surface and buckles before placing your

child in a child restraint system.

UNIVERSAL CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR

FRONT SEAT AND REAR SEATS (for

Europe)

ISOFIX AND I-SIZE CHILD

RESTRAINT SYSTEM (for second row

seats)

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor points

that are used with ISOFIX and i-Size child restraint

systems.

ISOFIX lower anchor point locations

The ISOFIX anchor points are provided to install

ISOFIX and i-Size child restraints in the second row

outboard seating positions only. Do not attempt to

install a child restraint in the centre seating posi-

tion using the ISOFIX anchors.
The ISOFIX anchors are located at the rear of the

seat cushion near the seatback. The word ISOFIX

on each cover clearly identifies the locations of the

ISOFIX anchors.

The ISOFIX anchor points are located under the

covers, labelled as shown, at the bottom of the rear

seat cushions. To access an ISOFIX anchor point

insert your finger into the cover and pull the cover

off.
CAUTION
Store the loose ISOFIX covers to avoid losing

and damaging them. For example, in the console

box (see “Storage” in the “2. Instruments and

controls” section).

ISOFIX child restraint anchor

attachments

ISOFIX and i-Size child restraints include two rigid

attachments that can be connected to two anchors

located in the seat. With this system, you do not

have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child

restraint. Check your child restraint for a label stat-

ing that it is compatible with the ISOFIX or i-Size

child restraints. This information may also be in the

instructions provided by the child restraint manufac-

turer.
ISOFIX and i-Size child restraints generally require

the use of a top tether strap or other anti-rotation

devices such as support legs. When installing

ISOFIX or i-Size child restraints, carefully read and

follow the instructions in this manual and those sup-

plied with the child restraints. (See “Child restraint

anchorage (where fitted)” later in this section.)

CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE

(where fitted)

Your vehicle is designed to accommodate a child

restraint system on the rear seat. When installing a

child restraint system, carefully read and follow the

instructions in this manual and those supplied with

the child restraint system.

WARNING

Child restraint anchorages are designed to with-

stand only those loads imposed by correctly fit-

ted child restraints. Under no circumstances are

they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses or

for attaching other items or equipment to the

vehicle. Doing so could damage the child re-

straint anchorages. The child restraint will not be

properly installed using the damaged anchorage,

and a child could be seriously injured or killed in

a collision.

ISOFIX Top Tether anchor location

The anchor point is a strap loop located on the top

of the second row centre seatback

➁

. There are

two similar straps at the back of the 2nd row outer

seats that are intended only as guide loops

➀

.

If the child restraint manufacturer recommends that

the top tether strap be attached, attach and tighten

the top tether strap to the top tether anchor (loop).

Refer to the child restraint instructions and the fol-

lowing steps.

1. On the rear right outboard seating position:

1) Remove the head restraint of the rear right

outboard seat.

2) Route the top tether strap

➀

through the

right top tether guide (loop)

➁

and under the

centre shoulder belt

➂

.

3) Attach the top tether strap

➀

to the top tether

anchor (loop)

➃

at the rear centre seating

position.

2. On the rear left outboard seating position:

1) Remove the head restraint of the rear left out-

board seat.

2) Route the top tether strap

➀

through the left

top tether guide (loop)

➄

.

3) Attach the top tether strap

➀

to the top tether

anchor (loop)

➃

at the rear centre seating

position.

3. On the rear left and right seat simultaneous

use:
1) Follow steps 1 to 3 for each individual seat

fitment but do not tighten the straps until both

seats are anchored.

2) Then tighten each seat in turn taking care to

ensure equal tension.

Tighten the top tether according to the child re-

straint manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
After installing the required child restraint sys-

tem please ensure all portions of anchor straps

are securely tensioned.
When the top tether strap is properly tightened, the

top tether anchor (loop) may bend. This is normal

and will not damage the vehicle.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION

USING ISOFIX

WARNING

•

Attach ISOFIX and i-Size child restraints only

at the specified locations. For the ISOFIX

lower anchor locations, see “ISOFIX lower an-

chor point locations” earlier in this section. If

a child restraint is not secured properly, your

child could be seriously injured or killed in an

accident.

•

Do not install child restraints that require the

use of a top tether strap to seating positions

that do not have a top tether anchor.

•

Do not secure a child restraint in the centre

rear seating position using the ISOFIX lower

anchors. The child restraint will not be se-

cured properly.

•

Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your

fingers into the lower anchor area and feeling

to make sure there are no obstructions over

the ISOFIX anchors, such as seat belt web-

bing or seat cushion material. The child re-

straint will not be secured properly if the

ISOFIX anchors are obstructed.

•

Child restraint anchorages are designed to

could be seriously injured or killed in a colli-

sion.
