METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT (continued)
Operation
This system is only operational
when the ignition is switched 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(s) then
deflate(s) immediately so that the
passengers are not impeded in any
wayastheygetoutofthevehicle.
Special feature of the front
airbag
There are two volumes of operation
depending on the severity of the
impact:
- "low volume" airbag, this is the
firstdegreeofoperation;
- "high volume" airbag. The airbags
seams tear so that a greater volume
of air is released into the bag (for
the most severe impacts).
Operating faults
Warning light 1 will light up on the
instrument panel when the ignition
isturnedonandthenwillgoout
after a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the
ignition is switched on, or lights up
while the engine is running, there is
a fault in the system (pretensioners,
airbag).
Consult your RENAULT Dealer as
soon as possible. Your protection
will be reduced until this fault is
rectified.
