CHILD SAFETY (continued)
The right choice
The safety of your children is also
your responsibility.
To ensure that your child has the
maximum possible protection, we
recommend that you use seats
approved by the RENAULT
Network.
If your vehicle is fitted with an
Isofix system you should use an
Isofix seat (see the Isofix child seat
attachment system information in
section 1).
Restraint systems for all the
categories are available. These
systems have been developed in
consultation with the
manufacturers and have been tested
in RENAULT vehicles.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer and
ask him to help you install it.
Category 0 and 0+ (from 0 to 13 kg)
A child's neck is very susceptible to
injury up to the age of two. In a
front-facing seat there is a risk that
the child will sustain neck injuries
in the event of a frontal impact.
RENAULT therefore recommends a
rear-facing seat with a harness that
gives all-round protection (figure 1).
Category 1 (from 9 to 18 kg)
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a
child's pelvis is not fully developed.
Restraints using the vehicle's
three-point belts are not adequate
and there is a risk that the child will
sustain abdominal injuries in the
event of a frontal impact. It is
therefore advisable to use
rear-facing seats (figure 1),
bucket-type seats (figure 2) or seats
with harnesses.
Place the headrest in the top
position to allow you to press the
seatback of the child seat firmly
against the vehicle seatback.
To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use
RENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for your
car and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will provide a
warranty.
