CHILD SAFETY
In all countries there are regulations
governing the use of restraints for
children and babies.
In Europe children under 10 years
of age
(1)
must be seated in an
approved safety device which is
suitable for the weight and size of
the child.
The driver is responsible for
ensuring that this equipment is
used correctly.
Child restraints for which type
approval was obtained after January
1992 offer a level of safety much
greater than for restraints with type
approval before that date.
It is therefore advisable to select a
child restraint that complies with
European regulation ECE 44.
Restraints that comply with this
legislationmustbemarkedwithan
orange label bearing the letter E
followed by a number (which
stands for the country where it is
type approved) and the year in
which the type approval was
granted.
Refer to the Child safety equipment
booklet available from the Renault
Network to choose the seat suited to
your child and recommended for
your vehicle.
Remember that a collision at
31 mph (50 km/h) is the same as
falling a distance of 10 metres.
Expressedinotherterms,
transporting a child without a
restraint is the equivalent of
allowing him or her to play on a
fourth-floor balcony without
railings.
Under no circumstances
should babies or children
be allowed to travel sitting
on the knees of another
passenger in the vehicle.
If a frontal impact occurs at 30 mph
(50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kg
will be transformed into a missile
equivalent to one tonne: you will
find it impossible to hold the child,
even if you yourself are wearing a
belt.
It is particularly dangerous to put
the belt round your child when he
or she is sitting on your lap. Never
use the belt for more than one
person at the same time.
Some passenger seats are not
suitable for the installation of child
seats.
To find the authorised seats and
types of child seats that can be
installed in each of the authorised
seats, refer to the table in the
following pages.
Before installing a child seat in the
front seat (if installation is
permitted)
If fitted to the passenger seat, carry
out the following adjustments:
- move the passenger seat as far
back as possible,
- set the seatback to its fully upright
position,
- raise the seat squab as far as
possible,
- raise the headrest to its highest
setting,
- move the seat belt height control
to the low position.
(1) You must always comply with the
laws of the country in which you are
travelling. They may be different to
the guidelines in this handbook.
