Security systems (Renault Fluence 1)

Adjusting the seat belt

The shoulder branch of the 1st belt should be positioned as close as possible to the lower part of the neck, but not rest on it.

The pelvic branch of belt 2 should fit snugly against the hips and support the pelvis.

Fastening the seat belt

Slowly, without jerking, pull out the belt and insert the belt buckle 3 into the lock 4 (check the reliability of the belt fixation in the lock by pulling the buckle 3). If the belt locks, pull the belt strap back a considerable distance and pull the belt out again.

Height adjustment of the front seat belt

Using button 5, adjust the height of the seat belt so that the shoulder section of the belt 1 is positioned as shown above.

To lower the belt, press button 5 and lower the belt at the same time.


To raise the belt, press button 5 and raise the belt at the same time.

Unlocking the belt

Press button 6 and, holding the belt, let it automatically wind onto the reel.



Front seat belt reminder light The light comes on in the central display when the engine is started if the driver's or front passenger's seat belts are not fastened (if the seat is occupied) if the seat belts are not fastened, when the speed reaches approximately 20 km/h, the lamp flashes and a warning signal sounds for approximately 2 minutes.

Airbags

The driver and front passenger seats are equipped with airbags.

The inscription "Airbag" on the steering wheel, on the dashboard (location of the airbag A), and also, depending on the vehicle's configuration, a sticker on the lower part of the windshield indicates the presence of this equipment on the vehicle.





When the ignition is turned on, the indicator lamp 1 located on the instrument cluster lights up for a few seconds.

If the indicator lamp does not light when the ignition is turned on or lights up when the engine is running, this indicates a malfunction in the system (airbags, seat belt pretensioners, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats.


Disabling the front passenger airbag



To install a child seat in the front passenger seat, you must deactivate the front passenger restraint system.

To deactivate the airbag: Press and turn lock 1 to the OFF position.

With the ignition on, be sure to check that the indicator lamp 2 lights up on the central display and, depending on the vehicle equipment, the message appears "Passenger airbag off".

Attention.

• If the front passenger airbag on/off system is faulty, do not install a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat.
• It is not recommended to seat a passenger in this seat.

Installing a child seat

Two rings 1 are located between the backrest and the seat cushion and are marked.

To make it easier to install and lock the child seat in the rings 1, use the child seat access guides 2.



The third ring is used to secure the top tether on some child seats.



Pass the belt between the seat back and the rear shelf. Fasten the hook to one of the rings 3 located in the luggage compartment (they are visible in the 3 and 5-door versions, and in the station wagon body they are located under the mat and are marked).

Pull the belt so that the back of the child seat is in contact with the back of the vehicle seat.
