Renault Clio: Seat belts
Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.
| Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that
the rear seat belts will operate efficiently. Refer to the information on the “Rear bench seat: functions” in Section 3. |
| Incorrectly adjusted or
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident. Use one seat belt per person, whether child or adult. Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this case, ensure that the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen, but do not allow any slack. |
Before starting, first adjust your driving position, then ask all occupants to adjust their seat belts to ensure optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving position
- Sit well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back is positioned correctly;
- adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat should be as far back as possible while still allowing you to depress the clutch pedal fully. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel;
- adjust the position of your headrest.
For the maximum safety, your head must be as close as possible to the headrest;
- adjust the height of the seat. This adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible view;
- adjust the position of the steering wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as possible to the base of the neck but not on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is as close as possible to your body, i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects under the belts, etc.
Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly and ensure that buckle 3 locks into catch 5 (check that it is locked by pulling on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed, pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over 3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an approved dealer.
