CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat: general information

Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagrams on the following pages show you how to attach a child seat. The types of child seats indicated may not be available. Before using a differ-ent child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted. Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible. Check that when installing the child seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of coming loose from its base. If you have to remove the headrest, check that it is correctly stored so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact. Always attach the child seat to the vehicle even if it is not in use so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.

In the front seat
The laws concerning children travel- ling in the front passenger seat differ in every country. Consult the legislation in force and follow the indications on the diagrams on the following pages.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if authorised):

• lower the seat belt as far as possible;
• move the seat as far back as possible;
• gently tilt the seatback away from vertical (approximately 25°);
• on equipped vehicles, raise the seat base as far as possible.

In all cases, for vehicles fitted with adjustable headrests, lift the headrest on the seat as high as possible so that it does not interfere with the child seat (refer to the information on “Front head- rest” in section 1).

After installing the child seat, when this is possible, you can move the vehicle seat forward if necessary (so as to leave enough space in the rear seats for passengers or other child seats). For a rear-facing child seat, do not let it touch the dashboard or move it to the furthest forward position. Do not change these settings after the child seat is installed.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before installing a child seat on this seat, check that the airbag has been deactivated (refer to “Child safety: front passenger airbag deactivation/activation” in Section 1).

In the rear seat
A carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing child seat, then move back the seat in front as far as it will go, although without allowing it to come into contact with the child seat. For the safety of the child in the forward-facing seat, do not move the seat in front back past the middle of the runner, do not tilt the seatback too far (maximum of 25° ) and raise the seat as much as possible. Check that the forward-facing child seat is resting against the back of the vehicle seat and that the headrest of the vehicle is not obstructing its use.

Front passengerairbag activation
You should reactivate the airbag as soon as you remove the child seat from the front passenger seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger in the event of an impact. To reactivate the airbag: with the vehicle stationary and the ignition off, push and turn the lock 1 to the ON position. With the ignition on, you must check that the warning light 2 is off. The front passenger airbag has been activated.

Operating faults
In the event that the front passenger airbag activation/deactivation system is faulty, child seats must not be fitted to the front seat. Allowing any other passenger to sit in that seat is not recommended.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible.

Steering wheel height adjustment
Pull lever 1 and move the steering wheel to the required position; push lever to lock the steering wheel. Make sure that the steering wheel is correctly locked.

Power-assisted steering
The variable power-assisted steering system is equipped with an electronic control system which alters the level of assistance to suit the vehicle speed. Steering is made easier during parking manoeuvres (for added comfort) while the force needed to steer increases progressively as the speed rises (for enhanced safety at high speeds). For safety reasons, only adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is station-ary. Never switch off the igni-tion when travelling down-hill, and avoid doing so in normal driving (assistance is not provided). Never leave the steering wheel on full lock when the vehicle is station-ary. With the engine switched off, or if there is a system fault, it is still pos-sible to turn the steering wheel. The force required will be greater.
A noise may be heard when the steering wheel is moved quickly. This is normal.

Trip mileage resetting
With “trip mileage recorder” selected on the display, press button 1 or 2 until the mileage recorder resets to zero.

Resetting the journey parameters (reset button)
With one of the journey parameters se-lected on the display, press button 1 or 2 until the display resets.

Automatic resetting of the journey parameters
Resetting occurs automatically when the maximum value of any of the pa-rameters is exceeded.

Resetting the estimated range
Press and hold one of the buttons 1 or 2. Estimated range is calculated in proportion to the traction battery charge level.

Reading energy consumption values
Some vehicle equipment items con-sume energy: the energy consumed by the vehicle may therefore differ from the energy consumed on the electric counter.

Interpreting some of the values displayed after resetting
Average energy consumption and speed are all the more stable and reli- able as the distance travelled from the last reset is great. The estimated range displayed after reset may not be indicative of your true range (which depends on your driv- ing style): this is because the on-board computer is programmed with a prede- fined consumption over an average of around 18 miles (30 km). This is gradu- ally replaced by your true consumption as the travel distance increases: the display will be all the more stable and reliable as the distance travelled since the last reset is great.

Setting the time

Resetting the clock A
(depending on vehicle) Display the “Clock” page on the instru-ment panel by pressing one of the buttons on stalk 1. After two seconds, the hours and min-utes start flashing. Press and hold the bottom button to enter the hour setting mode. When only the hours flash, press the top button to scroll through them. Press and hold the bottom button to enter the minute setting mode. When only the minutes flash, press the top button to scroll through them. Confirm by pressing and holding the bottom button on stalk 1. Vehicles equipped with a navigation system, radio, etc. Refer to the equipment instructions for the special features.

Exterior temperature
On equipped vehicles, the exterior tem-perature is displayed at A. If it is be-tween -3°C and +3°C, the °C charac-ters flash (signalling a risk of ice). For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not being driven. For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not being driven.

Exterior temperature indicator
As ice formation is related to climatic exposure, local air humidity and temperature, the external temperature alone is not sufficient to detect ice.

Interior rear view mirror
The interior rear view mirror is adjusta-ble. When driving at night, tilt lever 1 to avoid being dazzled by the headlights of the vehicle behind.

Heated door mirrors
When the engine is started, mirror de-icing is activated with the rear screen de-icing/demisting.

Folding door mirrors
Move button 2 to position D to fold the door mirrors in. To reset them for driv-ing, return to position B. If you fold the door mirrors in manually before resetting them to driving posi-tion B, you must first turn button 2 to position D.

Horn
Press one of points 2.

Direction indicators
Move stalk 1 parallel to the steering wheel and in the direction you are going to turn. When driving on the motorway, the steering wheel is not often turned enough to return the stalk automatically to 0. There is an intermediate position in which the switch may be held when changing lanes. You can also briefly place stalk 1 in the intermediate position, causing the indi-cator light to flash three times. When the stalk is released, it automati-cally returns to 0.

Headlight flasher
Pull stalk 1 towards you to flash the headlights.

Hazard warning lights
Pressing switch 3 illuminates all four direction indicators and the side-mounted indicator lights simul-taneously. It must only be used in an emergency to warn other drivers that you have had to stop in an area where stopping is prohibited or unexpected, or that you are obliged to drive under spe-cial conditions. Depending on the vehicle, the hazard warning lights may come on automati-cally under heavy deceleration. You can switch them off by pressing switch 3.

Manual operation
Turn the end of stalk 1 until the symbol is opposite mark 2. This indicator light on the instrument panel comes on.

Automatic operation
(depending on vehicle) When the engine is started, the dipped beam headlights switch on or off auto-matically depending on the brightness of the light outside, without any action on stalk 1. This function can be deactivated or re-activated.

• To switch it on: with the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, press and hold button 3 for at least four sec-onds. Depending on the vehicle, the message “lights ON” appears on the instrument panel.
• To deactivate: with the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, press and hold button 3 for at least four sec-onds. Depending on the vehicle, the message “lights OFF” appears on the instrument panel.

Main beam headlights
With stalk 1 in dipped beam headlights position, move the stalk towards you. The indicator light on the instrument panel then lights up.
To return to the dipped beam head-light position, pull the stalk towards you again.

Before driving at night: check the electrical equip-ment is operating correctly and adjust your headlights (if your vehicle is not carrying its normal load). As a general precau-tion, check that the lights are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow or ob-jects being transported).

EXTERNAL LIGHTING AND SIGNALS

“See-me-home lighting” function
(depending on vehicle) This function (useful, for example, when opening a gate, garage, etc.) en-ables you to switch the dipped head-lights on momentarily. With the ignition off and the headlights off, pull stalk 1 towards you: the dipped beam headlights come on for approxi-mately sixty seconds. This action may be carried out no more than four times for a maximum lighting period of four minutes. To switch off the lights before they switch off automatically, turn the end of stalk 1 then bring it back to position 0, or switch on the ignition.

Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:

• manually, move stalk 1 to its original position;
• automatically, the lights are switched off when the engine is stopped, the driver’s door is opened or, depending on the vehicle, when the vehicle is locked. In this case, the next time the engine is started the lights will be switched back on according to the position of the ring 2.

Lights-on reminder buzzer
A warning beep sounds when the driver’s door is opened to warn you that the lights are still on..

All of the Kangoo line’s vast and adaptable cargo capacity is retained, and driving pleasure is quiet and emission-free. For individuals looking for a practical, affordable, and environmentally friendly light commercial vehicle, the 2020 Renault Kangoo Z.E. is a wise option.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

Depending on the vehicle, they will consist of:

• seat belt pretensioners;
• front airbags 1 for the driver and front passenger.

These systems are designed to act independently or together when the vehi-cle is subjected to a frontal impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger:

• seat belt locking2;
• the seat belt pre-tensioner (which enables to correct seat belt slack);
• the front airbag.

Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt against the body, holding the occupant more securely against the seat, thus increasing the seat belt’s efficiency. With the ignition on, following a significant frontal impact and depending on the severity of the impact, the system may trigger the seat belt pretensioner which instantly retracts the seat belt.

• Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.
• No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, airbags, computers, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.
• To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified personnel from an approved dealer may work on the pretensioner and airbag system.
• The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially trained technician using special equipment.
• When the vehicle is scrapped, contact an approved dealer for disposal of the pretensioner and air bag gas generators.

Driver and passenger front airbags
They are fitted to the front seats on the driver’s side and, depending on the vehicle, on the passenger’s side as well. Depending on the vehicle, the presence of this equipment is indicated by the word “airbag” on the steering wheel and dashboard (airbag zone A) and a symbol on the lower section of the windscreen.

Each airbag system consists of:

• an airbag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger;
• an electronic unit for system monitoring which controls the gas generator’s electrical trigger system;
• a single indicator light å on the instrument panel;
• remote sensors.

Operation
This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the airbags inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver’s head and chest against the steering wheel and of the front passenger against the dashboard. The airbags then deflate immediately so that the passengers are not in any way hindered from leaving the vehicle.

Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level. The airbag system uses pyrotechnic principles. This explains why, when the airbag inflates, it will generate heat, produce smoke (this does not mean that a fire is about to start) and make a noise upon detonation. In a situation where an airbag is required, it will inflate immediately and this may cause some minor, superficial grazing to the skin or other problems.

The following cases trigger the pretensioners or airbags.
In a frontal impact against a rigid (non-deformable) surface at an impact speed equal to or greater than 16 mph (25 km/h). In a frontal impact with another vehicle of an equivalent or higher category, with an impact area equal to or greater than 40%, where the speed of both vehicles is equal to or greater than 25 mph (40 km/h). In a side impact with another vehicle of an equivalent or higher category, at an impact speed equal to or greater than 31 mph (50 km/h).

Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag

• Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
• Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
• Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone support, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
• The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).
• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: sit with your arms slightly bent (see Section 1 “Adjusting your driving position”). This will allow sufficient space for the airbag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag

• Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone cradle, etc.) to the dashboard in the airbag zone.
• Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (animal, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
• The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep all body parts (knees, hands, head, etc.) away from the dashboard.
• The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED. (Refer to the information on “Child safety: front passenger airbag deactivation/activation” Section 1).

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side airbags
(depending on the vehicle)
This airbag may be fitted to each of the front seats and is activated at the sides of the seats (door side) to protect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.

Curtain airbags
(depending on the vehicle)
These airbags may be fitted along the top of each side of the vehicle and are triggered along the front and rear side door windows to protect the passengers in the event of a severe side impact. Depending on the vehicle, a marking on the windscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passenger compartment.

Warnings concerning the side airbag

• Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an authorised dealer to find out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.
• Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the airbag from operating correctly or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.
• No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
• These airbags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): Never place any objects here.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates. The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with airbags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-tensioners and airbags are not always triggered. Impacts on the underside of the vehicle, eg. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.

• No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the airbag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel may work on the airbag system.
• As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
• When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.
• When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

Operating faults
This warning light 1 will light up on the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on and then go out after a few seconds.
If it does not come on when the ignition is switched on, or if it comes on when the engine is running, there is a fault with the system (airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be reduced until this fault is rectified.

Carrying children
Please ensure that you comply with the legislation of your country. Children, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehi-cle are your responsibility. A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection. Use an approved child seat and ensure you use it correctly. To prevent the doors from being opened, use the “Child safety” device (refer to the information on “Opening and closing the doors” in Section 1). A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres. Transporting a child without restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a fourth-floor balcony without railings. Never travel with a child held in your arms. In the event of an accident, you will not be able to keep hold of the child, even if you yourself are wearing a seat belt. If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child seat and have the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle
Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time. They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or locking the doors. Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly. RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Using a child seat
The level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to restrain your child and on its installation. Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact. Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations of the country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an approved dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle. Before fitting a child seat, read the manual and respect its instructions. If you experience any difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Keep the instructions with the seat.

Set a good example by always fastening your seat belt and teaching your child:

• to strap themselves incorrectly.
• to always get in and out of the car at the curb, away from busy traffic.

Do not use a second-hand child seat or one without an instruction manual. Check that there are no objects in the vicinity of the child seat which could impede its operation. Never leave a child unattended in the vehicle. Check that your child is always strapped in and that the belt or safety harness used is correctly set and adjusted. Avoid wearing bulky clothing which could cause the belts to slacken. Never let your child put their head or arms out of the window. Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, especially if asleep.

Rear-facing child seats
A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this position for as long as possible (until the age of 2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck. Choose a bucket-type seat for best side protection and change it as soon as the child’s head is higher than the shell.

Forward-facing child seats
The child’s head and abdomen need to be protected as a priority. A forward-facing child seat which is firmly attached to the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact to the head. Ensure your child travels in a forward-facing seat with a harness for as long as their size permits.
Choose a bucket-type seat for optimum side protection..

Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can travel using a booster seat, which will enable the seat belt to be adapted to suit his/her size and shape. The booster seat cushion must be fitted with guides to position the seat belt on the child’s thighs rather than the stomach. It is recommended that you use a seat-back fitted with a belt strap guide which can be adjusted in terms of height to position the seat belt in the centre of the shoulder. It must never rest on the neck or on the arm.
Choose a bucket-type seat for optimum side protection. The are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the  ISOFIX system. Attachment via the seat belt The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact. Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are respected. Always check that the seat belt is correctly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat. Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front: the seat should remain firmly fixed. Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting against a window.

The weight must be evenly distributed. The swivelling section must always be locked when the vehicle is driven. Risk of injury.

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 securely locked in position so that the rear seat belts will operate efficiently. Refer to the information on the “Rear bench seat: functions” in Section 3. Seat belts which are incor-rectly adjusted or twisted 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 driv-ing 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 fully de-press the pedals. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel;
• adjust the position of your head-rest. For 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. The shoulder strap 1 should be as close as possible to the base of the neck but not on it. The lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the thighs and against the pelvis. The seat belt must be worn as close to the body as possible. E.g.: avoid wear-ing heavy clothing or keeping bulky ob-jects 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 pull-ing 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 ap-proved dealer.

™ Front seat belt reminder warning light
It remains on when the engine is started if your seat belt is not fatened. When the vehicle reaches a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h), the warning light flashes and a buzzer sounds. Then, the beep sounds at a low volume for 30 seconds, then at a high volume for 90 seconds.

Unfastening
Press button 4 and the seat belt will be rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the belt.

NB: an object placed on the passenger seat base may activate the warning light in some cases.
