Duster seats are of sufficient quality and comfortable. The Duster seat can be folded out - in this form, they form a comfortable place to rest and sleep; in cars in some configurations, heating is provided. Nevertheless, some car owners prefer to replace the standard Duster seat with a luxury seat or a seat from other car models. The main problems of the regular Renault Duster seats are called the need to turn the turntable to change the position of the seats and the poor fixation of the adjusted backrest position.

Front seats Duster

Duster seats can be called comfortable and practical, they hold the fit perfectly, perform well when cornering and during braking. In a Renault Duster car, it is possible to organize a full-fledged sleeping place. For this, the front seats are pushed forward.

A common problem with front Duster seats is a creak at the bottom. This problem can be easily remedied by applying graphite grease to the seat skids and lifting mechanism. If there is a rattling sound in the headrest, it must be coated with silicone grease.

Replacing the front seat Duster:

Move the front seats back, unscrew the 2 screws of the runners using the TORX T40 wrench

Move the seats back and unscrew the 2 rear screws in the same way

If the seat is heated, remove the retainer from the heater connector

Undock the connector, remove the clip from the wiring harness and carefully pull out the seat

Rear seats Duster

During the arrangement of a berth in the Duster car, the rear seats fold out. The rear seats are also folded down to increase the boot capacity to 1,600 liters.

Heated seats Duster

Heated seats Renault Duster is available in any vehicle configuration. Heated seats today is a popular option, without which many motorists simply cannot imagine a modern car (especially in the harsh Russian climate).

If there is a malfunction in the seat heating mechanism, it is easy to fix it on your own or by contacting a specialized service. For example, if the rear seat heating does not work, while the front seats are well heated, it can be concluded that the current-carrying cable has broken. You can restore it by contacting your dealer or car service. If all the Duster seats do not warm up, and, moreover, the cigarette lighter does not work, the cause may be a blown fuse. The fuse box is located on the left under the hood; in case of this breakdown, it will be necessary to replace part F16 with a nominal value of 15A.

Seats are an important part of the car's interior; they are responsible for the comfort and safety of the driver and his passengers on the road. You can buy Renault Duster seats, as well as additional parts for them - a heating system, covers, etc. - in our online store.

We have long and well known, he still makes us talk about himself. Argue. For example, how well the car is made.

1. One of the main advantages of Duster, who brought him popularity, is phenomenal suspension, providing equally comfort and endurance, and good handling for a crossover. Moreover, Duster has an equally cool suspension in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions - despite significant design differences due to different types of transmission. The all-wheel drive has an independent rear suspension, while the front-wheel drive has a semi-independent H-shaped beam. However, excellent suspensions are characteristic of all cars built in - for countries with imperfect roads. And Renault engineers know how to very well select the stiffness of springs and shock absorbers, and even endow the suspension with a decent margin of safety.

2. The difference in the design of the rear suspensions is due to and spare wheel placement options... In the all-wheel drive version, it lies in a niche under the boot floor, in the mono-drive version, it is fixed under the bottom on a bracket. Both solutions have advantages and disadvantages. The under-floor spare tire frees up space in the trunk and does not need to be unloaded to use it. On the other hand, it is not very convenient to take it out, let alone put it back in place. And she's dirty all the time. The spare tire under the boot floor is always clean, and around it the creators of the Duster size organizer styles (tool cases and trivia). In our conditions, such a solution is preferable.

3. For cars on the B0 platform, quite large wheelbase... In Duster, it is 2673 mm. So, the car has a fairly spacious interior - more than you expect, looking at the Duster from the outside. But the trunk is also considerable! The all-wheel drive version has a trunk volume of 408 liters, the front-wheel drive version has 475. With the rear seats folded down, the volume increases to 1570 or 1636 liters, respectively. In an all-wheel drive with the rear sofa folded, an almost flat floor is formed. In this case, the back of the front passenger seat can be tilted forward, which increases the space. I was able to transport a bicycle with 26-inch wheels in Duster without disassembly, and with the wheels removed I drove a couple of adult bicycles. Other Duster users carry thick mattresses for double beds, two-compartment refrigerators and 2.40 boards in them.

Many car manufacturers prefer to install a roller blind in the trunk. Duster also affected this trend. But the restyling brought a rigid trunk shelf to the car. The plus is that you can put something relatively light on it. And so that this something does not fly into the cabin during hard braking, there are rather deep stampings in the shelf.

4. I consider it an excellent solution selector for switching the operating modes of the all-wheel drive transmission... There are only three modes on the puck, nothing more. Front-wheel drive, automatic mode (the electronics itself decides when to connect the rear axle) and all-wheel drive mode with torque distribution along the axles in a 50:50 ratio. In this mode, you can drive at speeds up to 80 km / h. To switch modes, a slight movement of your hand is enough. Very comfortably. And yet, his element is paved roads. Or light off-road, which Duster copes with effortlessly in most cases. And for heavy off-road there is another technique.

5. By the way, off-road, the function of disabling the traction control system will be very useful - Duster can also boast of such an option. As well as excellent parameters of geometric passability... See for yourself. The ramp angle is 23 ° - the same as that of the famous SUVs Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, Toyota Hilux, Volkswagen Amarok. The ground clearance is 205–210 mm (depending on the drive, without engine protection). The same as in Lada 4x4 (ex-Niva), UAZ Hunter (ex-3151) and UAZ Patriot! The approach angle of the Renault Duster is 30 ° - like that of the Land Rover Discovery. And the departure angle is especially impressive - 36 °. By the way, in the second generation Duster it was reduced by 3 °. And still, in this parameter, the car surpasses, for example, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon (departure angle - 31.3 °).

Pay attention to the silver trim on the rear bumper (there is a similar one on the front). If you still manage to strike a bumper, buying and replacing the pad will be faster, easier and cheaper than repairing the entire bumper. And under one of the segments there is a loop for towing the car, which in the pre-styling version was sticking out. Simple and convenient.

6. Duster engines are simple and reliable. And in this material is worthy of mention timing chain drive base engine 1.6 H4M-HR16DE. Unlike a toothed belt, the chain does not require replacement up to 200 thousand kilometers. In addition, this engine has a variable valve timing system, which I have created to dynamically adjust the operating parameters of the valve timing. This improves the torque response in certain operating conditions, as well as provides fuel economy and reduces the toxicity of exhaust gases.

7. Immediately I remember remote engine start system Renault Start... Who else besides Renault offers remote start for a budget crossover? The car is generally well prepared for the Russian climate. In addition to the usual seat and mirror heaters, Duster has a heated windshield over the entire area. Great option! 8. There is an opinion that budget cars are not doing well with ergonomics. Like, the manufacturer probably saved on it. For example, how do you like the rear-view mirror adjustment joystick located under the parking brake? Someone says that this is a mockery of the owners, others believe it is a completely justified decision. After all, if the car has one driver (in most cases), it is extremely rare to adjust the mirrors, and it is safer to do this when the car is stationary with the handbrake raised.

In its own way, it is convenient and useful and steering column control controlling the audio system. It can be used blindly without removing your hands from the steering wheel. Small but important contribution to vehicle safety. Of course, the same buttons could be placed on the steering wheel itself, but such a solution would make the car a little more expensive, which was contrary to the concept of maximum accessibility.

I love to quote our cinematic Sherlock Holmes: “It's a trifle, a trifle. But there is nothing more important than little things. " There are niches on the Duster dashboard. In many cars, you have to look for where to attach your smartphone. Here you don't ask such a question - you just put your smartphone in a niche. Or you put him by surprise, at an angle, if you need him as a navigator.

It may happen that the Renault Duster driver's seat needs to be dismantled. For washing, repairing, replacing the upholstery or cover, washing the interior, etc.

Algorithm for removing a driver's seat:

move the driver's seat back to the end;
unscrew the four screws that secure the chair to the runners with the TORX T40 tip;
if the seat is heated, then carefully remove it and disconnect the connector, for this insert a thin screwdriver under the black flag, lift the latch and disconnect;
remove the clip that holds the cable and take the seats out of the passenger compartment;

The passenger seat is removed in the same way.

Removing rear seats

Renault sofa is easy to remove. It is enough to lift it from the backrest at an angle and pull it up. You do not need to unscrew anything. You will have to tinker a little with the backs in this order:

unscrew the seat belts;
unscrew the bolts in the corners at the bottom;
remove the backrest from the shaft.
collect everything in reverse order.

Increase in trunk space

One of the hallmarks of the popular Renault Duster crossover is the spacious trunk. If you fold the rear seats, then the space is tripled. It can not only be used to transport goods, but it is also an excellent double place for two people, and if with a child, then for three. You can easily travel without a tent.

The new Renault Duster, which will go on sale in 2017, will have an even larger boot and an additional third row of seats.

To increase Renault trunk space:

slide the front seats all the way forward;
insert the buckles of the seat belts into the corresponding slots;
lower the head restraints down;
press the button at the top of the back;
lower the back.

This is the standard position of the Renault Duster backrests, which is unlikely to suit you, because the backs do not fold out flush with the bottom of the trunk.

In order to form a single plane, the procedure should be complicated:

move the front seats all the way forward;
raise the sofa from the back side by 40 degrees;
remove the sofa, pay attention to the steel petals, they should easily come out of the nests.
lower the back of the rear seat
put the sofa on the headrests;
adjust the rear seat if necessary.

There is one caveat. Look under the folded back of the Renault Duster seat from the side of the door. The back hangs in the air. It is advisable to cut out the stands for it from the foam, which you can carry with you and use if necessary.

If the chairs creak

A creak in Duster is not considered a breakdown, but this sound can be annoying for many car owners and passengers. Squeaking occurs due to the friction of elements made of plastic, leather or other finishing materials against each other or against metal parts.

If the Renault Duster seat squeaks in the lower position, then it is enough to apply graphite grease to the seat sled. Treat the lifting mechanism at the same time. If the creak persists, remove the chair and inspect it. Especially carefully on the sides. Squeaky spots can give off shine or scuffs.

Most often, in Dusters, a creak appears after a short run, and its source is under the seat of the Renault seat. To eliminate the unpleasant sound, the chair must be removed and turned over. At the bottom of the seat, on the side, there are springs. They rub against the hinge of the upholstery. This can be seen in the area of the polished surface on the spring.

To eliminate the squeak, it is enough to isolate the spring with a rubber gasket. To do this, take a hose of a suitable length and diameter, cut it to length, put it on the spring and secure with plastic clamps.

Another popular reason for Renault squeaking is in the back of the chair. It will have to be opened. Inside there is foamed polyurethane, which must be treated with anti-creak powder. It is green or blue. If it is not there or not enough, then Renault has saved, and you need to refine it. In theory, in this case there should be a warranty replacement of the chair, but here's how you will be able to negotiate with the dealer.

The fastening of the Renault seat belt clip can also creak, creating a "cricket" effect. Sprinkle WD into it and forget for a while.

The next Renault Duster II model will have a third row of seats - squeak and work will increase.

Chair covers

All Renault Duster configurations, except for the top-end, have seats with textile upholstery. Not the most practical stuff. It gets dirty quickly and washes hard, and over time it is wiped off. Therefore, many Duster owners buy seat covers and face the problem of how to dress them.

Covers are not capes, so you have to work hard and dismantle the chairs. It is not necessary to completely remove the seats of the second row.

If an airbag is packed in the backs of Renault Duster's seats, be sure to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and rest for at least 10 minutes.

remove the backrest adjustment knob by prying it with a screwdriver;
unhook the five rings securing the backrest upholstery at the bottom;
pull the cover over the harness and hook the hooks to the springs;
tighten the cord "noose" and fix its end where it is convenient for you;
remove the headrests and pull the cover over the back;
from below, hook all the tails to the springs and fasten the rings of the standard upholstery in place.

In the back row of Duster's chairs, it is enough to remove the sofas. The backrests can be left on. When pulling and smoothing the covers, pull on the material, and use the fasteners to fix.

It may happen that the Renault Duster driver's seat needs to be dismantled. For washing, repairing, replacing the upholstery or cover, washing the interior, etc. For such precedents, a seat dismantling system has been developed. However, not everyone knows how to do this. In order not to waste time on ethereal searches for "that very hook", read our material. In addition, in the article we will analyze the disassembly of the entire cabin.
