Welcome to your new vehicle
The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the t\
echnical specifications at the time of writing. This hand-
book covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the c\
ountry where the vehicle is sold.
This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to b\
e introduced later in the model year.
Throughout the manual, the “approved Dealer” is your RENAULT Dealer.
Enjoy driving your new vehicle. This driver’s handbook contains the information necessary:
– for you to familiarise yourself with your vehicle, to use it to its best\
advantage and to benefit fully from the all the func tions and
the technical developments it incorporates.
– to ensure that it always gives the best performance by following the sim\
ple, but comprehensive advice concerning regular main -
tenance.
– to enable you to deal quickly with minor faults not requiring specialist\
attention.
It is well worth taking a few minutes to read this handbook to familiari\
se yourself with the information and guidelines it cont ains
about the vehicle and its functions and new features. If certain points \
are still unclear, our Network technicians will be only too
pleased to provide you with any additional information.
To help you, you will find the following symbols:
 and  These appear in the vehicle and indicate that you should consult the man\
ual for detailed information and/or
limits on operations with respect to your vehicle’s equipment.
anywhere in the manual indicates a hazard, danger or a safety recommenda\
tion.

Distance lighting function
The interior lights come on for approxi-
mately 30 seconds when button 6 is
pressed. This can be used, for exam-
ple, to identify the vehicle from a dis-
tance when parked in a car park.

With the engine running , if, after
opening and closing a door, the card is
no longer in the zone 5, the message
“KEYCARD NOT DETECTED” (to-
gether with a beep when the speed ex-
ceeds a limit) warns you that the card
is no longer in the vehicle. This avoids
you driving away after having dropped
off a passenger who has the card, for
example.
The warning disappears when the card
is detected again.
After locking/unlocking the vehicle
using the buttons on the RENAULT
card, "hands-free" locking and un-

Driving style indicator 2
Informs you about the driving style
adopted in real time. You will be notified
by the colour of warning light 2.

Gear change indicator 1
Depending on the vehicle, to obtain op-
timum consumption levels, a warning
light on the instrument panel lets you
know the best time to move up or down
a gear:
Š move up a gear;
‰ move down a gear.
Fuel consumption is accredited in ac-
cordance with a standard regulatory
method. Identical for all manufactu-
rers, this enables vehicles to be com-
pared with one another. Consumption
in real time depends on vehicle usage
conditions, the equipment fitted and the
user’s driving style. To optimise fuel
consumption, please refer to the fol-
lowing advice.
Depending on the vehicle, you will have
various functions which enable you to
lower your fuel consumption:
– the rev counter;
– gear change indicator;
– the driving style indicator;
– the journey record and eco-driving
advice via the multimedia display;
– ECO mode – activated by the ECO button.
If fitted on the vehicle, the navigation
system provides additional information.

2.13
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/4)
An overall rating from 0 to 100 is dis-
played to let you assess your eco driv-
ing performance. The higher the rating,
the lower the fuel consumption.
Eco advice is given to help improve
your performance.
With your favourite journeys saved, you
can evaluate your performance.
For more information, please see the
multimedia system instructions.

ECO mode
ECO mode is a function which op-
timises fuel consumption. It acts on
certain power consuming systems in
the vehicle (heating, air conditioning,
power-assisted steering, etc.) and on
certain driving actions (acceleration,
gear changing, cruise control, deceler-
ation, etc.).
Activating the function
Press switch 4.
The 5
 warning light comes on on
the instrument panel to confirm activa-
tion.
While driving, it is possible to leave the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im-
prove engine performance.
For this, depress the accelerator pedal
firmly and fully.
ECO mode is reactivated when you
take pressure off the accelerator pedal.
Disabling the function
Press switch 4.
The 5
 light goes out on the instru-
ment panel to confirm deactivation.

Journey record
Once the engine is switched off, you
will see “Journey record” displayed on
the screen 3, enabling you to view in-
formation relating to your last journey.
This indicates:
– average fuel consumption;
– number of miles/kilometres travelled;
– number of miles/kilometres saved.

2.14
Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/4)
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an- ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.
