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.
The following symbol will help you when reading this handbook:
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. To indicate a hazard, danger or safety recommendation.
Enjoy driving your new vehicle.

the vehicle locked, press button  3 on 
handle  2 on one of the two front doors: 
the vehicle will unlock.
Pressing button  4 also unlocks all the 
doors and the tailgate.
The hazard warning lights  flash once 
to indicate that the doors have been un-
locked.
NB: the vehicle cannot be locked again 
for three seconds after unlocking after 
pressing button  3.UseOn equipped vehicles, in addition to 
the functions of the remote control 
RENAULT card, it can be used to lock/
unlock without using the RENAULT 
card, when it is in access zone  1.
Do not store the RENAULT card 
anywhere it may come into con-
tact with other electronic equipment 
(computer, PDA, phone, etc.) as this 
could hinder its operation.
After unlocking the vehicle using 
the RENAULT card, the “hands-
free” locking and unlocking is deac-
tivated.
To reactivate the hands-free mode: 
restart the vehicle.

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (2/2)
Door and tailgate status 
indicator
With the ignition on, the warning light 
integrated in switch  3 informs you of the 
locking status of the opening elements:
–  indicator light on, the doors and tail- gate are locked,
–  indicator light off, the doors and tail- gate are unlocked.
When you lock the doors, the indicator 
light remains lit and then goes out.
Locking the doors without 
the RENAULT card
For example, in the event of a dis-
charged battery or the RENAULT card 
temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine switched off and 
an opening element (door or boot) 
open,  press and hold switch  3 for more 
than five seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors 
and the tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking the vehicle from the outside 
is only possible with the RENAULT card 
in the vehicle's access zone or using 
the key integrated in the RENAULT 
card.
Interior locking/unlocking 
door control
Switch  3 controls the doors, boot and, 
depending on the vehicle, the fuel filler 
flap simultaneously.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not 
closed properly, the doors and tailgate 
lock/unlock quickly.
If you need to transport objects with the 
boot open, the other opening elements 
can still be locked:  with the engine 
stopped,   press switch 3 for more than 
five seconds to lock the other opening 
elements.

Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the 
doors locked when you are 
driving, remember that it 
may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the 
passenger compartment in the 
event of an emergency.
Never leave your vehicle 
with the RENAULT card 
inside.
After locking/unlocking the vehicle 
or the luggage compartment only 
using the buttons on the RENAULT 
card, remote locking and unlocking 
in hands-free mode are deactivated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode: 
restart the vehicle.

pRear screen wash/wipeWith ignition on, turn the end 
of the stalk 1 to bring the mark 2 in line 
with the symbol. When the stalk is re-
leased, it returns to the rear windscreen 
wiper position.
A short pull triggers the rear windscreen 
wipers.
A prolonged action triggers, in addition 
to the rear windscreen wipers, a contin-
uous sweep until the stalk is released, 
then two return wipes followed by a 
third, after a few seconds.
Special note
If the windscreen wipers are operat-
ing or are in automatic mode, the rear 
screen wiper wipes intermittently when 
reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on the vehicle, you can 
deactivate this function on the touch 
screen. Please see the equipment in-
structions for further information.
YSpeed-dependent 
timed rear screen 
wiper
With the ignition on, turn the end of 
stalk 1 to align mark 2 with the symbol.
Wiping frequency varies with speed.
REAR SCREEN WASH/WIPE
12In freezing or snowy weather, ensure 
they are not stuck to the windscreen 
(including the central area located 
behind the interior rear-view mirror) 
and the rear screen before starting 
the wipers (risk of motor overheat-
ing).
Check the condition of the wiper 
blades. You are responsible for their 
service life:
–  they must remain clean: clean  the blades, windscreen and 
rear screen regularly with soapy 
water;
–  do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
–  free them from the windscreen or  rear screen when they have not 
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon 
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check 
that no object obstructs the travel of 
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or 
close the tailgate.
Before any action on the windscreen (washing the vehicle, de-icing, 
cleaning the windscreen, etc.) return stalk  1 to the park position.
Risk of injury or damage.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (1/5)
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.
–  Green: measured, economical driv- ing;

structions.

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.
