åAir bag warning light
This lights up when the ignition
is switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it does not come on when the igni-
tion is switched on, or comes on when
the engine is running, there is a fault in
the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.
MLow fuel level warning light
This lights up when the ignition
is switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it lights up when driving, fill up with
fuel as soon as possible. There is only
approximately 30 miles (50 km) worth
of fuel left.
A
If no lights or sounds are ap-
parent, this indicates a fault
in the instrument panel. This
indicates that it is essential
to stop immediately (as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow). Ensure that the
vehicle is correctly immobilised and
contact an approved Dealer.
Instrument panel A: lights up when
the ignition is switched on. The bright-
ness can be adjusted by turning control
knob 1.
In some cases, the appearance of a
warning light is accompanied by a mes-
sage.
The © warning light means
you should drive very carefully to
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible. If you fail to follow this recom-
mendation, you risk damaging your
vehicle.
Warning light ® re-
quires you to stop immedi-
ately, for your own safety,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Switch off the engine and do not re-
start it. Contact an approved Dealer.

2.5
When you leave your vehi-
cle, especially if you have
your RENAULT card with
you, check that the engine
is completely switched off.Remote control RENAULT
card
With the card in reader 2, press
button 1: the engine will stop. Removing
the card from the reader locks the steer-
ing column.
Special note
If the card is no longer in the reader
when you try to switch the engine off,
the message “NO KEYCARD PRESS
AND HOLD” will appear on the in-
strument panel: press the button 1 for
longer than two seconds.
Hands-free RENAULT card
With the card in the vehicle, press
button 1: the engine will stop. The steer-
ing column is locked when the driver’s
door is opened or the vehicle is locked.
If the card is no longer in the pas-
senger compartment when you try to
switch the engine off, the message “NO
KEYCARD PRESS AND HOLD” ap-
pears on the instrument panel: press
the button 1 for longer than two sec-
onds.
Conditions for stopping the
engine
The vehicle must stationary, with the
lever positioned in N or P for vehicles
with an automatic transmission.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, accessories
(e.g. radio) stop working either when
the engine is switched off or when the
driver’s door is opened or when the
doors are locked.
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE (3/3)
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsuper-
vised, even for a short while.
There is a risk that they could start
the engine or operate electrical
equipment (electric windows etc.)
and trap part of their body (neck,
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has stopped completely.
Once the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as air bags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.

2.10
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con-
verter to overheat and thus reduce its
efficiency, or damage it irreparably
and cause heat damage to the vehi-
cle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
keep trying to start the engine, but con-
tact an approved Dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such as
grass or leaves can come into con-
tact with the hot exhaust system.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/5)
54
ECO mode
ECO mode is a function which opti-
mises fuel consumption. It acts on all
elements which consume fuel (engine
power, heating and/or air conditioning,
etc).Disabling the function
Press switch 4.
The 5
 light goes out on the instru-
ment panel to confirm deactivation.
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.
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully.
ECO mode is reactivated when you
take pressure off the accelerator pedal.

2.17
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (5/5)
Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (espe-
cially in urban conditions) when it is
used. For vehicles fitted with manual
air conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

Switching air conditioning on
or off
(depending on vehicle)
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light on) or off (indicator light off)
using button 3.
Activation is not possible if control 2 is
set to OFF.
The controls
1 Adjusting the air temperature.
2 Adjusting the ventilation speed.
3 Air conditioning.
4 Distribution of air in the passenger compartment.
5 De-icing/demisting of the rear screen and, depending on the vehicle, the
door mirrors.
6 Air recirculation.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (1/3)
1234
65
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more quickly.

3.5
Air recirculation is for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter-nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.Switching the air
recirculation on
Press button 6: the integrated indicator
light comes on. In these conditions, air
is taken from the passenger compart-
ment and is recycled, with no air being
taken from outside the vehicle.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (2/3)
Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on t\
he side
windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air\
in
the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode
(external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer \
required, by
pressing the button 6 again.

65
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
There are five air distribution options.
Turn control 4 to choose the distribution
option.
WThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen and the front side
window demisting vents.
iThe air flow is distributed be-
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demisting vents, the
windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed towards
the dashboard air vents, the
front footwells and, depending on the
vehicle, the second row footwells.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
