holding the RENAULT  card's locking

close the windows automatically.
Special note
If  the  window  detects  resistance  when 
closing (e.g. a person’s fingers, an ani-
mal’s  paw,  the  branch  of  a  tree,  etc.)  it 
stops  and  then  lowers  again  by  a  few 
centimetres.
The  system  should  only  be  used  if  the 
driver  can  clearly  see  that  nobody  is 
inside the vehicle.
Closing windows can cause 
serious injury.

battery is disconnected, the system re-

concerned  as  often  as  necessary  to 
close  the  window,  then  hold  the  switch 
(still on the closure side) for one second 
to  reinitialise  the  system.  If  necessary, 
contact an approved Dealer.

Precautions during use
–  Vehicle with loaded roof bars.

on the roof, use of the sunroof is not 
recommended.
Before  using  the  sunroof,  check  the 
objects  and/or  accessories  (bike 
racks,  roof  boxes,  etc.)  attached  to 
the  roof  bars:  they  should  be  prop -
erly  arranged  and  secured  and 
should  not  interfere  with  the  opera -
tion of the sunroof.
Contact  an  approved  dealer  for  de -
tails of possible conversions;
–  check  that  the  sunroof  is  properly 
closed before leaving your vehicle;
–  clean   the  seal  every  three  months 
using products recommended by our 
Technical Department;
–  do  not  open   the  sunroof  immedi -
ately  after  it  has  rained  or  immedi -
ately after washing the vehicle.1

holding  the   RENAULT  card’s  lock -
ing  button  for  more  than  2  seconds

Special features
If  the  sunroof  panel  encounters  resist -
ance  whilst  closing,  (somebody’s  fin -
gers,  an  animal’s  paw  or  the  branch  of 
a  tree),  it  stops  and  then  moves  back 
several centimetres.
It  is  recommended  that  the  user  only 
operates  the  system  when  the  vehi -
cle  can  be  seen  clearly  and  no  one 
is  inside.  After  closing  the  sunroof

inside  and  never  leave  a 
child  (or  a  pet)  unsupervised,  even 
for a short while.
They may pose a risk to themselves 
or  to  others  by  starting  the  engine, 
activating  equipment  such  as  the 
electric  windows  or  by  locking  the 
doors.
If  something  gets  trapped,  reverse 
the  direction  of  travel  as  soon  as 
possible  by  turning  button 2  fully  to 
the right (position  B).
Risk of serious injury.
–  Never  operate  the  sunroof  with 
the blind closed.
–  Never drive with the sunroof open 
and the sun blind closed.
