AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/6)
Driving in automatic mode
With the vehicle at a standstill, engine
running, position P, N or R, depress the
brake pedal and move the selector to
the left then back, and release.
If one of the conditions is not applied,
D flashes for around 5 seconds and
the message “Push brake pedal” is dis-
played on the instrument panel for ap-
proximately 15 seconds.
In most road conditions you will en-
counter, you will not need to touch your
lever again: the gears will change au-
tomatically at the right time and at the
most suitable engine speed because
the automatic system takes into ac-
count the vehicle load and road contour
and adjusts itself to the particular driv-
ing style you have chosen.
Note: With the engine running and
the vehicle travelling between 0 and
6 mph (0 and 10 km/h), position N or
R , it is not necessary to depress the
brake pedal to engage position D. This
is useful during parking manoeuvres
requiring a number of alternate forward
and reverse movements. Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position
D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal briskly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
point of resistance).
It is also possible to change down at
any time for overtaking purposes, by
pushing the selector to position “ -”.
To select reverse gear
With the vehicle at a standstill, engine
running, position P, N or D, depress the
brake pedal and move the selector to
the left then forwards, and release.
If the brake pedal is not depressed, a
beep will sound, the display of position
R flashes for around 5 seconds in the
grid shown on the instrument panel,
and a message “Push brake pedal” is
displayed for around 15 seconds.
Note: With the engine running, and
the vehicle travelling between 0 and
6 mph (0 and 10 km/h), position N or
D , it is not necessary to depress the
brake pedal to engage R. This is useful
during parking manoeuvres requiring
a number of alternate forward and re-
verse movements.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS (1/2)

These systems operate:
– with the engine running;
– with the ignition off until one of the front doors is opened (limited to ap-
proximately 12 minutes).
– with the engine off, front doors closed, after pressing the start
button.
Press the window switch down or pull it
up to lower or raise the window to the
desired height: the rear windows do not
open fully.
Safety of rear occupants
The driver can disable operation of the rear electric windows and doors \
by pressing switch 4. A confirmation message is displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card or key inside, and never leave
a child, adult who is not self-sufficient or a pet, even for a short while. They may
pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine or activat\
ing equip-
ment (such as the gear lever or electric windows). If any part of the \
body becomes
trapped, reverse the direction of the window immediately by pressing the\
relevant
switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.
From the driver’s seat, use switch:
1 for the driver’s side;
2 for the front passenger side;
3 and 5 for the rear passenger win-
dows.
From the passenger seats, use
switch 6.

ELECTRIC SUNROOF (1/3)
To slide the curtain 1
With the ignition on:
– Full opening: move marker 3 on
button 2 to position A. The points in
between correspond to the progres-
sive opening positions of the curtain;
– to close: move mark 3 on button 2
to position 0.
To slide the sunroof
With the ignition on:
– to open: move mark 3 on button 2
to position B, depending how far
you wish it to open. The points in
between correspond to the progres-
sive opening positions;
– To close: move the marker 3 on
button 2 to position A.

B
Moving the position 0 directly to po-
sition B causes the simultaneous
opening of the curtain and the roof.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card or
key inside, and never leave
a child, adult who is not self-suffi-
cient or a pet, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child
may endanger itself or others by
starting the engine, activating
equipment such as the sunroof for
example, or 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.
Special features
Pressing button 2 allows the curtain to
be automatically positioned depending
on the position of the sunroof.
Pressing button 2 when the roof and
the curtain are in the same opening po-
sition enables the curtain to be opened
fully.

Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace 2 to slacken off the
wheel bolts. Position it so as to be able
to push from above.
Open the door nearest the wheel
concerned to identify the arrow 1 indi-
cating the jacking point 3.
Switch on the hazard war-
ning lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level surface
where it will not slip.
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation ap-
plying to the country you are in.

these from your approved dealer.
Position the jack 4 horizontally. It is es-
sential to position the jack head in the
jacking point 3.
Close the door.
Start cranking the jack up by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle).

taking care not to damage the wiring.
REAR LIGHTS AND SIDE LIGHTS: changing bulbs (1/3)
The bulbs are under pres-
sure and can break when

Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an-
other vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you al-
ready have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden-
tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the discharged
battery is properly connected. Switch
off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply-
ing the current and run it at a moderate
speed.

Lift the red cover on box 1 located
behind the battery.
Connect the positive cable A to sup-
port 3 (+) located under the box
cover 1, then to terminal 5 (+) of the
battery supplying the current.
Connect the negative cable B to ter-
minal 4 (–) of the battery supplying the
current, then to the metal cable 2 (–).
Start the engine, and as soon as it starts
running, disconnect cables A and B in
reverse order ( 2 - 4 - 5 - 3).

Check that there is no con-
tact between leads A and B
and that the positive lead A
is not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the
vehicle.

5.25
Operating faults
If the battery is too weak to ensure cor-
rect operation, you can still start and
lock/unlock the vehicle (please refer to
the information on “Locking/unlocking
the opening elements” in Section 1).
RENAULT CARD: battery
Replacing the battery
When the message “Keycard battery
low” appears on the instrument panel,
replace the battery in the RENAULT
card:
– slide the rear casing 1 downwards
while pressing on zone A;
– remove the battery cover 2;
– remove the battery by pressing on
one side and lifting the other;
– replace it according to the direc-
tion and template shown inside the
cover.
Do not throw away your
used batteries; give them to
an organisation responsible
for collecting and recycling
batteries.
When refitting, proceed in the reverse
order, then press one of the buttons on
the card four times, close to the vehicle:
the message will disappear.
Note: it is not advisable to touch the
electronic circuit or contacts on the
RENAULT card when replacing the bat-
tery.
The batteries are available from ap-
proved Dealers, and their service
life approximately two years. Check
that there is no dye on the battery:
risk of an incorrect electrical con-
tact.
