BLIND SPOT WARNING (1/4)
This system alerts the driver to other
vehicles in the detection zone A.
The system is activated when the ve-
hicle’s speed is between approxi-
mately 30 km/h (19 mph) and 140 km/h
(87 mph).
This function uses sensors 1 installed
in the front and rear bumper of both
sides.

A
Special featureMake sure that the sensors are not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
If a sensor is obscured, the message
“Blind spotclean sensor” will appear on
the instrument panel. Clean the sen-
sors.
AThis function is an addi-
tional aid which indicates
other vehicles in the blind
spot area.
It can never in any case be a subs-
titute for care nor for the driver’s
responsibility while in charge of his
vehicle.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driving:
make sure while manoeuvring that
there are no moving or movable ob-
jects (such as a child, an animal, a
pushchair or a bicycle) or small or
narrow obstacles (such as a boulder
or a post) in the blind spot area.

2.68
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/5)
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper
measure the distance between the ve-
hicle and an obstacle.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 20 to
30 centimetres from the obstacle.
The system detects obstacles to the
front, the rear and the sides of the ve-
hicle.
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
The parking distance control system
does not take into account towing and
load carrying systems etc.
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready
for sudden incidents while driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no small, narrow moving obstacles
(such as a child, animal, pushchair,
bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind
spot when manoeuvring.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-
cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by
dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Objects which appear on the edge
of the screen may be deformed.

Fixed clearance gauge 3
The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markers A, B and C , indicat-
ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-
tres from the vehicle;
– B (yellow) approximately 70 centime-
tres from the vehicle;
– C (green) approximately 150 centi-
metres from the vehicle.
This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.Operation
When reversing, the camera transmits
a view of the surroundings to the rear
of the vehicle to the screen 2 accompa-
nied by one or two clearance gauges 3
et 4 (mobile and fixed). This system
is initially used with the aid of several
gauges (mobile for trajectory and fixed
for distance). When the red zone is
reached, use the bumper image to stop
accurately.
The frames are a representation projected onto flat ground; this informa\
tion must
not be taken into account when superimposed on a vertical object or an o\
bject
on the ground.

LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT: 4-DOOR VERSION (2/3)
The sensor detects the approach and
then the removal of your foot and trig-
gers the opening of the boot lid.
Do not keep your foot in the air. Perform
the movement without stopping and wi-
thout touching the rear bumper.Activation/deactivation of the
hands-free function
Using the multifunction screen, select
menu “Vehicle”, “User settings” then
“Use handsfree card: open/close”.
Select “ON" or "OFF" to activate or de-
activate the function.
Usage features of the hands-free
function
– The hands-free function is no longer
available after a few days of lack of
movement of the vehicle, or after
around 15 minutes if the vehicle is
unlocked. To reactivate it, use the
unlocking button on the RENAULT
card.
– The hands-free function is only avail- able if the vehicle is stationary and
the engine is switched off (and not
on standby with the Stop and Start
function).
– The ‘hands-free’ feature may not work if the vehicle is equipped with a
towbar or is in an area of high elec-
tromagnetic radiation.
Using the hands-free function
The hands-free function enables
access to the luggage compartment
when you have your hands full.
Ensure that the RENAULT card is ap-
proximately 1 metre away in the cen-
tral area of the rear bumper of the vehi-
cle (area B). With the ignition off, stand
approximately 45 cm from the vehicle’s
rear bumper and move your foot for-
wards and backwards in area
A.

Disable the “hands-free”
function before you:
– wash the vehicle in a
roller-type car wash;
– wash the vehicle by hand;
– handle the towbar;
– ...
Risk of accidental opening of the
luggage compartment lid which
may cause injury.

3.41
Opening the doors manually
from the inside
If it is impossible to unlock the tailgate,
it can be done manually from inside:
– access the luggage compartment by folding forward the seatback(s) of
the rear bench seat;
– insert a flat-blade screwdriver or similar under the carpet above the
mechanism 3 and slide the unit as
shown in the illustration;
– push the boot lid to open it.
3
User precautions
– Before opening the tailgate, ensure that the surrounding space is suffi-
cient to permit operation of the tail-
gate. Otherwise, stop the movement
of the boot lid before it makes con-
tact.
– The system may experience tempo- rary difficulties if one of the sensors
integrated in the rear of the bumper
is obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, grit-
ting salt, etc.). Clean the sensors. If
there is still a problem, contact an
approved dealer.
Note: in very cold weather conditions,
the automatic opening may not work if
the tailgate seals are frozen.
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT: 4-DOOR VERSION (3/3)
The attachment of any
carrying device (bike rack,
luggage box etc.) resting on
the luggage compartment
lid is prohibited. To install a carrying
device on your vehicle, contact an
Approved Dealer.

4.15
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
You should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off, with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor-
oughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and under-
neath the body which forms damp
patches;
– bird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours paintwork and
may even cause the paint to peel
off;
wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by polish-
ing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driv-
ing in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves,
etc.) from the vehicle regularly.
What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani-
cal components (e.g. the engine com-
partment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure clean-
ing equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paint-
work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-
tions without washing the vehicle, par-
ticularly under the wheel arches and
body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
–
atmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather condi-
tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-
cautions in order to safeguard your ve-
hicle against such risks.
