5-18 Starting and driving

The Stop/Start System is designed to prevent un-
necessary fuel consumption, exhaust emissions,
and noise during ajourney:
• When you stop the vehicle with the shift lever in
N(
Neutral) and clutch pedal released, the en-
gine is turned off automatically.
• When you push the clutch pedal, the engine is
automatically turned on.
CAUTION
At the end of the journey the engine must be
stopped and ignition turned off. Lock the vehicle
as normal. Turning the ignition switch OFF will
shut down all electrical systems. Failure to do
this may result in aflat battery.
NOTE
For model with Stop/Start System, use the spe-
cial battery that is enhanced in regard to the
charge-discharge capacity and life performance.
Avoid using anon-special battery for the Stop/
Start System, as this may cause early deteriora-
tion of the battery or amalfunction of the Stop/
Start System. For the battery, it is recommended
to use Genuine RENAULT parts. For more infor-
mation, contact an approved dealer or qualified
workshop.
NOTE
The Stop/Start System will not activate under
the following conditions:
• When the engine is kept idling without any
driving after the engine is turned on. •
When the engine coolant temperature is low.
• When the battery capacity is low.
• When the battery temperature is low.
• When the vehicle is moved.
• When the vacuum in the brake servo
decreases.
• When the engine bonnet is opened with the
engine running.
• When the engine is turned on with the engine
bonnet open.
• When the driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• When the driver’s door is open.
• When the Stop/Start System indicator blinks
at
alow speed.
• When the fan speed control is in any position
other than OFF (0) while the air flow control is
in the front defogger position.
• When the front defogger switch is on.
• When the temperature inside the vehicle is
too high or low. (When the Auto air condition-
ing system is off, the Stop/Start System will
operate.)
• When the fan speed of the air conditioner is
set to the maximum speed.
• When the Stop/Start OFF switch is turned on.
• When the power consumption is large. •
When the vehicle is travelling at altitudes
higher than 2000
m(6562 ft) (MT model).
• For Manual Transmission (MT) models
• When the shift lever is in any position except
the
N(Neutral) position.
• When the clutch pedal is depressed.
• When the Remote Control Key is not in the
vehicle.
• When the steering wheel is turning or turned
more than 45 degrees.
NOTE
The engine will not restart even if the clutch pedal
is pressed while the Stop/Start System is acti-
vated under the following condition:
• When the engine bonnet is opened.
• When the driver seat belt is unfastened and
the driver’s door is opened.
• When the shift lever is not in the
N(Neutral)
position.
NOTE
It may take some time until the Stop/Start Sys-

1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Automatic Transmission (AT) model: Move the shift lever to the P(Park) position.
Manual Transmission (MT) model: Move the shift
lever to the R(Reverse) position. When parking
on an uphill grade, move the shift lever to the 1
(1st) position. 3. To help prevent the vehicle from moving into traf-
fic when parked on an incline, it is agood prac-
tice to turn the wheels as illustrated.
HEADED DOWNHILL WITH KERB ➀
Turn the wheels into the kerb and move the ve-
hicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently
touches the kerb. Then apply the parking brake. HEADED UPHILL WITH KERB
➁
Turn the wheels away from the kerb and allow
the vehicle to move back until the kerb side wheel
gently touches the kerb. Then apply the parking
brake.
HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, WITHOUT
KERB ➂
Turn the wheels toward the side of the road so
the vehicle will move away from the centre of the
road if the vehicle moves. Then apply the parking
brake.
4. Model with Remote Control Key:
Place the ignition switch in the “OFF” position.
Model without Remote Control Key:
Place the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position
and remove the key. SSD0488Z

VEHICLE BATTERY
WARNING
Do not operate the vehicle if the fluid in the bat-
tery is low. Low battery fluid can cause ahigher
load on the battery which can generate heat, re-
duce battery life, and in some cases lead to an
explosion.
Checking battery fluid level Check the fluid level in each cell. The battery fluid
level should be between the UPPER LEVEL
➀and
LOWER LEVEL ➁lines.
If it is necessary to add fluid, add only demineralised/
distilled water to bring the level to the indicator in
each filler opening. Do not overfill.
1. Remove the cell plugs ➂using
asuitable tool.
2. Add demineralised/distilled water up to the UP- PER LEVEL ➀line.
If the side of the battery is not clear, check the
distilled water level by looking directly above the
cell; the condition j
Ai ndicates OK and the con-
dition jBn eeds more to be added.
3. Replace and tighten the cell plugs.
• Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under
severe conditions require frequent checks of the
battery fluid level.
• Keep the battery surface clean and dry. Any cor-
rosion should be cleared with
afirmly wrung out
moist cloth.
• Make certain the terminal connections are clean
and securely tightened.
• If the vehicle is not to be used for more than 30
days, disconnect the negative (−) battery termi-
nal cable to prevent battery discharge.
Jump starting
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump starting” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section. If the engine
does not start by jump starting or the battery does not charge, the battery may have to be replaced.
Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop
for replacing the battery.
REMOTE CONTROLLER BATTERY
(where fitted)
Remote controller battery replacement
CAUTION
• Be careful not to allow children to swallow the
battery and removed parts.
• An improperly disposed battery can harm the
environment. Always confirm local regulations
for battery disposal.
• When changing batteries, do not let dust or oil
get on the components.
• There is danger of explosion if lithium battery
is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type.
• Do not expose the battery to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire, etc. DI0137MDZ
