During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations to obtain maximum engine per-
formance and ensure the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow these
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
• Do not drive at
aconstant speed, either fast or
slow, for long periods of time.
• Do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
• Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
• Do not start quickly.
• Do not brake hard as much as possible.
• Do not tow
atrailer for at least the first 800 km
(500 miles). WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle will
change remarkably by any additional load and its
distribution, as well as by adding optional equip-
ment (trailer coupling, roof rail, etc.). Your driv-
ing style and speed must be adjusted according
to the circumstances. Especially when carrying
heavy loads, your speed must be reduced ad-
equately.
• Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear.
• Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake (and clutch) fluid, window washer fluid as
frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
• Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Measure and check the tyre pressure
for proper inflation.
• Check that all windows and lights are clean.
• Adjust the seat and head restraint positions.
• Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirror po-
sitions.
• Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do the same.
• Check that all doors are closed.
• Check the operation of the warning lights when
the ignition switch is placed in the “ON” position. •
Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.

Overview of warnings
NOTE
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when braking
is performed by the Active Emergency Braking
system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway con-
ditions, the system may help the driver avoid afor-
ward collision or may help mitigate the
consequences if acollision should one be unavoid-
able.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel, acceler-
ating or braking, the Active Emergency Braking sys-
tem will function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the follow-
ing conditions:
• When the steering wheel is turned as far as nec-
essary to avoid acollision.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed. •
When there is no longer
avehicle detected
ahead.
If the Active Emergency Braking system has
stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a
standstill for approximately 2seconds before the
brakes are released. WARNING
• The radar sensor does not detect the follow-
ing objects:
–P edestrians, animals or obstacles in the
roadway
–O ncoming vehicles
–C rossing vehicles
• The radar sensor has some performance limi-
tations. If
astationary vehicle is in the vehi-
cle’s path, the Active Emergency Braking sys-
tem will not function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 70 km/h (44
MPH).
• The radar sensor may not detect
avehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
–D irt, ice, snow or other material covering
the radar sensor.
–I nterference by other radar sources.
–S now or road spray from travelling
vehicles.
–I fthe vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motor-
cycle). –W
hen driving on asteep downhill slope or
roads with sharp curves.
–W hen towing atrailer.
• In some road or traffic conditions, the Active
Emergency Braking system may unexpectedly
apply partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the accelera-
tor pedal to override the system.
• Braking distances increase on slippery sur-
faces.
• Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
• The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not detect
some forms of obstruction of the sensor area
of the front bumper such as ice, snow, stick-
ers, for example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver properly.
Be sure that you check, clean and clear the
sensor area of the front bumper regularly
Turning the Active Emergency Braking
system ON/OFF
Perform the following steps to turn the Active Emer-
gency Braking system ON or OFF.
5-36 Starting and driving

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

Your new vehicle was designed to be used primarily
to carry passengers and luggage.
Towing atrailer will place additional loads on your
vehicle’s engine, drive train, steering, braking and
other systems. The towing of atrailer will exagger-
ate other conditions such as sway caused by cross-
winds, rough road surfaces or passing trucks.
Your driving style and speed must be adjusted ac-
cording to the circumstances. Before towing a
trailer, see an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop for an explanation about the proper use of tow-
ing equipment.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
• Avoid towing
atrailer during the running-in pe-
riod.
• Before driving, make sure that the lighting sys-
tem of the trailer works properly.
• Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer
operation.
• Avoid abrupt starts, accelerations and stops.
• Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.
• Always drive your vehicle at
amoderate speed.
• Follow the trailer manufacturer’s instructions.
• Choose proper coupling devices (trailer hitch,
safety chain, roof carrier, etc.) for your vehicle
and trailer. These devices are available from an
approved dealer or qualified workshop where
you can also obtain more detailed information
about trailer towing. •
Never allow the total trailer load (trailer weight
plus its cargo weight) to exceed the maximum
set for the vehicle and the coupling device. See
an approved dealer or qualified workshop for
more information.
• The trailer must be loaded so that heavy goods
are placed over the axle. The maximum allowable
vertical load on the trailer hitch must not be ex-
ceeded.
• Have your vehicle serviced more often than at
the intervals specified in
aseparate maintenance
booklet.
• Trailer towing requires more fuel than under nor-
mal circumstances because of
aconsiderable
increase in traction power and resistance.
While towing atrailer, check the engine coolant
temperature indicator to prevent the vehicle from
overheating.
TYRE PRESSURE
When towing atrailer, inflate the vehicle tyres to the
maximum recommended COLD tyre pressure (for
full loading) indicated on the tyre placard.
Do not tow atrailer when the vehicle is installed with
at emporary spare tyre or acompact spare tyre.
SAFETY CHAINS
Always use asuitable chain between the vehicle
and trailer. The chain should be crossed and should
be attached to the hitch, not to the vehicle bumper
or axle. Be sure to leave enough slack in the chain
to permit turning corners. TRAILER BRAKES
Ensure that trailer brakes are installed as required
by local regulations. Also check that all other trailer
equipment conforms to local regulations.
Always block the wheels on both the vehicle and
trailer when parking. Apply the hand brake on the
trailer where fitted. Parking on
asteep slope is not
recommended.
If parking on asteep slope is unavoidable, place the
shift lever in the P(Park) position (Automatic trans-
mission model), or in an appropriate position
(Manual transmission model), and turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.
TRAILER DETECTION (where fitted)
When towing atrailer with agenuine RENAULT tow
bar electrical kit and the turn signal switch is used,
the electrical system of the vehicle will detect the
additional electrical load of the trailer lighting. As a
result, the direction indicator tone will be different.

Installing spare tyre
WARNING
• Never use wheel nuts which are not provided
with your vehicle. Incorrect wheel nuts or im-
properly tightened wheel nuts may cause the
wheel to become loose or come off. This
could cause an accident.
• Never use oil or grease on the wheel studs or
nuts. This may cause the wheel nuts to be-
come loose.
1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface between the wheel and hub.
2. Carefully put the spare tyre on and tighten the wheel nuts with your fingers. Check that all the
wheel nuts contact the wheel surface horizon-
tally. 3. Tighten the wheel nuts alternately and evenly in
the sequence illustrated ( ➀-
➅ ), more than 2
times with the wheel nut wrench, until they are
tight.
4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tyre touches the ground.
5. Tighten the wheel nuts securely, with the wheel nut wrench, in the sequence illustrated.
6. Lower the vehicle completely.
Tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque
with atorque wrench as soon as possible.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
133 N·m (13.6 kg-m, 98 ft-lb)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to speci-
fication at all times. It is recommended that the
wheel nuts be tightened to specification at each
lubrication interval. WARNING
Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has
been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles) (also in
case of aflat tyre, etc.).
Stowing damaged tyre and tools WARNING
Be sure that the tyre, jack and tools are properly
stored after use. Such items can become dan-
gerous projectiles in an accident or sudden stop. Securely store the damaged tyre, jack and tools in
the storage area in the reverse order of removal.
(See “Preparing tools” earlier in this section.)
REPAIRING FLAT TYRE (for models
with emergency tyre puncture repair kit)
The emergency tyre puncture repair kit is supplied
with the vehicle instead of aspare tyre. This repair
kit must be used for temporarily fixing aminor tyre
puncture. After using the repair kit, see an approved
dealer or qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre inspection and repair or replacement.
CAUTION
• RENAULT recommends using only Genuine
RENAULT Emergency Tyre Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can cause
the tyre to lose air pressure.
• Do not use the emergency tyre puncture re-
pair kit provided with your vehicle on other
vehicles.
• Do not use the emergency tyre puncture re-
pair kit for
apurpose other than to inflate and
check the tyre pressure for the vehicle.
• Use the emergency tyre puncture repair kit
only on DC12V.
• Keep water and dust off the emergency tyre
puncture repair kit.
• Do not disassemble or modify the emergency
tyre puncture repair kit. JVE0208XZ
