Before driving at night, check that the electrical equipment is operatin\
g
correctly and adjust the headlight beams (if your vehicle is not carryi\
ng
its normal load). As a general precaution, check that the lights are not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow or objects being transported).
kDipped beam
headlights
Manual operation
Turn the ring 2 until the symbol is oppo-
site mark 3. This indicator light on the
instrument panel comes on.
Automatic operation
(depending on vehicle)
Turn ring 2 until the AUTO symbol is op-
posite mark 3: with the engine running,
the dipped beam headlights switch on
or off automatically depending on the
brightness of the light outside, without
any action on stalk 1.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (2/3)
Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, move ring 2 to position 0;
– the lights will go out automatically when the engine is switched off, the
driver’s door is opened or the vehicle
is locked. In this case, the next time
the engine is started, the lights will
be switched back on according to the
position of the ring 2, taking into ac-
count the exterior light level, without
moving the stalk 1.
Lights-on reminder buzzer
A warning beep sounds when the driv-
er’s door is opened to warn you that the
lights are still on.
gFront fog lights
Turn the centre ring 4 on the
stalk 1 until the symbol is opposite
mark 5, then release it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting position selected,
and an indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
Cornering lights function
Whenever the dipped beam headlights
are on and under certain conditions (at
speed, the steering wheel at an angle,
in forward gear, the indicator lights on,
etc.), when taking a corner one of the
front fog lights will come on to light the
inside of the bend.

FUNCTION STOP AND START (1/4)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions. The system is acti-
vated automatically when the vehicle is
started. While driving, the system stops
the engine (standby) when the vehicle
is at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
Conditions for engine
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it
was parked;
For vehicles equipped with auto-
matic gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in position D, M or N;
and
– the brake pedal is depressed (suffi-ciently hard);
and
– the accelerator pedal is not de- pressed;
and
– the speed is zero for around 1 second.
The engine remains on standby if posi-
tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the handbrake engaged and
the brake pedal released. For vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released.
If the warning light
 flashes,
this means that the clutch pedal is
not sufficiently released;
and
– the vehicle speed is less than ap- proximately 7 mph (3 km/h).
In all vehicles, the warning light

on the instrument panel is lit when the
engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition by pressing
the engine stop (please see
“Starting, stopping the engine”).
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
 on the
instrument panel).
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.

2.7
FUNCTION STOP AND START (2/4)
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
always stop the engine by pressing
the engine stop button (please see
“Starting, stopping the engine)”.
Preventing the engine from
standing by
In certain situations, such as negotiat-
ing a crossroads for instance, it is pos-
sible to keep the engine running so as
to be ready to move off quickly.
For vehicles equipped with auto-
matic gearboxes:
Keep the vehicle stationary without
pressing too hard on the brake pedal
For vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
Keep the clutch pedal pressed right
down
Conditions for coming out of
engine standby
For vehicles equipped with auto-
matic gearboxes:
– the brake pedal is released, position D or M engaged or,
– the brake pedal is released, position N engaged and the handbrake off, or
– the brake pedal is pressed again, with position P engaged or position
N engaged with the handbrake ap-
plied, or
– position R is engaged or,
– the accelerator pedal is pressed.
For vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral and the clutch pedal is slightly depressed, or
– the engine is in gear and the clutch pedal is pressed right down.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (5/5)
Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (espe-
cially in urban conditions) when it is
used. For vehicles fitted with manual
air conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

2.44
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (for exam-
ple, engine protection, operation of the
Electronic Stability Programme: the au-
tomatic system may change gear auto-
matically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode. This will prevent the
automatic gearbox from changing
gear repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
– In cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
Driving in manual mode
With the selection lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– to move down through the gears, push the lever forwards;
– to move up through the gears, push the lever backwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.

When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (4/4)
76
Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
K
This function is managed automatically
(operation is confirmed by a warning
light on button 7), but you can also acti-
vate it manually.
NB:
– during recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and
is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the external atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-
ing in polluted areas, etc.);
– the recirculation of air makes it pos- sible to reach the desired passenger
compartment temperature quicker.
1
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.
Manual use
Press button 7 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-
tomatic mode as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 7.
To exit this function, press button 7
again. Stopping the system
Turn the control 6 to “OFF” to stop the
system. To start it, turn the control
6
again, then adjust the fan speed or
press the button 1.

TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
Before towing, unlock the steering
column: with the clutch depressed,
engage first gear (lever in position N
or R for vehicles with automatic gear-
boxes), insert the RENAULT card in the
card reader, then press the engine start
button for two seconds.
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi-
tion N for vehicles fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox).
The column is unlocked, the acces-
sory functions are supplied: the vehi-
cle lights can be used (indicators, brake
lights etc.). At night the vehicle must
have its lights on.
Once you have finished towing, press
the engine start button twice (risk of
running down the battery). The speed specified by current legis-
lation for towing must always be ob-
served. If your vehicle is the towing
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum
towing weight for your vehicle (refer to
the information on “Weights” in Section
6).
Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the trans-
mission is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the front wheels
off the ground.
Under
exceptional circumstances, you
may tow the vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, only going forward, with
the gear lever in the neutral N position,
and for a distance not exceeding
30 miles (50 km).
Do not remove the
RENAULT card from the
reader when the vehicle is
being towed.

If the lever is stuck in P , even though
you are depressing the brake pedal, the
lever can be released manually. To do
this, unclip the base of the lever, then
insert a tool (with a hard rod to it) into
the slot 1 and press the button 2 at the
same time in order to unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.
