LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (2/2)
Door and tailgate status
indicator
With the ignition on, the warning light
integrated in switch 3 informs you of the
locking status of the opening elements:
– indicator light on, the doors and tail- gate are locked,
– indicator light off, the doors and tail- gate are unlocked.
When you lock the doors, the indicator
light remains lit and then goes out.
Locking the doors without
the RENAULT card
For example, in the event of a dis-
charged battery or the RENAULT card
temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine switched off and
an opening element (door or boot)
open, press and hold switch 3 for more
than five seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors
and the tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking the vehicle from the outside
is only possible with the RENAULT card
in the vehicle's access zone or using
the key integrated in the RENAULT
card.
Interior locking/unlocking
door control
Switch 3 controls the doors, boot and,
depending on the vehicle, the fuel filler
flap simultaneously.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not
closed properly, the doors and tailgate
lock/unlock quickly.
If you need to transport objects with the
boot open, the other opening elements
can still be locked: with the engine
stopped, press switch 3 for more than
five seconds to lock the other opening
elements.

Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are
driving, remember that it
may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside.
After locking/unlocking the vehicle
or the luggage compartment only
using the buttons on the RENAULT
card, remote locking and unlocking
in hands-free mode are deactivated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:
restart the vehicle.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same as fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing him or her to play on a fourth-
floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the “Child
safety” device (refer to the
information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

1.30
CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat
Rear-facing child seats
A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier
than that of an adult and its neck is very
fragile. Transport the child in this po-
sition for as long as possible (until the
age of 2 at the very least). It supports
both the head and the neck.
Choose a bucket type seat for best side
protection and change it as soon as the
child’s head is higher than the shell.Forward-facing child seats
The child’s head and abdomen need to
be protected as a priority. A forward-fac-
ing child seat which is firmly attached to
the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact
to the head. Ensure your child travels in
a forward-facing seat with a harness for
as long as their size permits.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can
travel using a booster seat, which will
enable the seat belt to be adapted to
suit his/her size and shape. The boos-
ter seat cushion must be fitted with
guides to position the seat belt on the
child’s thighs rather than the stomach.
It is recommended that you use a seat-
back fitted with a belt strap guide which
can be adjusted in terms of height to
position the seat belt in the centre of the
shoulder. It must never rest on the neck
or on the arm.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.

Daytime running lights
function
The daytime running lights come on
automatically with no action on stalk 1
when the engine is started, and they go
off once the engine is switched off.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (1/3)
šSide lights
Turn the ring 2 until the symbol
is opposite mark 3.
An indicator light on the instrument
panel will come on.
1
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.
When driving on the left in a left-
hand drive vehicle (or vice versa),
drivers must re-adjust their lights
throughout their stay (see “Adjusting
headlight beams” in Section 1).

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (3/3)
fRear fog light
Turn the centre ring 4 on
the stalk until the symbol is opposite
mark 5, then release it.
Depending on the vehicle, the stalk re-
turns to the initial position or stays in
position.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting selected, and an in-
dicator light will light up on the instru-
ment panel.
To avoid inconveniencing other road
users, remember to switch off the rear
fog light when it is no longer needed.
Turning off the fog lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, depending on the vehi- cle, turn the ring 4 again to bring the
mark 5 opposite the symbol for the
fog light that you want to switch off,
or bring the ring 4 into position 0. The
corresponding indicator light will go
out on the instrument panel;
– the lights will go out automati- cally when the engine is switched
off or the vehicle is locked, and the
fog lights when the driver’s door is
opened.
The front and rear fog lights switch off
when the exterior lights are switched
off.
When driving in fog or snow, or
when transporting objects which are
higher than the roof, the headlights
do not come on automatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains
the responsibility of the driver: the
indicator lights on the instrument
panel inform you whether the fog
lights are lit (indicator light on) or not
(indicator light not on).

Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats adapted to the ve-
hicle that attach to the pre-
installed parts, and regularly check
their mounting. Do not place several
mats on top of each other.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals

2.21
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (2/7)
Operating conditions
The system should be reset with an
inflation pressure equal to that given
on the tyre inflation pressure label.
Otherwise it risks not giving a reliable
warning in the event of a significant loss
of pressure. Please refer to the informa-
tion on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4.
In the following situations, the system
risk coming into action late or not func-
tioning correctly:
– system not reset after reinflation or any operation on the wheels;
– system badly reset: different inflation pressures from the recommended
pressures;
– significant change in load or distribu- tion of load on one side of the vehi-
cle;
– sporty driving with strong accelera- tion;
– driving on snowy or slippery surface;
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
1
– driving with snow chains;
– fitting a single new tyre;
– use of tyres not approved by the net- work.
– ...
SYSTEM A
Operating principle
This system detects a loss of pressure
in one of the tyres by measuring the
wheel speed while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punc-
tured tyre, etc.).

3.28
Always position the heavi-
est items directly on the
floor. Use the lashing
points 1 on the boot floor, if
these are fitted to the vehicle. The
luggage should be loaded in such a
way that no items will be thrown for-
ward and strike the occupants if the
driver has to brake suddenly. Fasten
the rear seat belts, even if the seats
are not occupied.
TRANSPORTING OBJECTS IN THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
Always position the objects transported
so that the largest surface is against:
– The rear bench seatback for normal loads (example A).
– The front seatbacks with the rear
seatbacks folded down, the mobile
floor in the flat-floor position (exam-
ple B).
– The front seatbacks with the rear seatbacks folded down, the mobile
floor in the stored-away position, as is
the case for maximum loads (exam-
ple C).
If you have to place objects on the folded
seatback, it is necessary that you lower
the headrests before folding the seat-
back so that it can be folded as flat as
possible against the seat.
