ENVIRONMENT
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to 
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) 
while in use, and therefore to consume 
less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to 
5.3  l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a 
particle filter system including a cata-
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and 
an active carbon filter (the latter pre-
vents vapour from the fuel tank being 
released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system 
also has a particle filter to reduce the 
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own 
contribution towards 
protecting the environment 
too
–  Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or 
filled with used oil) must be disposed 
of through specialist organisations. –  At the end of the vehicle’s service 
life, it should be sent to approved 
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
–  In all cases, comply with local legis- lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and 
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of 
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled. 
The materials and structures have 
been carefully designed to allow these 
components to be easily removed and 
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable 
or animal-derived materials such as 
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with 
respect for the environment in mind for 
its entire service life: during production, 
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the 
Renault eco² signature.Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at 
a factory which complies with a policy 
to reduce the environmental impact 
on the surrounding areas (reduction of 
water and energy consumption, visual 
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste).

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.

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.).

2.22
SYSTEM A (cntd.)
Resetting the standard level for the 
tyre pressures
This should be done:
–  after each reinflation or readjustment of the pressure of one of the tyres;
–  when the standard tyre pressure  needs to be changed to adapt to 
usage conditions (empty, carrying a 
load, motorway driving, etc.);
–  after changing a wheel;
–  after using the tyre inflation kit;
2
3
4
–  after swapping a wheel (however,  this practice is not recommended).
It should always be done after checking 
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when 
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the 
current usage of the vehicle (empty, 
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
Resetting procedure
With the ignition on:
–  repeatedly press one of the but- tons  3 or 4  to select the “TYRE 
PRESSURE : SET TPW” function on 
the display  2;
–  press and hold (around 3 seconds)  button  3 or 4  to start initialisation. 
The display of the message “SET 
TPW LAUNCHED 
” for around 
five seconds indicates that the reset 
request for the tyre pressure refer-
ence value has been taken into ac-
count.
Reinitialisation is carried out after a few 
minutes’ driving.
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (3/7)
Display
The display 2  on the instrument panel 
informs you of any tyre pressure faults 
(flat tyre, punctured tyre, etc.).
“INFLATE TIRES AND SET TPW”
Warning light 
 comes on, along 
with the message “INFLATE TIRES 
AND SET TPW”. They indicate that at 
least one tyre is flat or punctured.
In the event of a flat tyre, inflate the re-
levant tyre.
In the event of a puncture, change the 
tyre or consult an authorised dealer. 
Check and readjust the pressure of the 
four tyres when cold, and launch the 
reset of the tyre pressure reference 
value. Warning light 
 goes out 
after launching the reinitialisation of the 
tyre pressure reference value.
The sudden loss of pressure in a 
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (5/7)
SYSTEM B
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency 
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures 
the tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light 
 1  comes on to 
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punctu-
red tyre, etc.).
Resetting the standard level for the 
tyre pressures
This should be done:
–  when the standard tyre pressure  needs to be changed to adapt to 
usage conditions (empty, carrying a 
load, motorway driving, etc.);
–  after swapping a wheel (however  this practice is not recommended);
–  after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking 
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when 
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the 
current usage of the vehicle (empty, 
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
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.

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/5)
Electronic stability program 
(ESC) with understeer control 
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control 
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip 
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects 
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle 
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to 
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and 
corrects the trajectory if necessary by 
controlling the braking of certain wheels 
and/or engine power. In the event that 
the system is engaged, indicator light 
 flashes on the instrument panel.Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the 
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of 
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or 
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system 
measures and compares the speed of 
the drive wheels at all times and slows 
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is 
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip 
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine 
speed to the grip available under the 
wheels, independently of the pressure 
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of 
critical driving conditions, 
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving 
conditions.
However, the functions do not take 
the place of the driver. They do 
not increase the vehicle’s limits 
and should not encourage you 
to drive more quickly.  Therefore, 
they can under no circumstances 
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring 
the vehicle (the driver must always 
be ready for sudden incidents which 
may occur when driving).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault, the 
© and  warn-
ing lights come on and, depending on 
the vehicle, the message “Check ESC” 
appears on the instrument panel. In 
this case, the ESC and traction control 
system are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

2.29
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/5)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS 
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system allows an emergency brak-
ing situation to be detected when the 
brake pedal is pressed. In this case, the 
braking assistance immediately devel-
ops maximum power and may trigger 
ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as 
the brake pedal is applied. Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may 
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.
Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you 
rapidly release the accelerator, the 
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping 
distances.
When using the cruise control:
–  if you use the accelerator, when you 
release it, the system may be trig-
gered;
–  if you do not use the accelerator, the  system will not be triggered.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating 
fault the message “CHECK BRAKING 
SYSTEM” appears on the instrument 
panel along with the 
© warning 
light. 
Consult an approved dealer.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of 
critical driving conditions, 
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving 
conditions.
However, the functions do not take 
the place of the driver. They do 
not increase the vehicle’s limits 
and should not encourage you 
to drive more quickly.  Therefore, 
they can under no circumstances 
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring 
the vehicle (the driver must always 
be ready for sudden incidents which 
may occur when driving).

2.35
The cruise control function helps you to 
maintain your driving speed at a speed 
that you choose, called the cruising 
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any 
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. However, 
the function does not take 
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to 
be vigilant (the driver must always 
be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in 
heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-
pery roads (black ice, aquaplan-
ing, gravel) and during bad weather 
(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
The cruise control function 
is in no way linked to the 
braking system.
Controls
1  Main “On/Off” switch.
2  Cruising speed activation, storage  and increase switch (+).
3  Decreasing cruising speed (-).
4  Activation with recall of saved cruis- ing speed (R).
5  Switch the function to standby (with  cruising speed saved) (O).

Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the 
rear bumper (depending on the vehi-
cle), measure the distance between the 
vehicle and an obstacle whilst revers-
ing.
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 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
NB: make sure that the ultrasonic sen-
sors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, 
snow, etc.).
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)Operation
When reverse gear is selected, most 
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the 
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds 
and, depending on the vehicle, the dis-
play 1 comes on.
Note: depending on the vehicle, the 
screen 1 shows the vehicle surround-
ings alongside the beeps.
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between t\
he 
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: alw\
ays 
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pra\
m or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your p\
ath when 
manoeuvring.

Note:
–  ensure that the reversing camera is not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, etc.);
–  depending on the vehicle, certain  settings can be adjusted from the 
touch screen 2 . Refer to the hand-
book for the equipment.OperationWhen going into reverse gear (and up 
to around 5 seconds after shifting into 
another gear), the camera  1 placed 
next to the lights transmits a view of 
the rear surroundings of the vehicle on 
the touch screen 2, accompanied by a 
mobile and fixed gauge.
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.This function is an additional 
aid. It cannot, therefore, 
under any circumstances 
replace the vigilance or the 
responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always pay atten-
tion to sudden incidents during driv-
ing: always ensure that there are no 
moving obstacles (such as a child, 
animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small, 
narrow objects such as stones or 
posts in your path when manoeu-
vring.

REVERSING CAMERA (2/2)
The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation 
projected onto flat ground; this in-
formation must not be taken into 
account when superimposed on a 
vertical object or an object on the 
ground.
Objects which appear on the edge 
of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in 
sunshine etc.), the camera vision 
may be adversely affected.
If the boot is open or poorly closed, 
the message “Boot open 
2” ap-
pears and, depending on the vehi-
cle, the camera display disappears.
This function is an additional 
aid. It cannot, therefore, 
under any circumstances 
replace the vigilance or the 
responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always pay atten-
tion to sudden incidents during driv-
ing: always ensure that there are no

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 centi-
metres 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.
Dynamic gauge 3 (depending on the 
vehicle)
This is shown in blue on screen  2. It in-
dicates the vehicle trajectory according 
to the position of the steering wheel.
