telephones, etc.
Refer to the separate instructions for
the function to understand the special
features of this equipment.
External temperature
indicator
Special note:
When the exterior temperature is - 3°C
to + 3°C, the °C characters flash (sig-
nalling a risk of ice on the road).
External temperature in-
dicator
As ice formation is related
to climatic exposure, local
air humidity and temperature, the
external temperature alone is not
sufficient to detect ice.
CLOCK AND EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE (2/2)
If the power supply is cut (battery disconnected, supply wire cut, etc.\
), the clock
must be reset.
We recommend that you do not adjust these settings while driving.

STOP AND START FUNCTION (3/4)
Conditions preventing the
standby of the engine
Certain conditions prevent the system
from using the engine standby function,
including when:
– reverse gear is engaged;
– the bonnet is not locked;
– the driver’s door is not closed;
– the driver’s seatbelt is not fastened;
– the outdoor temperature is too low or too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the difference between the vehicle interior temperature and the auto-
matic climate control instruction is
too high; – for vehicles with automatic gear-
boxes, the gradient is steeper than
approximately 12%;
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see “Automatic Climate
Control” in Section 3);
– the engine temperature is too low;
– the emission control system is being regenerated;
or
– ...
The warning light
 or, depend-
ing on the vehicle, the message “AUTO
STOP UNAVAILABLE” appears on the
instrument panel indicating that engine
standby is not available.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.
Special cases
With the engine on standby (traffic jam,

their seat belt, opens the driver’s door
or gets out of their seat, the ignition will
be switched off.
To restart and reactivate the Stop and
Start system, press the start button

Special feature of the automatic
engine re-start
Under certain conditions, the engine
can restart on its own in order to guar-
antee your safety and comfort.
This can occur especially when:
– the outdoor temperature is too low or too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see “Automatic Climate
Control” in Section 3);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the vehicle speed is above 3 mph (5 km/h) (downhill slope, etc.);
– repeated pressing on the brake pedal or braking system require-
ment;
– ...
In the event of an emer-
gency, the engine can be
restarted by pressing on the
clutch pedal if the Stop and
Start function is activated.
Deactivating, activating the
function
Press switch 1 to deactivate the func-
tion. The message “Stop & Start deac-
tivated” will appear on the instrument
panel and the integrated warning light 2
on the switch will light up.
Pressing again will reactivate the
system. The message “Stop & Start ac-
tivated” will appear on the instrument
panel and the integrated warning light 2
on switch 1 will go out. The system reactivates automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started
using the start button (please refer
to “Starting, stopping the engine” in
Section 2).
Operating faults
When the message “Check Stop &
Start” appears on the instrument panel
and the integrated warning light
2 lights
up on the switch 1, the system is deac-
tivated.
Please consult an authorised dealer.
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition by pressing
the engine stop (please see
“Starting, stopping the engine”).
Note: With the engine on standby,
press switch 1 to automatically re-
start the engine.

2.11
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
If the message “CHECK ANTI-
POLLUTION SYSTEM” is displayed
along with warning lights
Ä and
©, consult an authorised dealer
immediately.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely drai-
ned, the system must be reprimed after
the tank is refilled: see information on
the “fuel tank” in section 1 before res-
tarting the engine.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible subs-
tances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully charged,
– always keep the diesel tank re- latively full to avoid water vapour
condensing in it and accumulating at
the bottom of the tank.

2.19
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).
