STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE (2/3)
Limited use
– When the engine is running, a ve -
hicle door is open and the card is
outside the vehicle (for example
when the driver gets out to open the
garage door): the engine continues
to run.
– When the engine is running, the ve-
hicle doors are closed and the card
is outside the vehicle (for example
when a passenger leaves the ve -
hicle and takes the RENAULT card
with them): the message “card not
detected” appears on the instrument
panel. The warning light flashes on
emergency card reader 3 and a beep
sounds when the vehicle is restarted
to warn you.
– The RENAULT card's operation
may be affected by interference
from nearby devices, such as exte -
rior installations or equipment oper -
ating on the same frequency as the
RENAULT card.
When you leave your vehi -
cle, especially if you have
your RENAULT card with
you, check that the engine
is completely switched off.
Hands-Free mode operating
fault

With the RENAULT card fully inserted in
card reader 3 (until the steering column
is heard to unlock), button 1 lights up
to confirm the engine is authorised to
start: press button 1 briefly to start the
vehicle. Note: button
1 is off if you are not in a
position to start (e.g. diesel preheating,
gear selected etc.).
In both cases, the pedal must be de -
pressed throughout the engine starting
phase.
Special circumstances
In some cases it will be necessary to
move the steering wheel while pressing
button 1 to unlock the steering column.

ASSISTED PARKING BRAKE (continued)
v ersions with an automatic
gearbox
Never leave your vehicle without
moving the selector lever to position N
or P.
For safety reasons, if the lever is not in
one of these positions and the driver’s
door is open or incorrectly shut, the au-
tomatic release function is deactivated.
Emergency unlocking(battery fault or system failure).
To release the assisted parking brake:
lift cover 7 and pull handle 6 until the
unlocking noise can be heard.
This control cannot be used to reap-
ply the parking brake.
After having replaced the battery, the
system will be operational from the first
manual release command.
Operating faults
– In the event of a fault, a warning
message appears on the display
(depending on the vehicle) and de -
pending on the case, warning light 2
flashes and warning light 5 lights up.
– If the assisted parking brake cannot
be used, indicator light 3 flashes for
approximately 10 seconds when the
engine is started, then goes out.
Each time handle 1 is used and
each time the engine is switched off
indicator lights 2 and 3 will flash for
10 seconds.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Never leave a child (or a
pet) in the vehicle with the
RENAULT card in the card
reader or passenger com -
partment. They could release the
parking brake and cause the vehicle
to move off unintentionally.

– Brake as little as possible by suitably
anticipating an obstacle or bend and
then simply releasing the accelerator
pedal.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– 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.
ADvIcE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (continued)
Do not drive through floods if
the water is above the lower
edge of the wheel rims.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at -
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in -
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult
your approved dealer as soon as
possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Driving– 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.
Always use the highest gear possi -
ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with an automatic trans-
mission, it is preferable to keep the
gear lever in position D.
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.
Risk of pedals jamming

Assistance au freinage d’urgence
EMERGENcY BRAKE ASSIST
This system is complementary to the
ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
Operating principle
The system allows an emergency brak-
ing situation to be detected via a sensor
that measures the speed with which the
brake pedal is depressed. In this case,
the braking assistance instantly pro -
vides its maximum power.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights
activation
These may light up in the event of rapid
deceleration.
In this case, the hazard warning lights
may be switched off by pressing the
hazard warning lights switch twice.
This function is an addi -
tional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav -
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the function does not take
the place of the driver. It does not
increase the vehicle’s limits and
should not encourage you to
drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum -
stances replace the vigilance or re-
sponsibility of the driver when ma -
noeuvring the vehicle (the driver
must always be ready for sudden in-
cidents which may occur when driv-
ing).
