ONE-TOUCH ELECTRIC WINDOWS
The one-touch mode works in addition
to the operation of the electric windows
described previously.
If it is fitted to the vehicle, it may be
fitted: to the driver’s window or to all
four windows.
Press switches 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7.
The system operates:
– with the ignition on;
– with the ignition off until one of the
front doors is opened (limited to ap-
proximately 20 minutes).

Safety of rear occupants
The driver can authorise operation of the rear doors and, depending on
the vehicle, the rear electric windows by pressing switch 4 . The inte -
grated indicator on the switch confirms this.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card or remote control inside and
never leave a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even for a short while. The reason
for this is that the child may endanger himself or others by starting the vehicle,
activating equipment such as the windows, or locking the doors. If a body part
gets trapped, reverse the direction of travel of the window as soon as possible by
pressing the relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.

objects and/or accessories (bike
racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to
the roof bars: they should be prop -
erly arranged and secured and
should not interfere with the opera -
tion of the sunroof.
Contact an approved dealer for de -
tails of possible conversions;
– check that the sunroof is properly
closed before leaving your vehicle;
– clean the seal every three months
using products recommended by our
Technical Department;
– do not open the sunroof immedi -
ately after it has rained or immedi -
ately after washing the vehicle.1

Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to
the Park position (refer to the informa-

Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and refit
the antenna after washing.y ou should
Observe the vehicle stopping distances
when driving on gravelled surfaces to
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas
where the paint has been damaged, to
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe -
riodically in order to maintain your
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
Respect local regulations about wash -
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off, with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor -

If it is necessary to clean mechani -
cal components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco -
hol must not be used.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur -
er’s accessory outlets.

Do not throw away your
used batteries; give them to
an organisation responsible
for collecting and recycling
batteries.
The batteries are available from ap-
proved dealers. Their service life is
approximately two years. Check that
there is no dye on the battery: risk of
an incorrect electrical contact.

BAtter Y: troubleshooting (continued)
connecting a battery charger
t he battery charger must be com -
patible with a battery with a nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
It is essential to disconnect both bat -
tery leads from the terminals (engine
stopped) starting with the negative
terminal.
Do not disconnect the battery when the
engine is running. Follow the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturer of
the battery charger you are using.
Only a fully charged and well-main -
tained battery will have a long and
useful life and enable you to start the
vehicle’s engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and dry.
Have the battery’s charge status
checked regularly:
– Especially if you use your vehicle for
short journeys or for frequent driving
in town. –
When the exterior temperature drops
(in winter), the charge decreases.
In winter, only use electrical equip -
ment which is really necessary.
– Finally, you should understand that
the charge decreases naturally as a
result of certain permanent electrical
consumers such as the clock, after-
sales accessories, etc.
When a large number of accessories
are fitted to the vehicle, have them con-
nected to the + after ignition feed. In
this case, it is advisable to have your
vehicle fitted with a battery which has
an increased nominal capacity. Contact
an approved dealer. If your vehicle is to be left stationary
for a relatively long time, disconnect
the battery or have it recharged regu
-
larly, particularly during cold weather.
The equipment with a memory, radio
etc. will then have to be reprogrammed.
The battery must be stored in a cool dry
place, protected from frost.
Special procedures may be
required to charge some
batteries. Contact your ap -
proved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may
cause an immediate explosion, and
charge the battery in a well-venti -
lated area. Risk of serious injury.
