Battery life
RENAULT cards are powered by a
battery which must be replaced when
battery tell-tale light 4 no longer lights
up (refer to the information on the
“RENAULT card: battery" in Section 5).
s pecial note: for some vehicles, the
RENAULT card records the settings se-
lected by the card user: the choice of
settings for the automatic climate con -
trol, some radios, electric seats (if this
is stored), the rear view mirror position-
ing, etc. It is therefore advisable always
to keep the same RENAULT card so
that you can recall your personal set -
tings.

Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean
the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.
In frosty weather, make sure that
the wiper blades are not stuck by ice
(risk of motor overheating).

OPENING REAR SCREEN
Vehicle with opening rear
screen
The rear screen is locked and unlocked
at the same time as the doors.
To open
Press button 1.
Lift the rear screen by the base of
screen wiper 2. To close
Hold the base of screen wiper
2 and
fold back the rear screen until it locks
in position.
Driving with the rear screen
open may be unpleasant
for passengers as exhaust
gases may enter the pas -
senger compartment. This must
only be done over short distances
or when transporting bulky ob -
jects without having to open the
tailgate. In that case, close the other
windows and the sunroof and switch
the ventilation to medium or max-
imum power , as this will help to
prevent exhaust gas from entering
the passenger compartment.

ROOF BARS (continued)
Removing the bars
It may sometimes be necessary to
remove the roof bars. To do this:
– unscrew section 5 using screw 4;
– unlock the bars using levers 2 and
slide them backwards to remove
them;
– refit section 5.
For safety reasons, always ensure that
the roof bars are properly secured if
they are being stored inside the vehicle.
Refitting the bars
Proceed in the reverse order to re -
moval.
Check the bars are correctly locked in
position.
Precautions during use
Using the sunroof (on equipped
vehicles) or the tailgate.
As a general rule, it is not advisable
to use the sunroof when there is a
load on the roof bars.
Before opening the sunroof or tail -
gate, check the objects and/or ac -
cessories (bike rack, roof box, etc.)
fitted to the roof bars: these must be
correctly positioned and secured, so
as not to hinder the operation of the
sunroof or luggage compartment lid.
Contact an approved dealer for de-
tails of possible conversions;

formation on how to fit roof bars and
conditions of use.
Please keep these instructions with
the rest of the vehicle documenta -
tion.
