moves back several centimetres.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card or
key 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 engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.
If a part of the body becomes
trapped, reverse the direction of
travel by pressing switch 8.
Risk of serious injury.

Precautions during use
– 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 the vehicle has been in
the rain or after your car has been
washed.
– Vehicle with roof bars
As a general rule, if there is a load
on the roof, use of the sunroof is not
recommended.
Before using the sunroof, check the
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 your approved Dealer for
details of possible conversions.
operating faults
Electric windows
In case of a fault when closing a window,
the system reverts to normal mode:
pull the switch concerned up as often
as necessary to fully close the window
(the window will close gradually), hold
the switch (still on the closure side) for
three seconds then lower and raise the
window fully to reinitialise the system.
If necessary, contact your approved
Dealer.
Electric sunroof
Consult an approved Dealer.
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.
Important: during this operation,
the sunroof anti-pinch facility is de-
activated. Contact your approved
dealer as soon as possible.
