Roof flap
ROOF FLAp (1/2)
Driving with the roof flap
open may be unpleasant
for passengers because
exhaust gas may enter the
passenger compartment. This use
is solely for short distances, whilst
transporting bulky objects with-
out having to open the rear doors.
In this case, close the other win -
dows and operate the ventilation
system at the half or fully open
setting, as this will help to prevent
exhaust gas from entering the pas-
senger compartment.
123
Transverse bar
When loading bulky objects, the trans-
verse bar may be moved:
– Press the handle 3;
– lift the bar all the way to the door
pillar;
– lock the bar after loading.
To open:
– Unlock the control 2 , the roof flap
lifts automatically (ensure that noth-
ing stops the flap from opening. In
this case, use the handle 1 to guide
it open);
– when the roof flap is open, it must
be locked by pushing it towards the
front of the vehicle until the control 2
locks.
Important: It is prohibited to drive with
the roof flap open and unlocked. Note:
when driving with the roof flap
open, you may hear air noises. To
reduce these, open one of the side win-
dows slightly.

Choosing a child seat mounting
CHILD SAFeTy: choosing a child/baby seat mounting (1/2)
The are two ways of attaching child
seats: via the seat belt or using the
ISOFIX system.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated
by the child seat manufacturer are re-
spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly fastened by pulling it up, then
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by
moving it from side to side and back
to front: the seat should remain firmly
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been
installed at an angle and that it is not
resting against a window. Attachment with the ISOFIX system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap
-
proved in accordance with regulation
ECE-R44 in one of the three following
scenarios:
– ISOFIX universal 3 point forward -
facing seat;
– ISOFIX semi-universal 2 point seat;
– specific.
For the latter two, check that your child
seat can be installed by consulting the
list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings
and, in some cases, a third ring.
Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur -
chased for another vehicle,
check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of ve -
hicles which can be fitted with the
seat with the equipment manufac -
turer.
No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system
(belts, ISOFIX and seats
and their mountings) originally fitted.
The seat belt must never
be twisted or the tension
relieved. Never pass the
shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor-
mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved Dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.
Do not use the child seat
if it may unfasten the seat
belt restraining it: the base
of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat
belt.

c) Mileage before service
Distance remaining until the next service (displayed in kilometres),
then when the service nears, several scenarios are possible:
– distance/time less than 1800 miles (3000 km) or two months:
the message “service due” is displayed;
– mileage before service equal to 0 miles (0 km) or service date
reached: the message “change oil soon” is displayed when the
display selected is “mileage before service”, accompanied by
the
9 and © warning lights
The vehicle requires a service as soon as possible.
SERVICE IN
137.7 KM
Note:
depending on the vehicle, the mileage before service changes according to the driving style (frequent driving at low
speeds, door-to-door, prolonged periods at idle speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next service can
therefore, in some cases, be less than the actual distance remaining.
Resetting the display after the service in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
The mileage before service must only be reset after a service which complies with the recommendations in the Maintenance
Document.
If you decide to change the oil more frequently, do not reset this data each time the oil is changed to avoid exceeding the re-
placement intervals for other parts in the maintenance schedule.
Special features: to reset the mileage before service value, go to the service page (see image above) and press and hold one
of the display’s reset buttons for at least 10 seconds until the mileage before service value is displayed continuously. Refer to
the information on the “Trip computer and warning system: general information” in Section 2.

Special features of petrol versions
SPECIAl fEATURES Of PETROl VERSIONS
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub -
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.
The following operating conditions
should be avoided:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives
which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
disconnected spark plugs resulting
in the engine misfiring or cutting out
when driving;
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu
-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con -
verter, do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.

Conseils : antipollution, économies de carburant, conduite (X83 - X61 - Renault)
ENG_NU_813-11_FK61_Renault_2
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%. –
Avoid using the car for door-to-door
calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
–
In vehicles fitted with air condi -
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es -
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo -
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
