ple, but comprehensive advice concerning regular main -
tenance.
– to enable you to deal quickly with minor faults not requiring specialist\
attention.
It is well worth taking a few minutes to read this handbook to familiari\
se yourself with the information and guidelines it cont ains
about the vehicle and its functions and new features. If certain points \
are still unclear, our Network technicians will be only too
pleased to provide you with any additional information.

Welcome to your new vehicle
The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the t\
echnical specifications at the time of writing. This hand-
book covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the c\
ountry where the vehicle is sold.
This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to b\
e introduced later in the model year.
Throughout the manual, the “approved Dealer” is your RENAULT Dealer. To indicate a hazard, danger or safety recommendation.
Enjoy driving your new vehicle.

Recommendations
Do not store the RENAULT card
anywhere it may come into con-
tact with other electronic equipment
(computer, PDA, phone, etc.) as this
could hinder its operation.
After unlocking the vehicle or the
boot only using the buttons of the
RENAULT card, remote locking and
unlocking in hands-free mode are
deactivated.
To reactivate the hands-free mode:
restart the vehicle.
3
Unlocking the vehicleWith the RENAULT card in the zone 1,
press the button 3 or, depending on the
vehicle, place your hand behind the
handle 2: the vehicle will unlock.
In some cases (leaving the vehicle
parked for several days, for example),
you may need to pull handle 2 twice to
unlock the vehicle and open the door.
Pressing the button 4 also unlocks all
the doors and the tailgate.
The hazard warning lights flash once
to indicate that the doors have been un-
locked.

1.6
HANDS-FREE RENAULT CARD: use (2/3)
Locking the vehicle
There are three ways to lock the ve-
hicle: remotely, using the button 3, or
using the RENAULT card.
These three modes also allow the vehi-
cle to be locked with the roof open.
Remote locking
With the RENAULT card on you, and
doors and tailgate closed, move away
from the vehicle: it will lock automati-
cally once you have left zone 1.
Note: The distance at which the vehicle
locks depends on the surroundings. The hazard warning lights
flash twice
and a beep sounds to indicate that the
doors have locked.
The beep may be switched off. Please
consult an authorised dealer.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not
properly closed, or a card is in the
passenger compartment (or the card
reader) the vehicle will not lock. In this
situation, no beep sounds and the
hazard warning lights do not flash.
Locking using the button 3
With the doors and boot closed, press
the button 3 on the driver’s door. The
vehicle will lock. If a door or the boot is
open or not closed properly, the vehicle
will quickly lock/unlock.
Note: The RENAULT card must be
within the vehicle’s detection zone 1 to
be able to use the button for locking.
Special note: If you wish to check that
the doors are locked after locking using
the button 3 , you have approximately
three seconds to try the door handles
without unlocking them. After this delay,
the hands-free mode is activated once
again and any movement of a handle
will unlock the vehicle.

Locking the vehicle also locks the
glove box.

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (2/2)
Interior locking/unlocking
door control
Switch 4 controls the doors, tailgate
and, depending on the vehicle, the fuel
filler flap simultaneously. If a door or
the tailgate is open or not closed prop-
erly, the doors and tailgate lock/unlock
quickly.
If transporting an object with the tail-
gate open, you can still lock the doors:
with the engine stopped, press and
hold switch 4 for more than five sec-
onds to lock the other doors. Switch 4
can be used to unlock the
glove box.
Locking the doors without
the RENAULT card
For example, in the event of a dis-
charged battery or the RENAULT card
temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine switched off and a
door or tailgate open, press and hold
switch 4 for more than five seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors
and the tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking the vehicle from the outside
is only possible with the RENAULT card
in the vehicle's access zone or using
the key integrated in the RENAULT
card.
Door and tailgate status
indicator
When the ignition is on, the indicator
light integrated in switch 4 informs you
of the status of the doors and tailgate:
– indicator light on, the doors and tail- gate are locked;
– indicator light off, the doors and tail- gate are unlocked.
With the ignition off , the indicator light
remains lit and then goes out when you
lock the doors.
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside.
4
After locking/unlocking the vehicle
or the tailgate only using the but-
tons on the RENAULT card, remote
locking and unlocking in hands-free
mode are deactivated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:
restart the vehicle.
Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are
driving, remember that it
may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/3)
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– 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:
Do not drive through floods
if the water is above the
lower edge of the wheel
rims.
An overall rating from 0 to 100 is dis-
played to let you assess your eco driv-
ing performance. The higher the score,
the better your eco-driving perform-
ance.
Eco advice is given to help improve
your performance.
With your favourite journeys saved, you
can evaluate your performance.
For more information, please see the
multimedia system instructions.
Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– 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.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
Obstruction to driving
On the driver’s side, only
use mats which are specifi-
cally designed for the vehi-
cle, attaching them to the elements
provided and regularly checking
they are secure. Do not lay several
mats on top of each other.
There is a risk the pedals may be
obstructed

2.18
MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life, which will come
into force in 2015.
Some of the parts on your vehicle have
been designed to be recycled later.
These parts are easily removable in
order to be collected and reprocessed
in recycling networks.
Furthermore, by virtue of its design,
moderate fuel consumption and initial
settings, your vehicle also conforms
to current anti-pollution regulations.
The manufacturer is actively striving
to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emis-
sions and to save energy. However,
the fuel consumption of your vehicle
and the level of pollutant exhaust gas
emissions are also your responsibility.
Ensure that it is maintained and used
correctly.Maintenance
It is important to remember that fail-
ure to respect anti-pollution regulations
could lead to legal action being taken
against the vehicle owner.
In addition, replacing engine, fuel
supply system and exhaust compo-
nents with parts other than those origi-
nally recommended by the manufac-
turer may alter your vehicle so that it
no longer complies with anti-pollution
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an authorised dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– Air filter, fuel filter: a choked ele-
ment will reduce efficiency. It must
be replaced.
– Idle speed: no adjustment is needed.
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 an approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
an authorised dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

2.36
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/4)
Automatic activation/deactivation
of the front and/or rear parking
distance control
The system deactivates:
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or when the gearstick has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
1
Rear parking distance control
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of
the vehicle are detected and a beep
sounds.
Note: The screen 1 shows the vehicle
surroundings alongside the beeps. The system is designed to aid park-
ing, and under no circumstances guar-
antees a sufficient distance to operate
the retractable roof. Before moving the
roof in any way, first check that the sur-
rounding space exceeds the required
minimum distances (refer to the infor-
mation on the “Retractable glass roof”
in Section 3).
In all cases, a continuous sound indi-
cates that the roof cannot move.
Front parking distance
control
(depending on vehicle)
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
Most objects located less than around
1 metre away from the front of the ve-
hicle are detected and a beep sounds.
Depending on the vehicle, the display
1
lights up.
Note: The screen 1 shows the vehicle
surroundings alongside the beeps.

2.39
Selector lever 1
Display 3 on the instrument panel
shows the mode and gear selected.
4: P: park
5: R: reverse gear
6: N: neutral
7: D: automatic mode
8 : manual mode
9: zone displaying gearbox mode or
gear engaged in manual mode
Operation
With the gear lever 1 in position P,
switch on the ignition.
To move out of position P, you must de-
press the brake pedal before pressing
unlocking button 2.
With the foot on the brake pedal (warn-
ing light
c on the display 3 goes out),
move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi-
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re-
leased.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (1/3)
Driving in automatic mode
Select position D. In most traffic con-
ditions, you will not have to touch the
gear selector lever again: the gears will
change automatically at the right time
and at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the particu-
lar driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.
