FRONT HEADRESTS
To raise the headrest
Pull the headrest upwards to the de-
sired height.
To lower the headrest
Press button 2 and guide the headrest
down to the desired height.
To adjust the angle of the
headrest
Depending on the vehicle, tilt section A
towards or away from you to the re-
quired position.
To remove the headrest
Raise the headrest to its highest po-
sition (tilt the seatback backwards if
necessary). Press button 1 and lift the
headrest to release it.
To refit the headrest
Pull out the headrest rods 3 as far as
possible by pulling from the top. Take
care to ensure they are clean and cor-
rectly aligned and, if there are any prob-
lems, check that the notches are facing
forwards.
Insert the headrest rods into the holes
(tilt the seatback backwards if neces-
sary).
Lower the headrest until it locks, press
button 1 and lower the headrest as far
as possible.
Check that each headrest rod 3 is se-
curely locked in the seatback by trying
to pull them up or push them down.
The headrest is an impor-
tant safety component:
ensure that it is in place and
in the correct position. The
distance between your head and the
headrest and the distance between
the head and section A should be
as small as possible.

FRONT SEATS WITH MANUAL CONTROL
To move the seat forwards or
back
Lift handle 1 to release. Release the
handle at the desired position and
make sure that it is locked.
To adjust the height of the
seat base
Lower or pull lever 2 as many times as
is necessary to raise or lower the seat
base.
To tilt the seatback
Turn control knob 3 to the required po-
sition.
Heated seats(depending on vehicle)
With the engine running, turn control 4
to either position 1, 2 or 3 (depending
on the temperature required). An in-
dicator light on the instrument panel
lights up once the front seat heating
system is operating.
The system, which has a thermostat,
decides whether or not the heating is
needed.
For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not
being driven.
We would advise you not to recline the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the floor (area in front of driver) as suc\
h objects may
slide under the pedal during braking manoeuvres, thus obstructing its us\
e.

Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
Incorrectly adjusted or
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close as possible to your body, i.e.:
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head- rest. For maximum safety, your head
must be as close as possible to the
headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat
Rear-facing child seats
A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier
than that of an adult and its neck is very
fragile. Transport the child in this po-
sition for as long as possible (until the
age of 2 at the very least). It supports
both the head and the neck.
Choose a bucket type seat for best side
protection and change it as soon as the
child’s head is higher than the shell.Forward-facing child seats
The child’s head and abdomen need to
be protected as a priority. A forward-fac-
ing child seat which is firmly attached to
the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact
to the head. Ensure your child travels in
a forward-facing seat with a harness for
as long as their size permits.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can
travel using a booster seat, which will
enable the seat belt to be adapted
to suit his/her size and shape. The
booster seat cushion must be fitted with
guides to position the seat belt on the
child’s thighs rather than the stomach.
It is recommended that you use a seat-
back fitted with a belt strap guide which
can be adjusted in terms of height to
position the seat belt in the centre of the
shoulder. It must never rest on the neck
or on the arm.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.

Operating faults
The steering may become stiff when
driving or when the steering wheel is
turned repeatedly. This is due to the
power assistance overheating. In this
case, it must be allowed to cool down.Power-assisted steering
Variable power-assisted steering
The variable power-assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
Height and reach adjustment
Pull lever 1 and move the steering
wheel to the required position.
Then, push the lever back fully, beyond
the point of resistance to lock the steer-
ing wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Never leave the steering wheel at
full lock while stationary.
1
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.

These systems operate with the igni-
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
Electric windowsPress the window switch down or pull it
up to lower or raise the window to the
desired height.
From the driver’s seat, use switch:
1 for the driver’s side;
2 for the front passenger’s side;
3 and 5 for the rear passenger win-
dows;
4 for all the windows.
From the front passenger seat, move
switch 6.
Note: if the window detects resistance
when closing (e.g.: fingers, branch of
a tree, etc.) it stops and then lowers
again by a few centimetres.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS (1/2)
One-touch mode
Depending on the vehicle, this mode
works in addition to the operation of the
electric windows described previously.
Briefly press or pull the window switch
fully: the window lowers fully (all win-
dows) or rises (front windows only).
Pressing the switch again stops the
window moving.

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while. They may pose
a risk to themselves or to others
by starting the engine, activating
equipment such as the electric win-
dows or by locking the doors. If any
part of the body becomes trapped,
reverse the direction of the window
immediately by pressing the rele-
vant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against a
half-open window: there is a risk that
the electric window winder could be
damaged.
