Welcome to your new vehicle
The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the technical 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.

HANds-fREE RENAULT cARd: use (2/3)
Locking the vehicle
There are three ways to lock the vehi-
cle: remotely, using button 4 , or using
the RENAULT card.
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. Consult
an approved Dealer.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not
properly shut, or a card is in the passen -
ger compartment (or the card reader)
the vehicle will not lock. In this situa -
tion, no beep sounds and the hazard
warning lights do not flash.

Locking using button 4
With the doors and luggage compart -
ment closed, press button 4 on the driv-
er’s door handle. The vehicle will lock.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not
closed properly, the vehicle will quickly
lock/unlock.
Note: a RENAULT card must be within
the vehicle's access zone (zone 1 ) to
be able to lock the vehicle using the
button.
special note:
If you wish to check that the doors are
locked after locking using button 4, 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 move-
ment of a handle will unlock the vehicle.

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 properly, 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.
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.
When you lock the doors, the indicator
light remains lit and then goes out.
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside.
If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are
driving, remember that it
may be more difficult for the
emergency services to gain access
to the passenger compartment in
the event of an emergency.

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.

Advice: antipollution and fuel economy
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
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 parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac -
turer is actively striving to reduce pol -
lutant exhaust gas emissions and to
save energy. But the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main -
tained and used correctly.Aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, in order to
optimise consumption, an indicator light
on the instrument panel will inform you
of the best moment to upshift or down -
shift gears:
\ shift up a gear;
[ shift down a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to
respect antipollution regulations could
lead to legal action being taken against
the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu -
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations. Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved 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–
ignition: this does not require ad -
justment.
– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, efficiency and performance
the specifications laid down by our
Design Department must be strictly
applied.
If the spark plugs have to be
changed, use the make, type and
gap specified for your vehicle’s
engine. Contact an approved dealer
for this.
– idle: this does not require adjust -
ment.
– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele-
ment reduces performance. It must
be replaced.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad -
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi -
ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
– 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.
Driving
– 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.
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
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.

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 gearbox
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.

Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake or, depending
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
Special circumstances
– If the road contours and bends
do not allow you to stay in auto -
matic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),
we recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few mo-
ments before shifting the selector
lever from position P or N and en -
gaging D or R.
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– To move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.:
engine protection, operation of the
Electronic Stability Program) the auto -
mated system may change the gear au-
tomatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu -
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
An impact to the under -
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik -
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor -
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.

Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Turn control 2 clockwise to increase the
air flow in the passenger compartment.
The passenger compartment is ven -
tilated by blown air. The blower deter -
mines how much air enters but vehicle
speed has a slight effect on this.
Switching the air
recirculation on
Press button 6: the integrated indicator
light comes on.
Under these conditions, air is taken
from the passenger compartment and
is recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle.
Air recirculation is for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter -
nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart -
ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible. “oFF" position:
the system is deactivated: the ventila
-
tion speed for the passenger compart-
ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),
you can however still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.
Recommended demisting option:
Turn controls 1 , 2 and 4 to the
W
position.
This is the quickest option for de-icing
and demisting the side windows and
the windscreen.
MANuAl AIR coNDITIoNINg (2/2)
Prolonged use of air recirculation
can lead to condensation form -
ing on the side windows and wind -
screen, and discomfort due to the
use of non-renewed air in the pas -
senger compartment.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) as soon
as the air recirculation function is
no longer required, by pressing the
button 6 again.
The de-icing function cannot be used with the air recirculation mode to avoid any risk of condensation forming on the wind -
screen and triggers the air conditioning and the integrated indicator li\
ght 3 to come on.
