Stopping the engine
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never  leave  your  vehicle 
with  the  RENAULT  card 
inside  and  never  leave  a 
child  (or  a  pet)  unsuper -
vised, even for a short while.
There  is  a  risk  that  they  could  start 
the  engine  or  operate  electrical 
equipment  (electric  windows  etc.) 
and  trap  part  of  their  body  (neck, 
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never  switch  off  the  ignition  before 
the vehicle has stopped completely. 
Once  the  engine  has  stopped,  the 
brake  servo,  power-assisted  steer -
ing,  etc.  and  the  passive  safety  de-
vices  such  as  air  bags  and  preten -
sioners will no longer operate.
When  you  leave  your  vehi -
cle,  especially  if  you  have 
your  RENAULT  card  with 
you,  check  that  the  engine 
is completely switched off.
Special note
If  the  card  is  no  longer  in  the  reader 
when  you  try  to  switch  the  engine  off, 
the  message  “ No  keycard  Press  and 
hold ” appears on the instrument panel: 
press button 1 for longer than two sec-
onds.
Hands-free RENAULT card
With  the  card  in  the  vehicle,  press 
button 1: the engine will stop. The steer-
ing  column  is  locked  when  the  driver’s 
door is opened or the vehicle is locked.
If the card is no longer in the passenger 
compartment when you try to switch the 
engine  off,  the  message  “ No  keycard 
Press  and  hold ”  appears  on  the  instru-
ment  panel:  press  button  1   for  longer 
than two seconds.
With  the  engine  switched  off,  any  ac -
cessories  being  used  (radio,  etc.)  will 
continue  to  function  for  approximately 
10 minutes.
When  the  driver’s  door  is  opened,  the 
accessories stop working.
Conditions for stopping the 
engine
The  vehicle  must  stationary,  with  the 
lever  positioned  in  N  or  P  for  vehicles 
with an automatic transmission.
Remote control RENAULT

Cruise control
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER:  cruise control function (1/4)
The cruise control function helps you to 
maintain your driving speed at a speed 
that  you  choose,  called  the  cruising 
speed.
This  cruising  speed  may  be  set  at  any 
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
The  cruise  control  function 
is  in  no  way  linked  to  the 
braking system.
This  function  is  an  addi -
tional  driving  aid.  However, 
the  function  does  not  take 
the  place  of  the  driver. 
Therefore,  it  can  under  no  circum -
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to 
be  vigilant  (the  driver  must  always 
be  ready  to  brake).  Cruise  control 
must not be used in heavy traffic, on 
undulating  or  slippery  roads  (black 
ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during 
bad  weather  (fog,  rain,  side  winds 
etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Controls
  1  Main “On/Off” switch.
  2  Limit speed activation, storage and 
increase switch (+).
  3  Decrease cruising speed (-).
  4  Switch  the  function  to  standby 
(with  memorisation  of  the  gov -
erned cruising speed) (O).
  5  Activation with recall of stored gov-
erned cruising speed (R).

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
AIR coNDITIoNINg:  information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase   
in  fuel  consumption  (especially   
when  driving  in  town)  when  the  air   
conditioning is operating.
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:
Drive  with  the  air  vents  open  and   
the windows closed.
If  the  vehicle  has  been  parked  in   
the  sun,  open  the  doors  for  a  few   
moments  to  let  the  hot  air  escape   
before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer  to  the  Maintenance  Service   
Booklet  for  your  vehicle  for  the  in - 
spection frequency.operating faults
As  a  general  rule,  contact  your  ap- 
proved Dealer in the event of an op- 
erating fault:
–  reduction  in  de-icing,  demist - 
ing or air conditioning perform- 
ance. This may be caused by the   
passenger  compartment  filter   
cartridge becoming clogged;
–  no  cold  air  is  being  produced.    
Check  that  the  controls  are  set   
correctly  and  that  the  fuses  are   
sound.  Otherwise,  switch  off  the   
system.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning   
off, air recirculation activated, venti- 
lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you   
may notice that condensation starts   
to  form  on  the  windows  and  wind - 
screen.
If  there  is  condensation,  use  the   
“clear View” function to remove it,   
then use the air conditioning in auto- 
matic mode to stop it forming again.   
If  the  condensation  does  not  clear,   
use the FAST programme.
Do  not  open  the  refriger - 
ant  fluid  circuit.   The  fluid  
may damage eyes or skin.
Note
Presence  of  water  under  the  ve - 
hicle. After prolonged use of the air   
conditioning system, it is normal for   
water  to  be  present  under  the  ve - 
hicle.  This  is  caused  by  condensa - 
tion.

is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
From the driver’s seat, use switch:

  2  for the front passenger side;
  3  and  5  for  the  rear  passenger  win-

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.

Safety of rear occupants
The  driver  can  disable  op -
eration  of  the  electric  win -
dows  and,  depending  on 
the  vehicle,  the  rear  doors,  by 
pressing  switch  4 .  The  indicator 
light  integrated  in  the  switch  lights 
up  to  confirm  that  the  locks  have 
been activated.
Driver’s responsibility
Never  leave  your  vehicle  with  the 
RENAULT  card  inside  and  never 
leave  a  child  (or  a  pet)  unsuper -
vised,  even  for  a  short  while.  They 
may pose a risk to themselves or to 
others  by  starting  the  engine,  acti -
vating  equipment  such  as  the  elec-
tric windows or by locking the doors. 
If  any  part  of  the  body  becomes 
trapped, reverse the direction of the 
window immediately by pressing the 
relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid  resting  any  objects  against 
a  half-open  window:  there  is  a  risk 
that  the  electric  window  could  be 
damaged.

The  battery  1   does  not  require  any 
maintenance.label A
Observe the indications on the battery:
– 2   naked  flames  and  smoking  forbid -
den;
– 3 eye protection required;
– 4 keep away from children;
– 5 explosive materials;
– 6 refer to the handbook;
– 7 corrosive materials.
Battery
The  battery  is  a  specific 
type ,  please  ensure  it  is 
replaced  with  the  same 
type.  Consult  an  approved 
dealer.
Handle the battery with care 
as it contains sulphuric acid, 
which  must  not  come  into 
contact with eyes or skin. If 
it does, wash the affected area with 
plenty  of  cold  water.  If  necessary, 
consult a doctor.
Ensure  that  naked  flames,  red  hot 
objects and sparks do not come into 
contact with the battery as there is a 
risk of explosion.
BA tteR y
Depending  on  the  vehicle,  a  system 
continuously checks the battery charge 
status.  If  the  level  drops,  the  message 
“Battery  low  start  engine ”  is  displayed 
on  the  instrument  panel.  In  this  case, 
start  the  engine.  Then  the  message 
“ Battery  charging ”  appears  on  the  in -
strument  panel  for  the  duration  of  the 
charging time.
The  charge  status  of  your  battery  can 
decrease especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
–  for short journeys;
–  for driving in town;
–  when the temperature drops;
–  after  extended  use  of  consumers 
(radio etc.) with the engine switched 
off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise 
you to contact an approved Dealer.
