Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.
Anti-submarining air bag
Located on each of the front seats, it
deploys in order to prevent the occu -
pant from sliding under the seat belt.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
Depending on the vehicle, the pres -
ence of this equipment is indicated
by the word “Airbag” on the steering
wheel, dashboard (air bag zone A) and
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor-
ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– remote sensors;
– a single warning light
å on the
instrument panel.
A
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener -
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
In a situation where an air bag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other
problems.

Environment
ENVIRONMENT
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)
while in use, and therefore to consume
less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to
5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a cata -
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter pre -
vents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).
Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too.
– Worn parts replaced in the course of
routine vehicle maintenance (vehi -
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter -
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations.
– At the end of the vehicle’s service
life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis -
lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re -
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu -
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the
environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the
Renault eco² group signature.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
an industrial site which uses a progress
policy to reduce environmental impacts
on rivers and natural areas (reduc -
tion of water and energy consumption,
visual and noise pollution, atmospheric
emissions and waste water, sorting and
reusing waste).

This system monitors the tyre pressure.
Depending on the vehicle, the infor -
mation is displayed on the instrument
panel. In this case, they appear:
– with the ignition on, when scrolling
through the trip computer and warn-
ing system information by pressing
control 3 (refer to the information
on the “trip computer and warning
system” in Section 1);
– or if there is a fault when driving
(refer to the following pages to find
out more about the warning mes -
sages).
Tyre pressure monitor
This function is an addi -
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig -
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
TyRE PRESSURE MONITOR (1/3)
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure.
The system informs the driver via the
display 1 and trip computer and warn -
ing system 2 that the tyres are suf -
ficiently inflated and warns if they are
underinflated or leaking.
The tyre pressure can be adjusted
when cold (refer to the information on
“Tyre pressures”).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom -
mended pressures must be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Changing a wheel
If you wish to change your wheels (fit-
ting winter tyres etc.), the system will
reset itself automatically after approx -
imately two minutes driving at a mini -
mum speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).

Changing a wheel
The system may take sev -
eral minutes depending on
use for the new wheel po -
sitions and pressures to be recog -
nised; check the tyre pressures after
all operations.

Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip -

Contact an approved dealer to replace
the tyres and to find out about avail -

system: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the
system or damage a sensor.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (2/4)
Electronic stability program
(E.S.P.) with understeer
control and traction control
(A.S.R.)
Electronic stability program (E.S.P.)
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi -
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
ù flashes on the instrument panel. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of
the E.S.P. in the case of pronounced
understeering (loss of front axle road
holding).
Traction control (A.S.R.)
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au
-
tomatically until the drive supplied be -
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal. Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “Check ESP” and the
indicator light
© appears on the in-
strument panel. In this case, the E.S.P.
and A.S.R. are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

Parking distance control
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil -
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the
front or rear bumper depending on the
vehicle, measure the distance between
the vehicle and an obstacle whilst re -
versing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 25 centi -
metres from the obstacle.
PARkING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/3)
Front parking distance
control
(depending on vehicle)
Operation
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 approx -
imately 60 centimetres away from the
front of the vehicle are detected and a
beep is emitted.
Automatic activation/deactivation of
the front parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the electronic parking brake is
applied;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
– when the vehicle is stationary for
more than approximately five sec -
onds and an obstacle is detected
(such as when in a traffic jam etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or
when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes;
