WARNING:
While driving, using the cellular phone is ex-
tremely dangerous because it significantly im-
pairs your concentration and diminishes your
reaction capabilities to sudden changes on the
road, and it may lead to a fatal accident. This
applies to all phone call situations such as when
receiving an incoming call, during a phone
conversation, when calling through the phone
book search, etc.
CAUTION:
Certain country or region jurisdictions prohibit
the use of the cellular phone in the car without
hands-free support.
This chapter provides in\formation about the RENAULT
hands-\free phone system using a Bluetooth
Šconnec-
tion.
Bluetooth
Šis a wireless radio communication stan-
dard. This system o\f\fers a hands-\free \feature \for your
cellular phone to enhance driving com\fort.
In order to use your cellular phone with the Bluetooth
Š
o\f the audio system, the cellular phone must \first be set
up. Once it has been set up, the hands-\free mode is
automatically activated on the registered cellular phone
(via Bluetooth
Š) when it comes into range.
A noti\fication message appears on the audio display
when the phone is connected, when an incoming call
is being received, as well as when a call is initiated.
When a call is active, the audio system and
microphone (located near the map light) enable
hands-\free communication.
I\f the audio system is in use at the time, the radio, CD,
or AUX source mode will be muted and will stay muted
until the active call has ended.
The Bluetooth
Šsystem may not be able to connect
with your cellular phone \for the \following reasons:
. The cellular phone is too \far away \from the vehicle.
. The Bluetooth
Šmode on the cellular phone has
not been activated.
. The cellular phone has not been paired with the
Bluetooth
Šsystem o\f the audio unit.
. The cellular phone does not support Bluetooth Š
technology (BT Core v1.2, \bands Free Pro\file v1.0
and Object Push Pro\file v1.0) . NOTE:
For details, see the cellular phone’s owner’s
manual.
\bands-\free phone setup
To set up the Bluetooth Šsystem to pair with (connect
or register) a pre\ferred cellular phone, push the
button, select the Bluetooth Škey, and then push the
TUNE/MENU/ENTER dial. It is also possible to display
the set up menu directly by pushing the
button.
. Pair Device
Bluetooth
Šcellular phones can be paired with the
system. A maximum o\f 5 cellular phones can be
registered.
. Select Device
Paired Bluetooth
Šcellular phones are listed on the
display and can be selected \for connection.
. Delete Device
A registered Bluetooth
Šcellular phone can be
deleted.
. Bluetooth
I\f this setting is turned o\f\f, the connection between
the Bluetooth
Šdevices and the in-vehicle Blue-
tooth Šmodule will be cancelled.
When success\fully paired, a noti\fication message will
be displayed. During the connection the \following
status icons will be displayed (top le\ft o\f display):
Signal strength (
) , Battery status () and
Bluetooth Š().
*: I\f the low battery message comes on, the Bluetooth Š
device must be recharged soon.

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles\f , follow these
recommen\bations to obtain maximum engine perfor-
mance an\b ensure the future reliability an\b economy of
your new vehicle. Failure to follow these recommen\ba-
tions may result in shortene\b engine life an\b re\buce\b
engine performance.
.Do not \brive at a constant spee\b, either fast or
slow, for long perio\bs of time.
. Do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm (HR12 or
HR15 engine\f or 2,500 rpm (K9K engine\f .
. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
. Do not start quickly.
. Do not brake har\b as much as possible.WARNING:
The driving characteristics of your vehicle will
change remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution, as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer coupling, roof racks, etc.) .
Your driving style and speed must be adjusted
according to the circumstances. Especially when
carrying heavy loads, your speed must be
reduced adequately.
.Make sure the area aroun\b the vehicle is clear.
. Visually inspect tires for their appearance an\b
con\bition. Measure an\b check the tire pressure for
proper inflation.
. Check that all win\bows an\b lights are clean.
. A\bjust the seat an\b hea\b restraint positions.
. A\bjust the insi\be an\b outsi\be rearview mirror
positions.
. Fasten your seat belt an\b ask all passengers to \bo
the same.
. Check that all \boors are close\b.
. Check the operation of the warning lights when
the ignition switch is turne\b to the “ON” position.
. Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance an\b \bo-
it-yourself” section shoul\b be checke\b perio\bi-
cally.
WARNING:
.Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and
injure themselves. On hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal illness to people or
animals.
. Properly secure all luggage to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place lug-
gage higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden
stop or collision, unsecured luggage could
cause personal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxi\be\f
WARNING:
.Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all windows
fully open, and have the vehicle inspected
immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed spaces such
as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for an extended period of time.

5-4Starting and driving
.Keep the back door closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gas could be drawn into
the passenger compartment. If you must
drive with the back door open, follow these
precautions:
— Open all the windows.
— Turn the air recirculation mode off and
set the fan speed control to the highest
level to circulate the air.
. If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions must pass to a trailer through the seal
of the back door or the body, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
. If a special body or other equipment is
added for recreational or other usage, follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation to pre-
vent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may
also generate carbon monoxide.)
. The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever:
— Your vehicle is raised while being ser-
viced.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident involving damage to the exhaust system, under-
body, or rear of the vehicle.THREE-WAY CATALYST (gaso\fine engine
\bode\f)
WARNING:
. The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are
very hot. Keep people, animals and flam-
mable materials away from the exhaust
system components.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
wastepaper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.
The three-way cata\fyst is an e\bission contro\f device
insta\f\fed in the exhaust syste\b. Exhaust gas in the
three-way cata\fyst is burned at high te\bperatures to
he\fp reduce po\f\futants.
CAUTION:
. Do not use leaded gasoline. (See “Recom-
mended fuel/lubricants and capacities” (P.9-
2) .) Deposits from leaded gasoline seriously
reduce the ability of the three-way catalyst
to help reduce exhaust pollutants and/or
damage the three-way catalyst.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical
systems may cause overrich fuel to flow into
the three-way catalyst, causing it to over-
heat. Do not keep driving if the engine
misfires, or if noticeable loss of performance
or other unusual operating conditions are
detected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly by a RENAULT dealer.
. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the three-way
catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warming it up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the
engine.
