hazard warning lights do not flash.

NB: the vehicle cannot be locked again
for three seconds after unlocking after
pressing button 3.

“Hands-free” RENAULT CARD: use (3/3)

With the engine running, if after
having opened and closed a door the
card is no longer in the passenger compartment, the message Keycard not detected (accompanied by a beep when
the speed exceeds a certain level)
warns you that the card is no longer

SEAT BELTS (1/4)
Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.

Before starting, first adjust your driving position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving
position
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that
the rear seat belts will operate efficiently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.

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.

1.18

– 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 headrest. For the 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.

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 keeping bulky objects under the belts, etc.

SEAT BELTS (4/4)
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and
their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too
loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around
them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as
they show any signs of wear.
– When putting back the rear bench seat, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly secured.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

1.21

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, they will consist of:

– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.

– front seat belt inertia reel pretensioners;

– No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of
the system (pretensioners, air
bags, computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.

– chest-level load limiters;
– air bags for driver and front passenger.
These systems are designed to act independently or together when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner
(which engages to correct seat belt
slack);
– airbags.

Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus increasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
With the ignition on, following a significant frontal impact and depending on
the severity of the impact, the system
may trigger the seat belt inertia reel
pretensioner 1, which instantly retracts
the seat belt.

1.22

– To avoid incorrect triggering of
the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved Dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.
– The electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved Dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
air bag gas generators.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
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.

Airbags for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is indicated by the word “Air bag” on the
steering wheel and dashboard (air bag
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle,
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 monitoring which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;

warning light on the
– a single
instrument panel.

The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will generate 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, superficial grazing to the skin or other
problems.
1.23

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)

Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact
of the driver’s head and chest against
the steering wheel and of the front passenger against the dashboard. The air
bags then deflate immediately so that
the passengers are not in any way hindered from leaving the vehicle.

1.24

Operating faults

Warning light 4
will light up on
the instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then go out after a few
seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or comes on when the
engine is running, there is a fault in the
system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be reduced until this fault is rectified.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent
the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).
– When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting
your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In
general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).
– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure
the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS
THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)

1.25

Methods of restraint in addition to the rear side seat belts
Force 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.

– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatsoever
is permitted on any part of the
system (air bags, electronic control units, wiring) and the system
components must not be reused
on any other vehicle, even if identical.
– Only qualified personnel from
our Network may work on the air
bags; otherwise the system may
trigger accidentally and cause
injury.

1.26

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Side Airbags
This airbag may be fitted to each of the
front seats and is activated at the sides
of the seats (door side) to protect the
occupants in the event of a severe side
impact.

Warning relating to the side airbag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find out
if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may
affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.
– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the
door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly
or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal
fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, a marking on the windscreen informs you
of the presence of additional means
of restraint (air bags, pretensioners,
etc.) in the passenger compartment.

– This airbag operates through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never
insert any objects in these slits.

1.27

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent
the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when it inflates.
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of
the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are not always
triggered. Impacts to the underside of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the airbag system (airbags, pretensioners, computer,
wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified Network personnel.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,
only qualified Network personnel may work on the airbag system.
– As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or
broken into.
– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

1.28

Child safety: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehicle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.

To prevent the doors being
opened, use the “Child
safety” device (refer to the
information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).

Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.

A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a fourthfloor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

1.29

Child safety: General information (2/2)
Using a child seat

The level of protection offered by the
child seat depends on its ability to restrain your child and on its installation.
Incorrect installation compromises the
protection it offers the child in the event
of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check
that it complies with the regulations for
the country you are in and that it can
be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an approved dealer to find out which seats
are recommended for your vehicle.
Before fitting a child seat, read the
manual and respect its instructions. If
you experience any difficulties during
installation, contact the manufacturer
of the equipment. Keep the instructions
with the seat.

Set a good example by always fastening your seat belt and teaching
your child:
– to strap themselves in correctly;
– to always get in and out of the car
at the kerb, away from busy traffic.
Do not use a second-hand child
seat or one without an instruction
manual.
Check that there are no objects in
the vicinity of the child seat which
could impede its operation.
Never leave a child unattended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is
always strapped in and that
the belt or safety harness used is
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid
wearing bulky clothing which could
cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or
arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct
position for the entire journey, especially if asleep.

1.30

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 position 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-facing 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 or
buckle for as long as their size permits.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.w

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 seatback 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.

1.31

child safety: choosing a child/baby seat mounting (1/2)
There are two ways of attaching child
seats: via the seat belt or using the
ISOFIX system.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated
by the child seat manufacturer are respected.
Always check that the seat belt is correctly fastened by pulling it up, then
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by
moving it from side to side and back
to front: the seat should remain firmly
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been
installed at an angle and that it is not
resting against a window.

Do not use the child seat
if it may unfasten the seat
belt restraining it: the base
of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat
belt.

1.32

Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you purchased for another vehicle,
check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of vehicles which can be fitted with the
seat from the equipment manufacturer.

Attachment using the ISOFIX
system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are approved in accordance with regulation
ECE-R44 in one of the three following
cases:
– ISOFIXuniversal 3-point forward-facing seat;
– ISOFIXsemi-universal 2-point seat;
– specific.
For the latter two, check that your child
seat can be installed by consulting the
list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.

The seat belt must never
be twisted or the tension
relieved. Never pass the
shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate normally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.

The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings
and, in some cases, a third ring.

No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system
(seat belts, ISOFIX and
seats and their mountings) originally
fitted.

child safety: choosing a child/baby seat mounting (2/2)

3
The two rings 1 are located between
the seatback and the seat base of the
seat and are identified by a marking.

The third ring is used to attach the
upper strap on some child seats: attach
hook 4 (obligatory) to ring 3 for a rear
seat and ring 5 for a front seat, then pull
the strap.

The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child
seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat
belt or other objects to these anchorage points.
Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage
points checked and replace your child seat.

Check that the seatback
of the forward-facing child
seat is in contact with the
back of the vehicle seat.
In this case, the child seat may not
always rest on the base of the vehicle seat.

1.33

child safety: fitting a child seat (1/6)
Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagram on the following page shows you how to attach a
child seat.
The types of child seat indicated may
not be available. Before using a different child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted.

Ensure that the child seat
or the child’s feet do not
prevent the front seat from
locking correctly. Refer to
the information on the “Front seat”
in Section 1.
Check that when installing the child
seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of
coming loose from its base.
If you have to remove the headrest,
check that it is correctly stored so
that it does not come loose under
harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the
vehicle even if it is not in use so that
it does not come loose under harsh
braking or impact.

In the front seat
The laws concerning children travelling in the front passenger seat differ in
every country. Consult the legislation in
force and follow the indications on the
diagram on the following page.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if
authorised):
– lower the seat belt as far as possible;
– move the seat as far back as possible;
– gently tilt the seatback away from
vertical (approximately 25°);
– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat
base as far as possible.
Do not change these settings after the
child seat is installed.

In the rear side seat
A carrycot can be installed across the
vehicle and will take up at least two
seats. Position the child with his or her
feet nearest the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as
possible to install a rear-facing child
seat, then move back the seat in front
as far as it will go, although without allowing it to come into contact with the
child seat.
For the safety of the child in the forward-facing seat, do not move the seat
in front back past the middle of the
runner, do not tilt the seatback too far
(maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as
much as possible.
Check that the forward-facing child seat
is resting against the back of the vehicle seat and that the headrest of the vehicle is not obstructing its use.

RISK OF DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY: Before
installing a child seat on the
front passenger seat, check
that the airbag has been deactivated (please refer to “Child safety:
front passenger airbag deactivation
and activation” in Section 1).

Rear centre seat
Check that the belt is suitable for securing your child seat. Consult an approved dealer.

Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.

In freezing or snowy weather, ensure
they are not stuck to the windscreen
(including the central area located
behind the interior rear-view mirror)
and the rear screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor overheating).
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean
the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the windscreen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: approximately once a year.

at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be sufficient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. The cover A and its
surround must remain clean.
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives
which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of
fuel or disconnected spark plugs resulting in the engine misfiring or cutting out when driving;
– loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic converter to overheat and thus reduce its
efficiency, or damage it irreparably
and cause heat damage to the vehicle.

If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible by an approved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regularly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Service Booklet.

Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter, do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
keep trying to start the engine, but contact an approved Dealer.

Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible substances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.

2.9

Special features of diesel versions
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
If the message “Check anti-pollution
system” is displayed on the instrument

and
panel accompanied by the
© warning light; consult an approved dealer straight away.

Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully
charged,
– always keep the diesel tank relatively full to avoid water vapour condensing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.

When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.

Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before restarting the engine.

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 therefore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reprocessed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current antipollution regulations. The manufacturer is actively striving to reduce pollutant 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 maintained 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 downshift gears:

Š
‰

move up a gear;
move 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 manufacturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations.

Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in accordance 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 adjustment.
– spark plugs: for optimum fuel economy, 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 adjustment.
– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged element reduces performance. It must
be replaced.

2.14

Advice: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
Exhaust gas monitoring
system

– Brake as little as possible. If you anticipate an obstacle or bend in advance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– 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:

The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehicle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic substances may be released into the atmosphere or damage may occur.

This warning light on the instrument 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 possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.

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 stationary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the intermediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possible without labouring the engine.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.

Do not drive through floods
if the water is above the
lower edge of the wheel
rims.

Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats adapted to the vehicle that attach to the preinstalled parts, and regularly check
their mounting. Do not place several
mats on top of each other.
There is a risk of wedging the

Advice: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
– In vehicles fitted with air conditioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (especially in urban conditions) when
it is used. 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:

Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.

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.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– Favour ECO mode.
Refer to the
information on “Eco-driving”.

– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky objects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door
calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.

Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.

2.16

Environment
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 of
the manufacturer eco² signature.

Emissions

Manufacture

Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter prevents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).

Your vehicle has been manufactured at
a factory which complies with a policy
to reduce the environmental impact
on the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and energy consumption, visual
and noise pollution, atmospheric emissions and waste water; sorting and reusing waste).

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).

For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.

Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too
– Worn parts replaced in the course of
routine vehicle maintenance (vehicle battery, oil filter, air filter, batteries, 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 legislation.

Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been designed 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 resources, this vehicle incorporates numerous parts made from recycled plastics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).

2.17

driver correction devices and aids (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, this is composed of:
– anti-lock braking system (ABS);
– electronic stability control (ESC)
with understeer control and traction control (ASR);
– emergency brake assist;
– hill start assistance.

These functions are an additional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behaviour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).

2.18

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehicle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, particularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any
way improve the vehicle's physical performance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. It is still essential to
follow the rules of good driving practice
(such as driving at a safe distance from
the vehicle in front etc.).

In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modulate the force applied in the braking
system.

Operating faults:

In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.

Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.

driver correction devices and aids (2/4)
Electronic stability program
(ESC) with understeer control
and traction control (ASR)
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving conditions (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

flashes on the instrument panel.

Understeer control

Operating faults

This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced understeer (loss of front axle road holding).

When the system detects an operating fault the message “Check ESC” and

Traction control ASR
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the vehicle 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 automatically until the drive supplied becomes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.



appear

on the instrument panel. In this case,
the ESC and ASR are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the ASR function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheelspin.

The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.

2.19

driver correction devices and aids (3/4)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping distances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emergency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately develops maximum power and may trigger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.

Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden deceleration.
Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking manoeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be triggered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the
system will not be triggered.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating fault the message “Check braking system” appears on the instrument
panel along with the © warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.

2.20

driver correction devices and aids (4/4)
Hill start assistance
This function assists the driver when
starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle
from rolling backwards, depending on
the slope, by automatically applying the
brakes when the driver lifts his/her foot
off the brake pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.
System operation
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral (other
than N or P for automatic transmissions) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed)
The system holds the vehicle for approximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then gradually released (the vehicle will
move according to the slope).

The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all situations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling forwards or backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to immobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

The speed limiter function helps you
stay within the driving speed limit that
you choose, known as the limit speed.

Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Limit speed activation, storage and
increase switch (+).
3 Decreasing the limit speed (-).
4 Activation and recall of memorised
limit speed (R).
5 Speed limiter function standby (with
limited speed memory) (O).

2.22

Switching on

Press switch 1 on side  . Indicator
light 6 comes on, lit orange, and the
message “Speed limiter” appears on
the instrument panel, accompanied by
dashes to indicate that the speed limiter function is activated and waiting to
store a limit speed.
To store the current speed, press
switch 2 (+): the limit speed will replace
the dashes.
The minimum stored speed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (2/3)
Varying the limit speed

Exceeding the limit speed

The limit speed may be changed by repeatedly pressing:

It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any time. To do this: press the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (beyond
the resistance point).

– switch 2 (+) to increase speed;

– switch 3 (-) to reduce speed.

While the speed is being exceeded, the
programmed speed displayed on the
instrument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator: the
speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower than
the stored speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
limit speed: the stored speed will flash
on the instrument panel information display to inform you of this situation.

Driving
When a limited speed has been stored
and this speed is not reached, driving is
similar to driving a vehicle without the
speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored
speed, no effort on the accelerator pedal will allow you to exceed
the programmed speed except in an
emergency (refer to information on
“Exceeding the limit speed”).

The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the braking system.

2.23

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (3/3)

case a speed is no longer stored. The
orange instrument panel warning light
 goes out, confirming that the function is stopped.

The speed limiter function is suspended
when you press switch 5 (O). In this
case, the limit speed remains stored
and the message “MEMORISED” accompanied by this speed appears on
the instrument panel.

When the speed limiter is put on
standby, pressing switch 2 (+) reactivates the function without taking
into account the stored speed: it is
the speed at which the vehicle is
moving that is taken into account.

2.24

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (1/4)

2
1

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).

This function is an additional driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the driver’s responsibility 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 Cruising speed activation, storage
and increase switch (+).
3 Decreasing cruising speed (-).
4 Activation with recall of saved cruising speed (R).
5 Switch the function to standby (with

The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

2.27

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Returning to the cruising speed

Putting the function on
standby

If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road conditions are suitable (traffic, road surface, weather conditions, etc.). Press
switch 4 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled, activation of the cruise control is confirmed
by the illumination of the  warning
light.
NB: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.

– use the switch 5 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into
neutral if the vehicle has an automatic gearbox.

Standby is confirmed when indicator
light  goes out.

2.28

Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deactivated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The two instrument panel warning lights  and
 go out to confirm that the function is
deactivated.

The function is set to standby if you:

In all three cases, the cruising speed
remains stored and the message
“MEMORISED” appears on the instrument panel.

When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.

Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the
rear bumper (depending on the vehicle), measure the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing.
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 30 centimetres from the obstacle.
NB: make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).

NB: depending on the vehicle, screen 1
shows the vehicle surroundings alongside the beeps.

This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.

Operation
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approximately 1.20 metres from the rear of the
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds
and, depending on the vehicle, display 1 lights up.

Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibility 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 bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.

is deactivated.

Press switch 2 to deactivate the system.

Pressing the switch again will reactivate the system and switch off the indicator light.
Depending on the vehicle, you can deactivate the parking distance control
from the touch-screen. Please see the
equipment instructions for further information.

2.30

An impact to the underside
of the vehicle (e.g.: striking
a post, raised kerb or other
street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: deformation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer.

Reversing camera (1/2)
2

C
B
A

Operation

When reversing (and up to approximately five seconds after shifting to
another gear), a camera 1 on the tailgate transmits a view of the surroundings to the rear of the vehicle to a
touch-screen 2, accompanied by two
clearance gauges 3 and 4 (mobile and
fixed).
Note: make sure that the reversing
camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
Dynamic gauge 3 (depending on the
vehicle)
This is shown in blue on screen 2. It indicates the vehicle trajectory according
to the position of the steering wheel.

Fixed gauge 4
The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markers A, B and C, indicating the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centimetres from the vehicle;
– B (yellow) approximately 70 centimetres from the vehicle;
– C (green) approximately 150 centimetres from the vehicle.

This system is initially used with the aid
of several gauges (mobile for trajectory
and fixed for distance). When the red
zone is reached, use the bumper image
to stop accurately.
Note: depending on the vehicle, certain
parameters can be adjusted. Refer to
the handbook for the equipment.

This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.

2.31

Reversing camera (2/2)

The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation
projected onto flat ground; this information must not be taken into
account when superimposed on a
vertical object or an object on the
ground.
Objects which appear on the edge
of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in
sunshine etc.), the camera vision
may be adversely affected.
If the boot is open or poorly closed,
the message “BOOT OPEN” appears and, depending on the vehicle, the camera display disappears.

2.32

This function is an additional
aid. It cannot, therefore,
under any circumstances
replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always pay attention to sudden incidents during driving: always ensure that there are no
moving obstacles (such as a child,
animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small,
narrow objects such as stones or
posts in your path when manoeuvring.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Advice on use

Fuel consumption

Operating faults

In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, ventilation speed at zero or low, etc.) you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.

You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in town)
when the air conditioning is operating.

As a general rule, contact your approved dealer in the event of an operating fault.

For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.

– Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passenger compartment filter cartridge becoming clogged.

If there is condensation, use the “Clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again.

Advice for reducing consumption
and 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 Document
for your vehicle for the inspection frequency.

– No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.

Presence of water under the
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air conditioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.

Do not open the refrigerant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.

3.10

electric windows (1/2)
These systems operate with the ignition on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).

displayed on the instrument panel.
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 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.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level between oil changes.

B
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil

However, contact your approved
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km)
after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.

C
B
A

Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the vehicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is at
its minimum.

– remove the dipstick and wipe with a
clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will
go (for vehicles equipped with a captype dipstick C, screw the cap in as
far as it will go);
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall
below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been completed, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.

Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
The oil level should only be read with
the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.

Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any operation performed in the engine
compartment.
Under no circumstances
should maximum filling
level B be exceeded: this
could damage the engine
and the catalytic converter.
4.3

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up/filling (1/2)
1

Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is
started up for the first time in the day).

– Unscrew cap 1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the capacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on the dipstick 2
is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending on the engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the operation has been completed, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go and that
the cap is completely screwed in.

4.4

In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used

Risk of injury.

Bodywork maintenance (1/2)
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle regularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
– atmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather conditions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor precautions in order to safeguard your vehicle against such risks.

What you should not do

Do not degrease or clean mechanical components (e.g. the engine compartment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure cleaning equipment or by spraying on products not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor impacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paintwork.
Do not drive in snow or muddy conditions without washing the vehicle, particularly under the wheel arches and
body.

You should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off, with cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thoroughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and underneath the body which forms damp
patches;
– bird droppings, which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours paintwork and
may even cause the paint to peel
off;
wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is impossible to remove them by polishing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driving in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves,
etc.) from the vehicle regularly.

4.11

Bodywork maintenance (2/2)
Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your vehicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances
when driving on gravelled surfaces to
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas
where the paint has been damaged, to
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop periodically in order to maintain your
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechanical components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.

Vehicles with a matte paint
finish
This type of paint requires certain precautions.
Do not do the following
– use wax-based products (polishing);
– rub hard;
– wash the vehicle in a roller-type car
wash;
– wash the vehicle using a high-pressure device;
– attach stickers to the paintwork (risk
of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle
sponge.

Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to
the Park position (refer to the information on the “Windscreen washer, wiper”
in Section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional lights
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and refit
the antenna after washing.

Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alcohol must not be used.

We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufacturer’s accessory outlets.
4.12

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle regularly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim,
use cold (or warm) soapy water with
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, powdered products, alcohol-based products) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.

Glass instrument panel

(e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior
temperature display, radio display, etc.)
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean it properly, use a
soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly moistened with soapy water and then wipe
clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton
wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alcohol must not be used under any circumstances.

Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.

Textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or
pasty material immediately with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.

For further recommendations for
maintaining the interior, and/or for
any unsatisfactory results, please
see an authorised dealer.
4.13

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)
Removal/replacing removable
equipment originally fitted in
the vehicle
If you need to remove equipment in
order to clean the passenger compartment (for example, mats), always
ensure that they are correctly refitted
and are the right way around (the driver’s mat should be fitted on the driver’s
side, etc.) and fit them with the components supplied with the equipment (for
example, the driver mat should always
be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting
components).

You should not:
You are strongly advised not to position objects such as deodorants,
scents, etc. near air vents, as this could
damage your dashboard trim.

With the vehicle stationary, ensure that
nothing will impede driving (anything
obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by
the mat, etc.).

You are strongly recommended not to use highpressure or spray cleaning
equipment inside the passenger compartment: use of such
equipment could impair the correct
functioning of the electrical or electronic components in the vehicle, or
have other detrimental effects.

PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (1/4)
In case of puncture
Depending on the vehicle, a tyre inflation kit or emergency spare wheel is
provided (refer to the following pages).

If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it
checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the
other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, the vehicle’s
ground clearance is reduced.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identical to the original one.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the
driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wheel.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs.
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cornering.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle
and check the tyre pressure.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)
B

Do not attempt to use the
inflation kit if the tyre has
been damaged as a result
of driving with a puncture.

The kit is only approved for
inflating the tyres of the vehicle originally equipped
with the kit.

You should therefore carefully check
the condition of the tyre sidewalls
before any operation.

It must never be used to inflate
the tyres of another vehicle, or any
other inflatable object (rubber ring,
rubber boat, etc.).

Driving with underinflated, flat or
punctured tyres can be dangerous
and may make the tyre impossible
to repair.
This repair is temporary

The kit repairs tyres when
tread A has been damaged by objects smaller
than 4 mm. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts
larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre
sidewall B.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in
good condition.
Do not pull out the foreign body
causing the puncture if it is still in
the tyre.

5.6

A tyre which has been punctured
should always be inspected (and repaired, where possible) as soon as
possible by a specialist.
When taking a tyre which has been
repaired using this kit to be replaced,
you must inform the specialist.
When driving, vibration may be felt
due to the presence of the repair
product injected into the tyre.

Avoid spillage on skin when handling the repair liquid bottle. If droplets do leak out, rinse them off with
plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from children.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle
in the countryside. Return it to your
approved dealer or to a recycling organisation.
The bottle has a limited service
life which is indicated on its label.
Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to replace the inflation tube and repair
product bottle.

Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.

– connect the compressor hose 4 to
the container inlet 6;
– depending on the vehicle, connect
the container 6 to the compressor
from the container recess 7;
– unscrew the valve cap on the relevant wheel and screw on the container’s inflation adapter 2;
– adapter 3 must be connected to the
vehicle accessories socket;
– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information on “Tyre
pressure”);

– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 6).
NB: while the container is emptying (approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 3 will briefly indicate
a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pressure will then drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase, continue inflation with the kit; to reduce,
press button 1 located on the inflation adapter.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the vehicle but contact an approved dealer.

If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.

– Affix the driving recommendation
label to the dashboard where it can
easily be seen by the driver;
– Put the kit away.
– At the end of this initial inflation operation, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole.
– Start immediately and drive at between 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and
check the pressure.

Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the inflation adapter 2 to prevent any repair
product from escaping and store the
container in plastic packaging to prevent the product from escaping.

Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.

5.8

– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), readjust it. Otherwise, please contact an
authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be
repaired.

Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and may
lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.

Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addition, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.

traffic and on a level surface where it will not slip (if necessary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for automatic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.

If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.

To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.

5.11

CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)
Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on the
central hub and turn it to locate the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the
wheel is correctly positioned on its hub.
Lower the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten
the bolts fully and have the tightness
of the bolts checked (tightening torque:
105 N.m) and the emergency spare tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.

If you have a puncture, replace the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punctured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.

5.12

TYRES (1/3)
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between
the vehicle and the road, so it is essential to keep them in good condition.

You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road traffic regulations.

When the tyre tread has been worn
to the level of the warning strips, they
become visible 2: it is then necessary to replace your tyres because the
tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep
at most, resulting in poor road holding on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys
by motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on poorly
surfaced minor roads will lead to more
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

Maintaining the tyres

When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your approved
dealer.

The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have wear warning strips
1 which are indicators moulded into
the tread at several points.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the
kerb, may damage the tyres
and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the
front or rear axle geometry. In this
case, have the condition of these
checked by an approved dealer.

5.13

TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and instructions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.

Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.

Fitting new tyres
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:

For safety reasons, this operation must be carried out
by a specialist.

– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separation.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the conditions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).

5.14

Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.

– it may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regulations;
– it may change the way it handles
when cornering;

WEIGHTS (in kg)
The weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary depending on the your vehicle’s equipment. Consult
your approved Dealer.
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMTA)
Gross Train Weight (MTR)
Braked Trailer Weight*

Weights are indicated on the vehicle identification plate (refer to
the information on “Vehicle identification plates” in Section 6)
found by calculating: MTR - MMAC

Unbraked Trailer Weight*

525

Permissible nose weight*

Maximum permissible load on roof

80 kg (including the carrying device)

* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the MTR - MMAC calculation is equal to zero, or when the MTR is equal to zero (or is not listed) on
the identification plate.
– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in
the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded. However the following is
permitted:
– rear axle MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%,
– maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reached first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressures must
be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by
10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.
Weight transfer (except utility version)
Depending on the local legislation, if the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 300 kg can be
transferred to the braked trailer, within the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
