back pocket of a garment.

Replacement: need for an

additional RENAULT Card

If you lose your RENAULT card or

require another, you can obtain one

from an approved dealer.

If a RENAULT card is replaced, it

will be necessary to take the vehi-

cle and all of its RENAULT cards

the system.

You may use up to four RENAULT

cards per vehicle.

1.4

REMOTE CONTROL RENAULT CARD: use

Unlocking the doors and

tailgate

Press button 1.

The hazard warning lights flash once

to indicate that the doors have been un-

locked.

When unlocking is only active for the

driver’s door, (refer to the information

on the “vehicle settings customisation

menu” in Section 1):

– pressing button 1 unlocks only the

driver’s door and the fuel filler flap;

– pressing button 1 twice unlocks all

the doors and the tailgate.

Locking the doors and

luggage compartment

Press the locking button 2. The hazard

warning lights flash twice to indicate

that the doors have locked. If a door

or the luggage compartment is open

or not properly shut, or if a RENAULT

card is still in the reader, the doors and

luggage compartment lock then quickly

unlock and the hazard warning lights

do not flash.

Unlocking/locking the

luggage compartment only

Press button 4 to unlock/lock the lug-

gage compartment.

RENAULT card not detected

alarm

If you open a door while the engine

is running and the card is not in the

reader, the message “Keycard not de-

tected” and a beep will warn you. The

warning disappears when the card is in-

serted in the reader again.

Distance lighting function

The dipped beam headlights, indicator

lights and interior lights come on for ap-

proximately 30 seconds when button 3

is pressed. This can be used, for exam-

ple, to identify the vehicle from a dis-

tance when parked in a car park.

Note: pressing button 3 again switches

off the lighting.

The card buttons are deactivated

when the engine is running.

The flashing status of the hazard

warning lights informs you of the ve-

hicle status:

– one flash indicates that the vehi-

cle is completely unlocked;

– two flashes indicate that the ve-

hicle is completely locked.

If the vehicle has been unlocked

but neither the doors or tailgate are

open, it locks again automatically

after two minutes.

1.5

RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: use (1/3)

After unlocking the vehicle or the

boot only using the buttons of the

RENAULT card, remote locking and

unlocking in hands-free mode are

deactivated.

To reactivate the hands-free mode:

restart the vehicle.

Use

On equipped vehicles, in addition to

the functions of the above-mentioned

remote control RENAULT card, it can

be used to lock/unlock without using

the RENAULT card, when it is in access

zone 1.

Recommendations

Do not store the RENAULT card

anywhere it may come into con-

tact with other electronic equipment

(computer, PDA, phone, etc.) as this

could hinder its operation.

Unlocking the vehicle

RENAULT card in area 1, press the 3

button: the vehicle will unlock.

In some cases (leaving the vehicle

parked for several days, for example),

you may need to pull handle 2 twice to

unlock the vehicle and open the door.

Pressing the button 4 also unlocks all

the doors and the tailgate.

The hazard warning lights flash once

to indicate that the doors have been un-

locked.

1.6

RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: use (2/3)

Locking the vehicle

There are three ways to lock the ve-

hicle: remotely, using the button 3, or

using the RENAULT card.

Remote locking

With the RENAULT card on you, and

doors and tailgate closed, move away

from the vehicle: it will lock automati-

cally once you have left zone 1.

Note: the distance at which the vehicle

locks depends on the surroundings.

The hazard warning lights flash twice

and a beep sounds to indicate that the

doors have locked.

The beep may be switched off. Please

contact an authorised dealer.

If a door or the tailgate is open or not

properly shut, or a card is in the passen-

ger compartment (or the card reader)

the vehicle will not lock. In this situa-

tion, no beep sounds and the hazard

warning lights do not flash.

Locking using the button 3

With the doors and boot closed, press

the button 3 on a door handle of the ve-

hicle: the vehicle will lock. If a door or

the boot is open or not closed properly,

the vehicle will quickly lock/unlock.

Note: a RENAULT card must be within

the vehicle's access zone (zone 1) to

be able to lock the vehicle using the

button.

Special note

If you wish to check that the doors are

locked after locking using the button 3,

you have approximately three seconds

to try the door handles without unlock-

ing them.

After this delay, the hands-free mode

is activated once again and any move-

ment of a handle will unlock the vehicle.

If the vehicle is fitted with remote window closing, two quick presses on the button 3 automatically causes all the windows to

close and the doors to lock (please see the information on “Electric windows, Electric sunroof” in Section 3).

1.7

With the engine running, if having

once opened and closed a door, the

card is no longer in the passenger com-

partment, the message “Keycard not

detected” (accompanied by a warning

beep once the speed passes a thresh-

old value) will tell you that the card is no

longer in the vehicle. This avoids you

driving away after having dropped off a

passenger who has the card, for exam-

ple.

The warning disappears when the card

is detected again.

RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: use (3/3)

Locking using the RENAULT card

With the doors and luggage compart-

ment closed, press button 5: the vehi-

cle will lock.

The hazard warning lights flash twice

to indicate that the doors have locked.

Note: the maximum distance at which

the vehicle locks depends on the sur-

roundings.

Special features

The vehicle will not lock if:

– a door or the tailgate is open or not

properly closed;

– a card is still in zone 6 (or in the card

reader) and no other card is in the

external detection zone.

After locking/unlocking the vehicle

or the luggage compartment only

using the buttons on the RENAULT

card, remote locking and unlocking

in hands-free mode are deactivated.

To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:

restart the vehicle.

1.8

To deactivate deadlocking

Unlock the vehicle using button 1 on

the RENAULT card.

The hazard warning lights flash once to

indicate that the doors have been un-

locked.

Never use deadlocking if

someone is still inside the

vehicle.

To activate deadlocking

You can choose between two deadlock- -

ing activation modes:

– press button 2 twice in quick succes-

sion;

– or, press twice in quick succession

on the button 3 of the handle on one

of the vehicle’s doors.

The hazard warning lights flash five

times to indicate locking.

If the vehicle is equipped with a dead-

locking function, this allows you to lock

the opening elements and to prevent

the doors from being unlocked using

the interior handles (for example, by

breaking the window and then trying to

open the door from the inside).

RENAULT CARD: deadlocking

Activating deadlocking also re-

motely closes the windows and/or

the electric sunroof, on equipped

vehicles.

After activating the deadlocking

function using button 2, remote

locking and unlocking in hands-free

mode are deactivated.

To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:

restart the vehicle.

1.9

OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOORS (1/2)

Opening from the inside

Pull the handle 3.

Lights-on reminder buzzer

If you have switched off the ignition

and left the lights switched on, a re-

minder buzzer will sound when a door

is opened.

Card reminder buzzer

On opening the driver’s door, if the

card is still in the reader, the message

“Please remove keycard” is displayed

on the instrument panel accompanied

by a warning beep.

Door/tailgate open buzzer

If an opening element (door or boot) is

open or not properly closed, as soon as

the vehicle reaches a speed of approxi-

mately 6 mph (10 km/h), the message

“Boot open” or “Door open” (depend-

ing on which is open) will appear on the

instrument panel accompanied by a

warning light.

Special note

After switching off the engine, the lights

and any accessories that are in opera-

tion (radio, etc.) will continue to oper-

ate.

They stop as soon as the driver’s door

is opened.

As a safety precaution,

the doors should only be

opened or closed when the

vehicle is stationary.

OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOORS (2/2)

Child safety

To make it impossible for the rear doors

to be opened from the inside, move

lever 4 on each door and check from

the inside that the doors are securely

locked.

Driver’s responsibility

when parking or stopping

the vehicle

Never leave an animal,

child or adult who is not self-suffi-

cient alone on your vehicle, even for

a short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves

or to others by starting the engine,

activating equipment such as the

electric windows or locking the

doors.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,

please remember that the tempera-

ture inside the passenger compart-

ment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS

INJURY.

1.11

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (1/2)

Locking/Unlocking the doors

from the outside

This is done using the RENAULT Card;

see the “RENAULT Card” information in

Section 1.

In certain cases, the RENAULT card

may not work:

– if the RENAULT card battery is weak,

flat, etc.

– if equipment operating on the same

frequency as the card (mobile

phones, etc.) is used;

– vehicle located in a high electromag-

netic radiation zone.

It is then possible:

– to use the key integrated into the

card to unlock the front left-hand

door;

– to lock each of the doors manually;

– to use the interior door locking/un-

locking control (refer to the following

pages).

Using the key integrated in

the RENAULT card

– Remove cover A from the left-hand

door (using the end of key 2) in

notch 1;

– move it upwards to remove cover A;

– insert the key 2 into the lock of the

front left-hand door and lock or

unlock.

Locking the doors manually

Turn screw 3 with the door open (using

the end of the key) and close the door.

This means that the doors are then

locked from the outside.

The doors may then only be opened

from the inside or by using the key in

the front left-hand door.

1.12

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (2/2)

Interior locking/unlocking

door control

Switch 4 controls the doors, tailgate

and, depending on the vehicle, the fuel

filler flap simultaneously.

If a door or the tailgate is open or not

closed properly, the doors and tailgate

lock/unlock quickly.

If transporting an object with the tail-

gate open, you can still lock the doors:

with the engine stopped, press and

hold switch 4 for more than five sec-

onds to lock the other doors.

Locking the doors without

the RENAULT card

For example, in the event of a dis-

charged battery or the RENAULT card

temporarily not working, etc.

With the engine switched off and a

door or tailgate open, press and hold

switch 4 for more than five seconds.

When the door is closed, all the doors

and the tailgate will be locked.

Unlocking the vehicle from the outside

is only possible with the RENAULT card

in the vehicle's access zone or using

the key integrated in the RENAULT

card.

Door and tailgate status

indicator

When the ignition is on, the indicator

light integrated in switch 4 informs you

of the status of the doors and tailgate:

– indicator light on, the doors and tail-

gate are locked,

– indicator light off, the doors and tail-

gate are unlocked.

When you lock the doors, the indicator

light remains lit and then goes out.

Never leave your vehicle

with the RENAULT card

inside.

After locking/unlocking the vehicle

or the tailgate only using the but-

tons on the RENAULT card, remote

locking and unlocking in hands-free

mode are deactivated.

To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:

restart the vehicle.

Driver’s responsibility

If you decide to keep the

doors locked when you are

driving, remember that it

may be more difficult for those as-

sisting you to gain access to the

passenger compartment in the

event of an emergency.

1.13

Activating/deactivating the

function

Refer to “Vehicle settings customisation

menu” in Section 1, regarding the “Auto

door locking while driving” function:

= function activated

< function deactivated.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING

You can decide whether you want to

activate this function.

Operating principle

After the vehicle is started, the system

automatically locks the doors when

you are driving at approximately 6 mph

(10 km/h) and over.

The door can be unlocked:

– by pressing the door unlocking

button 1.

– by opening a front door (vehicle sta-

tionary).

Note: if a door is opened or closed,

it will automatically lock again when

the vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph

(10 km/h).

Operating faults

If you experience an operating fault (no

automatic locking, the indicator light in-

corporated in button 1 does not light up

when trying to lock the doors and tail-

gate, etc.), firstly check that the doors

and tailgate are properly closed. If they

are closed correctly, contact an ap-

proved dealer.

Driver’s responsibility

If you decide to keep the

doors locked when you are

driving, remember that it

may be more difficult for those as-

sisting you to gain access to the

passenger compartment in the

event of an emergency.

1.14

FRONT HEADRESTS

To raise the headrest

Pull the headrest upwards to the de-

sired height.

To lower the headrest

Press button 2 and guide the headrest

down to the desired height.

To adjust the angle of the

headrest

Depending on the vehicle, tilt section A

towards or away from you to the re-

quired position.

To remove the headrest

Raise the headrest to its highest po-

sition (tilt the seatback backwards if

necessary). Press button 1 and lift the

headrest to release it.

To refit the headrest

Pull out the headrest rods 3 as far as

possible by pulling from the top. Take

care to ensure they are clean and cor-

rectly aligned and, if there are any prob-

lems, check that the notches are facing

forwards.

Insert the headrest rods into the holes

(tilt the seatback backwards if neces-

sary).

Lower the headrest until it locks, press

button 1 and lower the headrest as far

as possible.

Check that each headrest rod 3 is se-

curely locked in the seatback by trying

to pull them up or push them down.

The headrest is an impor-

tant safety component:

ensure that it is in place and

in the correct position. The

distance between your head and the

headrest and the distance between

the head and section A should be

as small as possible.

The three upper positions can

be manipulated without pressing

button 2. However, it is preferable to

press this button to lower the head-

rest.

1.15

REAR HEADRESTS

Position for use

Raise or lower the headrest while pull-

ing it towards the front of the vehicle.

To remove the headrest

Press tabs A of rods 1 and 2 simultane-

ously and remove the headrest.

Note: on the three door version, first

lower the bench seatback (refer to the

information on the “Rear seat functions”

in Section 3).

To refit the headrest

Insert the headrest rods into the

sleeves, and lower the headrest to the

first notch.

Storage position

Lower the headrest as far as possi-

ble, then press tab 2 and lower it com-

pletely.

When the headrest is set at the

lowest position (position B) this is

for storage only: it should not be in

this position when a seat is occupied.

The headrest is a safety

component. Ensure that it is

fitted and in the correct po-

sition: the top of your head

should be in line with the top of the

headrest.

1.16

FRONT SEATS WITH MANUAL CONTROL (1/2)

To move the seat forwards or

back

Lift handle 1 to release. Release the

handle once the seat is in the correct

position and ensure that the seat is fully

locked into position.

To raise or lower the seat

base

Move lever 2 as many times as neces-

sary upwards or downwards.

To tilt the seatback

Turn control knob 3 to the required po-

sition.

Heated seats

(depending on vehicle)

With the engine running, turn control 4

to either position I, II or III (depending

on the temperature required). The

message "Heated seat activated» will

appear on the instrument panel once

one of the front seat heating systems

is operating.

The system, which has a thermostat,

decides whether or not the heating is

needed, according to the position se-

lected.

For safety reasons, carry

out any adjustments when

the vehicle is not being

driven.

We would advise you not to recline

the seatbacks too far to ensure that

the effectiveness of the seat belts is

not reduced.

Nothing should be placed on the

floor (area in front of driver) as such

objects may slide under the pedal

during braking manoeuvres, thus

obstructing its use.

Depending on the vehicle, the passen-

ger seatback may be folded down onto

the seat base to create a table.

Lower the headrest, move the seat

back, tilt handle 6 and completely lower

the seatback.

For your safety, attach any

transported objects when

the seat is in the table po-

sition.

FRONT SEATS WITH MANUAL CONTROL (2/2)

To adjust the lumbar support

on the driver’s seat

Lower handle 5 to increase the support

and lift to decrease it.

When the front seat is in

table position, the front pas-

senger air bag must be di-

sabled (see information on

“Child safety: activating/deactiva-

ting the front passenger air bag” in

Section 1).

Risk of serious injury caused by

items resting on the seatback table

which may be dislodged when the

air bag is deployed.

The label (on the dashboard) and

the markings (on the windscreen)

remind you of these instructions.

1.18

Heated seats

(depending on vehicle)

With the engine running, turn control 2

to position 1, 2 or 3 (according to the

desired temperature).

The message “Heated seat activated”

will appear on the instrument panel

once the front seat heating system is

operating.

The system, which has a thermostat,

decides whether or not the heating is

needed, according to the position se-

lected.

For safety reasons, carry

out any adjustments when

the vehicle is not being

driven.

We would advise you not

to recline the seatbacks too

far to ensure that the effec-

tiveness of the seat belts is

not reduced.

Nothing should be placed on the

floor (area in front of driver) as such

objects may slide under the pedal

during braking manoeuvres, thus

obstructing its use.

Switch 3 is used for adjusting the seat-

back and switch 4 is used for adjusting

the seat squab.

On equipped vehicles, buttons 1 are

used to store the chosen driving posi-

tion (refer to the following page).

Adjusting the seat squab:

– To move the seat forwards or back

Move switch 4 forwards or back-

wards.

– To raise or lower the seat base

Move the switch 4 upwards or down-

wards.

Adjusting the lumbar support

on the driver’s seat:

Lower handle 5 to increase the support

and lift to decrease it.

Adjusting the seatback:

To tilt the seatback, move the top of

switch 3 forwards or backwards.

FRONT SEATS WITH ELECTRIC CONTROL

1.19

FRONT SEATS WITH ELECTRIC CONTROL WITH STORAGE OF SETTINGS

It is possible to store three driving po-

sitions.

A driving position includes the settings

for the seat base and seatback of the

driver’s seat.

The system operates:

– with the “hands-free” card de-

tected or, depending on the vehicle,

RENAULT card in the card reader;

– when the driver’s door is opened.

Storing your driving position

– Adjust the seat using switches 4

and 5 (see previous page);

– press one of buttons 1, 2 or 3 until a

beep is heard: the driving position is

stored;

– to store other driving positions repeat

this procedure with the other but-

tons.

Recalling a stored driving

position

With the vehicle stationary, briefly

press button 1, 2 or 3 depending on the

required stored driving position.

Note: recall of the stored driving po-

sition is interrupted if one of the seat

adjustment buttons is pressed during

recall.

When driving, it is not possible to

recall a driving position.

We would advise you not

to recline the seatbacks too

far to ensure that the effec-

tiveness of the seat belts is

not reduced.

Nothing should be placed on the

floor (area in front of driver) as such

objects may slide under the pedal

during braking manoeuvres, thus

obstructing its use.

For safety reasons, carry

out any adjustments when

the vehicle is not being

driven.

1.20

Electrically controlled seats

Lift handle 1 and tilt the seatback com-

pletely: the seat moves forward.

To return the seat to its original position,

bring the seatback back up. The seat

returns to its original position.

ACCESS TO REAR SEATS, THREE-DOOR VERSION

Manually controlled seats

Lift handle 1 and slide the seat forward.

To return the seat to its original position,

bring the seatback back into position.

Check that no object or

person prevents the front

seat from locking. If so,

remove any obstacles

behind the front seats. Adjust the

seat to allow sufficient room in the

rear. The rear occupants/objects

should then return to the vehicle.

Repeat the above until the seat is

locked correctly.

Risk of seat moving on its runners

during vehicle acceleration or brak-

ing.

Do not move handle 1 and handle 2

or switch 4 at the same time.

Locking the seats

When a person, an object or a child

seat prevents the front seats from lock-

ing, perform the following operations:

– ask all of the passengers to leave

the vehicle and remove any bulky

objects from the rear seats;

– lock the seat(s) in the initial position

again;

– move the seat(s) forwards in order to

create sufficient space;

– ask the passengers to get back into

the vehicle, and refit the child seat or

objects on the rear seats.

Special note: if the seatback is

tilted over the rear bench seat, only

use control 3 to return it to the driv-

ing position.

Never use handle 1 as it is not de-

signed for this purpose: there is a

risk of damage to the mechanism.

1.21

Always wear your seat belt when trav-

elling in your vehicle. You must also

comply with the legislation of the par-

ticular country you are in.

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.

Before starting, first adjust your driv-

ing position, then ask all occupants

to adjust their seat belts to ensure

optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving

position

– 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 head-

rest. For 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 keep-

ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

SEAT BELTS (1/3)

Make sure that the rear bench seat

is locked in position correctly so that

the rear seat belts will operate effi-

ciently. Refer to the information on

the “Rear bench seat” in Section 3.

1.22

SEAT BELTS (2/3)

Adjusting the front seat belt

height

(depending on vehicle)

Press button 5 to adjust the seat belt

height so that shoulder strap 1 is worn

as shown previously:

– to lower the seat belt, press button 5

and lower the seat belt at the same

time;

– to raise the seat belt, press button 5

and raise the seat belt at the same

time.

Make sure that the seat belt is locked

in position correctly after you have ad-

justed it.

Locking

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly

and ensure that buckle 3 locks into

catch 4 (check that it is locked by pull-

ing on buckle 3). If the belt jams, allow

it to return slightly before attempting to

unwind it again.

If your seat belt is completely jammed,

pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over

3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly

before attempting to unwind it again.

If there is still a problem, contact an ap-

proved dealer.

Front seat belt reminder

warning light

This lights up on the central display

when the engine is started then, if the

driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt

(if this seat is occupied) is not fastened

and the vehicle has reached approxi-

mately 12 mph (20 km/h), it flashes and

a bleep sounds for around 2 minutes.

Note: an object placed on the passen-

ger seat base may activate the warning

light in some cases.

Rear seat belt reminder (depending

on vehicle)

the

ß warning light on the cen-

tral display lights up accompanied by a

message on the instrument panel indi-

cating the number of seat belts buck-

led for approximately 30 seconds each

time:

– the vehicle is started;

– a door is opened;

– a rear seat belt is fastened or unfas-

tened.

Check that the rear passengers are

wearing seat belts and that the number

of seat belt shown as fastened corre-

sponds to the number of rear bench

seat places occupied.

1.23

SEAT BELTS (3/3)

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

Unfastening

Press button 6 and the seat belt will be

rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the

belt.

Note: when driving, if a rear seat belt

is unbuckled, the message “Rear seat

belt unbuckled” appears on the instru-

ment panel.

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally

fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their mountings. For special op-

erations (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.

– 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.

– When repositioning the rear bench seat, make sure that the seat belt is cor-

rectly positioned so that it can be used properly.

– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden

away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

1.24

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)

Depending on the vehicle, they are

composed of:

– seat belt inertia reel pretension-

ers;

– lap belt pretensioners;

– chest-level load limiters;

– anti-submarining air bags;

– air bags for driver and front pas-

senger.

These systems are designed to act in-

dependently or together when the vehi-

cle 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);

– the low volume front air bag;

– the lap seat belt pretensioners to

hold the occupant in his seat;

– the large volume front air bag.

Pretensioners

The pretensioners hold the seat belt

against the body, holding the occupant

more securely against the seat, thus in-

creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.

In the event of a severe frontal impact

and if the ignition is switched on, the

system may engage the following de-

pending on the force of the impact:

– seat belt inertia reel pretensioner 1

which instantly retracts the seat belt;

– the lap pretensioner 2 on the front

seats.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– No operation whatso-

ever 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.

– 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.

1.25

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.

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.

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.

1.26

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 the front pas-

senger against the dashboard. The air

bags then deflate immediately so that

the passengers are not in any way hin-

dered from leaving the vehicle.

Special feature of the front air

bag

After a violent impact, it has two deploy-

ment volumes and integrates a ventila-

tion system:

– small volume air bag, this is the first

stage of operation;

– large volume air bag, the air bag

seams rip so that a larger volume of

gas is released into the bag (for the

most severe impacts).

1.27

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

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)

Warnings concerning the anti-submarining air bag

Do not let a child under the age of 12 sit in this seat. When triggered, the anti-submarining air bag may project objects left on

the seat base with a great deal of force.

Risk of serious injury.

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.

1.28

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR 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 con-

trol units, wiring) and the system

components must not be reused

on any other vehicle, even if iden-

tical.

– Only qualified personnel from

our Network may work on the air

bags; otherwise the system may

trigger accidentally and cause

injury.

1.29

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Warnings concerning the side air bag

– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag 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 air bags 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 air bag 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.

– The area between the rear bench seatback and the trim is the area of air bag

operation: no objects must be placed here.

Side air bags

These air bags are fitted to the front

seats and are activated at the sides of

the seats (door side) to protect the oc-

cupants in the event of a severe side

impact.

Curtain air bags

These are air bags fitted along the sides

of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger

along the front and rear side windows

to protect the passengers in case of a

severe side impact.

1.30

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

The air bag 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 air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always

possible with air bags.

If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-

tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Shocks to the underbody 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 air

bag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except

by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental trig-

gering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel

may work on the air bag system.

– As a safety precaution, have the air bag 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 driver’s handbook with the vehicle.

– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal of the

gas generator(s).

Operating faults

Warning light 1 will light up on the in-

strument panel when the ignition is

switched on and then go out after a few

seconds.

If it does not come on when the ignition

is switched on, or if it comes on when

the engine is running, there is a fault

with the system (air bags, pretension-

ers, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats.

Contact your approved dealer as soon

as possible. Your protection will be re-

duced until this fault is rectified.

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.

1.31

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 vehi-

cle 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 fin-

ished growing. The seat belt alone

would not provide suitable protection.

Use an approved child seat and ensure

you use it correctly.

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 equi-

valent of allowing him or her to play

on a fourth-floor 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.

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-suffi-

cient alone on your vehicle, even for

a short time.

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 tempera-

ture inside the passenger compart-

ment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS

INJURY.

1.32

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

Using a child seat

The level of protection offered by the

child seat depends on its ability to re-

strain 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 ap-

proved 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 fas-

tening 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 traf-

fic.

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 unat-

tended 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, espe-

cially if asleep.

1.33

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 po-

sition 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-fac-

ing 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 for

as long as their size permits.

Choose a bucket type seat for optimum

side protection.

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 seat-

back 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.

1.34

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child 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 re-

spected.

Always check that the seat belt is cor-

rectly 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.

Attachment using the ISOFIX

system

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-

proved in accordance with regulation

ECE-R44 in one of the three following

scenarios:

– ISOFIX universal 3-point forward-

facing seat

– ISOFIX semi-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 ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings

and, in some cases, a third ring.

Before using an ISOFIX

child seat that you pur-

chased for another vehicle,

check that its installation is

authorised. Consult the list of ve-

hicles which can be fitted with the

seat from the equipment manufac-

turer.

No modifications may be

made to the component

parts of the restraint system

(seat belts, ISOFIX, seats

and their mountings) originally fitted.

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 pro-

tect the child. Please consult an au-

thorised dealer. Do not use this seat

until the seat belt has been repaired.

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.

1.35

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (2/2)

The ISOFIX anchorage

points have been exclu-

sively 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 re-

place your child seat.

The third ring is used to attach the

upper strap on some child seats.

Pass the belt between the seatback

and the rear parcel shelf (to remove

the parcel shelf: refer to Section 3

“Parcel shelf”). Fix the hook on one of

the rings 3 located in the luggage com-

partment (visible for three- and five-

door versions; under the carpet and

indicated with a marking on the Sport

tourer version).

Pull the belt so that the back of the child

seat comes into contact with the vehicle

seatback.

The two rings 1 are located between

the seatback and the seat base, behind

the zip fasteners, and are identified by

a marking.

To ensure your child seat can be easily

fitted and locked on the rings 1, use

access guides 2 on the child seat.

1.36

Some seats are not suitable for fitting

child seats. The diagram on the follow-

ing page shows you how to attach a

child seat.

The types of child seats indicated may

not be available. Before using a differ-

ent child seat, check with the manufac-

turer that it can be fitted.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/12)

In the front seat

The laws concerning children travel-

ling 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 possi-

ble;

– gently tilt the seatback away from

vertical (approximately 25°);

– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat

base as far as possible.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: before

fitting a rear-facing child

seat in this position, check

that the air bag has been deacti-

vated (refer to the information on

“Child safety: deactivating/activat-

ing the front passenger air bag” in

Section 1).

Fit the child seat in a rear

seat wherever possible.

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 all situations, reinsert the headrest to

its full extent so that it does not interfere

with the child seat (see the information

on “Front headrests” in Section 1);

After installing the child seat, if neces-

sary, the seat may be advanced (so as

to leave enough space in the rear seats

for passengers or other child seats).

For a rear-facing child seat, do not let

it touch the dashboard or move it to the

furthest forward position.

Do not change other settings after in-

stalling the child seat.

1.37

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.

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 their 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 al-

lowing it to come into contact with the

child seat.

For the safety of the child in the for-

ward-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.

Always remove the headrest from the

rear seat used for the child seat (see

“Rear headrests” in Section 1). This

must be done before fitting the child

seat.

Check that the forward-facing child seat

is resting against the back of the vehi-

cle seat.

Deactivating the front

passenger airbags

(on equipped vehicles)

You must deactivate certain devices

in addition to the front passenger seat

belt before fitting a child seat in the front

passenger seat.

To deactivate the airbags : when the

vehicle is stationary, push and turn

lock 1 to the OFF position.

With the ignition on, you must check

that the warning light 2

¹ is lit

on the central display and, depend-

ing on the vehicle, that the message

“Passenger airbag off” is displayed.

This light remains permanently lit to

let you know that you can fit a child

seat.

The passenger airbag must

only be deactivated or acti-

vated when the vehicle is

stationary.

If it is interfered with when the vehi-

cle is being driven, indicator lights

å and © will come on.

Switch the ignition off then on again

to reset the airbag in accordance

with the lock position.

DANGER

Since operation of the front

passenger airbag is not

compatible with the position

of a rear-facing child seat, NEVER

fit a restraint system for a rear-fac-

ing child in a seat protected by an

ACTIVATED front AIRBAG. This

can cause the CHILD’S DEATH or

SERIOUS INJURY.

CHILD SAFETY: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag (3/3)

Operating faults

It is prohibited to fit a rear-facing child

seat to the front passenger seat if the

front passenger airbags activation/

deactivation system shows a fault.

Allowing any other passenger to sit in

that seat is not recommended.

If warning lights

› and ¹ are

lit at the same time.

Contact your approved dealer as soon

as possible.

Activating the front

passenger airbags

You should reactivate the airbags as

soon as you remove the child seat from

the front passenger seat to ensure the

protection of the front passenger in the

event of an impact.

To reactivate the airbags : when the

vehicle is stationary, push and turn

lock 1 to position ON.

With the ignition on, it is essential to

check that warning light 4

› is lit

on the central display, and that it goes

out after a few seconds.

The passenger airbag must

only be deactivated or acti-

vated when the vehicle is

stationary.

If it is interfered with when the vehi-

cle is being driven, indicator lights

å and © will come on.

Switch the ignition off then on again

to reset the airbag in accordance

with the lock position.

DANGER

Since operation of the front

passenger airbag is not

compatible with the position

of a rear-facing child seat, NEVER

fit a restraint system for a rear-fac-

ing child in a seat protected by an

ACTIVATED front AIRBAG. This

can cause the CHILD’S DEATH or

SERIOUS INJURY.

1.51

Operating faults

The steering may become stiff when

driving or when the steering wheel is

turned repeatedly. This is due to the

power assistance overheating. In this

case, it must be allowed to cool down.

Power-assisted steering

Variable power-assisted steering

The variable power-assisted steering

system is equipped with an electronic

control system which alters the level of

assistance to suit the vehicle speed.

Steering is made easier during parking

manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst

the force needed to steer increases

progressively as the speed rises (for

enhanced safety at high speeds).

STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING

Height and reach adjustment

Pull lever 1 and move the steering

wheel to the required position.

Then, push the lever back fully, beyond

the point of resistance to lock the steer-

ing wheel.

Make sure that the steering wheel is

correctly locked.

For safety reasons, only

adjust the steering wheel

when the vehicle is station-

ary.

Never leave the steering wheel at

full lock while stationary.

Never switch off the igni-

tion when travelling down-

hill, and avoid doing so in

normal driving (assistance

is not provided).

With the engine switched off, or if

there is a system fault, it is still pos-

sible to turn the steering wheel. The

force required will be greater.

– the rain sensor is only intended

as a driving aid. In the event of re-

duced visibility, the driver should

manually activate the wipers. In

foggy weather or during snow-

falls, wiping is not automatically

triggered and remains under the

driver’s control;

– in the event of temperatures

below zero, automatic wiping is

not activated when the vehicle

is started. It is automatically acti-

vated as soon as the vehicle ex-

ceeds a certain speed (5 mph

(8 km/h));

– do not activate automatic wiping

in dry weather;

– fully de-ice the windscreen before

activating automatic wiping.

Vehicle fitted with front

windscreen wiper rain sensor

The rain sensor is located on the winds-

creen, in front of the interior rear-view

mirror.

A park

B automatic wiper function.

When this position is selected,

the system detects water on the

windscreen and triggers the wipers

at a suitable wiping speed. It is

possible to change the triggering

threshold and the time sweeps by

turning ring 2:

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (2/5)

– E: minimum sensitivity

– F: maximum sensitivity

The higher the sensitivity, the quic-

ker the wipers will react and the

faster the wipe.

When activating automatic wiping or

when increasing sensitivity, one sweep

of the blades is performed.

1.84

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (3/5)

Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction of the

automatic wiping, the wiper is set to

intermittent wiping. Contact an au-

thorised dealer.

The operation of the rain sensor can

be disturbed in the event of:

– damaged wiper blades; a screen

of water or traces left by a blade in

the sensor’s detection zone may

increase the response time of the

automatic wiper, or increase the

wiping frequency;

– a windscreen with any chip or

crack level with the sensor, or a

windscreen covered in dust, dirt,

insects, ice, the use of washing

wax and water-repellent chemi-

cals; the automatic wiping will

be less sensitive, or even unres-

ponsive.

C slow continuous wiping

D fast continuous wiping

Position C is accessible with the

ignition on. Positions B and D are

accessible only with the engine run-

ning.

Special note

When driving the vehicle, the wiping

speed slows down whenever the vehi-

cle stops. For example, fast wiping

speed will slow to normal wiping speed.

As soon as the vehicle moves off,

wiping will return to the speed originally

selected.

If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and

cancels the automatic function.

Precautions

– In the event of ice, check whether the

blades are stuck to the windscreen

before operating the wiping mecha-

nism. If you activate the wipers while

the blades are stuck down with ice,

you may risk damaging both the

blade and the wiper motor.

– Do not activate the wipers on a dry

screen. This will lead to the prema-

ture wear or damage to the blades.

1.85

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (4/5)

Specific front wiper position

(service position)

This position enables the blades to be

lifted to remove them from the winds-

creen.

This can be useful:

– to clean the blades;

– to release the blades from the winds-

creen in winter;

– to replace the blades (please refer

to the information on the “Wiper

blades” in Section 5).

With the ignition on and the engine off,

lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully

(fast continuous wipe position). The

wiper arms stop in a position away from

the bonnet.

To return the blades to position, make

sure they have been placed on the

windscreen, then move the stalk to po-

sition B (stop) with the ignition on.

Before switching on the ignition,

place the wipers on the windscreen.

Otherwise, there may a risk of damage

to the bonnet or the wipers when they

are switched on.

Note:

Once the wipers have been switched

off, at least 1 minute after locking the

vehicle, it is possible to manually move

the blades. Do not force the blade arms

to move. This may risk damage to the

wiper motor, the arms and the blades.

After your intervention, to reposition the

blades correctly, make sure the blades

are resting on the windscreen, switch

on the ignition and activate the wiper

control.

The blade on the driver’s side must

always be above the passenger blade.

If this is not the case, a quick sweep of

the windscreen wipers should be per-

formed once the vehicle is travelling at

over 4 mph (7 km/h).

In the event of obstacles present on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice, etc.), clean

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).

If an object is preventing a blade from moving, it may stop functioning. Remove

the obstacle and reactivate the wiper using the wiper stalk.

Before any action involving

the windscreen (washing

the vehicle, de-icing,

cleaning the windscreen,

etc.) return stalk 1 to position A

(stop).

Risk of injury and/or damage.

1.86

Headlight washers

Headlights on

On equipped vehicles, hold stalk 1

pulled towards you for about 1 second,

and the headlight washers and winds-

creen washers will be activated at the

same time.

Note:

To ensure the headlight washers ope-

rate correctly in winter, remove snow

from the jet trims and de-ice the jet

trims using an aerosol de-icer.

You are recommended to regularly

remove dirt encrusted on the headlight

glass.

When the minimum windscreen washer

fluid level is reached, the headlight

washer system may be deprimed.

Fill the windscreen washer fluid and

then activate the windscreen washer,

with the engine running, to reprime

the system.

Before any action on the

windscreen (washing the

vehicle, de-icing, cleaning

the windscreen, etc.) return

stalk 1 to position A (park).

Risk of injury and/or damage.

Windscreen washer

With the ignition on, pull stalk 1 then

release.

A brief pull will trigger a single sweep

of the wipers, in addition to the winds-

creen washer.

A longer pull will trigger three sweeps

of the wipers followed, a few seconds

later, by a fourth, in addition to the

windscreen washer.

Note:

In temperatures below zero, the washer

liquid risks freezing to the windscreen,

thereby reducing visibility. Heat the

windscreen using the demister control

before cleaning.

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (5/5)

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in position A (park).

Risk of injury.

In the event of obstacles present

on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice,

etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu-

ding the central area located behind

the interior rear-view mirror) and

the rear screen before starting the

wipers (risk of motor overheating).

If an object is preventing a blade

from moving, it may stop functio-

ning. Remove the obstacle and

reactivate the wiper using the wiper

stalk.

1.87

REAR SCREEN WASH/WIPE

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 wind-

screen 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: ap-

proximately once a year.

Before using the rear wiper, check

that no object obstructs the travel of

the blade.

Do not use the wiper arm to open or

close the tailgate.

Rear screen washer/

wiper

With the ignition on, push the stalk.

Rear screen wiper

With the ignition on, turn ring A

on stalk 1 to align the symbol with

mark 2 then release it.

To stop the operation, pivot ring A

again.

Wiping frequency varies with vehicle

speed.

1.88

Vehicles running on ethanol-based

fuel

It is essential to use unleaded petrol or

fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-

anol (E85).

In very cold conditions, it may be very

difficult or even impossible to start the

engine. To avoid this problem, use un-

leaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles,

use the heater integrated in the engine:

connect the special end of the exten-

sion piece supplied into the socket in-

tegrated into the radiator grille and the

other end into a 220V socket for at least

6 hours before starting.

Note: you may notice an increase in

fuel consumption with this type of fuel.

Useable fuel tank capacity:

59 litres approximately.

With the vehicle unlocked, to open the

compartment B, place your finger into

the recess C.

Valve A is integrated into the filler pipe.

For details on filling the fuel tank, refer

to the information on “Filling with fuel”.

To close it, press on the fuel filler flap by

hand, as far as it will go.

Fuel grade

Use a high-grade fuel that complies

with the legislation in force in each

country and which must conform to the

specifications given on the label on the

cover B. Refer to the information on

“Engine specifications” in Section 6.

Diesel versions

It is essential to use diesel fuel that

conforms with the information given on

the label inside cover B.

Petrol versions

It is essential to use unleaded petrol.

The octane rating (RON) must conform

to the specifications on the label inside

fuel filler flap B. Refer to the information

on “Engine specifications” in Section 6.

FUEL TANK (1/3)

Never press valve A with your fingers.

Do not wash the filler area with a high pressure washer.

Do not mix even small

amounts of petrol (un-

leaded or E85) with diesel.

Do not use ethanol-based

fuel if your vehicle is not compatible

with this fuel.

Do not add additive to the fuel –

otherwise you risk damaging the

engine.

1.89

Filling with fuel

With the ignition off, insert the nozzle to

open valve A and insert it fully before

turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of

splashing).

Keep the nozzle in this position through-

out the entire filling operation.

When the pump cuts out automatically

at the end of the filling procedure, a

maximum of two further filling attempts

may be made, as there must be suffi-

cient space in the fuel tank to allow for

expansion.

Make sure that no water enters the fuel

tank during filling. The valve 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).

FUEL TANK (2/3)

Persistent smell of

fuel

If you notice a persistent

smell of fuel you should:

– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-

fic conditions allow and switch off

the ignition;

– switch on the hazard warning

lights and ask your passengers

to leave the vehicle and to keep

away from traffic;

– contact an approved Dealer.

Vehicle fitted with the Stop and

Start function

To fill up with fuel, the engine must

be stopped (and not on standby):

stop the engine by pressing the

engine stop button 1 (please refer

to the information on “Starting and

stopping the engine” in Section 2).

1.90

No modifications what-

soever are permitted on

any part of the fuel supply

system (computers, wiring,

fuel circuit, injector, protection

covers, etc.) as this may be danger-

ous (such work must be undertaken

by qualified Network personnel).

Running out of fuel on diesel

versions

Vehicles with priming bulb 2

After a breakdown caused by com-

pletely running out of fuel, the system

must be reprimed before the engine is

restarted:

Fill the tank with at least 8 litres of

diesel fuel.

Press priming bulb 2 several times.

The engine can now be restarted.

If the engine does not start after several

attempts, contact an approved Dealer.

FUEL TANK (3/3)

Vehicles without priming bulb 2

Insert the RENAULT card into the 3

card reader. Press the start button 1

without pressing any of the pedals. Wait

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 re-

sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-

ting out when driving;

– loss of power,

as they may cause the catalytic con-

verter to overheat and thus reduce its

efficiency, or damage it irreparably

and cause heat damage to the vehi-

cle.

If you notice any of the above operating

faults, have the necessary repairs car-

ried out as soon as possible by an ap-

proved Dealer.

These faults may be avoided by regu-

larly taking your vehicle to an approved

Dealer at the intervals specified in the

Maintenance Service Booklet.

Starting problems

To avoid damaging the catalytic con-

verter, 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 con-

tact an approved Dealer.

Do not park the vehicle or

run the engine in locations

where combustible sub-

stances or materials such

as grass or leaves can come into

contact with the hot exhaust system.

2.10

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 along with warn-

ing lights

Ä and ©, consult an

authorised dealer immediately.

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 re-

starting the engine.

Do not park the vehicle or

run the engine in locations

where combustible sub-

stances or materials such

as grass or leaves can come into

contact with the hot exhaust system.

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 rela-

tively full to avoid water vapour con-

densing in it and accumulating at the

bottom of the tank.

GEAR LEVER/HANDBRAKE

Selecting reverse gear

Vehicles with manual gearbox: follow

the grid drawn on knob 1, and depend-

ing on the vehicle, lift ring against the

gear lever knob to select reverse.

Vehicle with automatic gearbox: refer

to the information on the “Automatic

gearbox” in Section 2.

The reversing lights will come on as

soon as reverse gear is selected with

the ignition on.

Handbrake

To release:

Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 3

and then lower the lever to the floor.

To apply:

Pull the lever 2 upwards and make sure

the vehicle is immobilised.

When stationary and de-

pending on the slope and/or

vehicle load, it may be nec-

essary to pull up the hand-

brake at least two extra notches and

engage a gear (1

or reverse gear)

for vehicles with a manual gearbox

or position P for vehicles with an au-

tomatic transmission.

An impact to the under-

side of the vehicle while

manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-

ing a post, raised kerb or

other street furniture) may result in

damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-

mation of the rear axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved Dealer.

Make sure that the hand-

brake is properly released

when driving (red indicator

light off), otherwise over-

heating, or even damage, may

occur.

2.12

Before leaving the vehicle,

check that the electronic

parking brake is fully ap-

plied. Indicator light 2 on

switch 3 and indicator light

}

on the instrument panel light up to

show that the parking brake is ap-

plied but go out when the doors are

locked.

Note:

To indicate that the electronic parking

brake is released, a beep sounds and

the message “Apply parking brake” ap-

pears on the instrument panel:

– with the engine running: when the

driver’s door is opened;

– with the engine switched off (eg.

when the engine stalls): when a front

door is opened.

In this case, pull and release switch 3 to

apply the electronic parking brake.

Automatic releasing of the

electronic parking brake

The brake will be released as soon as

the vehicle moves, by accelerating with

a gear selected and the engine running.

Automatic operation

The electronic parking brake en-

sures vehicle immobilisation when the

engine is stopped and engine Start/

Stop button 1 is pressed.

In all other instances, e.g. engine stal-

ling, the electronic parking brake is not

applied automatically. Manual mode

must be used.

For certain country-specific model ver-

sions, the automatic brake application

function is not activated. Refer to the in-

formation on “Manual operation”.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (1/3)

To confirm that the electronic parking

brake is applied, the message “Parking

brake on” and warning light }

on the instrument panel and warning

light 2 on the switch 3 light up.

After the engine is switched off, indi-

cator light 2 goes out several minutes

after the electronic parking brake has

been applied and indicator light

}

goes out when the vehicle is locked.

2.13

Special cases

When parking on a slope or towing a

trailer, pull switch 3 for a few seconds

to obtain the maximum braking effect.

To park the vehicle without applying the

electronic parking brake (if there is a

risk of freezing, for example):

– with the engine running and

RENAULT card in reader 4, switch

off the engine by pressing engine

Start/Stop button 1;

– remove the RENAULTcard from the

Reader 4 and insert it again in the

reader;

– select a gear (manual gearbox) or

position P (automatic gearbox);

– depress the brake pedal and press

switch 3 at the same time;

– remove the RENAULT card from the

card reader.

Brief stop

To manually activate the electronic par-

king brake, (when stopping at a red

light, or stopping when the engine is

running, etc.): pull and release switch 3.

The brake is released as soon as the

vehicle is started up again.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (2/3)

Manual operation

You can control the electronic parking

brake manually.

Applying the electronic parking

brake

Pull switch 3. Indicator lights 2 and

} light up on the instrument panel.

Releasing the electronic parking

brake

With the ignition on, depress the brake

pedal then press button 3: indicator

lights 2 and

} go out.

2.14

– If there is an electronic parking brake

fault, warning lights

® light up

accompanied by the “Parking brake

fault” message, a beep and, in cer-

tain cases, warning light

This means that you must stop as

soon as traffic conditions allow.

Operating faults

– If there is a fault, the © warning

light illuminates on the instrument

panel accompanied by the “Check

parking brake” message and, in

some cases, the

} warning

light.

Contact an approved Dealer as soon

as possible.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (3/3)

It is therefore essential to

immobilise the vehicle by

engaging first gear (manual

gearbox) or position P (au-

tomatic gearbox). If the slope re-

quires it, chock the vehicle.

Versions with an automatic

gearbox

For safety reasons, automatic release

is deactivated when the driver’s door

is open or not shut properly and the

engine is running (in order to prevent

the vehicle from moving without the

driver). The “Release parking brake

manually” message appears on the

instrument panel when the driver de-

presses the accelerator.

Never leave your vehicle

without moving the selec-

tor lever to position P or N.

This is because when the

vehicle is stationary with the engine

running and a gear engaged, the

vehicle may begin to move if you

accelerate.

There is a risk of accidents.

If no lights or sounds are

apparent, this indicates

a fault in the instrument

panel. This indicates that

it is essential to stop immediately

(as soon as traffic conditions allow).

Ensure that the vehicle is correctly

immobilised and contact an appro-

ved Dealer.

2.15

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (1/3)

Fuel consumption is accredited in ac-

cordance with a standard regulatory

method. Identical for all manufactur-

ers, this enables vehicles to be com-

pared with one another. Consumption

in real time depends on vehicle usage

conditions, the equipment fitted and the

user’s driving style. To optimise fuel

consumption, please refer to the follow-

ing advice.

Depending on the vehicle, you will have

various functions which enable you to

lower your fuel consumption:

– gear change indicator;

– the journey record and eco-driving

advice via the multimedia display;

If fitted on the vehicle, the navigation

system provides additional information.

Gear change indicator

To optimise consumption, a warning

light on the screen 1 tells you the best

time to change gear:

\ or  to shift up a gear;

[ or  to shift down a gear.

Journey record

Once the engine is switched off, you

will see “Journey record” displayed on

the screen 1, enabling you to view in-

formation relating to your last journey.

This indicates:

– average fuel consumption;

– number of miles/kilometres travelled;

– number of miles/kilometres saved.

2.16

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/3)

An overall rating from 0 to 100 is dis-

played to let you assess your eco driv-

ing performance. The higher the score,

the better your eco-driving perform-

ance.

Eco advice is given to help improve

your performance.

With your favourite journeys saved, you

can evaluate your performance.

For more information, please see the

multimedia system instructions.

Obstructions to the driver

On the driver’s side, only

use mats suitable for the

vehicle, attached with the

pre-fitted components, and check

the fitting regularly. Do not lay one

mat on top of another.

There is a risk of wedging the

pedals

Driving advice, Eco-driving

Behaviour

– Drive carefully for the first few miles

until the engine reaches its normal

operating temperature, rather than

let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-

tionary.

– Speed is expensive.

– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive

with a light right foot.

– Do not overrev the engine in the in-

termediate gears.

You should always use the highest

gear possible.

– Avoid sudden acceleration.

– Brake as little as possible. If you an-

ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-

vance, 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:

Do not drive through floods

if the water is above the

lower edge of the wheel

rims.

2.17

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/3)

Tyres

– An underinflated tyre increases fuel

consumption.

– The use of non-recommended tyres

can increase fuel consumption.

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%.

– Never fill the fuel tank right to the

brim to avoid overflow.

– In vehicles fitted with air condi-

tioning, it is normal to observe an

increase in fuel consumption (espe-

cially 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:

If the vehicle has been parked in the

sun, open the doors for a few mo-

ments to let the hot air escape before

starting the engine.

– Do not leave an empty roof rack

fitted to the vehicle.

– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-

jects.

– 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.

2.18

MAINTENANCE AND ANTI-POLLUTION ADVICE

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 of the parts on your vehicle have

been designed to be recycled later.

These parts are easily removable in

order to be collected and reprocessed

in recycling networks.

Furthermore, by virtue of its design,

moderate fuel consumption and initial

settings, your vehicle also conforms

to current anti-pollution regulations.

The manufacturer is actively striving

to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emis-

sions and to save energy. However,

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.

Maintenance

It is important to remember that fail-

ure to respect anti-pollution regulations

could lead to legal action being taken

against the vehicle owner.

In addition, replacing engine, fuel

supply system and exhaust compo-

nents with parts other than those origi-

nally recommended by the manufac-

turer may alter your vehicle so that it

no longer complies with anti-pollution

regulations.

Have your vehicle adjusted and

checked by an authorised dealer, in ac-

cordance with the instructions given in

your maintenance schedule: they will

have all the equipment necessary for

ensuring that your vehicle is maintained

to its original standard.

Engine adjustments

– Air filter, fuel filter: a choked ele-

ment will reduce efficiency. It must

be replaced.

– Idle speed: no adjustment is

needed.

Exhaust gas monitoring

system

The exhaust gas monitoring system will

detect any operating faults in the vehi-

cle’s antipollution system.

If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-

stances may be released into the at-

mosphere or damage may occur.

This warning light on the in-

strument panel will indicate if

there are any faults in the system:

This lights up when the ignition is

switched on and goes out when the

engine is started.

– If it lights up continuously, consult an

approved Dealer as soon as possi-

ble;

– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed

until the light stops flashing. Contact

an authorised dealer as soon as pos-

sible.

2.19

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).

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 (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 signature.

Manufacture

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 emis-

sions and waste water; sorting and re-

using waste).

2.20

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 on-

board computer 2 that the tyres are suf-

ficiently inflated and warns if they are

underinflated or leaking. The warning

light 4

 on the instrument panel

comes on to warn the driver if the pres-

sure is too low.

It should always be done after checking

the tyre pressure of all four tyres when

cold.

Tyre pressures must correspond to the

current usage of the vehicle (empty,

carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).

With the ignition on:

– Make short presses on the control 3

to select the tyre pressure display

(see “On-board computer: settings”

in Section 1);

– press and hold (around 3 seconds)

the button 3 to launch the reset. A

flashing tyre followed by the mes-

sage “Pressure ref Ongoing” indi-

cates that the request to learn the

reference pressure has been taken

into account;

– reset can take several minutes of

driving.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (1/4)

1 2

Resetting the standard level

for the tyre pressures

This should be done:

– when the standard tyre pressure

needs to be changed to adapt to

usage conditions (empty, carrying a

load, motorway driving, etc.);

– after swapping wheels over (how-

ever this practice is not recom-

mended);

– after changing a wheel.

This function is an additio-

nal 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.

2.21

Display

The warning light 4  on the in-

strument panel along with the display 1,

and messages on the display 2 indicate

any tyre pressure faults (flat tyre, punc-

tured tyre, system fault, etc.).

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (2/4)

“Puncture”

The wheel A, together with the warn-

ing light 4 , indicates that the af-

fected wheel is punctured or severely

underinflated. Replace it or contact an

authorised dealer if it is punctured. Top

up the tyre pressure if the wheel is de-

flated.

This message appears along with the

® warning light.

“Adjust tyre pressure”

A coloured wheel A, together with the

warning light 4

, indicates a flat

tyre.

Check and, if necessary, readjust the

pressures of the four wheels when cold.

While driving the warning light 4



goes off after a few minutes.

Warning light ® re-

quires you to stop immedi-

ately, for your own safety,

as soon as traffic conditions allow.

The sudden loss of pressure in a

tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-

tected by the system.

2.22

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (3/4)

“CHECK TYRE PRESSURE

SENSORS”

The warning light

 flashes for

several seconds, then stays on, along

with the message “CHECK TYRE

PRESSURE SENSORS” and a missing

wheel B.

This message appears along with the

This message appears when at least

one wheel fitted on the vehicle does not

have sensors (e.g. emergency spare

wheel). In other cases, contact an au-

thorised dealer.

Replacing wheels/tyres

This system requires specific equip-

ment (wheels, tyres, sensors, etc.).

Contact an authorised dealer to replace

the tyres and to find out about avail-

able accessories compatible with the

system: the use of any other accessory

could affect the correct operation of the

system or damage a sensor.

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.

Interchangeability of wheels

If you wish to swap the wheels around,

please consult an approved dealer to

reinitialise the system.

Each of the sensors incor-

porated in the valves 5 is

dedicated to a single wheel:

under no circumstances

should you swap the wheels, with-

out resetting the system.

There is a risk of incorrect informa-

tion which could have serious con-

sequences.

2.23

Readjustment of tyre

pressures

The tyre pressures must be adjusted

when cold (please refer to the label lo-

cated on the edge of the driver’s door).

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.

Emergency spare wheel

If the vehicle is equipped with an emer-

gency spare wheel, it will not have

a sensor. When it is fitted to the ve-

hicle, the message “CHECK TYRE

PRESSURE SENSORS” is displayed

on the instrument panel.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (4/4)

C D

Depending on the vehicle, to mark the

correct position of the wheel, note the

colour of the ring 6 (after cleaning, if ne-

cessary) on each valve:

C yellow ring

D black ring

E red ring

F green ring

Each of the sensors incorporated in the valves 5 is dedicated to a single

wheel: under no circumstances should you swap the wheels, without re-

setting the system.

There is a risk of incorrect information which could have serious conse-

quences.

Tyre repair product and

inflation kit

Because the valves are specially de-

signed, only use equipment approved

by the approved network.

Operating faults:

–

ment panel with the messages

“Check ABS”, “Check braking

system” and “Check ESC” : ABS,

ESC and the emergency brake

assist are deactivated. Braking is

always enabled;

–

x, D, © and ® lit

up on the instrument panel alongside

the message “Braking system fault”:

this indicates a fault in the braking

system.

In both cases, consult an approved

Dealer.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/4)

Depending on the vehicle, this is com-

posed of:

– the ABS (anti-lock braking

system);

– electronic stability control ESC

with understeer control and trac-

tion control;

– emergency brake assist with, de-

pending on the vehicle, braking

anticipation;

– hill start assistance.

In an emergency, apply firm and

continuous pressure to the brake

pedal. There is no need to pump

it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-

late the force applied in the braking

system.

These functions are an ad-

ditional aid in the event of

critical driving conditions,

enabling the vehicle behav-

iour 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 responsibil-

ity of the driver when manoeuvring

the vehicle (the driver must always

be ready for sudden incidents which

may occur when driving).

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.

ABS (anti-lock braking

system)

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 vehi-

cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle

whilst braking. In addition, this system

can increase stopping distances, par-

ticularly 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 per-

formance 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.).

2.25

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/4)

Electronic stability control

ESC with understeer control

and traction control

Electronic stability control ESC

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

 flashes on the instrument panel.

Understeer control

This system optimises the action of the

ESC in the case of pronounced under-

steer (loss of front axle road holding).

Traction control

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 operat-

ing fault the message “Check ESC” and

warning light

strument panel.

In this case, the ESC and traction

control system are deactivated. Consult

an authorised dealer.

2.26

The traction control system offers ad-

ditional safety. It is recommended that

you do not drive with the function di-

sabled. Correct this as soon as pos-

sible by pressing the switch 1 again.

Note: the function is reactivated auto-

matically when the ignition is switched

on or when a speed of approximately

24 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded.

Emergency brake assist

This system supplements the ABS

and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-

tances.

Operating principle

The system is for detecting an emer-

gency braking situation. In this case,

the braking assistance immediately de-

velops maximum power and may trig-

ger 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 decel-

eration.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operat-

ing fault the message “Check brak-

ing system” appears on the instrument

panel along with the

light.

Consult an approved dealer.

Braking anticipation

Depending on the vehicle, when you

rapidly release the accelerator, the

system anticipates the braking ma-

noeuvre in order to reduce stopping

distances.

Special cases

When using the cruise control:

– if you use the accelerator, when you

release it, the system may be trig-

gered;

– if you do not use the accelerator, the

system will not be triggered.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/4)

Disabling the traction control

system

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 wheel-

spin. If this is not required, it is possible

to deactivate the function by pressing

switch 1.

The message “Traction control off” is

displayed on the instrument panel to

inform you.

2.27

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (4/4)

Hill start assistance

This device assists the driver when

starting on hills (ascending or descend-

ing). It prevents the vehicle from rolling

forwards or backwards by automatically

applying the brakes when the driver lifts

their 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 transmis-

sions) and the vehicle is completely

stationary (brake pedal depressed).

The system holds the vehicle for ap-

proximately 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 sit-

uations (extremely steep gradients,

etc.).

In all cases, the driver may depress

the brake pedal to prevent the ve-

hicle from rolling forwards or back-

wards.

The hill start assistance function

should not be used for prolonged

stops: use the brake pedal.

This function is not designed to im-

mobilise 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.

2.28

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (1/2)

This function is a driving aid in the event of the accidental crossing of

a continuous or broken line in the road. However, the function is not in-

tended to replace the driver. The function can be disrupted under certain

conditions, including:

– poor visibility (rain, snow, fog, dirty windscreen, glare of the sun, partially ob-

scured road lines, etc.);

– roads with tight bends;

– closely following a vehicle in the same lane;

– worn road markings, difficult to distinguish or spaced very widely apart;

– narrow roads;

– ...

In this case, warning light

 on the instrument panel goes out to indicate that

the function will not operate (lines not detected).

Under no circumstances should this function replace the driver’s care or respon-

sibility whilst performing manoeuvres.

This system notifies the driver when

they accidentally cross a continuous or

broken line.

This function uses a camera attached

to the windscreen, behind the rear-view

mirror.

2.29

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (1/3)

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 Decrease limit speed (-).

4 Switch the function to standby (with

memorisation of the limit speed) (O).

5 Activation and recall of stored limit

speed (R).

Switching on

Press the side switch 1 . Warning

light 7 comes on, lit orange, and the

message “Speed limiter” appears on

the instrument panel, accompanied by

dashes in zone 6 to indicate that the

speed limiter function is activated and

waiting to store a speed limit.

To store the current speed, press

switch 2 (+): The limited speed will

appear in zone 6. The minimum stored

speed is 20 mph (30 km/h).

2.31

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 accelera-

tor pedal will allow you to exceed

the programmed speed except in an

emergency (refer to information on

“Exceeding the limit speed”).

Varying the limit speed

The limit speed may be changed by re-

peatedly pressing:

– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;

– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.

Exceeding the limit speed

It is possible to exceed the limit speed

at any moment. To do this: press the

accelerator pedal firmly and fully

(beyond the kickdown point).

While driving over the speed limit, the

speed limit flashes on the instrument

panel, the display area A goes red

and, depending on the vehicle, a beep

sounds.

Then, as far as is possible, release

the accelerator pedal: the speed lim-

iter 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

limited speed: the stored speed flashes

on the instrument panel, the area A

goes red, and depending on the vehi-

cle, a warning beep sounds.

The speed limiter function is

in no way linked to the brak-

ing system.

Recalling the limit speed

If a speed has been stored, it can be re-

called by pressing switch 5 (R).

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

Putting the function on

standby

The speed limiter function is deacti-

vated when you press switch 4 (O). In

this case, the speed limit will remain

stored and is no longer displayed in

zone 6 and the message “Memorised”

along with the stored speed will appear

on the display.

When the speed limiter is put on

standby, pressing switch 2 (+) re-

activates the function without taking

into account the stored speed: it is

the speed at which the vehicle is

moving that is taken into account.

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is deacti-

vated if you press switch 1: in this case

a speed is no longer stored. The in-

strument panel orange indicator light 7

goes out to confirm that the function is

deactivated.

2.33

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).

2.34

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)

Switching on

Press switch 1 on the side showing .

Warning light 7 comes on, lit green, and

the message “Cruise control” appears

on the instrument panel and dashes

appear in zone 6 to indicate that the

cruise control function is activated and

waiting to store a cruising speed.

Activating cruise control

At a steady speed (above 20 mph

(30 km/h) approximately) press

switch 2 (+): the speed is stored. The

cruising speed will appear in zone 6.

Cruise control activation is confirmed

when area A lights up green in addition

to indicator light 7. Area B also lights

up green to indicate that the cruising

speed has been reached.

Driving

Once a cruising speed is stored and

the cruise control function is active,

you may lift your foot off the accelera-

tor pedal.

Important: you are never-

theless advised to keep

your feet close to the pedals

in order to react if neces-

sary.

2.35

Putting the function on

standby

The function is suspended when you:

– press switch 4 (O);

– depress the brake pedal;

– depress the clutch pedal or shift into

neutral if the vehicle has an auto-

matic gearbox.

In all three cases, the cruising speed re-

mains stored, it is no longer displayed in

zone 6 and the message “Memorised”

along with the stored speed will appear

on the instrument panel.

Standby is confirmed when zones A, B

and C go out.

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded

at any time by depressing the acceler-

ator pedal. The cruising speed flashes

on the instrument panel along with the

illumination of zone C in red.

Then, release the accelerator: after a

few seconds, the vehicle will automati-

cally return to its set cruising speed.

Cruising speed cannot be

maintained

If driving up or down a steep gradient,

the system is unable to maintain the

cruising speed: the stored speed on the

instrument panel will flash and zone C

will light up in red to inform you of this

situation.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)

Adjusting the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be changed by

pressing the following repeatedly:

– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;

– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

2.36

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

Note: if the speed previously stored is

much higher than the current speed,

the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly

to reach this threshold.

When the cruise control function is

put on standby, pressing switch 2 (+)

reactivates the cruise control func-

tion without taking into account the

stored speed: it is the speed at

which the vehicle is moving that is

taken into account.

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is deacti-

vated if you press switch 1: in this case

a speed is no longer stored. The instru-

ment panel green indicator light 7 and

zones A, B and C go out, confirming

that the function is deactivated.

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.

Returning to the cruising speed

If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,

once you are sure that the road condi-

tions are suitable (traffic, road surface,

weather conditions, etc.).

Press switch 5 (R) if the vehicle speed

is above 20 mph (30 km/h).

When recalling the stored speed

zone A lights up to confirm activation.

Zone B lights up as soon as the cruis-

ing speed is reached.

Rear parking distance control

Operation

When reverse gear is selected, most

objects which are less than approxi-

mately 1.20 metres from the rear of

the vehicle are detected and a beep

sounds.

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 30 centi-

metres from the obstacle.

Note: the display 1 shows the vehicle

surroundings in conjunction with the

beeps.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/4)

Automatic activation/deactivation of

the rear parking distance control

The system deactivates:

– depending on the model, when the

vehicle is stationary for more than

approximately 5 seconds and an ob-

stacle is detected (such as when in a

traffic jam, etc.);

– when the vehicle is in neutral or

when the gearstick has been shifted

to N or P for automatic gearboxes;

– when the vehicle speed is above ap-

proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

This function is an addi-

tional aid that indicates the

distance between the vehi-

cle and an obstacle whilst

reversing, using sound signals.

Under no circumstances should it

replace the driver’s care or respon-

sibility whilst reversing.

The driver should always look out

for sudden hazards during driv-

ing: 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.

2.38

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/4)

An impact to the under-

side of the vehicle while

manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-

ing a post, raised kerb or

other street furniture) may result in

damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-

mation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved Dealer.

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 around

1 metre away from the front of the ve-

hicle are detected and a beep sounds.

The display 1 comes on.

Note: The display 1 shows the vehicle

surroundings and emits beeps.

Automatic activation/deactivation of

the front parking distance control

The system deactivates:

– when the vehicle speed is above ap-

proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);

– depending on the model, when the

vehicle is stationary for more than

approximately 5 seconds and an ob-

stacle 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 gear-

boxes;

If there are obstacles located close to

both the front and rear of the vehicle,

only the closest of the two will be ac-

knowledged and the corresponding

front or rear beep sound will be emit-

ted. If obstacles are detected both at

the front and rear of the vehicle at the

same time, and they are both less than

30 centimetres away from the vehicle,

the corresponding front and rear beeps

will be emitted alternately.

8 : manual mode

9: zone displaying gearbox mode or

gear engaged in manual mode

Operation

With the gear lever 1 in position P,

switch on the ignition.

To move out of position P, you must de-

press the brake pedal before pressing

unlocking button 2.

With the foot on the brake pedal (warn-

ing light

c on the display 3 goes out),

move the lever out of position P.

Only engage D or R when the vehi-

cle is stopped, with your foot on the

brake and the accelerator pedal re-

leased.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (1/3)

Driving in automatic mode

Select position D. In most traffic con-

ditions, you will not have to touch the

gear selector lever again: the gears will

change automatically at the right time

and at the most suitable engine speed

because the automatic system takes

into account the vehicle load and road

contour and adjusts itself to the particu-

lar driving style you have chosen.

Economical driving

When driving, always leave the lever

in position D, keeping the accelerator

pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-

matic gear changes at a lower engine

speed.

Accelerating and overtaking

Depress the accelerator pedal firmly

and fully (so that it goes beyond the

kickdown point).

This will enable you to change down

to the optimum gear within the

engine range.

2.44

Parking the vehicle

When the vehicle is stopped, move the

lever to position P while keeping your

foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is

in neutral and the drive wheels are me-

chanically locked by the driveshaft.

Apply the handbrake or, depending

on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-

tronic parking brake is applied.

Special circumstances

– If the road contours and bends

do not allow you to stay in auto-

matic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),

we recommend that you change to

manual mode.

This will prevent the automatic gear-

box from changing gears repeatedly

when climbing, and permit engine

braking on long descents.

– In cold weather, to prevent the

engine from stalling, wait a few mo-

ments before shifting the selector

lever from position P or N and en-

gaging D or R.

Driving in manual mode

With the selector lever in position D,

move the lever to the left. Shifting the

lever repeatedly allows you to change

gears manually:

– To move down through the gears,

push the lever backwards;

– To move up through the gears, push

the lever forwards.

The gear selected is displayed on the

instrument panel.

Special cases

Under certain driving conditions (e.g.

engine protection, or electronic stabil-

ity program (ESP) operational etc.): the

automatic system may change gear au-

tomatically.

Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-

vres, a gear change may be refused by

the automatic system: in this case the

gear display flashes for a few seconds

as a warning.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)

In very cold weather, the system

may prevent the gears from being

shifted in manual mode until the

gearbox reaches the right tempera-

ture.

An impact to the under-

side of the vehicle while

manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-

ing a post, raised kerb or

other street furniture) may result in

damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-

mation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved Dealer.

2.45

When setting off, if the lever is locked

in position P even though you are de-

pressing the brake pedal and pressing

unlocking button 2, the lever can be re-

leased manually. To do this, press the

button by inserting an object into the

hole 10 and simultaneously press un-

locking button 2 located on the lever.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)

Operating faults

– When driving, if the “Check auto

gearbox” message appears on the

instrument panel, it indicates a fault.

Contact your approved Dealer as

soon as possible.

– When driving, if the message “Auto

gearbox overheating” appears on

the instrument panel, stop the ve-

hicle to allow the gearbox to cool

down.

Contact your approved Dealer as

soon as possible.

– If a vehicle with an automatic

gearbox breaks down, refer to the

information on “Towing” in Section 5.

recirculation on

Press button 6: the integrated indicator

light comes on.

Under these conditions, air is taken

from the passenger compartment and

is recirculated, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle.

Air recirculation is for:

– isolating the vehicle from the exter-

nal atmosphere (driving in polluted

areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

“OFF" position:

the system is deactivated: the ventila-

tion speed for the passenger compart-

ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),

you can however still feel a slight flow

of air when the vehicle is moving.

Recommended demisting option:

Turn controls 1, 2 and 4 to the

position.

This is the quickest option for de-icing

and demisting the side windows and

the windscreen.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (2/2)

Prolonged use of air recirculation

can lead to condensation forming

on the side windows and winds-

creen, and discomfort due to the

use of non-renewed air in the pas-

senger compartment.

We therefore advise you to return to

normal mode (external air) as soon

as the air recirculation function is

no longer required, by pressing the

button 6 again.

The de-icing function cannot be used with the air recirculation mode to avoid any risk of condensation forming on the wind-

screen and triggers the air conditioning and the integrated indicator light 3 to come on.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (1/5)

Automatic mode

The automatic climate control system

guarantees comfort in the passen-

ger compartment and good visibility

(except in the event of extreme condi-

tions), whilst optimising consumption.

The system controls the ventilation

speed, air distribution, air recircula-

tion, and starting and stopping the air

conditioning and air temperature. This

mode consists of a choice of three pro-

grammes:

AUTO: allows the selected comfort

level to be best attained, depending on

the exterior conditions. Press button 3.

SOFT: gently brings the temperature to

the desired comfort level. The comfort

level is then maintained gently and si-

lently. Press button 2.

FAST: increases the operation of the

system to reach the desired comfort

level more quickly. Use this programme

when you have passengers in the rear.

The displayed temperature values

show a comfort level.

When starting the engine, in-

creasing or decreasing the value

displayed will not allow the com-

fort level to be reached any more

quickly. The system will always op-

timise the temperature increase or

decrease (the ventilation system

does not start instantly at maximum

speed: it gradually increases). This

may take several minutes.

Generally speaking, unless there is

a particular reason not to, the dash-

board air vents should remain open.

You are recommended to use automatic mode by selecting one of the auto-

matic programmes AUTO, SOFT or FAST.

In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning

functions are controlled by the system.

You can also change the system selection. In this case, the indicator light on the

button 3 will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by the

system, will be shown on the display 12.

To return to automatic mode, press one of the AUTO, SOFT or FAST programmes.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (3/5)

Switching air conditioning on

or off

In automatic mode, the system switches

the air conditioning system on or off,

The air flow is distributed be-

tween front side window de-

misting vents, the windscreen demist-

ing vents and the footwells.

The air flow is directed mainly

towards the footwells.

The air flow is directed towards

the dashboard vents and the

footwells.

All the air flow is directed to the

dashboard vents.

In this situation, the distribution of air in

the passenger compartment, which is

no longer automatically controlled, ap-

pears on the display.

Adjusting the distribution

of air in the passenger

compartment

There are five air distribution options.

Manual use

Pressing button 11 allows air recircula-

tion to be forced, in which case the in-

tegrated warning light comes on as well

as warning light 14.

Prolonged use of this position may lead

to odours, caused by non-renewal of

air, and the formation of condensation

on the windows.

We therefore advise you to return to au-

tomatic mode as soon as the air recir-

culation function is no longer required,

by pressing button 11 again.

Stopping the system

Press the button 7 to switch off the

system; in this case “OFF” is shown on

the display 12. To switch the system on,

press one of switches 2, 3 or 4.

Recycling

This function is managed automati-

cally (operation is confirmed by warn-

ing light 14 on display 12), but you can

also activate it manually.

Note:

– during recirculation, air is taken from

the passenger compartment and

is recycled, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle;

– air recirculation allows the external

atmosphere to be cut off (when dri-

ving in polluted areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (5/5)

The demisting/de-icing will still take

priority over the air recirculation.

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 Document

for your vehicle for the inspection

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 per-

formance. 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 vehi-

cle. This is caused by condensation.

3.12

These systems operate with the igni-

tion on or off, until one of the front doors

is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).

From the driver’s seat, use switch:

1 for the driver’s side;

2 for the front passenger side;

3 and 5 for the rear passenger win-

dows.

From the passenger seats, use

switch 6.

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.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS, ELECTRIC SUNROOF (1/3)

Electric windows

Press or pull the switch to raise or lower

a window to the desired height (the rear

windows do not open fully);

One-touch mode

This mode works in addition to the

operation of the electric windows de-

scribed previously. It either operates on

the front windows only, or on all the win-

dows.

Briefly press or pull the window switch

fully: the window is fully lowered or

raised. Pressing the switch again stops

the window moving.

Avoid resting any objects against

a half-open window: there is a risk

that the electric window could be

damaged.

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 ac-

tivated.

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.

moves back several centimetres.

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.

The reason for this is that the child

may endanger himself or others by

starting the engine, activating equip-

ment such as the window winders

for example, or locking the doors.

If a body part gets trapped, reverse

the direction of travel as soon as

possible by turning button 9 fully to

the right (position D).

– do not open the sunroof immedi-

ately after the vehicle has been in

the rain or after your car has been

washed.

– Vehicle with roof bars

As a general rule, if there is a load

on the roof, use of the sunroof is not

recommended.

Before using the sunroof, check the

objects and/or accessories (bike

racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to

the roof bars: they should be prop-

erly arranged and secured and

should not interfere with the opera-

tion of the sunroof.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information (1/2)

Minimum oil level warning on

the instrument panel

When the message “Checking control

functions” is displayed, press either

button 3 or 4.

If the level is above the minimum

level : the message “Oil level” will be

shown on the display with squares 1,

which are replaced by dashes when the

level drops 2.

Note: The detailed level cannot be dis-

played if the vehicle was previously

only driven for a short time.

If the level is at the minimum

The “Top up oil level” message and

warning light

the instrument panel.

It is vital to top up the oil as soon as

possible.

The display only warns the

driver if the oil level is at the

minimum level. It does not

inform the driver that the oil

level has exceeded the maximum

level as this can only be measured

using a dipstick.

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 be-

tween oil changes.

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.

Reading the oil level

The oil level should be read with the ve-

hicle 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.

– push the dipstick in as far as it will

go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-

type 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 com-

pleted, ensure that the dipstick is

pushed in as far as it will go or that

the “cap-type dipstick” is completely

screwed in.

Consult your approved Dealer at

once if you notice an abnormal or

repeated drop in any of the fluid

levels.

The engine may be hot

when carrying out opera-

tions in close proximity. In

addition, the engine cooling

fan can come on at any moment.

4.16

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)

You should

Wash your car frequently, with the

engine off, with cleaning products rec-

ommended by the manufacturer (never

use abrasive products). Rinse thor-

oughly beforehand with a jet:

– spots of tree resin and industrial

grime;

– mud in the wheel arches and under-

neath 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 im-

possible to remove them by polish-

ing;

– salt, particularly in the wheel arches

and underneath the body after driv-

ing in areas where the roads have

been gritted.

Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves,

etc.) from the vehicle regularly.

What you should not do

Do not degrease or clean mechani-

cal components (e.g. the engine com-

partment), underneath the body, parts

with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and

painted plastic external fittings (e.g.

bumpers) using high-pressure clean-

ing equipment or by spraying on prod-

ucts 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 im-

pacts.

Do not use solvents not approved by

our Technical Department to remove

stains as this could damage the paint-

work.

Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-

tions without washing the vehicle, par-

ticularly under the wheel arches and

body.

A well-maintained vehicle will last

longer. It is therefore recommended to

maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-

ularly.

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 condi-

tions (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 pre-

cautions in order to safeguard your ve-

hicle against such risks.

4.17

Respect local regulations about wash-

ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-

hicle 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 pe-

riodically in order to maintain your

anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the

Maintenance Document.

If it is necessary to clean mechani-

cal components, hinges, etc., spray

them with products approved by our

Technical Department to protect them

after they have been cleaned.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)

We have selected special products

to care for your vehicle and you can

obtain these from the manufactur-

er’s accessory outlets.

Using a roller type car wash

Return the windscreen wiper stalk to

the Park position (refer to the informa-

tion 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 alco-

hol must not be used.

Vehicles with a matte paint

finish

This type of paint requires certain pre-

cautions.

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-pres-

sure 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.

4.18

Glass instrument panel

(e.g.: instrument panel, clock, exterior

temperature display, radio display, mul-

timedia or multifunction display etc.)

Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).

If this does not clean them properly,

use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly

moistened with soapy water and then

wipe clean with another soft damp cloth

or cotton wool.

Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry

cloth.

Do not use products containing alco-

hol and/or spray fluids on the area.

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.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)

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 spa-

tula (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.

A well-maintained vehicle will last

longer. It is therefore recommended to

maintain the interior of the vehicle re-

gularly.

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, pow-

dered products, alcohol-based pro-

ducts) should not be used.

Use a soft cloth.

Rinse and soak up the excess.

For further recommendations for

maintaining the interior, and/or for

any unsatisfactory results, please

see an authorised dealer.

4.19

You are strongly recom-

mended not to use high-

pressure or spray cleaning

equipment inside the pas-

senger compartment: use of such

equipment could impair the correct

functioning of the electrical or elec-

tronic components in the vehicle, or

have other detrimental effects.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)

You should not:

You are strongly advised not to po-

sition objects such as deodorants,

scents, etc. near air vents, as this could

damage your dashboard trim.

Removal/replacing removable

equipment originally fitted in

the vehicle

If you need to remove equipment in

order to clean the passenger com-

partment (for example, mats), always

ensure that they are correctly refitted

and are the right way around (the dri-

ver’s mat should be fitted on the driver’s

side, etc.) and fit them with the compo-

nents supplied with the equipment (for

example, the driver mat should always

be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting

components).

With the vehicle stationary, ensure that

nothing will impede driving (anything

obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by

the mat, etc.).

PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL

Special note:

The Tyre Pressure Monitor function

does not check the emergency spare

wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-

gency spare wheel disappears from the

instrument panel display).

Refer to the information on the “Tyre

pressure monitor” in Section 2.

In the event of a puncture,

depending on the vehicle,

you will have:

An emergency spare wheel or tyre in-

flation kit (refer to the information on the

following pages).

Emergency spare wheel

This is located in the luggage compart-

ment. To access it:

– open the tailgate;

– depending on the vehicle, unscrew

the anchorage points;

– fold back the luggage compartment

carpet using tab 1;

– unscrew the central mounting;

– remove the emergency spare wheel.

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.

Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel which is different to the four other wheels:

– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.

– 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.

5.3

TYRE INFLATION KIT (1/5)

The kit is only approved for

inflating the tyres of the ve-

hicle originally equipped

with the kit.

It must never be used to inflate

the tyres of another vehicle, or any

other inflatable object (rubber ring,

rubber boat, etc.).

Avoid spillage on skin when han-

dling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-

lets do leak out, rinse them off with

plenty of water.

Keep the repair kit away from chil-

dren.

Do not dispose of the empty bottle

in the countryside. Return it to your

approved dealer or to a recycling or-

ganisation.

The bottle has a limited service

life which is indicated on its label.

Check the expiry date.

Contact an approved dealer to re-

place the inflation tube and repair

product bottle.

The kit repairs tyres when

tread A has been dam-

aged 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.

Do not attempt to use the

inflation kit if the tyre has

been damaged as a result

of driving with a puncture.

You should therefore carefully check

the condition of the tyre sidewalls

before any operation.

Driving with underinflated, flat or

punctured tyres can be dangerous

and may make the tyre impossible

to repair.

This repair is temporary

A tyre which has been punctured

should always be inspected (and re-

paired, 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.

5.4

Depending on the vehicle, remove the

central partition in the storage compart-

ment to access the inflation kit.

Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (the

cap must not be removed from the

bottle) then screw bottle 2 to its base 3.

Engine running, handbrake applied:

– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel

concerned and screw inflation

adapter 6 onto the valve;

– connect adapter 8 to the accessories

socket on the dashboard of the vehi-

cle;

– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to

the recommended pressure (check

the label affixed to the edge of the

driver’s door);

– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop

inflating and read the pressure (on

pressure gauge 4);

Note: while the bottle is emptying

(approximately 30 seconds), pres-

sure gauge 4 will briefly indicate a

pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure

will drop.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/5)

– adjust the pressure: to increase

it, continue inflating with the kit, to

reduce it, turn button 7 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 ve-

hicle but contact an approved dealer.

Inflation kit C

Depending on the vehicle, in the event

of a puncture, use the kit located under-

neath the boot carpet.

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.

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 apply-

ing to the country you are in.

5.5

TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/5)

– affix driving recommendation label 9

to the dashboard where it can easily

be seen by the driver;

– store the kit;

– after the first inflation procedure the

tyre will still be leaking; it is vital to

drive in order to plug the hole;

– start immediately and drive at be-

tween 12 and 36 mph (20 and

60 km/h) to distribute the product

evenly throughout the tyre, stopping

after a distance of 2 miles (3 kilome-

tres) to check the pressure;

– If the pressure is above 1.3 bar but

lower than the recommended pres-

sure, readjust it (refer to the label

affixed to the edge of the driver’s

door), otherwise contact an ap-

proved dealer: repair is not possible.

Note: after using the inflation kit, you

should visit an approved Dealer to re-

place the inflation hose and the bottle

of repair product.

Precautions when using the kit

The kit should not be operated for more

than 15 consecutive minutes.

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.

Once the tyre is inflated correctly:

– stop using the kit;

– close the integrated cap on the bottle

again;

– disconnect adapter 8;

Following repair with the kit,

do not travel further than

120 miles (200 km). In addi-

tion, 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.

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing 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.

5.6

TYRE INFLATION KIT (4/5)

Inflation kit D

Depending on the vehicle, in the event

of a puncture, use the kit located in the

boot or underneath the luggage com-

partment carpet.

Engine running, handbrake applied:

– unroll the hose from the container;

– connect the compressor hose 12 to

the container’s inlet 17;

– depending on the vehicle, connect

the container 17 to the compressor

from the container recess 16;

– unscrew the valve cap on the rel-

evant wheel and screw on the con-

tainer’s inflation adapter 10;

– adapter 11 must be connected to the

vehicle accessories socket;

– press switch 13 to inflate the tyre to

the recommended pressure (please

refer to the information in the section

on “Tyre pressure”);

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.

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 apply-

ing to the country you are in.

– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop

inflating and read the pressure (on

pressure gauge 14).

Note: while the container is empty-

ing (approximately 30 seconds), the

pressure gauge 14 will briefly indi-

cate a pressure of up to 6 bar. The

pressure will then drop.

– adjust the pressure: to increase

it, continue inflation with the kit; to

reduce it, press button 15.

If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is

not reached after 15 minutes, repair

is not possible; do not drive the ve-

hicle but contact an approved dealer.

5.7

TYRE INFLATION KIT (5/5)

Once the tyre is correctly inflated,

remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-

flation adapter 10 to prevent any repair

product from escaping and store the

container in plastic packaging to pre-

vent the product from escaping.

– 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 op-

eration, air will still escape from the

tyre. You must drive a short distance

in order to seal the hole.

– Start immediately and drive at be-

tween 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.

– 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), read-

just 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.

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.

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing 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 addi-

tion, 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.

trims.

Wheel bolt guide 5

For tightening/loosening wheel bolts on

vehicles fitted with alloy wheels

Tow eye 6

Refer to the information on “Towing” in

Section 5.

Lever 7

This tightens or releases the tow eye 6.

Do not leave the tools un-

secured inside the vehicle

as they may come loose

under braking. After use,

check that all the tools are correctly

clipped into the tool kit, then position

it correctly in its housing: there is a

risk of injury.

If wheel bolts are supplied in the

tool kit, only use these bolts for the

emergency spare wheel: refer to the

label affixed to the emergency spare

wheel.

The jack is designed for wheel

changing purposes only. Under no

circumstances should it be used for

carrying out repairs underneath the

vehicle or to gain access to the un-

derside of the vehicle.

5.9

Remove the wheel trim using hubcap

tool 1 (located in the tool kit) by en-

gaging the hook in the opening near

valve 2.

To refit it, align it with valve 2. Push the

retaining hooks in fully, starting with

side A near the valve, followed by B

and C, finishing at D opposite the valve.

NB: if you are using anti-theft bolts,

please refer to the information on

“Changing a wheel”.

WHEEL TRIMS - WHEEL

Do not leave the tools un-

secured inside the vehicle

as they may come loose

under braking. After use,

check that all the tools are correctly

clipped into the tool kit, then position

it correctly in its housing: there is a

risk of injury.

If wheel bolts are supplied in the

tool kit, only use these bolts for the

emergency spare wheel: refer to the

label affixed to the emergency spare

wheel.

The jack is designed for wheel

changing purposes only. Under no

circumstances should it be used for

carrying out repairs underneath the

vehicle or to gain access to the un-

derside of the vehicle.

5.10

Offer up the jack 4 horizontally; the jack

head must be lined up with jacking

point 1 located on the underside of the

sill, closest to the wheel concerned, as

shown by arrow 2.

Start cranking the jack up by hand to

align the base plate (which should be

pushed slightly under the vehicle).

Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts

off the ground.

Switch on the hazard warn-

ing lights.

Keep the vehicle away from

traffic and on a level surface

where it will not slip.

Apply the parking brake and engage

a gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-

matic transmissions).

Ask all the passengers to leave the

vehicle and keep them away from

traffic.

CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)

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 apply-

ing to the country you are in.

Vehicles equipped with a jack

and wheelbrace

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.

Use the wheelbrace 3 to slacken off the

wheel bolts. Position it so as to be able

to push from above.

If the vehicle is not equipped with a

jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain

these from your approved dealer.

5.11

Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.

Fit the emergency spare wheel onto

the hub and rotate it until the mounting

holes in the wheel coincide with those

of the hub.

If bolts are supplied with the emergency

spare wheel, only use these bolts for

the emergency spare wheel. Tighten

the bolts, checking that the wheel is

correctly positioned on its hub and

lower the jack.

With the wheel on the ground, tighten

the bolts fully and have the tightness

of the bolts checked (tightening torque:

110 N.m) and the emergency spare

wheel pressure checked as soon as

possible.

CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)

Anti-theft bolt

If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these

nearest the valve (wheel trim may

not be able to fit).

If you have a puncture, re-

place the wheel as soon as

possible.

A tyre which has been punc-

tured should always be inspected

(and repaired, where possible) by a

specialist.

5.12

TYRES (1/3)

Maintaining the tyres

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

that are indicators moulded into the

tread at several points.

Tyre and wheel safety

The tyres are the only contact between

the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-

tial to keep them in good condition. You

must make sure that your tyres con- -

form to local road traffic regulations.

When the tyre tread has been worn to

the level of the wear indicators, they

become visible 2: it is then necessary

to replace your tyres because the tread

rubber is no more than 1.6 mm deep,

resulting in poor roadholding 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.

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.

For your safety and to

comply with the law.

When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of the

same make, size, type and profile

should be used on a single axle.

They must: either have a load ca-

pacity and speed rating at least

equal to those of the original

tyres, or conform to those recom-

mended by an authorised dealer.

Failure to heed these instructions

could endanger your safety and

affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-

ness.

Risk of loss of control of the ve-

hicle.

5.13

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 af-

fixed 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, the normal

pressures must be increased by 0.2 to

0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Special note

Depending on the vehicle, there may

be an adapter which needs to be posi-

tioned on the valve before air is added.

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

monitoring system

If under-inflated (puncture, low pressure

etc.), the warning light

 lights up

on the instrument panel; please refer to

“Tyre pressure monitoring system” in

Section 2.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on the

“Emergency spare wheel” and in-

structions on “Changing a wheel” in

Section 5.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

TYRES (2/3)

Incorrect tyre pressures

lead to abnormal tyre wear

and unusually hot running.

These are factors which

may seriously affect safety and lead

to:

– poor road holding,

– risk of bursting or tread separa-

tion.

The pressure depends on the load

and the speed of use. Adjust the

pressure according to the condi-

tions of use (refer to the label affixed

to the edge of the driver’s door).

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing 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.

5.14

Use in winter

Chains

For safety reasons, fitting snow

chains to the rear axle is strictly for-

bidden.

Chains cannot be fitted to tyres which

are larger than those originally fitted to

the vehicle.

Snow or Winter tyres

We would recommend that these be

fitted to all four wheels to ensure that

your vehicle retains maximum adhe-

sion.

Warning: These tyres sometimes have

a specific direction of rotation and a

maximum speed index which may be

lower than the maximum speed of your

vehicle.

For safety reasons, this op-

eration must be carried out

by a specialist.

Fitting different tyres may

change your vehicle as follows:

– It may mean that your vehicle no

longer conforms to current regu-

lations;

– It may change the way it handles

when cornering;

– It may cause the steering to be

heavy;

– It may affect the use of snow

chains.

TYRES (3/3)

In all cases, we would recommend

that you contact an approved dealer

who will be able to advise you on

the choice of equipment which is

most suitable for your vehicle.

Changing a wheel

As the tyre pressure moni-

tor may take several min-

utes following driving to cor-

rectly determine the positions of the

wheels and the pressure values,

check the tyre pressures following

any operation.

18” wheels cannot be

fitted with chains.

If you wish to fit snow

chains, you must use spe-

cial equipment.

Consult an approved Dealer.

Studded tyres

This type of equipment may only be

used for a limited period and as laid

down by local legislation. It is neces-

sary to observe the speed specified by

current legislation.

These tyres must, at a minimum, be

fitted to the two front wheels.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)

To avoid all risk of sparks:

– Ensure that any electrical consumers

(courtesy lights, etc.) are switched

off before disconnecting or recon-

necting the battery.

– When charging, stop the charger

before connecting or disconnecting

the battery.

– Do not place metal objects on the

battery to avoid creating a short cir-

cuit between the terminals.

– Always wait at least one minute after

the engine has been switched off

before disconnecting a battery.

– Make sure that you reconnect the

battery terminals after refitting.

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger must be com-

patible with a battery with nominal

voltage of 12 volts.

Do not disconnect the battery when the

engine is running. Follow the instruc-

tions given by the manufacturer of

the battery charger you are using.

Special procedures may be

required to charge some

batteries. Contact your ap-

proved dealer.

Avoid all risk of sparks which may

cause an immediate explosion, and

charge the battery in a well-venti-

lated area. Risk of serious injury.

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.

The engine may be hot when car-

rying out operations in close prox-

imity. In addition, the engine cooling

fan can come on at any moment.

Risk of injury.

Before performing any

action in the engine com-

partment, the ignition must

be switched off by pressing

the engine stop button (please see

the information on “Starting, stop-

ping the engine” in Section 2).

5.29

Connect the positive cable A to the

support 1 on the (+) terminal, then to

the (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup-

plying the current.

Connect the negative cable B to the (–)

terminal 3 of the battery supplying the

current and then to the (–) terminal 4 of

the discharged battery.

Start the engine, and as soon as it starts

running, disconnect cables A and B in

reverse order ( 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 ).

Starting the vehicle using the

battery from another vehicle

If you have to use the battery from an-

other vehicle to start, obtain suitable

jump leads (with a large cross section)

from an approved dealer or, if you al-

ready have jump leads, ensure that

they are in perfect condition.

The two batteries must have an iden-

tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The

battery supplying the current should

have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which

is at least the same as that of the dis-

charged battery.

Ensure that there is no risk of contact

between the two vehicles (risk of short

circuiting when the positive terminals

are connected) and that the discharged

battery is properly connected. Switch

off your vehicle ignition.

Start the engine of the vehicle supply-

ing the current and run it at an interme-

diate engine speed.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (2/2)

Check that there is no con-

tact between leads A and B

and that the positive lead A

is not touching any metal

parts on the vehicle supplying the

current.

Risk of injury and/or damage to the

vehicle.

to the information on “Weights” in

Section 6).

Towing a vehicle with an

automatic gearbox

With the engine switched off, the trans-

mission is no longer lubricated. It is

preferable to tow this type of vehicle on

a trailer or tow it with the front wheels

off the ground.

Under exceptional circumstances,

you may tow the vehicle with all four

wheels on the ground, only going for-

ward, with the gear lever in the N posi-

tion, and for a distance not exceeding

50 miles (80 km).

If the lever is stuck in P,

even though you are de-

pressing the brake pedal,

the lever can be released

manually. To do this, insert a rigid

rod in the hole 2, press the rod and

unlocking button 1 located on the

cured inside the vehicle as

they may come loose under

braking.

– Use a rigid towing bar.

If a rope or cable is used

(where the law allows this),

the vehicle being towed

must be able to brake.

– A vehicle must not be towed if it is

not fit to be driven.

– Avoid accelerating or braking

suddenly when towing, as this

may result in damage being

caused to the vehicle.

– When towing a vehicle, it is ad-

visable not to exceed 30 mph

(50 km/h).

– Do not push the vehicle if the

steering column is locked.
