Risk of seat moving on its runners during vehicle acceleration or braking.

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.

Make sure that the seatbacks are correctly locked in place.

SEAT BELTS (1/2)

Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.

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

Seat belts which are incorrectly adjusted or twisted 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.

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 safety reasons, the top of the headrest must be level with the top of the head.
• Adjust the position of the steering wheel.

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

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.

Shoulder strap 1 must be as close as possible to the base of the neck.

Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the thighs and against the pelvis.

The seat belt should be worn so that it is as close as possible to your body, i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects under the belts, etc.

SEAT BELTS (2/2)

Locking

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly and ensure that buckle 3 locks into catch 5 (check that it is locked by pulling on buckle 3).

If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again.

If your seat belt becomes completely jammed:

• pull the belt slowly but firmly so that just over 3 cm unwinds;
• then allow the seat belt to rewind automatically;
• unwind it again;
• if there is still a problem, contact an approved Dealer.

Front seat belt reminder warning light

This comes on when the engine is started, then, if the driver's or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened (if this seat is occupied) and the vehicle has reached approximately 10 mph (15 km/h), it flashes and a bleep sounds for around 2 minutes.

Note: an object placed on the passenger seat base may activate the warning light in some cases.

Unlocking

Press button 4 on buckle 5 and the seat belt will be rewound by the inertia reel.

Guide the buckle to help the operation.

Rear seat functions:

Refer to the information on the "Rear seats: functions" in Section 3.

Check that the rear seat belts are positioned and operating correctly each time the rear seats are moved.

SEAT BELTS

pwing information applies to the vehicle's front and rear seat belts.

• No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their mountings) fitted originally. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats) contact an approved Dealer.

• Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.

• Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.

• Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
• The belt should never be twisted.
• Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
• When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.
• Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
• Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly secured.

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

These are:

• pretensioners;
• force limiters;
• air bags for driver and front passenger;
• side air bags (depending on vehicle).

These systems are designed to operate independently or together in the event of a front, side or rear impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger:

• seat belt locking;
• the buckle pretensioner (which engages to correct seat belt slack);
• the air bags.

Interior view of a car seat assembly with visible seatbelt and seatbelt device (no text or symbols)

Pretensioners

With the ignition switched on, if the vehicle is subjected to a significant frontal impact the system may, depending on the severity of the impact, trigger piston 1 which instantly retracts the belt.

The pretensioners hold the seat belt against the body, holding the occupant more securely against the seat, thus increasing the seat belt's efficiency.

- Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.

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

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

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

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.

Air bags for driver and front passenger

Fitted to the driver and passenger side.

The presence of this equipment is indicated by the word "Air bag" on the steering wheel and the dashboard (air bag zone A) and a label on the lower part of the windscreen or on the sun visor.

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;
• a shared computer, which includes the impact detector and the monitor controlling the electrical trigger system for each of the gas generators;
  – depending on the vehicle, an additional side impact detector;

- a single warning light on the instrument panel.

Close-up of a car's front panel showing the hood and vent, with no visible text or symbols.

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, superficial grazing to the skin or other problems.

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

Medical illustration of a car interior with a seated seat and chair, showing internal components like legs, torso, and spine (no text or symbols)

Operation

The air bag system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.

If a severe frontal impact occurs, the air bag(s) deploy(s) rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver's head and chest against the steering wheel and the front passenger's head against the dashboard. The air bag then deflates immediately so that passengers are not impeded in any way when they get out of the vehicle.

Control panel interface with icons and a numbered label pointing to a person silhouette

Operating faults

This warning light 2 will light up on the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on and then go out after a few seconds.

If it does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or comes on continuously when the engine is running, there is a fault in the system.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be reduced until this fault is rectified.

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

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is deployed and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag deploys.

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 systems 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 Section 1 "Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag").

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 control units, 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 RENAULT Network personnel may work on the pretensioner and air bag system.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side air bags

These air bags may be fitted to the front seats and are deployed at the sides of the seats (door side) to protect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.

A marking on the seat informs you of the presence of this device.

Curtain air bags

These air bags may be fitted along the top of each side of the vehicle and are triggered along the front and rear side windows to protect passengers in the event of a side impact.

A marking on the interior trim above the side windows informs you of the presence of this device.

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 signed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) 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.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is deployed and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag deploys.

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. The air bag and the seat belt are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt 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 pretensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside of the vehicle from pavements, holes, stones etc. can all trigger these systems.

• No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the driver or passenger air bag system (air bags, pretensioners, electronic unit, wiring harness, etc., except by qualified RENAULT network personnel);
• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified RENAULT 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 RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)

Carrying children

Children, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehicle are your responsibility.

A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection. Use an approved child seat and ensure you use it correctly.

To prevent the doors being opened, use the “Child safety” device (refer to the information on “Opening

and closing the doors" in Section 1).

A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres.

Transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a 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.

Driver's responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle

Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or by locking the doors.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

Using a child seat

The level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to restrain your child and on its installation. Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact.

Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations for the country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an approved dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle.

Before fitting a child seat, read the manual and respect its instructions. If you experience any difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Keep the instructions with the seat.

Set a good example by always fastening your seat belt and teaching your child:

– to strap themselves in correctly;
- to always get in and out of the car at the kerb, away from busy traffic.

Do not use a second-hand child seat or one without an instruction manual.

Check that there are no objects in the vicinity of the child seat which could impede its operation.

Never leave a child unattended in the vehicle.

Check that your child is always strapped in and that

the belt or safety harness used is correctly set and adjusted. Avoid wearing bulky clothing which could cause the belts to slacken.

Never let your child put their head or arms out of the window.

Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, especially if asleep.

Rear-facing child seats

A baby's head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this position as long as possible (until the age of 2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck.

Choose a bucket type seat for best side protection and change it as soon as the child's head is higher than the shell.

Forward-facing child seats

The child's head and abdomen need to be protected as a priority. A forward-facing child seat which is firmly attached to the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact to the head. Ensure your child travels in a forward-facing seat with a harness or buckle for as long as their size permits. Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.w

Booster cushions

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can travel using a booster seat, which will enable the seat belt to be adapted to suit his 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 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.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (1/3)

Choosing the attachment

There are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the ISOFIX system.

Attachment via the seat belt

The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact.

Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are respected.

Always check that the seat belt is correctly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.

Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front: the seat should remain firmly fixed.

Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting against a window.

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

The seat belt must never be twisted or the tension relieved. Never pass the shoulder strap under the behind the back.

Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges. If the seat belt does not operate normally, it will not protect the child. Consult an approved dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired.

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

Attachment using the ISOFIX system

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are approved in accordance with regulation ECE-R44 in one of the three following cases:

– 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 purchased for another vehicle, check that its installation is

authorised. Consult the list of vehicles which can be fitted with the seat from the equipment manufacturer.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (2/3)

32862 1 2

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

To ensure your child seat can be easily fitted and locked on rings 1, use access guides 2 on the child seat.

The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child seats with the ISOFIX

system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat belt or other objects to these anchorage points.

Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage points checked and replace your child seat.

Forward facing harness seats are only permitted if they are installed using an ISOFIX fitting and without a seat belt.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/4)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagram on the following page shows you how to attach a child seat.

The types of child seat indicated may not be available. Before using a different child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted.

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 the front seat

The laws concerning children travelling in this seat differ in every country. Consult the legislation in force and follow the indications on the diagram on the following page.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if authorised):

– lower the seat belt as far as possible;
- move the seat as far back as possible;
- gently tilt the seatback away from vertical (approximately 25^ ).

Do not change these settings after the child seat is installed.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: before installing a child seat in the front passenger seat, make

sure the air bag has been deactivated (refer to the information on "Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag" in section 1).

Forward facing harness seats are only permitted if they are installed using an ISOFIX fitting and without a seat belt.

In the rear side seat

A carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest the door.

Before installing a child seat, it is recommended that the rear seat be as far back as possible, ensuring, if required, that the floor support of the child seat is resting on the floor in accordance with the child seat instructions.

Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a child seat, then move back the seat or seats in front as far as possible without coming into contact with the child seat.

For the safety of the child in the forward-facing seat, do not move the seat in front back past the middle of the runner, do not tilt the seatback too far (maximum of 25^ ) and move the seat backwards as far as possible.

Check that the forward-facing child seat is resting against the back of the vehicle seat and that the headrest of the vehicle is not obstructing its use.

FUEL TANK (1/2)

26641 A B 1 2

Filling the tank

To open cover A, place your finger into recess B.

When filling, use the cap holder 1 on the cover A to secure the cap 2.

Useful capacity of the fuel tank: 40 litres approximately.

After filling, check that the cap and cover are closed.

Fuel grade

Use a high grade fuel with the appropriate octane rating as defined by the particular standards in force in your country.

Petrol versions

It is essential to use unleaded petrol. The octane rating (RON) must conform with the information given on the label inside cover A. Refer to the information on "Engine specifications" in Section 6.

Fuel filler cap: this is specific.

If you have to replace it, make sure it is identical

to the original cap. Contact an approved Dealer.

Never place the cap near a source of heat or flame.

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

Diesel version

It is essential to use diesel fuel that conforms with the information given on the label inside cover A.

Make sure that no water accidentally enters the fuel tank during filling. The sealing system and its surrounding area must be dust-free.

Do not mix even small amounts of petrol (unleaded or E85) with diesel.

Do not use ethanol-based fuel if your vehicle is not compatible with this fuel.

Do not add any additives to the fuel, you risk damaging the engine.

FUEL TANK (2/2)

Filling with fuel

Petrol versions

Using leaded petrol will damage the antipollution system and may lead to a loss of warranty.

To ensure the fuel tank is not filled with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler neck contains a restrictor fitted with a valve which only allows the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be used (at the pump).

• Insert the nozzle as far as it will go so that the valve is opened.
• Keep the nozzle in this position throughout the entire filling operation.

Petrol and diesel versions

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 sufficient space in the fuel tank to allow for expansion.

No modifications whatsoever are permitted on any part of the fuel supply system (electronic unit, wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protective covers, etc.) as this may be dangerous (unless undertaken by qualified Network personnel).

Persistent smell of fuel

If you notice a persistent smell of fuel you should:

• stop the vehicle as soon as traffic 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.

Driver's responsibility

Never leave your vehicle with the key inside the vehicle and never leave a child

(or a pet) unsupervised, even for a short while.

There is a risk that they could start the engine or operate electrical equipment (electric windows etc.) and trap part of their body (neck, arms, hands, etc.).

Risk of serious injury.

Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely. Once the engine has stopped, the brake servo, power-assisted steering, etc., and the passive safety devices such as air bags and pretensioners will no longer operate.

The steering is locked when the key is removed.

SPECIAL NOTES ON PETROL VERSIONS

The following operating conditions:

– driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit;
- using leaded petrol;
- using fuel or lubrication additives which are not approved.

Or operating faults such as:

• faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs resulting in the engine misfiring or cutting out when driving;
• loss of power,

may cause the catalytic converter to overheat, reducing its efficiency which may irreparably damage it and cause heat damage to the vehicle.

If you notice any of the above operating faults, have the necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible by an approved Dealer.

These faults may be avoided by regularly taking your vehicle to an approved Dealer at the intervals specified in the Maintenance Service Booklet.

Starting problems

To avoid damaging the catalytic converter, do not keep trying to start the engine (using the start button, or by pushing or towing the vehicle) without having identified and corrected the starting fault.

If the fault cannot be identified, do not keep trying to start the engine, but contact an approved Dealer.

Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such

as grass or leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.

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 antipollution system" is displayed on the instrument

panel accompanied by the

warning lights; consult an ap- dealer straight away.

Vehicle with particle filter

When driving, depending on the fuel grade used, it is possible that white smoke may be emitted.

This is due to the exhaust particle filter being cleaned automatically, and does not affect the way the vehicle runs.

Running out of fuel

If the tank has been completely drained, the system must be reprimed after the tank is refilled: see information on the "fuel tank" in Section 1 before restarting the engine.

Precautions to be taken in winter

To avoid faults in icy weather:

• Ensure that the battery is always fully charged;
• always keep the diesel tank relatively full to avoid water vapour condensing in it and accumulating at the bottom of the tank.

Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such

as grass or leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.

GEAR LEVER/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING

Car interior diagram with numbered annotations pointing to a keyway and dashboard components

Gear lever

To select reverse gear vehicle stationary

Vehicles with manual gearbox: return to neutral and follow the pattern on knob 1 or depending on vehicle, lift ring 2 against the gear lever knob in order to engage reverse gear. The reversing lights will come on as soon as reverse gear is selected (with the ignition on).

Vehicles with sequential gearbox: refer to the information on the "Quickshift gearbox" in Section 2.

An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: deformation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved dealer.

Power-assisted steering

Never drive with an inadequately charged battery.

Variable power-assisted steering (depending on vehicle)

It is equipped with a system which adapts the level of assistance to 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).

Operating faults

The steering can become stiff when driving. This is due to the power assistance overheating. In this case, it must be allowed to cool down.

During low speed manoeuvres with a high engine speed, the steering can become stiff. Power assistance returns when driving.

Never switch off the ignition when travelling downhill, and avoid doing so in normal driving (assistance is not provided).

HANDBRAKE

Interior view of a car dashboard and steering wheel (no visible text or symbols)

To release:

Pull the lever up slightly, press button 1 and then lower the lever to the floor.

The red warning light on the instrument panel will come on if you are driving with an incorrectly released handbrake.

Make sure that the hand-brake is properly released when driving (red indicator light off), otherwise over-, or even damage, may

To apply:

Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is properly immobilised.

Depending on the slope and/or vehicle load, it may be necessary to apply the brake by an additional two and to engage a gear (1st se) for manual vehicles.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)

By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle conforms to current antipollution regulations. The manufacturer is actively striving to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy. But the fuel consumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are also your responsibility. Ensure that it is maintained and used correctly.

Maintenance

It is important to remember that failure to respect antipollution regulations could lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel supply system and exhaust components with parts other than those originally recommended by the manufacturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.

Have your vehicle adjusted and checked by an approved Dealer, in accordance with the instructions given in your maintenance schedule: they will have all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.

Engine adjustments

• ignition: this does not require adjustment.
• spark plugs: for optimum fuel economy, efficiency and performance the specifications laid down by our Design Department must be strictly applied.

If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle's engine. Contact an approved dealer for this.

– idle: this does not require adjustment.
- air filter, diesel filter: a clogged element reduces performance. It must be replaced.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)

Exhaust gas monitoring system

The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle's antipollution system.

If this system malfunctions, toxic substances may be released into the atmosphere or damage may occur.

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

26569 +

Driving

• Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the vehicle is stationary.

• Speed is expensive.

• Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.

• Brake as little as possible. If you anticipate an obstacle or bend in advance, you may then simply release the accelerator pedal.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not overrev the engine in the intermediate gears.

Always use the highest gear possible without labouring the engine.

On versions with an automatic gear-box, it is preferable to keep the gear lever in position D.

• 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 depth of water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.

Driving problems

On the driver's side, only use mats adapted to the vehicle that attach to the pre-installed parts, and regularly check their mounting. Do not place several mats on top of each other.

Risk of pedals jamming.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)

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% .
• When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.

- For vehicles fitted with air conditioning, it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (especially in city 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:

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.

• Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.
• Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
• It is better to fit a trailer for bulky objects.

26528 + -

- Avoid using the vehicle for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits in between) because the engine never reaches its normal operating temperature.

Tyres

• An under-inflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
• The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

ENVIRONMENT

Your vehicle has been designed with respect for the environment in mind for its entire service life: during production, use and at the end of its life.

This commitment is illustrated by the Renault eco ^2 group signature.

31016

Manufacture

Your vehicle has been manufactured at an industrial site which uses a progress policy to reduce environmental impacts on rivers and natural areas (reduction of water and energy consumption, visual and noise pollution, atmospheric emissions and waste water, sorting and reusing waste).

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 catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor and an active carbon filter (the latter prevents 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 (vehicle battery, oil filter, air filter, batteries, etc.) and oil containers (empty or filled with used oil) must be disposed of through specialist organisations.

• At the end of the vehicle's service life, it should be sent to approved centres to ensure that it is recycled.
  – In all cases, comply with local legislation.

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95% recoverable.

To achieve these objectives, many of the vehicle components have been designed to enable them to be recycled. The materials and structures have been carefully designed to allow these components to be easily removed and reprocessed by specialist companies.

In order to preserve raw material resources, this vehicle incorporates numerous parts made from recycled plastics or renewable materials (vegetable or animal-derived materials such as cotton or wool).

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICE

Depending on the vehicle, this is composed of:

• ABS (anti-lock braking system);
• electronic stability program (ESP) with understeer control and traction control (ASR);
• emergency brake assist.

These functions are an additional 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 responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

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 vehicle can be steered to avoid an obstacle whilst braking. In addition, this system can increase stopping distances, particularly on roads with low surface grip (wet ground, etc.).

You will feel a pulsation through the brake pedal each time the system is activated. The ABS does not in any way improve the vehicle's physical performance relating to the road surface and roadholding. It is still essential to follow the rules of good driving practice (such as driving at a safe distance from the vehicle in front).

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

Operating faults:

• If indicator lights light up on the braking is still without ABS;

instrument panel, operational but

- If indicator lights

and Ⓔ are displayed on instrument panel when driving, indicates there is a fault with taking system and ABS.

In both cases, consult an approved Dealer.

Your braking systems are partially operational. However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and

it is essential to stop immediately, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Contact an approved dealer.

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICE (continued)

Electronic stability program (ESP) with understeer control and traction control (ASR)

Warning light 📄 on the instrument panel flashes when the function starts operating.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

This system helps you to keep control of the vehicle in critical driving conditions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip on a bend, etc.).

Operating principle

A sensor in the steering wheel detects the direction selected by the driver.

Other sensors throughout the vehicle measure the actual direction.

The system compares the direction selected by the driver and the actual direction of the vehicle and corrects this as necessary by applying the brakes selectively and/or acting on the engine power.

Understeer control

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

Traction control (ASR)

This system helps to limit wheelspin of the drive wheels and to control the vehicle when pulling away accelerating or decelerating.

Operating principle

Using the wheel sensors, the system measures and compares the speed of the drive wheels at all times and slows down their over-rotation. If a wheel is starting to slip, the system brakes automatically until the drive supplied becomes compatible with the level of grip under the wheel again.

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

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICE (continued)

Special note on vehicles with a Quickshift gearbox

When driving on some roads with low surface grip (grass, snow, mud, etc.), the system may reduce the engine output to limit wheelspin. If this is not required, it is recommended to switch to manual mode on the Quickshift gearbox (using the gear lever).

Operating faults

When the system detects an operat-

ing fault the warning lights

appear on the instrument panel.

In this situation, ESP and ASR are de-activated.

Consult an approved dealer.

Emergency brake assist

This is an additional system to ABS which helps reduce vehicle stopping distances.

Operating principle

The system detects an emergency braking situation. In this case, the braking assistance immediately develops maximum power and may trigger ABS regulation.

ABS braking is maintained as long as the brake pedal is not released.

Hazard warning lights switching on Depending on the vehicle, these may light up in the event of sudden deceleration.

Driving

When a limited speed has been stored and this speed is not reached, driving is similar to driving a vehicle without the speed limiter function.

Once you have reached the stored speed, no effort on the accelerator pedal will allow you to exceed the programmed speed except in an emergency (refer to information on "Exceeding the limit speed").

Varying the limit speed

You can vary the limit speed by pressing switch 2 (+) repeatedly to increase the speed or switch 3 (-) to decrease it.

Exceeding the limit speed

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

Whilst the speed is being exceeded, the cruising speed displayed on the instrument panel flashes.

Then, release the accelerator pedal: the speed limiter function will return as soon as you reach a speed lower than the stored speed.

Limited speed cannot be maintained

When driving down a steep gradient, the system is unable to maintain the limit speed: the memorised speed will flash on the instrument panel information display to inform you of this situation.

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

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

Interior view of a car dashboard and steering wheel (no visible text or symbols)

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 additional driving aid. However, the function does not take the place of the driver.

Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the driver's responsibility to respect speed limits and to be vigilant (the driver must always be ready to brake).

Cruise control must not be used in heavy traffic, on winding or slippery roads (black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).

There is a risk of accidents.

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.

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded at any time by depressing the accelerator pedal. While it is being exceeded, the cruising speed flashes on the instrument panel.

Then, release the accelerator: after a few seconds, the vehicle will automatically return to its set cruising speed.

Cruising speed cannot be maintained

When driving down a steep gradient, the system is unable to maintain the cruising speed: the stored speed will flash on the instrument panel information display to inform you of this situation.

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

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

②3 4 5 33086

Putting the function on standby

The cruise control function is suspended when you press:

• press switch 4 (O);
• the brake pedal;
• depress the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has a Quickshift gearbox.

In all three cases, the cruising speed is stored. The speed appears between brackets on the display and the box around the indicator light goes out to confirm the function is on standby.

Returning to the cruising speed

If a speed is stored, it can be recalled, once you are sure that the road conditions are suitable (traffic, road surface, weather conditions, etc.). With the vehicle speed above 20 mph (30 km/h), press switch 5 (R).

When recalling the stored speed, activation of the cruise control is confirmed by the illumination of the strip around the indicator light.

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 is suspended, pressing switch 2 (+) or 3 (-) reactivates the cruise control function without taking into account the stored speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account.

Switch on the ignition.

The display on the instrument panel switches on. If neutral (N) is displayed, start the engine but do not depress the accelerator.

If a gear other than neutral (N) is displayed, it will flash; starting is possible if you depress the brake pedal (indicator light 4 will come on if you forget) when holding the key in the starting position.

The gear will automatically change to neutral (N) and the engine will start.

You may also select neutral after switching on the ignition by pushing the lever to the right whilst depressing the brake pedal.

When the engine is running, automatic mode will be selected by default.

Note: if the display does not light up when the ignition is switched on (discharged battery), do not attempt to start the engine by pushing the vehicle.

Starting

The display shows N (neutral) and A (automatic mode).

Forwards gear

• With the brake pedal depressed, push the selector lever forwards and release it (the number 1 will appear on the display);
  – release the brake pedal and accelerate gently to move forwards.

Reverse

• With your foot on the brake pedal, push the selector lever towards the right and backwards, and then release it.
  Reverse gear is engaged (letter R appears on the display).
• release the brake pedal then accelerate gently to move backwards. The engine's idle speed is sufficient for parking manoeuvres.

When the vehicle is stationary, push the selector lever towards the front to engage a forwards gear.

④ A

Shifting to neutral

With the brake pedal depressed, push the lever to the right.

Note: when the vehicle is stationary, you must depress the brake pedal to engage or disengage a gear. Otherwise, warning light 4 will light up.

The oil level in the automatic gearbox system reservoir is variable depending on use. Adding oil is strictly forbidden (except by qualified approved network personnel).

QUICKSHIFT GEARBOX (3/5)

Driving in automatic mode

Each time the ignition is switched on, automatic mode is selected by default (letter A on the display).

The vehicle is controlled using the accelerator and the brake. Gears will change automatically at the correct moment and at a suitable engine speed because automatic mode takes into consideration the road surface and the chosen driving style.

You may change the gear selection made by the automatic system (unless this risks the engine being overrevved or underrevved):

- by pushing the lever forwards or backwards.

You can stop the vehicle at red lights, with the gear engaged, by pressing the brake pedal; there is no need to change to neutral.

Changing mode

You can change mode at any time by pushing the lever to the left. This switches mode without changing gear.

Driving in manual mode

Using the selector lever

Pushing the lever repeatedly allows you to change gears manually:

• To change up a gear: push the lever forwards;
• to change down a gear: push the lever backwards;
• to change to neutral: with the brake pedal depressed (indicator light 4 will come on if you forget), push the lever towards the right.

Note: when the vehicle is stationary (braking, red light, etc.), the system automatically switches to first gear.

By pushing the lever forwards twice you can move up two gears at a time (unless this causes low engine speeds). By pushing the lever backwards twice you can move down two gears at a time (unless this causes overrevving).

Note: neutral may only be selected when the vehicle is being driven or is stationary when the brake pedal is depressed (if you forget, warning light 4 will light up).

Accelerating and overtaking

To obtain maximum vehicle performance, in automatic or manual mode, quickly depress the accelerator pedal beyond the kickdown point.

This will activate the kickdown function allowing you to change down to the most suitable gear.

If the engine is being overrevved or underevved, the system will select the optimal gear.

To park the vehicle with a gear engaged (on a slope, for example): before switching off the engine, check that a gear other than N is displayed on the instrument panel.

The next time the engine is started, depress the brake pedal. The vehicle will then automatically change to neutral (letter N on the display).

Audible warning

If you hold the vehicle on a slope for too long without applying the brakes or handbrake you will strain the system and there is a risk that the clutch will overheat.

In this case, an intermittent beeping sound will remind you that you should put your foot on the brake pedal or apply the handbrake.

Never leave the vehicle with the engine running when in gear. For safety reasons you will hear an intermittent beeping sound when you open the door if you have not shifted into neutral or you have not switched off the ignition or depressed the brake pedal.

An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: deformation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved

Dealer.

QUICKSHIFT GEARBOX (5/5)

Operating faults

When driving, if this warning light comes on together with

warning light 📄, this indicates a system fault. In most cases, you may still drive the vehicle, although it will not function perfectly. Contact an approved dealer as soon as possible.

The vehicle will not start

If you cannot start the engine and if the battery is not discharged (display lit up):

• Switch on the ignition;
• select neutral;
• push the vehicle or roll it down a sufficiently steep slope. Then push the selector lever forwards.

The optimum gear for starting the engine will then be automatically selected.

Note: never attempt this manoeuvre in reverse.

Towing the vehicle

If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:

• Switch on the ignition;
  – select neutral with the brake pedal depressed;
• check that the gearbox is in neutral (by pushing the vehicle, for example).

If you cannot find neutral you must tow the vehicle with the front wheels raised.

The vehicle should always be towed with the ignition switched off.

Air recirculation mode

Pressing button 14 activates air recirculation (the symbol lights up on the display).

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 driving in polluted areas, etc.).

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 normal mode (external air or automatic recirculation) as soon as air recirculation is no longer needed, by pressing button 14.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use

Fuel consumption

It is normal to notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially in towns) when the air conditioning is operating. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.

In order to minimise consumption and help to protect the environment, it is recommended to 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.

Note

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

Maintenance

Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for the inspection frequency.

Operating faults

As a general rule, contact your approved Dealer in the event of an operating fault:

– reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance. 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.

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

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)

A well-maintained vehicle will last for longer. It is therefore recommended to regularly maintain the vehicle exterior.

Protection against the effects of corrosive agents

Although your vehicle has been treated with very effective anti-corrosion products, it nevertheless remains subject to the effects of:

- corrosives in the atmosphere

– atmospheric pollution (urban and industrial areas);
– saline atmosphere (near the sea, particularly in hot weather);
- seasonal and damp climatic conditions, (e.g.: road salt in winter, water from road cleaners, etc.).

- abrasives

wind-borne dust and sand, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles, etc.

- minor impacts.

You should take a minimum number of precautions in order to safeguard your vehicle against such risks and not to lose the benefit of your vehicle's anti-corrosion protection.

What you should not do

• Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures.
• Scrape off mud or dirt without prewetting.
• Allow dirt to accumulate.
• Allow rust to form following minor impacts.
• Use solvents not approved by our Technical Department to remove stains as this could damage the paintwork.
• Drive frequently in snow or muddy conditions without washing the vehicle, particularly under the wheel arches and body.

- Degrease or clean mechanical components (e.g. engine compartment), underneath the body, parts with hinges (e.g. fuel filler cap, inside of filler flap, sunroof, etc.) and painted external plastic fittings (e.g. bumpers) using high-pressure cleaning equipment or using spray products not approved by our Technical Department. If adequate precautions are not taken, this could give rise to corrosion or operational faults.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)

What you should do

- Wash your vehicle frequently, with the engine off, using cleaning products recommended by us (never use abrasive products), taking special care to rinse off:

• spots of tree resin and industrial grime;
• bird droppings, which contain chemicals that rapidly discolour paintwork and may even cause the paint to peel off;

Wash the vehicle immediately to remove these marks since it is impossible to remove them by polishing;

• salt deposited in the wheel arches and the underneath the body after driving in areas where the roads have been gritted;

• mud in the wheel arches and underneath the body which forms damp patches.

• Observe the vehicle stopping distances when driving on gravelled surfaces to prevent paint damage.

• Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas where the paint has been damaged, to prevent corrosion spreading.
• Remember to visit the body shop periodically if your vehicle has an anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle.

• Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your vehicle on a public highway).

• Before going through a roller type car wash, return the windscreen wiper stalk to park position (refer to Section 1: "Windscreen wash/wipe"). 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.

• Spray mechanical components, hinges, etc. with products approved by our Technical Department to protect them after they have been cleaned.

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

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)

A well-maintained vehicle will have a longer service life. It is therefore advisable to maintain the vehicle interior regularly.

Stains should always be dealt with quickly. Whatever type of stain is on the trim, use soapy water (if possible, warm water) containing:

Do not use detergents (washing up liquid, powdered products, alcohol-based products, etc.).

Use a soft cloth.

Glass instrument panel

(e.g.: instrument panel, clock, exterior temperature display, radio display).

Use a soft cloth or cotton wool.

If this does not clean it properly, use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly moistened with soapy water and then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool.

Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.

Cleaning products containing alcohol must not be used under any circumstances.

Seat belts

These must be kept clean.

Use products selected by our Technical Department (Approved outlets) or warm, soapy water and a sponge and wipe with a dry cloth.

Detergents or dyes must not be used under any circumstances.

Fabrics (seats, door trim, etc.)

Dust fabrics regularly.

Liquid stains

Use soapy water. Absorb or dab lightly (never rub) using a soft cloth, then rinse and absorb the excess water.

Solid or thick stains

Remove any excess solid or thick material immediately and carefully using a spatula (from the edge inwards to avoid spreading the stain).

Clean using the procedure for a liquid stain.

Special instructions for sweets or chewing gum

Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify it, then proceed as for a solid stain.

For advice on interior maintenance and/or on unsatisfactory results, contact an approved dealer.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)

Removing/refitting factory fitted removable equipment in the vehicle

If you need to remove equipment to clean the passenger compartment (e.g. mats), always make you refit it properly and on the correct side (driver's side mats must be fitted on the driver's side, etc.), using retaining components supplied with the equipment (e.g. the driver's side mat must always be secured using prefitted retaining devices).

In all cases, with the vehicle stationary, ensure that nothing can hinder driving (obstacle underneath the pedals, heel trapped by the mat, etc.).

What you should not do

You are strongly advised not to place items such as air fresheners, perfume etc. near the air vents as these could damage the dashboard fittings.

You are strongly recommended not to use high-pressure or spray cleaning equipment inside the pas-

senger compartment: this equipment could impair the correct functioning of the electrical or electronic components in the vehicle, or have other detrimental effects.

In the event of a puncture, depending on the vehicle, you will have:

An emergency spare wheel or tyre inflation kit (refer to the information on the following pages).

Emergency spare wheel 2

This is located in the luggage compartment. To access it:

• open the tailgate;
• lift the luggage compartment carpet 1 (or depending on vehicle, hook it to the bench seatback);

26887 ② ③ A ④

• remove the jack from its storage space A;
• unscrew the central mounting 4;
• remove the tool kit 3 lifting it from both sides;
• remove emergency spare wheel 2.

If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to that it is safe to use.

Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than 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 with the same dimensions as the original.
• When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wheel.
• Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cornering.
• If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (1/3)

32788

Close-up of a car tire with labeled points A and B indicating specific surface texture (no text or symbols beyond labels)

The kit repairs tyres when tread A has been damaged by objects smaller than 4 mm. It cannot repair

all types of puncture, such as cuts larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre sidewall B.

Ensure also that the wheel rim is in good condition.

Do not pull out the foreign body causing the puncture if it is still in the tyre.

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 repaired, where 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.

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 handling the repair liquid bottle. If droplets do leak out, rinse them off with plenty of water.

Keep the repair kit away from children.

Do not dispose of the empty bottle in the countryside. Return it to your approved dealer or to a recycling organisation.

The bottle has a limited service life which is indicated on its label. Check the expiry date.

Contact an approved dealer to replace the inflation tube and repair product bottle.

lights, apply the handbrake, ask all passengers to leave the vehicle and keep them away from traffic.

Do not pull out the foreign body causing the puncture if it is still in the tyre.

Open the kit, remove the caps 1 and 4 (it is essential not to remove the bursting disc from the bottle) and screw bottle 2 in place of cap 4.

With the engine running and the parking brake applied,

• unscrew the valve cap of the wheel concerned and screw on the inflation adapter 6;
• adapter 8 must be connected to the accessories socket on the dashboard of the vehicle;
• press switch 3 to inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (refer to the information on "Tyre pressure");
• after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on pressure gauge 5).

Note: while the bottle is emptying (approximately 30 seconds), the pressure gauge 5 will indicate briefly a pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure drops.

If the recommended pressure cannot be achieved, repair is impossible. Do not drive the vehicle. Consult an approved dealer.

If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle's presence

with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/3)

505A ③ ⑤ ⑦ ⑥

• adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit, to reduce it, press button 7 located on the inflation adapter.

Once the tyre is correctly inflated, remove the kit: slowly unscrew the inflation adapter 6 to prevent any repair product from escaping and screw the hose to the bottle opening to prevent 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 operation, air will still escape from the tyre. You must drive a short distance in order to seal the hole.

Start immediately and drive at between 12 and 40 mph (20 and 60 km/h) in order to distribute the product evenly in the tyre and, after driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and check the pressure.

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

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.

Precautions when using the kit

The kit should not be operated for more than 15 consecutive minutes.

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and lead sure loss.

Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them fully.

Following repair with the kit, do not travel further than 120 miles (200 km). In addition, reduce your speed and

under no circumstances exceed 48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker, which you must affix in a prominent position on the dashboard, reminds you of this.

Depending on the country or local legislation, a tyre repaired with the inflation kit may need to be replaced.

TOOL KIT

32993 ① ② ③

Tool kit 3 is located in the emergency spare wheel. It consists of a set of tools for various operations on the vehicle: a jack and wheelbrace, towing hitch, etc., and a space for a spare bulb box.

The tools included in the tool kit depend on the vehicle.

Storage compartments 2

This is for storing four wheel bolts.

Wheelbrace 4

This is used to tighten or release the wheel bolts.

Towing hitch 7

Refer to the information on "Towing" in Section 5.

Hubcap tool 5 or 6

This tool is used to remove the wheel trims.

Jack 3

Remove jack 3.

When replacing the jack, fold it correctly and position the wheelbrace correctly before replacing it in its position.

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.

The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. It should never be used for repairs or gaining access to the underneath of the vehicle.

WHEEL TRIM - WHEELS

We would advise you to note the number engraved on the tool so that you can replace it if it is lost.

CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)

Diagram of car tire assembly with numbered parts and labeled components

33009

Start extending jack 2 by hand, turning the handle. Position the head correctly under vertical sill seam 3 nearest to the wheel concerned and marked by an oblong hole.

Continue turning the handle to position the baseplate of the jack on the ground correctly.

Turn a few times to lift the wheel off the ground, remove the bolts and take off the wheel.

Switch on the hazard warning lights.

Keep the vehicle away from traffic and on a level sur-

face where it will not slip (if necessary, place a solid support under the jack base).

Apply the handbrake and engage a gear (first or reverse).

Ask all the passengers to leave the vehicle and keep them away from traffic.

Vehicles equipped with a jack and wheelbrace

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.

Use the wheelbrace to slacken off the wheel bolts 1. Fit it so that you press downwards rather than pulling upwards.

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

To prevent any risk of injury or damage to the vehicle, only crank the jack until the wheel you are replacing is

a maximum of 3 centimetres off the ground.

CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)

Fit the emergency spare wheel on the central hub and turn it to locate the mounting holes in the wheel and 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 unscrew the jack.

With the wheel on the ground, tighten the bolts fully and have the tightness of the bolts checked (tightening torque: 105 Nm) and the emergency spare wheel pressure checked as soon as possible.

If you have a puncture, replace the wheel as soon as possible.

A tyre which has been punctured should always be inspected (and repaired, where possible) by a specialist.

Anti-theft bolts

If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these nearest the valve (otherwise it may not be possible to fit the wheel trim).

If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle's presence

with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.

TYRES (1/3)

Tyre and wheel safety

The tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the road, so it is essential to keep them in good condition.

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

When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the same make, size, type and profile should be used.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your approved dealer.

Technical diagram of a tire with labeled parts and an inset showing a cross-section of the tread pattern.

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 tread wear indicators 1 which are indicators moulded into the tread at several points.

When the tyre tread has been worn to the level of the warning strips, they become visible 2: it is then necessary to replace your tyres because the tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at most, resulting in poor road holding on wet roads.

An overloaded vehicle, long journeys by motorway, particularly in very hot weather, or continual driving on poorly surfaced minor roads will lead to more rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

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.

TYRES (2/3)

Tyre pressures

Tyre pressures must be adhered to (including the emergency spare wheel). Pressures must be checked at least once a month and always before a long journey (refer to the information on "Tyre pressures").

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;

– the risk of blow-outs or of throwing a tread.

Tyre pressures depend on the load and the driving speed. Adjust the pressures according to the conditions of use. (Refer to the information on "Tyre pressures").

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.

Note: a label (depending on country or model) fixed to the edge or frame of the driver's door gives the recommended tyre pressures.

Please be aware that a missing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss.

Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them fully.

Fitting new tyres

For safety reasons, this operation 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 regulations;
- 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.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

Emergency spare wheel

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

TYRES (3/3)

Use in winter

- Chains

For safety reasons, fitting snow chains to the rear axle is strictly forbidden.

Chains must not 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 adhesion.

Note: we would point out that these tyres may sometimes have:

• a specific direction of rotation
• a maximum speed index which may be lower than the maximum speed of your vehicle.

- Studded tyres

This type of equipment may only be used for a limited period and as laid down by local legislation.

It is necessary to observe the speed specified by current legislation.

These tyres must, at a minimum, be fitted to the two front wheels.

Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle.

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.

BATTERY: troubleshooting

To avoid all risk of sparks:

• Ensure that any consumers are switched off before disconnecting or reconnecting 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 circuit between the terminals.

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger should be compatible with a battery with nominal voltage of 12 Volts.

With the engine off, it is essential to disconnect the leads connected to both battery terminals, starting with the negative terminal.

Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using.

Only a fully charged and well-maintained battery will have a long and useful service life and enable you to start the vehicle's engine normally.

The battery must be kept clean and dry.

Have the battery's charge status checked regularly:

• especially if you use your vehicle for short journeys or for frequent driving in town;
• when the exterior temperature drops (in winter), the charge decreases. In winter, only use the electrical equipment that is really necessary;
• finally, you should understand that the charge decreases naturally as a result of certain permanent electrical consumers such as the clock, after-sales accessories, etc.

When many accessories are fitted to the vehicle, have them connected to the + after ignition feed. In this case, it is advisable to have your vehicle fitted with a battery which has an increased nominal capacity. Contact an approved Dealer. If your vehicle is to be left stationary for a relatively long time, disconnect the battery or have it recharged regularly, particularly during cold weather. The equipment with a memory, radio, etc. will then have to be reprogrammed. The battery must be stored in a cool dry place, protected from frost.

Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact an approved Dealer.

Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion, and charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. Risk of serious injury.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)

Starting the vehicle using the battery from another vehicle

Proceed as follows when starting your vehicle from another vehicle's battery:

Obtain suitable jump leads (large) from an approved Dealer or, if you already have jump leads, ensure that they are in perfect condition.

The two batteries must have an identical 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 discharged 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 supplying the current and run it at an intermediate engine speed.

33006 ① - ④ A B ③ ② +

Attach positive lead (+) A to the + terminal 1 of the discharged battery, then to the + terminal 2 of the battery supplying the current.

Attach negative lead (−) B to the – terminal 4 of the battery supplying the current, then to the – terminal 3 of the discharged battery.

As soon as it is running, disconnect leads A and B in the reverse order (4-3-2-1).

Start the engine as you would normally.

Check that there is no contact 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.

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 carrying out operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.

Risk of injury.
