ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This prevents the engine being
started by anyone who does not
have the coded key for the vehicle.
Any operation on or
modification to the
immobiliser system
(computers, wiring, etc.)
may be dangerous. It must be
carried out by qualified Renault
personnel.
Operating principle
The vehicle is automatically
protected a few seconds after the
key has been removed from the
ignition.
When the ignition is switched on,
warning light1illuminates for a few
seconds then extinguishes.
The vehicle has recognised the code
and the engine may be started.
If the code of the ignition key is not
recognised by the vehicle, warning
light1will flash continuously and
the engine cannot be started.• System operation warning light
When the ignition is switched on,
warning light1illuminates for
approximately three seconds, then
extinguishes. The engine may then
be started.
• Vehicle protection warning light
A few seconds after switching the
ignition off, warning light1flashes
continuously.
The vehicle is only protected once
the key has been removed from the
ignition.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT
These are:
OFront seat belt pretensioners.
OForce limiter.
OAir bags for driver and front
passenger.
These systems are provided to act
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
There are three possibilities,
depending on the force of the
impact:
- protection is provided by the belt
only;
- the pretensioner is triggered to
rectify belt position and play;
- if the air bag and force limiter are
triggered, they provide additional
protection in the event of the most
severe impact.
OSide air bags
Areprovidedtoactivateinthe
event of a severe side impact.
Front seat belt pretensioners
The system is only operational once
the ignition has been switched on.
If the vehicle is subject to a
severefrontalimpact, piston1
immediately retracts the seat belt
buckle, pulling the seat belt tight
against the body and thereby
improving its efficiency.• Following an accident,
have all the restraint
systems checked.
• No operations whatsoever are
permitted on any part of the
pretensioner system (computer,
wiring).
• To avoid incorrect triggering
of the system which may
cause damage, only qualified
personnel of the Renault
Networkmayworkonthe
pretensioner system.
• Electrical testing of the trigger
system may only be carried
out by a specially trained
technician using special
equipment.
• When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact your Renault Dealer for
disposal of the gas generator.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
All the warnings given below are designed to ensure that the air bag can inflate correctly and to prevent serious injuries
caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.
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 the seat belt at all times. If the seat belt is not worn,
it exposes the occupants 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.
The air bag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if the
vehicle turns over.
Air bags for driver and passenger
• No work or modification whatsoevermay be performed on the entire air bag system for the driver and passenger
(computer, wiring, etc.) except by qualified Renault network personnel.
• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid incorrect 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, is stolen or
broken into.
• When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.
• When scrapping your vehicle, contact your Renault Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

FUEL TANK(continued)
Filling with fuel
Petrol version
Useunleaded fuel only.
Using leaded fuel will damage the
depollution equipment and may
lead to a loss of warranty.
To avoid the tank being filled with
leaded fuel, the filler neck has a
restrictor with a valvewhich only
allows an unleaded petrol nozzle to
be used(at the petrol pump).
- Insert the nozzle to open the valve,
asfarasitwillgo.
- Hold the nozzle in this position
while the tank is filled and then
release it.
Filling with fuel (continued)
Petrol and diesel versions
To allow room for expansion in the
fuel tank, do not top up more than
twice after the pump nozzle has cut
out automatically.
Any operation or
modification on the fuel
supply system (computers,
wiring, fuel circuit, in-
jector, protective covers...) is
strictly forbidden due to the
safety risks it may cause (except
for qualified staff from the
Renault network.
Persistent fuel odour
Your vehicle has a pressurised fuel
supply system. If a persistent fuel
odour should occur, please:
• stop the vehicle if traffic
conditions allow and switch the
ignition off;
• switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask all passengers to
leave the vehicle to keep them
away from the traffic;
• do not intervene or restart before
the vehicle has been checked by
qualified Renault network staff.
