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.
In frosty weather, make sure that
the wiper blades are not stuck by ice
(risk of motor overheating).

hicle door is open and the card is
outside the vehicle (for example
when the driver gets out to open the
garage door): the engine continues

panel. The warning light flashes on
emergency card reader 3 and a beep
sounds when the vehicle is restarted

may be affected by interference
from nearby devices, such as exte -
rior installations or equipment oper -
ating on the same frequency as the

When you leave your vehi -
cle, especially if you have
your RENAULT card with
you, check that the engine
is completely switched off.
