ONE-TOUCH ELECTRIC WINDOWS
The one-touch mode works in addition
to the operation of the electric windows
described previously.
If it is fitted to the vehicle, it may be
fitted: to the driver’s window or to all
four windows.
Press switches 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7.
The system operates:
– with the ignition on;
– with the ignition off until one of the
front doors is opened (limited to ap-
proximately 20 minutes).

Safety of rear occupants
The driver can authorise operation of the rear doors and, depending on
the vehicle, the rear electric windows by pressing switch 4 . The inte -
grated indicator on the switch confirms this.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card or remote control 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 vehicle,
activating equipment such as the windows, or locking the doors. If a body part
gets trapped, reverse the direction of travel of the window as soon as possible by
pressing the relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.

Precautions during use
– Vehicle with loaded 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.
Contact an approved dealer for de -
tails of possible conversions;
– check that the sunroof is properly
closed before leaving your vehicle;
– clean the seal every three months
using products recommended by our
Technical Department;
– do not open the sunroof immedi -
ately after it has rained or immedi -
ately after washing the vehicle.1

Engine oil level/Engine oil change
enGIne oIL LeVeL: general information
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level 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.
o il change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and always
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil levelThe vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been stopped for a long time before -
hand to obtain an accurate reading.
Always use the dipstick to check the
exact oil level and ensure that the
maximum level is not exceeded (risk
of engine damage): refer to the infor-
mation on “Engine oil level/Topping-up/
Filling” on the following pages.
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is at
its minimum.
Reading the level on the instrument
panel
When the ignition is switched on:
If the level is above the minimum, the
display indicates ‘Oil level OK’: mes -
sage 1.
For more information: press button 3.
The squares which appear on the dis -
play indicate the level. These squares
disappear as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by dashes.If the level is at the minimum, the ‘Top
Up Oil Level’ message appears on the
display. The squares are replaced by
dashes: message 2.
Indicator light
ú comes on at the
same time.
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.

BAtter Y: troubleshooting (continued)
connecting a battery charger
t he battery charger must be com -
patible with a battery with a nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
It is essential to disconnect both bat -
tery leads from the terminals (engine
stopped) starting with the negative
terminal.
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.
Only a fully charged and well-main -
tained battery will have a long and
useful 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 electrical equip -
ment which 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 a large number of accessories
are fitted to the vehicle, have them con-
nected 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 regu
-
larly, 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 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.

BA tter Y: troubleshooting (continued)
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. Connect positive (+) lead A to (+) termi-
nal 1 of the discharged battery, then to
(+) terminal
2 of the battery supplying
the current.
Connect negative (–) lead B to (–) ter-
minal 3 of the battery supplying the cur-
rent and then to (–) terminal 4 of the
discharged battery.
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.
Start the engine as you would normally.
As soon as it is running, disconnect
leads A and B in the reverse order (4-
3-2-1).

Check that there is no con-

and that the positive lead A

parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
