This Driver’s Handbook contains the information necessary:
– for you to familiarise yourself with your vehicle, to use it to its best advantage and to benefit fully from the all the functions and
the technical developments it incorporates.
– to ensure that it always gives the best performance by following the simple, but comprehensive advice concerning regular main-
tenance.
– to enable you to deal quickly with minor faults not requiring specialist attention.
It is well worth taking a few minutes to read this handbook to familiarise yourself with the information and guidelines it contains
about the vehicle and its functions and new features. If certain points are still unclear, our Network technicians will be only too
pleased to provide you with any additional information.
The following symbol will help you when reading this handbook:
Welcome to your new vehicle
The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the technical specifications at the time of writing. This hand-
book covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the country where the vehicle is sold.
This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to be introduced later in the model year .
Throughout the manual, the “approved Dealer” is your RENAULT Dealer. To indicate a hazard, danger or safety recommendation.
Enjoy driving your new vehicle.

Advice on antipollution, fuel economy and driving
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life which will come
into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac -
turer is actively striving to reduce pol -
lutant 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 main -
tained and used correctly. Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
–
ignition: this does not require ad -
justment.
spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, 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 speed: this does not require ad-
justment.
– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged el-
ement hinders performance. It must
be replaced.
Aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, in order to
optimise consumption, an indicator light
on the instrument panel will inform you
of the best moment to upshift or down -
shift gears:
Š shift up a gear;
‰ shift down a gear.
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 manu -
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi -
ble without labouring the engine.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub -
stances may be released into the at -
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in -
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possi -
ble;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
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 sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad -
vance, simply release the accelera -
tor pedal.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver ’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.

Operating faults
– When driving, if the message
“Check gearbox” and the
©
warning light appear on the instru -
ment panel, this indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– When driving, if the message
“Gearbox overheating” appears on
the instrument panel, drive at a mod-
erate speed and avoid leaving the
lever in the D (or R) position, where
traffic conditions allow: always return
to the N position when you stop.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
AUTOMATIC GEARbOx (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– To move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (eg.:
engine protection, operation of the
Electronic Stability Program) the auto -
mated system may change the gear au-
tomatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu -
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
1
Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi -
tion D, keeping the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
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.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved
dealer.

AUTOMATIC GEARbOx (3/3)
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
select second gear manually before
starting the engine to avoid wheel -
spin when starting.
Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
Special circumstances
– Snow position: if you are driving on
ground where you are likely to skid
(snow, mud, etc.), press switch 4 ,
and operating tell-tale 5 will come
on.
Once these special driving con -
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 4
again. Operating tell-tale light 5
goes out.
4
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (eg. in the mountains), we rec-
ommend that you change to manual
mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gear repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling..

– air distribution;
– air recirculation management;
– air conditioning start/stop;
– the air temperature.Automatic mode
Press button 5 . The AUTO operating
tell-tale will come on.
The automatic climate control system

ger compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme condi -
tions), while optimising fuel consump -
tion.
