ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (2/4)
Special cases
When the vehicle is on an incline or
when towing a trailer, pull handle 2 for
approximately 3 seconds to fully apply
the parking brake.
Note: if the vehicle is not immobilised
despite fully applying the parking brake,
due to the steepness of the incline, the
message “Stop vehicle ” is displayed on
the instrument panel. The vehicle must
be parked elsewhere. Parking without applying the
parking brake
(if there is a risk of ice etc.):
–
Stop the engine by pressing the
engine on/off button 1;
– engage a gear (on vehicles with
manual gearboxes) or shift the gear
lever into position P (on vehicles with
automatic transmissions);
– simultaneously depress the brake
pedal and press switch 2 until indica-
tor light 3 goes out.
When the driver ’s door is opened, a
warning message will be displayed and
a beep sounds for around 5 seconds to
indicate that the parking brake has not
been applied.
Note: it is still possible to release the
parking brake as long as no door is
opened or closed and the vehicle is not
locked.

Operating faults
When indicator lights © and in cer-
tain cases
} light up on the instru-
ment panel accompanied by the mes -
sage “Check parking brake”, contact an
approved dealer urgently.
v ersions with an automatic
gearbox
For safety reasons, automatic release
is deactivated when the driver’s door
is open or not shut properly and the
engine is running (in order to prevent
the vehicle from moving without the
driver). The “Release manually parking
brake” message appears on the instru-
ment panel when the driver depresses
the accelerator.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selec -
tor lever to position P or N.
This is because when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine
running and a gear engaged, the
vehicle may begin to move if you
accelerate.
There is a risk of accidents.
It is therefore essential to
immobilise the vehicle by
engaging first gear (manual
gearbox) or position P (au -
tomatic transmission). If the slope
requires it, chock the vehicle.
If no lights or sounds are
apparent, this indicates
a fault in the instrument
panel. This indicates that it
is essential to stop immediately
(as soon as traffic conditions
allow). Ensure that the vehicle is
correctly immobilised and contact
an approved Dealer.

sential to stop immediately (as soon as
traffic conditions allow). Contact an ap-

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (4/4)
Indicator light © comes on accom-
panied by the message “ Check park-
ing brake ”. With the ignition on, simul -
taneously depress the brake pedal and
press switch 2. If they do not go off, do
not drive the vehicle and contact an ap-
proved dealer.

Never leave a child (or
animal) alone in the vehi -
cle with the RENAULT card
inside. They could acci -
dentally release the parking brake
which would enable the vehicle to
roll away.
The parking brake can be released. To
release manually:
– remove the luggage compartment
carpet and the emergency spare
wheel cover;
– insert wheelbrace 4 into loop 6 and,
for vehicles without amplifier 7, press
on housing 5;
– pull (movement B ) or push (move -
ment C ) the top of wheelbrace 4
until the parking brake is heard to re-
lease.
This control cannot be used to reap-
ply the parking brake.
Before releasing the park -
ing brake manually, it is es-
sential to immobilise the ve-
hicle by engaging first gear
(manual gearbox) or shifting to po -
sition P (automatic transmission). If
the slope requires it, chock the vehi-
cle. If it is not possible to immobilise
the vehicle, do not operate the lever
and contact an approved Dealer.
A reminder can be found on the

Advice: antipollution and fuel economy
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.Aiding fuel economyDepending 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:
\ shift up a gear;
[ shift down a gear.
MaintenanceIt 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. 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: this does not require adjust -
ment.
– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele-
ment reduces performance. It must
be replaced.

– 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, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– 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.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.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi -
ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
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.
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.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals

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%.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door
calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
–
In vehicles fitted with air condi -
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es -
pecially in urban 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:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo -
ments 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 ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.

ENvIRONMENT
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 cata -
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter pre -
vents 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 (vehi -
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter -
ies, 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 legis -
lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed 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 re -
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu -
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
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 eco² group signature.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
an industrial site which uses a progress
policy to reduce environmental impacts
on rivers and natural areas (reduc -
tion of water and energy consumption,
visual and noise pollution, atmospheric
emissions and waste water, sorting and
reusing waste).

Tyre pressure monitor
TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR (1/3)
This system monitors the tyre pressure.
The pressures must be adjusted
when the tyres are cold.
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure.
The system informs the driver via the
trip computer and warning system 1
that the tyres are sufficiently inflated
and warns if they are underinflated or
leaking.
1
This function is an addi -
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig -
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
The operation of the tyre pressure
monitor may be affected by using
devices near the vehicle which op -
erate on the same frequency.
In this case, the system indicates a
drop in tyre pressure under normal
conditions.
The operation of the tyre pressure
monitor may be affected if snow
chains are fitted to the tyres or if the
tyres are stuck in snow.
Changing a wheel
Depending on use, the
system may take several
minutes for the new wheel
positions and pressures to be rec -
ognised; check the tyre pressures
after all operations.
