When driving on the motorway, the

in which the switch may be held when
changing lanes.
When the stalk is released, it automati-

and the side-mounted indicator lights
simultaneously. It must only be used in
an emergency to warn drivers of other
vehicles that you have had to stop in
an area where stopping is prohibited or
unexpected or that you are obliged to
drive under special conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard
warning lights may come on auto -

cornering lights
Depending on the vehicle, if the dipped
beam headlights are on when corner -
ing, and under certain driving condi -
tions (speed, steering wheel angle,
etc.), additional lights are switched on
to light the inside of the bend.
switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, move ring 3 to the OFF po-
sition;
– automatically, the lights are switched
off when the engine is switched off
or when the driver’s door is opened.
In this case, the next time the engine
is started the lights will be switched
back on according to the position of
the ring 3.
Lights-on warning buzzer
If the lights are on after the engine is
switched off, a warning beep sounds
when the driver ’s door is opened to
warn you that the lights are still on.
“see-me-home lighting”
function
This function (useful, for example, for
opening a gate, garage, etc.) enables
you to switch the dipped headlights on
momentarily.
With the engine and lights off and
ring 3 in the Off position , pull stalk 1
towards you: the dipped beam head -
lights light up for approximately thirty
seconds.
This action may be carried out no more
than ten times for a maximum lighting
period of ten minutes.
To switch off the lights before they go
out automatically, turn the ring on the
stalk 1 , then return it to the OFF posi -
tion.

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.

ENG_NU_977-2_H45_Ph2_Renault_2
ADvICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
– 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

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.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR (2/3)
Changing a wheel
The tyre pressure monitor takes ap -
proximately 8 minutes to identify the
tyres which have been replaced. The
system will not operate during this time.
Fitting tyres(replacing tyres or fitting winter
tyres)
Since replacing tyres requires special
precautions, we advise you to contact
your approved dealer.
While the tyre pressure
monitor is identifying the
tyres which have been re -
placed, the information sent
by the system may be inaccurate
and this could have serious conse-
quences.
Emergency spare wheel
The emergency spare wheel has no
sensor, and cannot be recognised by
the system.
When it is fitted in the place of another
wheel, the system then detects an op-
erating fault.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip -
ment (wheels, hubcaps, etc.).
Contact an approved dealer to fit new
tyres and to find out about available ac-
cessories compatible with the system
and available from your approved
dealer: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the
system or damage a sensor.
Display
If warning lights 1 and 2 light up on the
instrument panel, this indicates there
is a fault relating to the tyre pressure
(flat tyre, puncture, system malfunction,
etc.).
An explanation of the indicator lights,
signals and messages is given on the
following page.
