Cruise control
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (1/4)
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
This function is an addi -
tional driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum -
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake). Cruise control
must not be used in heavy traffic, on
undulating or slippery roads (black
ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during
bad weather (fog, rain, side winds
etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Limit speed activation, storage and
increase switch (+).
3 Decrease cruising speed (-).
4 Switch the function to standby
(with memorisation of the gov -
erned cruising speed) (O).
5 Activation with recall of stored gov-
erned cruising speed (R).

Parking distance control
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil -
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the
front or rear bumper depending on the
vehicle, measure the distance between
the vehicle and an obstacle whilst re -
versing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 25 centi -
metres from the obstacle.
PARkING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/3)
Front parking distance
control
(depending on vehicle)
Operation
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
Most objects located less than approx -
imately 60 centimetres away from the
front of the vehicle are detected and a
beep is emitted.
Automatic activation/deactivation of
the front parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the electronic parking brake is
applied;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
– when the vehicle is stationary for
more than approximately five sec -
onds and an obstacle is detected
(such as when in a traffic jam etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or
when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes;

PARkING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/3)
Rear parking distance control
Operation
When reversing, most objects located
less than approximately 1.5 metres
away from the rear of the vehicle are
detected and a beep is emitted.
If there are obstacles located close to
both the front and rear of the vehicle,
only the closest of the two will be ac -
knowledged and the corresponding
front or rear beep sound will be emit -
ted. If obstacles are detected both to
the front and to the rear of the vehicle at
the same time, and they are both less
than 30 centimetres away from the ve-
hicle, the corresponding front and rear
beeps will be emitted alternately.

Automatic activation/deactivation of
the rear parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the electronic parking brake is
applied;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
– when the vehicle is stationary for
more than approximately five sec -
onds and an obstacle is detected
(such as when in a traffic jam etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or
when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes.
An impact to the under -
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik -
ing 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 ap -
proved Dealer.

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
AIR coNDITIoNINg: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
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:
Drive with the air vents open and
the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in -
spection frequency.operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault:
– reduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning perform-
ance. This may be caused by the
passenger compartment filter
cartridge becoming clogged;
– no cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, venti-
lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you
may notice that condensation starts
to form on the windows and wind -
screen.
If there is condensation, use the
“clear View” function to remove it,
then use the air conditioning in auto-
matic mode to stop it forming again.
If the condensation does not clear,
use the FAST programme.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Note
Presence of water under the ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the ve -
hicle. This is caused by condensa -
tion.

These systems operate with the igni -
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
From the driver’s seat, use switch:
1 for the driver’s side;
2 for the front passenger side;
3 and 5 for the rear passenger win-
dows.
From the passenger seats, use
switch 6.
Note: if the window detects resistance
when closing (e.g.: fingers, branch of
a tree, etc.) it stops and then lowers
again by a few centimetres.

Safety of rear occupants
The driver can disable op -
eration of the electric win -
dows and, depending on
the vehicle, the rear doors, by
pressing switch 4 . The indicator
light integrated in the switch lights
up to confirm that the locks have
been activated.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the
RENAULT card inside and never
leave a child (or a pet) unsuper -
vised, even for a short while. They
may pose a risk to themselves or to
others by starting the engine, acti -
vating equipment such as the elec-
tric windows or by locking the doors.
If any part of the body becomes
trapped, reverse the direction of the
window immediately by pressing the
relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.

Sunroof
– open the sun blind
– To open slightly: turn button 9 to
position A;
– To open fully: turn button 9 to po -
sition B , C or D , depending on the
opening position required;
– To close: turn button 9 to position 0.
Sun blind
– to open: push handle 7 upwards
and guide the blind as it retracts;
– to close: pull handle 7 until it clicks

Special noteYour vehicle is equipped with an antip-
inch facility: when the sunroof encoun -
ters resistance whilst closing, (some -
body’s fingers, etc.) it stops and then
moves back several centimetres.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
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 engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.
If a body part gets trapped, reverse
the direction of travel as soon as
possible by turning button 9 fully to
the right (position D).

as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
BA tteR y
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status. If the level drops, the message
“Battery low start engine ” is displayed
on the instrument panel. In this case,
start the engine. Then the message
“ Battery charging ” appears on the in -
strument panel for the duration of the
charging time.
The charge status of your battery can
decrease especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– after extended use of consumers
(radio etc.) with the engine switched
off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.
