DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (4/4)
Hill start assistance
This function assists the driver when
starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle
from rolling backwards, depending on
the slope, by automatically applying the
brakes when the driver lifts his/her foot
off the brake pedal to depress the ac -
celerator pedal.
System operation
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral (other
than N or P for automatic transmis -
sions) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed)
The system holds the vehicle for ap -
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then gradually released (the vehicle will
move according to the slope).
The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all sit -
uations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-
cle from rolling backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

Automatic climate control
AuToMATIc clIMATE coNTRol (1/5)
Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passen -
ger compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme condi -
tions), whilst optimising consumption.
The system controls the ventilation
speed, air distribution, air recircula -
tion, and starting and stopping the air
conditioning and air temperature. This
mode consists of a choice of three pro-
grammes:
A uTo : allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending on
the exterior conditions. Press button 3.
SoFT: gently brings the temperature to
the desired comfort level. The comfort
level is then maintained gently and si -
lently. Press button 2.
FAST: increases the operation of the
system to reach the desired comfort
level more quickly. Use this programme
when you have passengers in the rear.
Press button 4.

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.

Electric windows
Press or pull the switch to raise or lower
a window to the desired height (the rear
windows do not open fully);
one-touch mode
This mode works in addition to the
operation of the electric windows de -
scribed previously. It either operates on
the front windows only, or on all the win-
dows.
Briefly press or pull the window switch
fully: the window is fully lowered or
raised. Pressing the switch again stops

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.

– 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
into the catch.
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).
Risk of serious injury.

tyre Pressure KIt (3/3)
– affix driving recommendation label 9
to the dashboard where it can easily
be seen by the driver;
– store the kit;
– start the engine straight away and,
after driving a maximum of approx -
imately 2 miles (3 kilometres) or
10 minutes , stop and check the
pressure using the inflation kit. If it is
above 1.3 bar, adjust it to the rec -
ommended pressure (refer to the
label affixed to the edge of the driv-
er’s door), otherwise contact an ap-
proved dealer: repair is not possible.
n ote: after using the inflation kit, you
should visit an approved Dealer to re -
place the inflation hose and the bottle
of repair product.Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi -
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed 48
mph (80 km/h). The sticker, which
you must affix in a prominent posi -
tion on the dashboard, reminds you
of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
tyre pressure kit will need to be re-
placed.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver ’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.

Once the tyre is inflated correctly:
– stop using the kit;
– close the integrated cap on the bottle
again;
– disconnect adapter 8;
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make
the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them
fully.
