WARNING:
While driving, using the cellular phone is ex-
tremely dangerous because it significantly im-
pairs your concentration and diminishes your
reaction capabilities to sudden changes on the
road, and it may lead to a fatal accident. This
applies to all phone call situations such as when
receiving an incoming call, during a phone
conversation, when calling through the phone
book search, etc.
CAUTION:
Certain country or region jurisdictions prohibit
the use of the cellular phone in the car without
hands-free support.
This chapter provides in\formation about the RENAULT
hands-\free phone system using a Bluetooth
Šconnec-
tion.
Bluetooth
Šis a wireless radio communication stan-
dard. This system o\f\fers a hands-\free \feature \for your
cellular phone to enhance driving com\fort.
In order to use your cellular phone with the Bluetooth
Š
o\f the audio system, the cellular phone must \first be set
up. Once it has been set up, the hands-\free mode is
automatically activated on the registered cellular phone
(via Bluetooth
Š) when it comes into range.
A noti\fication message appears on the audio display
when the phone is connected, when an incoming call
is being received, as well as when a call is initiated.
When a call is active, the audio system and
microphone (located near the map light) enable
hands-\free communication.
I\f the audio system is in use at the time, the radio, CD,
or AUX source mode will be muted and will stay muted
until the active call has ended.
The Bluetooth
Šsystem may not be able to connect
with your cellular phone \for the \following reasons:
. The cellular phone is too \far away \from the vehicle.
. The Bluetooth
Šmode on the cellular phone has
not been activated.
. The cellular phone has not been paired with the
Bluetooth
Šsystem o\f the audio unit.
. The cellular phone does not support BluetoothŠ
technology (BT Core v1.2, \bands Free Pro\file v1.0
and Object Push Pro\file v1.0) . NOTE:
For details, see the cellular phone’s owner’s
manual.
\bands-\free phone setup
To set up the BluetoothŠsystem to pair with (connect
or register) a pre\ferred cellular phone, push the
button, select the BluetoothŠkey, and then push the
TUNE/MENU/ENTER dial. It is also possible to display
the set up menu directly by pushing the
button.
. Pair Device
Bluetooth
Šcellular phones can be paired with the
system. A maximum o\f 5 cellular phones can be
registered.
. Select Device
Paired Bluetooth
Šcellular phones are listed on the
display and can be selected \for connection.
. Delete Device
A registered Bluetooth
Šcellular phone can be
deleted.
. Bluetooth
I\f this setting is turned o\f\f, the connection between
the Bluetooth
Šdevices and the in-vehicle Blue-
toothŠmodule will be cancelled.
When success\fully paired, a noti\fication message will
be displayed. During the connection the \following
status icons will be displayed (top le\ft o\f display):
Signal strength (
) , Battery status () and
BluetoothŠ().
*: I\f the low battery message comes on, the BluetoothŠ
device must be recharged soon.

5-4Starting and driving
.Keep the back door closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gas could be drawn into
the passenger compartment. If you must
drive with the back door open, follow these
precautions:
— Open all the windows.
— Turn the air recirculation mode off and
set the fan speed control to the highest
level to circulate the air.
. If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions must pass to a trailer through the seal
of the back door or the body, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
. If a special body or other equipment is
added for recreational or other usage, follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation to pre-
vent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may
also generate carbon monoxide.)
. The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever:
— Your vehicle is raised while being ser-
viced.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident involving damage to the exhaust system, under-
body, or rear of the vehicle.THREE-WAY CATALYST (gaso\fine engine
\bode\f)
WARNING:
. The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are
very hot. Keep people, animals and flam-
mable materials away from the exhaust
system components.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
wastepaper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.
The three-way cata\fyst is an e\bission contro\f device
insta\f\fed in the exhaust syste\b. Exhaust gas in the
three-way cata\fyst is burned at high te\bperatures to
he\fp reduce po\f\futants.
CAUTION:
. Do not use leaded gasoline. (See “Recom-
mended fuel/lubricants and capacities” (P.9-
2) .) Deposits from leaded gasoline seriously
reduce the ability of the three-way catalyst
to help reduce exhaust pollutants and/or
damage the three-way catalyst.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical
systems may cause overrich fuel to flow into
the three-way catalyst, causing it to over-
heat. Do not keep driving if the engine
misfires, or if noticeable loss of performance
or other unusual operating conditions are
detected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly by a RENAULT dealer.
. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the three-way
catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warming it up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the
engine.

INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
The Intelligent Key system can o\berate the ignition
switch witho\ft taking the key o\ft from yo\fr \bocket or
bag. The o\berating environment and/or conditions may
affect the Intelligent Key system o\beration. Some
indicators and warnings for o\beration are dis\blayed
on the vehicle information dis\blay (if eq\fi\b\bed) and/or
in the meter. (See “Vehicle information dis\blay” (P.2-
20) and "Warning/indicator lights and a\fdible remin-
ders".)
CAUTION:
.Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you
when operating the vehicle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key inside the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

Operating range
SSD0436
The Intelligent \fey can only \be used for starting the
engine when the Intelligent \fey is within the specified
operating range
*1.
When the Intelligent \fey \battery is almost discharged
or strong radio waves are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent \fey system’s operating range
\becomes narrower and may not function properly.
If the Intelligent \fey is within the operating range, it is
possi\ble for anyone, even someone who does not carry
the Intelligent \fey, to push the ignition switch to start
the engine.
. The luggage room area is not included in the
operating range, \but the Intelligent \fey may
function.
. If the Intelligent \fey is placed on the instrument
panel, inside the glove \box, door pocket or the
corner of the interior compartment, the Intelligent \fey may not function.
. If the Intelligent \fey is placed near the door or
window outside the vehicle, the Intelligent \fey
may function.
