éHazard warning lights 
Press switch 2.
This switch activates all four direction 
indicators and the side 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-
matically under heavy deceleration. 
You can switch them off by pressing 
switch 2 once.
Direction indicators
Move stalk 1  parallel to the steering 
wheel and in the direction you are going 
to turn it.
One-touch mode
When driving, it is possible that the 
steering wheel may not be turned suf-
ficiently to return the stalk automatically 
to its starting position.
In this case, move the stick 1  to half-
way, then release it: the stalk returns to 
its original point and the indicator light 
flashes three times.

Starting with the boot open in 
hands-free mode
In this case, the RENAULT card must 
not be located in the luggage compart-
ment.
Remote control RENAULT 
card
When you get into the vehicle, insert 
the RENAULT card integrated key, 
pointing towards you, fully into the card

Special features
vehicles with an automatic gearbox
The lever should be in position  P.
All vehicles
–  If one of starting conditions is not ap- plied, the message “PRESS BRAKE 
+ START” or “PRESS CLUTCH + 
START” or “SELECT PARK” is dis-
played on the instrument panel; 
–  in some cases it will be necessary  to move the steering wheel while 
pressing the start button  1 to help 
unlock the steering column; the mes-
sage “TURN STEERINGWHEEL + 
START” warns you.
–  in the event of starting the engine  in very low exterior temperatures 
(lower than -10°C): hold down the 
clutch pedal until the engine starts.

Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
–  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.
–  Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive  with a light right foot.
–  Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
  You should always use the highest  gear possible.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only 
use mats adapted to the ve-
hicle that attach to the pre-
installed parts, and regularly check 
their mounting. Do not place several 
mats on top of each other.
There is a risk of wedging the 
pedals
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/5)
–  Avoid sudden acceleration.
–  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.

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)
1
If fitted on the vehicle this system warns 
the driver of pressure loss in one or 
several tyres.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency 
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures 
the tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light 
 1  comes on to 
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punc-
tured tyre, etc.).
Resetting the standard level 
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
–  when the standard tyre pressure  needs to be changed to adapt to 
usage conditions (empty, carrying a 
load, motorway driving, etc.);
–  after swapping a wheel (however  this practice is not recommended);
–  after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking 
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when 
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the 
current usage of the vehicle (empty, 
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
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.

Note:
The standard tyre pressure cannot be 
less than that recommended and indi-
cated on the door frame.
Display
The display 2 on the instrument panel 
informs you of any tyre pressure faults 
(flat tyre, punctured tyre, etc.).
ADJUST TYRE PRESSURE
Warning light 
 comes on, along 
with the message “ADJUST TYRE 
PRESSURE”. 
These indicate that at least one tyre is 
flat.
Check and, if necessary, readjust the 
pressures of the four wheels when cold. 
The warning light 
 goes off after a 
few minutes’ driving. PUNCTURE
The warning light 
 comes on 
steady, accompanied by the message 
“PUNCTURE” and a beep.
They indicate that at least one wheel 
is punctured or severely underinflated. 
Replace it or contact an authorised 
dealer if it is punctured. Top up the tyre 
pressure if the wheel is deflated.
This message is accompanied by the 
warning light 
®.
Warning light ® re-
quires you to stop immedi-
ately, for your own safety, 
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Resetting procedure
With the ignition on:
–  repeatedly press button  3 or 4  to 
select the “LEARNING THE TYRE 
PRESSURE” function on the dis-
play 2;
–  press and hold (around 3 seconds)  button  3 or 4  to start initialisation. 
Display of the message “PRESSURE 
REF ONGOING” indicates that the 
reset request for the tyre pressure 
reference value has been taken into 
account.
Reinitialisation is carried out after a few 
minutes’ driving.
The sudden loss of pressure in a 
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (3/3)
CHECK TYRE PRESSURE 
SENSORS
The warning light 
 flashes for 
several seconds, then stays on, along 
with the message “CHECK TYRE 
PRESSURE SENSORS”.
This message is accompanied by the 
warning light 
©.
They indicate that at least one tyre is 
not fitted with sensors (e.g. emergency 
spare wheel). In other cases, contact 
an authorised dealer.
Readjustment of tyre 
pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted 
when cold  (please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked 
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures must be increased 
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI). Never deflate a hot tyre.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.). 
Please see the information on “Tyres” 
in Section 5.
Contact an approved Dealer to fit new 
tyres and to find out about available ac-
cessories compatible with the system 
and available from your dealer net-
work: the use of any other accessory 
could affect the correct operation of the 
system or damage a sensor.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency spare wheel, it will not have a 
sensor. When it is fitted on the vehicle, 
the warning light 
 flashes for sev-
eral seconds, then stays on, together 
with the warning light 
©  and the 
message “CHECK TYRE PRESSURE 
SENSORS” appears on the instrument 
panel.
Tyre repair product and 
inflation kit
Because the valves are specially de-
signed, only use equipment approved 
by the approved network. Please refer 
to the information on “Tyre inflation kit” 
in Section 5.
