2015 RENAULT ESPACE Arm

1.99
Before any action involving
the windscreen (washing
the vehicle, de-icing,
cleaning the windscreen,
etc.) return stalk 1 to position B
(stop).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
In the event of obstacles present
on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice,
etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu-
ding the central area located behind
the interior rear-view mirror) and
the rear screen before starting the
wipers (risk of motor overheating).
If an object is preventing a blade
from moving, it may stop functio-
ning. Remove the obstacle and
reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.
WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (4/6)
Note:
Once the wipers have been switched
off, at least 1 minute after locking the
vehicle, it is possible to manually move
the blades. Do not force the blade arms
to move. This may risk damage to the
wiper motor, the arms and the blades.
After your intervention, to reposition the
blades correctly, make sure the blades
are resting on the windscreen, switch
on the ignition and activate the wiper
control.
The blade on the driver’s side must
always be above the passenger blade.
If this is not the case, a quick sweep of
the windscreen wipers should be per-
formed once the vehicle is travelling at
over 4 mph (7 km/h).
Specific front wiper position
(service position)
This position enables the blades to be
lifted to remove them from the winds-
creen.
This can be useful:
– to clean the blades;
– to release the blades from the winds-creen in winter;
– to replace the blades (please refer to the information on the “Wiper
blades” in Section 5).
With the ignition on and the engine off,
lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully
(fast continuous wipe position). The
wiper arms stop in a position away from
the bonnet.
To return the blades to position, make
sure they have been placed on the
windscreen, then move the stalk to po-
sition B (stop) with the ignition on.
Before switching on the ignition,
place the wipers on the windscreen.
Otherwise, there may a risk of damage
to the bonnet or the wipers when they
are switched on.

Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the winds- creen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.
YRear screen wiper
With the ignition on, turn ring 3
on stalk 1 to align the symbol with
mark 2.
– stop;
– intermittent wiping. The wipers will pause for several
seconds between sweeps. Wiping
frequency varies with vehicle
speed;
– slow continuous wiping. To stop the operation, pivot ring
3 again.
Note:
When washing using a roller type car
wash, return the ring 3 on the stalk 1
to the stop position to deactivate auto-
matic wiping.
Follow usage recommendations.
Before any action involving
the rear screen (washing
the vehicle, de-icing, clean-
ing, etc.) return stalk 1 to
the stop position.
Risk of injury and/or damage.

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.
– Dynamic driving with a lot of frequent acceleration and braking is expen-
sive on fuel in comparison to the time
saved.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
– 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 flat ground. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
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
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/5)
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.

ELECTRIC SUNROOF (2/3)Closing the sunroof by
remote control
(depending on the vehicle)
If you press the locking button on
the card twice in quick succession
RENAULT,, the windows and the elec-
tric sunroof will close automatically.
It is recommended that the user only
operates the system when the vehi-
cle can be seen clearly and no one is
inside.
Precautions during use
– Vehicle with loaded roof bars.
As a general rule, if there is a load
on the roof, use of the sunroof is not
recommended.
Before using the sunroof, check the
objects and/or accessories (bike
racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to
the roof bars: they should be prop-
erly arranged and secured and
should not interfere with the opera-
tion of the sunroof.
Contact an approved dealer for de-
tails of possible conversions;
– check that the sunroof is properly
closed before leaving your vehicle;
– clean the seal every three months using products recommended by our
Technical Department;
– do not open the sunroof immedi-
ately after it has rained or immedi-
ately after washing the vehicle.
Closing the sunroof can
cause severe injuries.
Special features
If the window detects resistance when
closing (e.g.: arms, branch of a tree,
etc.) it stops and then lowers again by a
few centimetres.
After closing the sunroof by remote
control, pressing button 2 allows the
sunroof to return to its previous posi-
tion.
