AUTOMATIC OR CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– backwards to shift down the gears;
– forwards to shift up the gears.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, or electronic stability
control (ESC) operational etc.) the au-
tomatic system may change gear auto-
matically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent repeated gear
changes when climbing and will
enable engine braking on long de-
scents.
– In very cold weather, to avoid stall-
ing the engine, start the engine and
wait a few seconds before moving
the lever from position P or N to po-
sition D or R.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: to avoid wheelspin when
starting on a slippery or low grip sur-
face, change to manual mode and
select second gear before moving
off.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Depending on the vehicle, apply the
handbrake or check that the elec-
tronic parking brake is on (refer to
the information on the Parking brake in
Section 2).
In very cold weather, the system may prevent the gears from being shifted in
manual mode until the gearbox reaches the right temperature.
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.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (3/6)
Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
Use control 6 to increase or reduce the
ventilation speed.
In this case, automatic mode is
switched off.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Press button 4 to switch the air condi-
tioning on (indicator light on) or (indica-
tor light off).
Note: activating the “Clear View” func-
tion automatically activates the air con-
ditioning. Press button 3 to activate au-
tomatic mode again.

The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When the vehicle is started in cold
or hot weather, increasing or de-
creasing the values displayed does
not mean that the temperature is
reached more quickly. Whatever the
indicated temperature may be, the
system optimises the increase or
decrease in temperature (the venti-
lation system does not start instantly
at maximum speed: it gradually in-
creases until the engine tempera-
ture is sufficient, which may take
from a few seconds to several min-
utes).
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular fault, the dashboard air
vents should remain open.

Setting the air recirculation
mode
Pressing button 11 activates air recircu-
lation mode (the symbol lights up on the
display).
During recirculation, air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is re-
cycled, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation allows the passenger
compartment to be isolated from the
outside air (when driving in polluted
areas, etc.).Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air or automatic
recirculation) as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 11.
Flow of air from rear air
vents.
(depending on vehicle)
Repeatedly pressing buttons 13 or 17
enables the ventilation speed in the
rear seats to be modified, according to
three different settings:
– slow speed (indicator lights 14
and 18 on);
– fast speed (indicator lights 15 and 16
on);
– park.

Niveau huile moteur : g n ralit s (X45 - H45 - Renault) ENG_NU_1057-1_H45_Ph3_Renault_4
If the oil level reaches the minimum
mark: the message “Top up oil level”
appears on the instrument panel dis-
play.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information (1/2)
The display only warns the
driver if the oil level is at the
minimum level. It does not
inform the driver that the oil
level has exceeded the maximum
level as this can only be measured
using a dipstick.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact an approved Dealer if
more than 0.5 litres is being consumed
every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the
running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is at
its minimum.Oil level information on the
instrument panel
While starting the engine, press either 3
or 4 when the message “Checking con-
trol functions” appears.
if the level is above the minimum
level:
The “Oil level” message appears on the
display, accompanied by squares 1 in-
dicating the level. These squares dis-
appear as the level drops and they are
replaced by squares 2.
To advance to trip computer reading,
press button 3 or 4 again.

Glass instrument panel(e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior
temperature display, radio display, etc.)
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean it properly, use a
soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly mois-
tened with soapy water and then wipe
clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton
wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used under any cir-
cumstances.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
Textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or
pasty material immediately with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain. A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-
larly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim,
use cold (or warm) soapy water with
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow-
dered products, alcohol-based prod-
ucts) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.
For further recommendations for
maintaining the interior, and/or for
any unsatisfactory results, please
see an authorised dealer.

PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL
Emergency spare wheel 4This is located in the luggage compart-
ment. To access it:
– Open the tailgate, lift the floor
carpet 1, then remove the cover 2;
– unscrew mounting 3 by turning it an-
ticlockwise and remove it;
– if the vehicle is fitted with speaker 5,
remove the adhesive tape then place
it to the side;
– remove the emergency spare
wheel 4.
Vehicles fitted with an
emergency spare wheel
smaller than the four
other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emer-
gency spare wheel to the same
vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare
wheel as soon as possible with a
wheel with the same dimensions
as the original.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle,
which must only be a temporary
measure, the driving speed must
not exceed the speed indicated
on the label on the wheel.
– Fitting an emergency spare
wheel may alter the way the ve-
hicle usually runs. Avoid sudden
acceleration or deceleration and
reduce your speed when corner-
ing.
– If snow chains must be used, fit
the emergency spare wheel on
the rear axle in order to have a
normal size wheel at the front
then check the tyre pressure.
If the emergency spare
wheel has been stored
for several years, have it
checked by your Dealer to
ensure that it is safe to use.

Special note
The tyre pressure monitor does not
check the emergency spare wheel
(the wheel replaced by the emergency
spare wheel disappears from the instru-
ment panel display).
