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

ELECTRIC WINDOWS, ELECTRIC SUNROOF (3/3)Precautions during use
– 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 the vehicle has been in
the rain or after your car has been
washed.
– Vehicle with 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 your approved Dealer for
details of possible conversions.

the system reverts to normal mode:
pull the switch concerned up as often
as necessary to fully close the window
(the window will close gradually), hold
the switch (still on the closure side) for
three seconds then lower and raise the
window fully to reinitialise the system.
If necessary, contact your approved
Dealer.

cle can be seen clearly and no one is
inside.
Note: locking the doors using the
RENAULT card deactivates hands-free
mode.
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.
If the vehicle is equipped
with this function, this action
will activate deadlocking.
