2015 RENAULT SCENIC engine

1.16
Heated seats(depending on vehicle)
With the engine running, turn control 6
to either position 1, 2 or 3 (depending
on the temperature required). The mes-
sage “Heated activated” will appear on
the instrument panel once the front seat
heating system is operating.
The system, which has a thermostat,
decides whether or not the heating is
needed, according to the position se-
lected.
FRONT SEATS WITH MANUAL CONTROL (2/2)
Table function
Depending on the vehicle, the passen-
ger seatback may be folded down onto
the seat base to create a table.
Lower the headrest if necessary, tilt
handle 5 and completely lower the
seatback.
65
When the front seat is in
table position, the front pas-
senger air bag must be dis-
abled (see information on
“Activating/deactivating the front
passenger air bag” in Section 1).
Risk of serious injury caused by
items resting on the seatback table
which may be dislodged when the
air bag is deployed.
The label (on the dashboard) and
the markings (on the windscreen)
remind you of these instructions.
For your safety, attach any
transported objects when
the seat is in the table po-
sition.

1.17
DRIVER’S SEAT WITH ELECTRIC CONTROLS
Switch 4 is used for adjusting the seat
base and switch 3 is used for adjusting
the seatback. On equipped vehicles,
buttons 2 store the chosen driving posi-
tion (refer to the following page).
Adjusting the seat positionTo move the seat forwards or back
Move switch 4 forwards or backwards. To raise or lower the seat base
Move switch 4 upwards or downwards.
Adjusting the seatbackTo tilt the seatback, move the top of
switch 3 forwards or backwards.

on the driver’s seat
Raise or lower handle 5 to increase or
decrease the support.
Heated seats(depending on vehicle)
With the engine running, turn control 1
to either position 1, 2 or 3 (depending

For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
We would advise you not to recline
the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as such
objects may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.
Make sure that the seat-
backs are correctly locked
in place.

SEAT BELTS (2/3)
Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 3 locks into
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull- ing on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.
ßDriver’s seat belt reminder
and, depending on the vehi-
cle, front passenger seat belt re-
minder
This lights up on the instrument panel
when the engine is started, then, if the
driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt
(if this seat is occupied) is not fastened
and the vehicle has reached approxi-
mately 12 mph (20 km/h), it flashes and
a bleep sounds for around 120 sec-
onds.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning
light in some cases.
Rear seat belt reminder (depending
on vehicle)
Warning light
ß lights up and, de-
pending on the vehicle, it is accompa-
nied by a message on the instrument
panel for approximately 30 seconds
each time the vehicle is started, a door
is opened or a rear seat belt is fastened
or unfastened. Check that the rear pas-
sengers are wearing seat belts and that
the number of seat belts shown as fas-
tened corresponds to the number of
rear seat places occupied.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both \
the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection
system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If se\
at belts
are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in\

the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superfi\
cial injuries
occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are\
always
possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Shocks to the underbod\
y of the
vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these \
systems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air
bag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except
by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidenta\
l trig- gering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel
may work on the air bag system.
– As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle \
has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and\
hand over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal o\
f the gas generator(s).
Operating faults
å This warning light comes on
when the engine is started and then
goes out after approximately three sec-
onds.
If it does not come on when the ignition
is switched on or if it stays on, there is a
fault in the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.
Your protection will be reduced until this
fault is rectified.
All of the warnings below are given
so that the air bag is not obstructed in any
way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused
by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same
as falling a distance of
10 metres. Transporting a
child without a restraint is the equi-
valent of allowing him or her to play
on a fourth-floor balcony without
railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the “Child
safety” device (refer to the
information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

1.49
STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
Operating faults
The steering may become stiff when
driving or when the steering wheel is
turned repeatedly. This is due to the
power assistance overheating. In this
case, it must be allowed to cool down.Power-assisted steering
Variable power-assisted steering
The variable power-assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Adjusting the steering wheel
height and depth
Pull lever 1 and move the steering
wheel to the required position.
Then, push the lever back fully, beyond
the point of resistance to lock the steer-
ing wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Never leave the steering wheel at
full lock while stationary.
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.
