Operating faults
In case of a fault when closing a
window, the system reverts to normal
mode: pull the switch as many times as
necessary until the window closes com-
pletely, hold the switch (still on the clo-
sing side) for around one second, then
completely lower then raise the window
to reset the system.
If necessary, contact an approved
Dealer.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS (2/2)Remote control window
closing
(vehicles with 4 one-touch electric win-
dows).
When you lock the doors from the out-
side, press the locking button on the
RENAULTcard twice in quick suc-
cession, or on the driver’s door in
hands-free mode, and all the windows
will close automatically (and, depen-
ding on the vehicle, the sunroof).
It is recommended that the user only
operates the system when the vehi-
cle can be seen clearly and no one is
inside.
When closing the windows,
ensure that no part of the
body (arm, hand, etc.) is
protruding from the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.
One-touch mode
This mode works in addition to the ope-
ration of the electric windows described
previously.
Briefly press or pull the window switch
fully: the window is fully lowered or
raised. Pressing the switch again stops
the window moving.
Note: if the window detects resistance
when closing (e.g.: branch of a tree,
etc.) it stops and then lowers again by a
few centimetres.

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 pro-
perly 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 immedia-
tely after it has rained or immediately
after washing the vehicle.
When closing the sunroof,
ensure that no part of the
body (arm, hand, etc.) is
protruding from the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.
Special features
Your vehicle is fitted with an anti-pinch
facility: when the sunroof encounters
resistance whilst closing (arm, tree
branch etc.), it stops and then moves
back a few centimetres.
After closing the sunroof by remote
control, pressing button 2 allows the
sunroof to return to its previous posi-
tion.

ters an obstacle, the movement stops
of its own accord. You will then have
to manually fold back the seat after re-
moving the obstacle.
Operating fault
If all user conditions have been ful-
filled and the folding action still fails to
operate, please contact an authorised
dealer.
When moving the rear
seats, ensure that nothing
obstructs the anchorage
points (passenger’s arm or
leg, a pet, gravel, cloth, toys, etc.).
