Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in 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 locking the
doors, for example.
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.
Never switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has
stopped completely. Once
the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as air bags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.

2.10
For manual gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
– and the clutch pedal is released. If the warning light
 flashes, this
means that the clutch pedal is not
sufficiently released;
– and the vehicle speed is less than approximately 1.86 mph (3 km/h).
STOP AND START FUNCTION (1/4)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automati-
cally when the vehicle is started. While
driving, the system stops the engine
(standby) when the vehicle is at a
standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights, etc).
Conditions for engine
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it
was parked;
For automatic gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in position D, M or N;
– and the brake pedal is pressed (suf-ficiently hard);
– and the accelerator pedal is not pressed;
– and the speed is zero for around 1 second.
The engine remains on standby if posi-
tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the handbrake engaged and
the brake pedal released.
If the engine is put in
standby, the electronic
parking brake (depending
on the vehicle) is not ap-
plied automatically.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
 on the
instrument panel).
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition (please see
section on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine”).
Engine on standby - power-
assisted steering is no
longer operational.
For all vehicles:
The warning light
 on the instru-
ment panel is lit when the engine is on
standby. The vehicle equipment re-
mains operational while the engine is
stopped.
Depending on the vehicle, when the
engine switches to standby, the steer-
ing assistance may no longer be opera-
tional.
In this case it becomes operational
again when the engine is no longer on
standby or the speed exceeds approxi-
mately 0.62 mph (1 km/h) (downhill,
slope, etc.).

2.12
STOP AND START FUNCTION (3/4)
Conditions preventing the
standby of the engine
Certain conditions prevent the system
from using the engine standby function,
including when:
for vehicles equipped with a
RENAULT card:
– the driver’s door is not closed;
– the driver’s seatbelt is not fastened.
for all vehicles:
– reverse gear is engaged;
– the bonnet is not locked;
– the outdoor temperature is too low or too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the difference between the vehicle interior temperature and the auto-
matic climate control instruction is
too high;
– parking distance control is in opera- tion; – for vehicles with automatic gear-
boxes, the gradient is steeper than
approximately 12%;
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see “Automatic Climate
Control” in Section 3);
– the engine temperature is too low;
– the emission control system is being regenerated;
– the Sport mode of the Multi-Sense is activated (depending on the vehicle);
– ...
Warning light
 is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
engine standby is not available.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function when per-
forming any operations in
the engine compartment.
Special case for vehicles with
a RENAULT card
With the engine on standby (traffic jam,
traffic lights, etc.), if the driver unfas-
tens the seat belt and opens the driv-
er’s door, or gets out of the seat, the
ignition is switched off.
The assisted parking brake is applied
automatically.
To restart and reactivate the Stop and
Start system, start the engine (please
refer to “Starting, stopping the engine”
in Section 2).
Special case of vehicles with
a key
With the engine on standby (traffic
jam, traffic lights, etc.), if you get out of
the vehicle, a beep warns you that the
engine is on standby and has not been
stopped.

2.17
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (1/3)
Note:
To indicate that the electronic parking
brake is released, a beep sounds and
the message “Apply parking brake” ap-
pears on the instrument panel:
– with the engine running: when the driver’s door is opened;
– with the engine switched off (eg. when the engine stalls): when a front
door is opened.
In this case, pull and release switch 2 to
apply the assisted parking brake.
Assisted release of the parking
brake
The brake will be released as soon as
the vehicle starts and accelerates.
Assisted operation
The electronic parking brake en-
sures vehicle immobilisation when the
engine is stopped and engine Start/
Stop button 1 is pressed.
In all other instances, e.g. engine stall-
ing, the electronic parking brake is not
applied automatically. Manual mode
must be used.
For certain country-specific model ver-
sions, the assisted brake application
function is not activated. Refer to the
information on “Manual operation”. To confirm that the electronic parking
brake is applied, the message “Parking
brake on” and warning light
}
on the instrument panel and warning
light 3 on the switch 2 light up.
After the engine is switched off, indi-
cator light 3 goes out several minutes
after the electronic parking brake has
been applied and indicator light
}
goes out when the vehicle is locked.Before leaving the vehi-
cle, check that the assisted
parking brake is fully ap-
plied. Warning light 3 on
switch 2 and warning light
}
on the instrument panel light up to
show that the parking brake is ap-
plied but go out when the doors are
locked.

Operating faults
– If there is a fault, the © warning
light illuminates on the instrument
panel accompanied by the “Check
parking brake” message and, in
some cases, the
} warning
light.
Please contact an authorised dealer
as soon as possible.
– If there is an assisted parking brake fault, the warning light
® comes
on, along with the message “Braking
system fault”, a beep and, in some
cases, the warning light
}.
This means that you must stop as
soon as traffic conditions allow.
Versions with an automatic
gearbox
For safety reasons, automatic release
is deactivated when the driver’s door
is open or not shut properly and the
engine is running (in order to prevent
the vehicle from moving without the
driver). The “Release parking brake
manually” message appears on the
instrument panel when the driver de-
presses the accelerator.
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (3/3)
It is therefore essential to
immobilise the vehicle by
engaging first gear (manual
gearbox) or position P (au-
tomatic gearbox). If the slope re-
quires it, chock the vehicle.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selec-
tor lever to position P or N.
This is because when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine
running and a gear engaged, the
vehicle may begin to move if you
accelerate.
There is a risk of accidents.If no lights or sounds are ap-
parent, this indicates a fault
in the instrument panel. This
indicates that it is essential
to stop immediately (as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow). Ensure that the
vehicle is correctly immobilised and
contact an approved Dealer.
In the event of message
“Electric failure DANGER”
or “Check battery”, manu-
ally activate the electronic
parking brake by pulling switch 2 (or
position the gear lever in P for au-
tomatic gearboxes) before stopping
the engine.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of the
vehicle.
Contact an authorised dealer.
