STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with RENAULT card (3/3)
If the RENAULT card is no longer in the 
passenger compartment when you try 
to switch the engine off, the message 
“No keycard Press and hold” appears 
on the instrument panel: press the 
button 2 for longer than two seconds. 
If the card is no longer in the passen-
ger compartment, make sure you can 
retrieve it before pressing and holding 
the button. Without the card  RENAULT 
, you will not be able to start.
With the engine switched off, any ac-
cessories being used (radio, etc.) will 
continue to function for approximately 
10 minutes.
When the driver’s door is opened, the 
accessories stop working.
Conditions for stopping the 
engine
The vehicle must stationary, with the

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.

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.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/10)ABS (anti-lock braking 
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents 
the wheels from locking, allowing the 
stopping distance to be managed and 
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle 
whilst braking. In addition, this system 
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly on roads with low surface grip 
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the 
brake pedal each time the system is 
activated. The ABS does not in any way 
improve the vehicle's physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and 
roadholding. It is still essential to follow 
the rules of good driving practice (such 
as driving at a safe distance from the 
vehicle in front etc.).
– ABS (anti-lock braking system);
– ESC 
(electronic stability control) 
with understeer control and trac-
tion control;
–  emergency brake assist;
–  active emergency braking;
–  hill start assistance;
–  rear wheel steering.
Other driving assistance systems are 
detailed on the following pages.
In an emergency, apply firm and 
continuous pressure  to the brake 
pedal. There is no need to pump 
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking 
system.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of 
critical driving conditions, 
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving 
conditions.
However, the functions do not take 
the place of the driver. They do 
not increase the vehicle’s limits 
and should not encourage you 
to drive more quickly.  Therefore, 
they can under no circumstances 
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring 
the vehicle (the driver must always 
be ready for sudden incidents which 
may occur when driving). 

2.75
ASSISTED PARKING (3/4)
Your speed should not exceed around 
4 mph (7 km/h).
Once in position to exit the space, the 
system will notify you of the end of the 
manoeuvre.
Once the warning light 
	 on the 
instrument panel goes off and a beep 
sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-
pleted.
Suspending the manoeuvreThe manoeuvre is suspended in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
–  you take control of the wheel;
–  a door or the boot is opened;
–  the vehicle is at a standstill for too  long;
–  an obstacle in the direction of move- ment prevents the manoeuvre from 
being completed;
–  the engine will stop.
Once the warning light 
	 on the 
instrument panel goes off and a beep 
sounds, the manoeuvre has been sus-
pended. Then to resume the manoeu-
vre, press and hold the system activa-
tion switch. In this case, the reason for suspending 
the manoeuvre will be displayed on the 
multifunction screen.
Make sure:
–  you have released the steering wheel 
and;
–  that all doors and the boot are closed,  and;
–  that no obstacles are in the way of  the direction of movement, and;
–  that the engine is started.
Cancelling the manoeuvre
The manoeuvre can be stopped in the 
following cases:
– by pressing the system activation  switch;
– the vehicle speed has exceeded  4 mph (7 km/h);
–  You have performed more than ten  forwards/backwards movements in 
one manoeuvre;
–  the parking distance control sensors  are dirty or blocked;
–  the vehicle wheels have skidded.
Once the warning light 
	 on the 
instrument panel goes off and a beep 
sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-
pleted.
Exiting a parallel parking space
–  Select “exit parallel parking space”  mode;
–  activate the direction indicator on the  side you wish to go out of;
– press and hold switch 1  (around 
2 seconds).
Warning light 
	 lights up on the in-
strument panel, along with a beep.
–  release the steering wheel;

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
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.
Apply the handbrake or, depending 
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
When activated, in the event that the 
lever is stuck in P, depress the brake 
paddle. It is possible to free the lever 
manually. To do this, unclip the base of 
the lever, then insert a tool (rigid rod) 
into the slot 4 and press simultaneously 
on the button  2 in order to unlick the 
lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon 
as possible.
Operating faults
–  when driving , if the “CHECK AUTO 
GEARBOX ” message appears on 
the instrument panel, it indicates a 
fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as 
soon as possible;
–  when driving,  if the message 
“Gearbox overheating” appears on 
the instrument panel, stop as soon 
as possible to let the gearbox cool 
down and wait for the message to 
disappear;
–  If a vehicle with an automatic 
gearbox breaks down, refer to the 
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
For safety reasons, do not 
switch off the ignition before 
the vehicle has come to a 
complete standstill.
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.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS (2/2)
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.
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.
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, depend-
ing 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.
