CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. While overtaking, the cruis-
ing speed flashes red on the instrument
panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradi-
ent, the system is unable to maintain
the cruising speed: the stored speed is
flashes red on the instrument panel to
inform you of this situation.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed can be changed by
pressing the switch 2 repeatedly:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
and the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
If a following distance is stored and a
vehicle travelling slower than yours is
detected by the system in your lane,
your vehicle will brake (with the brake
lights on) and adapt its speed to that of
the vehicle in front, respecting the fol-
lowing distance selected previously.
Overtaking
If your speed is lower than the cruise
control and you wish to perform an
overtaking manoeuvre, activating the
direction indicator will provide acceler-
ation enabling the overtaking manoeu-
vre.
Please note that you are
strongly advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react in an emer-
gency.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (3/7)
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed can be changed by
pressing the switch 2 repeatedly:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.
Varying the following
distance
You can vary the following distance
from the vehicle in front at any time by
pressing switch 6 repeatedly.
Horizontal following bars will be dis-
played on the instrument panel, indicat-
ing the following distance selected:
– one bar for a short distance (cor- responding to a following time of
around one second);
– two bars for a medium distance;
– three bars for a long distance (cor- responding to a following time of
around two seconds).
Choosing the distance should depend
on the traffic, the laws in your country,
and on the weather conditions.
If a vehicle is detected by the system in
your lane, an outline A of a vehicle will
appear above the following bars.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (5/7)
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.
Please note that you are
strongly advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react in an emer-
gency.
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate to reach this
threshold.
Under certain conditions (coming up
behind a vehicle moving more slowly,
rapid change of lane of vehicles in
front, etc.), the system may not have
time to respond and may emit a beep
alongside the alert A when the situation
requires the driver’s attention, or the
alert B when the situation requires im-
mediate action from the driver.
React accordingly and perform the ap-
propriate manoeuvres.

Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 5: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The green
 indicator light and the message
”Adaptive cruise ctrl” on the instrument
panel go out to confirm that the function
is deactivated.

2.64
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (6/7)
This function is an additional driving aid. However, this function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the
due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of the system indications.
The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle dete\
ctor or an anti-collision system.
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the sensor alignment may become changed, and \
its operation will consequently be affected. Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.
– Any work in the area where the radar is located (repairs, replacements,\
touching up of paintwork) must be carried out by a qualified professional.
System disturbance
In a complex environment (metal bridge, etc.), the system may be affected.
Risk of inadvertent braking.

2.65
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (7/7)
Limitation of the system operation
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert\
or any action on the system operation.
– The sensor area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in or\
der to ensure the proper operation of the
system.
– Fixed obstacles (vehicles at a standstill, traffic jams, toll booths, etc.) or objects travelling at low speed or of a\
small size
(motorbikes, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) may not be detected by the s\
ystem.
– A vehicle entering the same lane will only be detected once it has entere\
d the detection zone. Sudden or late braking may then take place.
– When entering a bend or curve, the sensor may temporarily no longer dete\
ct the vehicle in front, and this may lead to ac- celeration.
– When exiting a curve, the detection of the vehicle in front may be affected or delayed. Sudden or late braking may then take place.
– A slower vehicle travelling in an adjacent lane may be detected and cause\
a slowing down if one of the two vehicles is trav- elling too close to the lane of the other.
– The system is deactivated below around 20 mph (40 km/h). Drivers must \
react accordingly.
– Sudden changes in situation are not instantly taken into account by the \
system. Drivers must remain vigilant at all times and
under all circumstances.
Deactivating the function
The function should be deactivated if:
– the brake lights are not functioning;
– the front of the vehicle has undergone an impact or been damaged;
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
– traffic is heavy;
– the vehicle is travelling in a tunnel;
– the vehicle is travelling on a windy road;
– the vehicle is travelling on a slippery road or in poor weather conditio\
ns (fog, snow, rain, side winds etc.).
If the driver notices abnormal system behaviour, please consult an authorised dealer.

Note: Press button 2 to go from posi-
tion D or N to R or P.
Driving in automatic mode
Put lever 1 into position D.
In most road conditions you will en-
counter, you will not need to touch your
lever again: the gears will change au-
tomatically at the right time and at the
most suitable engine speed because
the automatic system takes into ac-
count the vehicle load and road contour
and adjusts itself to the particular driv-
ing style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

MULTI-SENSE (1/2)
The Multi-Sense system acts, depend-
ing on the mode selected and depend-
ing on the vehicle, on the drive, the
light environment, the comfort and the
engine noise:
– modes Comfort , Neutral, Eco and Sport are preset and associated with
customisable light environments and
engine noise;
– mode Perso is fully customisable.
The drive modes affect the:
– power-assisted steering;
– the adaptive suspension:
– the four-wheel drive:
– engine and gearbox responsiveness;
– heating level.
They also affect the:
– the light environment and the instru- ment panel lighting;
– instrument panel and multifunction screen information;
– engine noise;
– massage seat.
After each start-up, the vehicle uses the
mode set at the time the engine was
last switched off.
Mode Comfort
This mode favours smooth steering.
The interior environment is softened.
Depending on the vehicle, the seat
massage function is activated.
Mode Neutral
Default mode, mode Neutral selects the
vehicle factory settings.
Mode Eco
Mode Eco is geared towards saving
energy and the environment. The
steering is smooth, engine and gearbox
management enable fuel consumption
to be lowered. Air conditioning is man-
aged to be used only when necessary.
Please refer to the information on
“Driving advice, Eco-driving” in
Section 2.
Note: for vehicles without ECOmode,
the Comfort mode becomes the most
suitable mode in terms of energy econ-
omy and respect for the environment.
Multi-Sense
Sport Eco
Neutral Comfort Perso
In all modes, it is possible to change
the colour of the ambient lighting as
well as the format of the information
displayed on the instrument panel
and multifunction display. You can
also reset to the default settings.
Please refer to the multimedia
equipment instructions.

If fitted on the vehicle, the tailgate locks
and unlocks at the same time as the
doors.
Depending on the vehicle, you have se-
veral different ways to manoeuvre the
tailgate:
– using the RENAULT card remote control;
– using the controls on the tailgate;
– using the dashboard control;
– using the hands-free function.
AUTOMATIC TAILGATE (1/5)
Conditions of use
– Immobilise the vehicle.
– If there is any ice or snow prevent-ing the tailgate from opening, this ice
or snow must be removed to free the
tailgate.
– In the event that the battery is dis- charged or if it is changed, the tail-
gate should be closed (manually
if necessary) to restart the tailgate
motor.
Ensure that nobody is close
to the moving parts when
opening/closing the tail-
gate.
Risk of injury.
Opening/Closing
Activating the automatic tailgate ope-
ning or closing using the dashboard
control or using the RENAULT card
causes three beeps to sound just
before the tailgate begins to move.
When opening or closing the tail-
gate, ensure that nothing interferes
with the manoeuvre.
To avoid damaging the tailgate
system, do not manually force the
tailgate to open or close while it is
moving.
The attaching of any
carrying device (bike rack,
luggage box, etc.) resting
on the luggage compart-
ment lid is prohibited. To install a
carrying device on your vehicle,
contact an Approved Dealer.
