seatbacks
Ensure that the front seats are far
enough forward.
Raise the side headrests to the highest
position and lower the central headrest
fully.
Pull the control 1 and lower the seat-
back A.
REAR BENCH SEAT (1/2)

To replace the seatback, proceed in the
reverse order to removal.
Refit the seatback and click it back into
place.
A
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
The configuration of the
two-seat bench with the
small seatback A pulled
down, does not allow the
central seat to be used as it would
be impossible to buckle the seat belt
(belt buckles inaccessible).
When refitting the seat-
back, make sure it is cor-
rectly locked in place.
If seat covers are fitted ,
make sure these do not prevent the
seatback latch from locking in.
Make sure that the seat belts are
positioned correctly.
Reposition the headrests.
When moving the rear
seats, ensure that nothing
obstructs the anchorage
points (passenger’s arm or
leg, a pet, gravel, cloth, toys, etc.).
Before folding down any side rear seat,
fasten the seat belt buckle from the seat
concerned into its corresponding catch.
This will prevent the seat belt becoming
trapped when the seat is returned to its
position for use.
In all cases, check that the seat belts
are operating correctly.

the seatbacks (flat position)
From the boot, pulling the control 2 en-

while you have your hands full.
With the RENAULT card on your
person and the ignition turned off, make
a movement with your foot forwards/
backwards within the range of the sen-
sors 2.

then the removal of your foot and trig-
gers the opening of the boot lid.

deactivate the function.
Usage features of the hands-free
function
– the hands-free function is no longer available after a few days of lack of
movement of the vehicle, or after
around 15 minutes if the vehicle is
unlocked. To reactivate it, use the
unlocking button on the RENAULT
card.
– The «Hands-free» function is only available if the vehicle is stationary
and the engine is switched off (and
not on standby with the Stop and
Start function).
– The hands-free feature may not work if the vehicle is equipped with
a towbar or is in an area with high
electromagnetic radiation. Precautions during use
Before opening the tailgate, ensure
that the surrounding space is suffi-
cient to permit operation of the tailgate.
Otherwise, stop the movement of the
boot lid before it makes contact.
Make sure that the sensors are not
obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, road salt
etc.).
Note
In very cold weather conditions, the au-
tomatic opening may not operate if the
trunk lid joints are frozen.
Disable the «hands-free»
function before washing the
vehicle manually or han-
dling the emergency spare
wheel or the towbar.

sing of the tailgate which may
cause injury.
