From the multifunction screen 2, select
menu “Vehicle”, “Driving assistance”,
“Distance warning” then choose “ON”
or “OFF”.
1
Using the sensor 1 , this function noti-
fies the driver about the time interval
separating them from the vehicle in
front, so they can respect a safe dis-
tance between the two vehicles.
Note: make sure that the sensor 1 is
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
The function is activated when the vehi-
cle speed is between about 18.6 and
124 mph (30 and 200 km/h).
When the engine is started, the func-
tion maintains the same status that was
active when the engine was last stop-
ped.
You can access menu “Driving as-
sistance” directly from button 3
.

This function is an additio-
nal driving aid. However,
this function is not under
any circumstances in-
tended to replace the due care and
attention of the driver, who should at
all times be in control of the vehicle.

2.76
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
ended.
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;
– go forwards and backwards using the parking distance control system
alerts.

The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special casesIn certain driving conditions (result-
ing in, for example, engine protection,
operation of the Electronic Stability
Control programme: ESC, etc.) the au-
tomated system may change the gear
automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
Move the selector lever 1 to position D,
then move the lever to the left into po-
sition M.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– to move down through the gears, push the lever forwards;
– to move up through the gears, push the lever backwards.
1
When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.
Check that warning light P
on the instrument panel and
the warning light integrated
on the button 2 are acti-
vated before leaving the vehicle.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of the
vehicle
2
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode. This will prevent the
automatic gearbox from changing
gear repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
– In cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.

3.3
MULTI-SENSE (2/2)Accessing the menu
You can access Multi-Sense:
– from the multifunction screen 1.
Select menu “Vehicle” then “Multi-
Sense”;
– using switch 2;
– using the Eco button 3, which starts
Eco mode automatically and opens
the "Multi-Sense» menu on the multi-
function screen 1 for a few seconds.

Sport mode
This mode permits an increased re-
sponsiveness from the engine and the
gearbox. The steering is firmer.
Mode Perso
This mode enables you to manually
configure the drive, comfort, light envi-
ronment and engine noise.
Stopping the engine in Sport
mode, or Perso mode with engine
setting in Sport mode.
When you restart the vehicle, a mes-
sage asks you if you wish to keep
the engine setting in Sportmode.
Depending on the vehicle, once the
«Multi-Sense» menu is displayed on
the multifunction screen 1 , pressing
switch 2 enables you to toggle between
the two preferential modes you have
selected. Refer to the handbook for the
equipment.

3.16
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in town)
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents open and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few moments
to let the hot air escape before starting
the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, ventila-
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again.
Vehicles equipped with the
ECO mode: once activated, ECO
mode can reduce the perform-
ance of the automatic air condition-
ing. Please refer to the information
on “Driving advice, Eco-driving” in
Section 2.

in between correspond to the three
progressive opening positions of the
curtain;
– to close: move mark 3 on button 2
to position 0.
To slide the sunroof
With the ignition on:
– to open: move mark 3 on button 2

Moving the position 0 directly to po-
sition B causes the simultaneous
opening of the curtain and the roof.
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.
The reason for this is that the child
may endanger himself or others by
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.
If something gets trapped, reverse
the direction of travel as soon as
possible by turning button 2 fully to
the right (position B).
Risk of serious injury.23

3.33
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT: 4 door versions (2/3)
Using the hands-free functionThe hands-free function grants access
to the boot or allows it to be closed
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.
The sensor detects the approach and
then the removal of your foot and trig-
gers the opening of the boot lid.
Do not keep your foot in the air. Carry
out the movement without stopping.
2
Activation/deactivation of the
hands-free function
Using the multifunction screen, select
menu “vehicle”, “User settings” then
“Use handsfree card: open/close”.
Select «ON" or "OFF" to activate or
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.
Risk of accidental opening or clo-
sing of the tailgate which may
cause injury.
