CENTRAL LOCKING/UNLOCKING OF OPENING ELEMENTS (1/2)
Interior locking/unlocking 
door control
The switch 1 simultaneously controls all 
the doors.
If a door is open or not properly closed, 
the doors lock and then quickly unlock.
If you need to transport objects with the 
boot open, the other opening elements 
can still be locked: with the engine 
stopped,   press switch 1 for more than 
five seconds to lock the other opening 
elements.
Never leave your vehicle 
with the key or RENAULT 
card inside.
Locking the opening 
elements without the 
RENAULT card or the key
For example, in the event of a dis-
charged battery or the RENAULT card 
or key temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine off, the rear doors 
closed and a front door open,  press 
switch 1 for more than five seconds.
Make sure you have your key or 
RENAULT card with you before leaving 
your vehicle.
When the door is closed, all the doors 
and tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking from the outside can only be 
done using the key or the RENAULT 
card.
After locking/unlocking the vehicle 
using the buttons on the RENAULT 
card, "hands-free" locking and un-
locking is deactivated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode: 
restart the vehicle.

MANUAL DOOR LOCKING/UNLOCKING (1/2)
Using the key
Insert the key into the lock 1 and lock or 
unlock the front left-hand door and, de-
pending on the vehicle, the rear hinged 
door.
Locking/unlocking from the 
outside
This is done using the remote control or 
the RENAULT card: refer to the informa-
tion on “Radio frequency remote con-
trol: general information” or “RENAULT 
card: general information” in Section 1.
In some cases, the radio frequency 
remote control or the RENAULT card 
may not work:
– RENAULT card/radio frequency remote control battery worn or run 
flat.
–  if equipment operating on the same  frequency as the card (mobile 
phones, etc.) is used;
–  vehicle located in a high electromag- netic radiation zone.
1
It is then possible:
–  depending on the vehicle, use the radio frequency remote control or the 
emergency key integrated in the card 
to unlock the front left-hand door, or 
depending on the vehicle, the rear 
hinged door;
–  to lock each of the doors manually;
– use the interior locking/unlocking  door control (please refer to the in-
formation on “Locking and unlocking 
the opening elements” in Section 1).

Move lever 6.
Front armrests 5
Seat adjustments
To move forwards or backwards
Lift handle  1 to release. Release the 
handle once the seat is in the correct 
position and ensure that the seat is 
locked.
To adjust the height of the seat base
Lower or pull lever  3 as many times as 
is necessary to raise or lower the seat 
base.
13
For safety reasons, carry 
out any adjustments when 
the vehicle is not being 
driven.
We would advise you not to recline 
the seatbacks too far to ensure that 
the effectiveness of the seat belts is 
not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the 
floor (area in front of driver) as such 
objects may slide under the pedal 
during braking manoeuvres, thus 
obstructing its use.
Heated seats
With the ignition on , press switch 2. 
The integrated indicator comes on.
The system, which has a thermostat, 
decides whether or not the heating is 
needed.

FRONT SEATS (2/2)
Central passenger seat table 
formation
Make sure the cup holder 6 is closed.
Make sure that nothing prevents the 
seat from moving.
–  hold the seatback by the top to guide  it downwards, and simultaneously 
activate control 7 and fold the seat-
back forwards;
–  press on the back of the seatback to  lock it in place. Make sure you lock 
the seatback properly.

To reposition the central passenger 
seat
Make sure that nothing prevents the 
seat from moving.
– Activate control  7 to unlock the seat-
back;
–  Lift the seat back;
– Make sure the seat is correctly  locked in position.
For your safety, attach any 
transported objects when 
the seat is in the table po-
sition.
When the front seat is in 
table position, the front pas-
senger air bag must be dis-
abled (see information on 
“Child safety: activating/deactivat-
ing the front passenger air bag” in 
Section 1).
Risk of serious injury caused by 
items resting on the seatback table 
which may be dislodged when the 
air bag is deployed.
The label (on the dashboard) and 
the markings (on the windscreen) 
remind you of these instructions.

Power Assisted Steering
Never drive with an inadequately 
charged battery.
Variable power assisted 
steering
The variable power assisted steering 
system is equipped with an electronic 
control system which alters the level of 
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking 
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst 
the force needed to steer increases 
progressively as the speed rises (for 
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Adjusting the steering wheel 
height and depth
Pull lever 1 and place the steering 
wheel in the required position; push the 
lever beyond the point of resistance to 
lock the steering wheel in place.
Make sure that the steering wheel is 
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only 
adjust the steering wheel 
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
1
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in 
normal driving (assistance 
is not provided).
With the engine switched off, or if 
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The 
force required will be greater.

1.38
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this 
mechanism is used to limit the force of 
the belt against the body so that it is at 
an acceptable level.
Airbags for driver and front 
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger 
sides.
An “Airbag” marking on the steer-
ing wheel and the dashboard (airbag 
area A) indicates that this device is 
fitted.
Each air bag system consists of:
–  an air bag and gas generator fitted  on the steering wheel for the driver 
and in the dashboard for the front 
passenger;
–  an electronic unit for system monito- ring which controls the gas generator 
electrical trigger system;
– a single 
å warning light on the 
instrument panel.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
The air bag system uses 
pyrotechnic principles. This 
explains why, when the air 
bag inflates, it will generate 
heat, produce smoke (this does not 
mean that a fire is about to start) 
and make a noise upon detonation. 
In a situation where an air bag is re-
quired, it will inflate immediately and 
this may cause some minor, superfi-
cial grazing to the skin or other pro-
blems.
A
The passenger airbag only 
protects the front side pas-
senger; the front centre 
passenger is only protected 
by the seat belt. Please follow the 
usual safety instructions (wearing 
the seat belt). 
Risk of injury in the event of an ac-
cident.
