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:

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.
