STOP AND START function (1/3)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the
engine (standby) when the vehicle is
at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
System operating conditionsEngine standby is activated if:
– the vehicle has been driven since its last stop;
– the gearbox is in neutral;
– the clutch pedal is released;
and
– the vehicle is travelling at less than 3 km/h. Special feature of the automatic
engine re-start
Under certain conditions, the engine
can restart on its own in order to gua-
rantee your safety and comfort.
This can occur especially when:
– the outdoor temperature is too low or
too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see the information on “Air
conditioning” in Section 3);
– the battery is not sufficiently char- ged;
– the vehicle speed is above 3 mph (5 km/h) (downhill slope, etc.);
– repeated pressing on the brake pedal or braking system require-
ment;
– ...
Special features of vehicles with
remote control
Some of these conditions prevent the
engine from automatically restarting
upon opening:
– one of the doors for vehicles using a key;
– the passenger side door for vehicles using a RENAULT card.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer ope-
rational.
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition (please see
section on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine”).Do not drive off when the
engine is on standby (war-
ning light
is dis-
played on the instrument panel).
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
and the message “IGNITION OFF”
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.

TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
The steering wheel must be un-
locked and the ignition key must be
in position M (ignition on) to provide
brake lights and hazard warning
lights on the towed vehicle. At night
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is
being towed.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact an approved dealer.
Never use the drive shafts or axles.
These towing points may only be used
for traction: never use them for lifting
the vehicle directly or indirectly.– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is not fit to be driven.
– Do not accelerate or brake sud- denly when towing, as this may
result in damage being caused to
the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, do not exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition switch or the
card from the reader during
