Depending on the vehicle, this includes
the following functions:
– distance travelled;
– journey settings;
– information messages;
– operating fault messages (connec-
ted to the
© warning light);
– warning messages (connected to the
® warning light).
All these functions are described on the
following pages.

ON-BOARD COMPUTER: general information (2/2)
Resetting the trip mileage
With “trip mileage recorder” selected on
the display, press button 2 or 3 until the
mileage recorder resets to zero.
Resetting the journey
parameters (reset button)
With one of the trip parameters selected
as the display, press and hold button 2
or 3 until the display resets.
Interpreting some of the
values displayed after
resetting
The values showing average fuel
consumption, range and average
speed will become more stable and re-
liable the further you travel after pres-
sing the reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing
the reset key you will notice that the
range increases as you travel. This
range takes into account the average
fuel consumption since the last time the
reset button was pressed. Therefore,
the average fuel consumption may de-
crease when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating;
– the engine reaches its operating
temperature (if the engine was cold
when the reset key was pressed);
– when driving from an urban area
onto the open road.
Automatic resetting of the
journey parameters
Resetting occurs automatically when
the maximum value of any of the para-
meters is exceeded.

Precautions for use
Handle additives with care. They can
damage clothes, shoes, bodywork
components etc.
If the additive overflows, or contami-
nates any paintwork, clean the affected
area quickly with a damp cloth.
Do not top up the additive when the
temperature is below 0°C.
Always read the information on the ad-
ditive can.
Additive quality
Use only additives which conform
to standard ISO 22241 and in accor-
dance with the label on the fuel filler
flap.
Average fuel consumption
Approximately 1412 mpg
(2 l/1000 km) depending on the vehicle
and the driving style.
The additive must not come
into contact with eyes or
skin. If it does, wash the af-
fected area with plenty of
cold water. If necessary, consult a
doctor.

Warning light  is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
the engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
The engine will restart when you press
the clutch pedal and move into gear.
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.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (1/4)
Driving style indicator 2
Informs you about the driving style
adopted in real time. You will be notified
by the colour of warning light 2.
– Green: measured, economical dri- ving;
– Yellow: opt for a calmer driving style;
– Orange: driving too fast.
The driving style indicator is activated
by default. If you wish to deactivate it,
please see the multimedia system ins-
tructions.

Gear change indicator 1
Depending on the vehicle, to obtain op-
timum consumption levels, a warning
light on the instrument panel lets you
know the best time to move up or down
a gear:
Š move up a gear;
‰ move down a gear.
Fuel consumption is accredited in ac-
cordance with a standard regulatory
method. Identical for all manufactu-
rers, this enables vehicles to be com-
pared with one another. Consumption
in real time depends on vehicle usage
conditions, the equipment fitted and the
user’s driving style. To optimise fuel
consumption, please refer to the fol-
lowing advice.
Depending on the vehicle, you will have
various functions which enable you to
lower your fuel consumption:
– the rev counter;
– gear change indicator;
– the driving style indicator;
– the journey record and eco-driving
advice via the multimedia display;
– ECO mode – activated by the ECO button.
If fitted on the vehicle, the navigation
system provides additional information.

2.13
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/4)
An overall rating from 0 to 100 is dis-
played to let you assess your eco driv-
ing performance. The higher the rating,
the lower the fuel consumption.
Eco advice is given to help improve
your performance.
With your favourite journeys saved, you
can evaluate your performance.
For more information, please see the
multimedia system instructions.

ECO mode
ECO mode is a function which opti-
mises fuel consumption. It acts on all
elements which consume fuel (engine
power, heating and/or air conditioning,
etc).
Activating the function
Press switch 4.
The 5
 warning light comes on on
the instrument panel to confirm activa-
tion.
While driving, it is possible to leave the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im-
prove engine performance.
For this, depress the accelerator pedal
firmly and fully.
ECO mode is reactivated when you
take pressure off the accelerator pedal.
Disabling the function
Press switch 4.
The 5
 light goes out on the instru-
ment panel to confirm deactivation.

Journey record
Once the engine is switched off, you
will see “Journey record” displayed on
the screen 3 , enabling you to view in-
formation relating to your last journey.
This indicates:
– average fuel consumption;
– number of miles/kilometres travelled;
– number of miles/kilometres saved.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/4)
Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.
