so full attention may be given to vehicle op-
eration.
• If you are unable to devote full attention to
vehicle operation while talking on the phone,
pull off the road to
asafe location and stop
your vehicle.
CAUTION
To avoid discharging the vehicle battery, use a
phone after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you have acompat-
ible Bluetooth® enabled mobile phone, you can set
up the wireless connection between your mobile
phone and the in-vehicle phone module. With Blue-
tooth® wireless technology, you can make or re-
ceive ahands-free telephone call with your mobile
phone in the vehicle.
Once your mobile phone is connected to the in-ve-
hicle phone module, no other phone connecting pro-
cedure is required. Your phone is automatically re-
connected with the in-vehicle phone module when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position with
the connected mobile phone turned on and carried
in the vehicle. You can register up to
5different Bluetooth® mo-
bile phones to the in-vehicle phone module. How-
ever, you can talk on only one mobile phone at a
time.
Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
• Set up the wireless connection between
amo-
bile phone and the in-vehicle phone module be-
fore using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System.

not be recognised by the in-vehicle phone mod-
ule.
• You will not be able to use
ahands-free phone
under the following conditions:
–Y our vehicle is outside of the mobile service
area.
–Y our vehicle is in an area where it is difficult
to receive mobile signal; such as in atunnel,
in an underground parking garage, near atall
building or in amountainous area.
–Y our mobile phone is locked to prevent it
from being dialled.
• When the radio wave condition is not ideal or
ambient sound is too loud, it may be difficult to
hear the other person’s voice during
acall.
• Immediately after the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, it may be impossible to receive
ac
all for ashort period of time. •
Do not place the mobile phone in an area sur-
rounded by metal or far away from the in-vehicle
phone module to prevent tone quality degrada-
tion and wireless connection disruption.

WARNING
• Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls, or move the vehicle, and
inadvertently become involved in aserious ac-
cident and injure themselves. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in aclosed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal illness to people or animals.
• Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In
asudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
NOTE
During the first few months after purchasing a
new vehicle, if you smell strong odours of Vola-
tile Organic Compounds (VOCs) inside the ve-
hicle, ventilate the passenger compartment thor-
oughly. Open all the windows before entering or
while in the vehicle. In addition, when the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment rises, or
when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight for a
period of time, turn off the air recirculation mode
of the air conditioner and/or open the windows
to allow sufficient fresh air into the passenger
compartment. EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide) WARNING
• Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains co-
lourless and odourless carbon monoxide. Car-
bon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause un-
consciousness or death.
• If you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing the vehicle, drive with all windows fully
open, and have the vehicle inspected imme-
diately.
• Do not run the engine in closed spaces such
as
ag arage.
• Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-
ning for an extended period of time.
• If electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass to
atrailer through the seal of the
body, follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations to prevent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
• If
as pecial body or other equipment is added
for recreational or other usage, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may also
generate carbon monoxide.)
• The exhaust system and body should be in-
spected by
aqualified mechanic whenever:
–Y our vehicle is raised while being serviced. –Y
ou suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing into the passenger compartment.
–Y ou notice achange in the sound of the
exhaust system.
–Y ou have had an accident involving dam-
age to the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
AdBlue® SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTION (SCR) SYSTEM (where
fitted for diesel engine model)
AdBlue® or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), is anon-
toxic solution of 32.5% urea in de-ionized water.
This fluid is sprayed into the exhaust system of die-
sel vehicles to cause achemical reaction that breaks
down potentially dangerous NOx (nitrogen oxides)
emissions into harmless nitrogen and water. This
system is called Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR). AdBlue® fluid is not afuel additive and is
never mixed with diesel fuel. It is always stored in a
separate tank on the vehicle.
AdBlue® will begin to freeze below -11°C (12°F). If
you often drive in areas where the temperature is
below -11°C (12°F), the AdBlue® tank should al-
ways be filled with AdBlue® at the beginning of the
cold season to ensure enough defrosting capacity with heating.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING

AdBlue® warning display
If the AdBlue® level in the tank is low or there is a malfunction in the AdBlue® SCR system, awarning
message will appear in the vehicle information dis- play.
Refill AdBlue®:
For information on refilling the AdBlue® tank see
“AdBlue® filler lid and cap” in the “3. Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section and “AdBlue®
tank (where fitted for diesel engine model)” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
Condition A
This warning appears when the AdBlue® level in
the tank is getting low.
Refill the AdBlue® tank as soon as possible. Condition B
This warning provides you with an estimation of the
distance (0 to 1000 km (0 to 621 miles)) that can be
driven before refilling the AdBlue® tank.
Condition C
This warning appears when the AdBlue® tank is
almost empty.•
If this warning appears while the engine is
stopped, the engine cannot be started. Contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop.
• If this warning appears while the engine is run-
ning, the vehicle can still be driven to the nearest
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
• If the ignition switch is turned off while this warn-
ing appears, the engine can be restarted within
3m
inutes. Stop the vehicle in asafe place and
contact an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop.
Refill the AdBlue® tank as soon as possible.
After the AdBlue® tank is refilled, place the ignition
switch in the ONposition and check that the warn-
ing turned off. Place the ignition switch in the OFF
position once and then start the engine. This opera-
tion will cancel the speed limiting mode.
Check AdBlue®:
When the [Check AdBlue] warning appears, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may also illuminate
depending on conditions. JVM0543XZ JVM0544XZ

5-4 Starting and driving

Condition A
This warning appears if there is amalfunction in the
AdBlue® SCR system.
Have the system checked by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Condition B This warning provides you with an estimation of the
distance (0 to 1000 km (0 to 621 miles)) that can be
driven before inspecting and/or repairing the Ad-
Blue® SCR system.
Condition C
• If this warning appears while the engine is
stopped, the engine cannot be started. Contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop.
• If this warning appears while the engine is run-
ning, the vehicle can still be driven to the nearest
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
• If the ignition switch is turned off while this warn-
ing appears, the engine can be restarted within
3m
inutes. Stop the vehicle in asafe place and
contact an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop.
Have the AdBlue® SCR system inspected and/or
repaired by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop as soon as possible. WARNING
• Be careful not to burn yourself with exhaust
gases.
• Do not park the vehicle over flammable mate-
rials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags,
as they may burn easily.
CAUTION
To maintain maximum Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) performance, follow these precautions:
• Use low-sulphur fuel.
• Use an engine oil specified by RENAULT. (Re-
fer to the maintenance service booklet for
your vehicle.) If an engine oil not
aspecified
by RENAULT is used, it could cause DPF mal-
function or reduced fuel efficiency.
• Do not modify the DPF, muffler or exhaust
pipe. Otherwise it could affect the DPF perfor-
mance and cause
amalfunction.
• Do not kick or hit the DPF. The DPF has a
built-in catalyst system in the muffler. Such
an impact could cause DPF damage. JVM0546XZ
JVM0547XZ JVM0548XZ
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(DPF) (where fitted)
Starting and driving 5-5

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) reduces the
amount of materials that affect the environment by
collecting particulate matter included in exhaust
gases. Normally, particulate matter accumulated in
the DPF is automatically burned and converted to
harmless substances during driving. However, par-
ticulate matter collected in the DPF cannot be
burned under the following conditions:
• When vehicle speed remains below 15 km/h (10
MPH) for
along period of time.
• When the engine is frequently stopped and re-
started within 10 minutes.
• When the vehicle is frequently used for short
journeys of 10 minutes or less.
• When the engine is frequently stopped before it
has warmed up.
In these cases, it becomes difficult to burn particu-
late matter that has accumulated in the DPF auto-
matically. As aresult, the DPF warning light in the
meter will illuminate and the indicator light on the
DPF regeneration switch will blink. This is not amal-
function.
If the DPF warning light comes on, perform the DPF
regeneration process.
CAUTION
If the vehicle continues to be driven with the DPF
warning light illuminated and without doing the
regeneration process, the fail-safe will limit the
engine revolutions and/or torque. In this case, the engine oil must be replaced and the process
of service regeneration must be carried out by an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
The service regeneration is not covered by the
warranty.
AUTOMATIC REGENERATION
If the DPF warning light comes on, it indicates that
particulate matter has accumulated in the DPF to
the specified limit. Particulate matter collected in the
DPF cannot be burned under low speed driving con-
ditions.
As soon as safely possible, drive the vehicle at a
high speed (more than approximately 80 km/h (50
MPH)) until the DPF warning light turns off. Always
conform to local regulations.
When the accumulated particulate matter has been
completely burned, the DPF warning light will turn
off. Pick-up vehicles have
asignificantly higher roll-
over rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than passenger
cars to make them capable of performing in awide
variety of on-pavement and off-road applications.
This gives them ahigher centre of gravity than ordi-
nary cars. An advantage of higher ground clearance
is ab etter view of the road, allowing you to antici-
pate problems. However, they are not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as conventional pas-
senger cars any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or
abrupt manoeuvres, particularly at high speeds. As
with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover.
For information about driving using Four-Wheel
Drive (4WD) (where fitted), see “Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) (where fitted)” later in this section.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions: WARNING
• Drive carefully when off the road and avoid
dangerous areas. Every person who drives or
rides in this vehicle should be seated with
their seat belt fastened. This will keep you
and your passengers in position when driving
over rough terrain.
