• Do not place any objects on the steering wheel
pad, on the instrument panel, under the steer-
ing column and near the front door finishers
and the front seats. Do not place any objects
between any occupants and the steering
wheel pad, on the instrument panel, and near
the front door finishers and the front seats.
Such objects may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if asupplemental air
bag inflates.
• Immediately after inflation, several supple-
mental air bag system components will be hot.
Do not touch them: you may severely burn
yourself.
• No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the supplemen-
tal air bag systems. This is to prevent acci-
dental inflation of the supplemental air bags
or damage to the supplemental air bag sys-
tems.
• Do not make unauthorised changes to your
vehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-
tem, front end structure, and side panels. This
could affect proper operation of the supple-
mental air bag systems. NP A1527

•
Tampering with the supplemental air bag sys-
tems may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel by placing
materials over the steering wheel pad and
above, around or on the instrument panel or
by installing additional trim materials around
the supplemental air bag systems.
• Work on and around the supplemental air bag
systems should be done by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring
should not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorised electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on the
supplemental air bag systems.
• The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low for easy identification.
• Never install
arear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch. In afrontal
collision, supplemental front-impact air bags
inflate with great force. An inflating supple-
mental front-impact air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child.
When the air bags inflate, afairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate afire. Care
should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irri-
tation and choking. Those with ahistory of abreath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly. Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is
located at the centre of the steering wheel. The pas-
senger’s supplemental front-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the instrument panel above the glove box.
The supplemental front-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of
ahigher severity fron-
tal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental front-impact air
bag system operation. WARNING
Never install
arear-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat without first deacti-
vating the passenger air bag with the front pas-
senger air bag switch (where fitted), see “Front
passenger air bag switch (where fitted)” later in
this section. In afrontal collision, supplemental
front-impact air bags inflate with great force. An
inflating supplemental front-impact air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child. Front passenger air bag status light (where fit-
ted):
WARNING
• Since your vehicle is equipped with
af
ront
passenger air bag, it is not permitted to install
ar earward facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat unless the front passenger air
bag has been deactivated first. NP A1531

HEADLIGHT AIMING CONTROL
(where fitted)
Manual type
The headlight aiming control operates when the ig- nition switch is in the ONand the headlight switch is
in the position to allow the headlight axis to be
adjusted according to the driving condition.
When driving with no heavy load/luggage or driving
on aflat road, select the normal position <0>.
If the number of occupants and load/luggage in the
vehicle changes, the headlight axis may become
higher than normal.
If the vehicle is travelling on ahilly road, the head-
lights may directly shine on the rearview and outside mirrors of avehicle ahead or the windscreen of an
oncoming vehicle, which may obscure another driv-
ers’ vision. To adjust to the proper aiming height, turn the switch
accordingly. The higher the number, designated on
the switch, the lower the headlight axis.
Automatic type
For vehicles fitted with an automatic levelling sys-
tem, the headlight axis is controlled automatically.
BATTERY SAVER SYSTEM
(where fitted)
The light reminder chime will sound if the headlight
switch is in either the or position and
when the driver’s door is opened with the ignition
switch in the ACC,OFForLOCK position.
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFForLOCK
position while the headlight switch is in the or
position, the battery saver function will turn off
the lights after aperiod of time to prevent the battery
from being discharged.
CAUTION
Do not leave the lights on when the engine is not
running for extended periods of time to prevent
the battery from being discharged. TURN SIGNAL SWITCH
CAUTION
The turn signal switch will not be cancelled auto-
matically if the steering wheel turning angle does

2-32 Instruments and controls

The Remote Control Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Re-
mote Control Key system transmits weak radio
waves. Environmental conditions may interfere with
the operation of the Remote Control Key system
under the following operating conditions.
• When operating near
alocation where strong
radio waves are transmitted, such as aTVtower,
power station and broadcasting station.
• When in possession of wireless equipment, such
as am obile telephone, transceiver, and CB ra-
dio.
• When the Remote Control Key is in contact with
or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote control is
used nearby.
• When the Remote Control Key is placed near an
electric appliance such as
apersonal computer.
In such cases, correct the operating conditions be-
fore using the Remote Control Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depending on
the operating conditions, the battery’s life is approxi-
mately 2years. If the battery is discharged, replace
it with anew one.
For information regarding replacement of abattery,
see “Remote Control Key battery replacement” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
Since the Remote Control Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near equipment which transmits strong radio waves, such as signals
from
aTVa nd personal computer, the battery life
may become shorter.
Because the steering wheel is locked electrically,
unlocking the steering wheel with the ignition switch
in the LOCK position is impossible when the vehicle
battery is completely discharged. Pay special atten-
tion that the vehicle battery is not completely dis-
charged.
As many as 4Remote Control Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. For information
about the purchase and use of additional Remote
Control Keys, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
CAUTION
• Do not allow the Remote Control Key, which
contains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could
affect the system function.
• Do not drop the Remote Control Key.
• Do not strike the Remote Control Key sharply
against another object.
• Do not change or modify the Remote Control
Key.
• Wetting may damage the Remote Control Key.
If the Remote Control Key gets wet, immedi-
ately wipe until it is completely dry.
• If the outside temperature is below −10°C
(14°F), the battery of the Remote Control Key
may not function properly. •
Do not place the Remote Control Key for an
extended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 60°C (140°F).
• Do not attach the Remote Control Key to a
key holder that contains
amagnet.
• Do not place the Remote Control Key near
equipment that produces
amagnetic field,
such as aTV, audio equipment and personal
computers.
If an Remote Control Key is lost or stolen, RENAULT
recommends erasing the ID code of that Remote
Control Key from the vehicle. This may prevent the
unauthorised use of the Remote Control Key to op-
erate the vehicle. For information regarding the eras-
ing procedure, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
The Remote Control Key function can be disabled.
For information about disabling the Remote Control
Key function, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.

®MOBILE PHONE
FEATURE WARNING
Whilst
driving, using the mobile phone is ex-
tremely dangerous because it significantly im-
pairs your concentration and diminishes your re-
action capabilities to sudden changes on the
road, and it may lead to afatal accident. This
applies to all phone call situations such as when
receiving an incoming call, during aphone con-
versation, when calling through the phone book
search, etc.
CAUTION
Certain country jurisdictions prohibit the use of
the mobile phone in the car without hands-free
support.
This chapter provides information about the hands-
free phone system using aBluetooth
®connection.
Bluetooth
®is aw ireless radio communication stan-
dard. This system offers ahands-free facility for your
mobile telephone to enhance driving comfort.
In order to use your mobile phone with the Blue-
tooth
®of the audio system, the mobile phone must
first be setup. For details, see “BLUETOOTH®
settings” later in this section. Once it has been
setup, the hands-free mode is automatically acti-
vated on the registered mobile phone (via Blue-
tooth
®)w hen it comes into range. An
otification message appears on the audio display
when the phone is connected, when an incoming
call is being received, as well as when acall is initi-
ated.
When acall is active, the audio system, microphone
(located in the ceiling in front of the rear view mir-
ror), and steering wheel switches enable hands-free
communication.
If the audio system is in use at the time, the radio,
CD, iPod, USB audio, Bluetooth audio or AUX
source mode will be muted and will stay muted until
the active call has ended.
The Bluetooth
®system may not be able to connect
with your mobile phone for the following reasons:
• The mobile phone is too far away from the ve-
hicle.
• The Bluetooth
®mode on your mobile phone has
not been activated.
• Your mobile phone has not been paired with the
