Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping 
speed slows down whenever the ve-
hicle stops. For example, fast wiping 
speed will slow to normal wiping speed. 
As soon as the vehicle moves off, 
wiping will return to the speed originally 
selected.
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and 
cancels the automatic function.Vehicle fitted with intermittent 
windscreen wipers
  A single sweep
A short push will trigger one sweep 
of the wipers.
  B stop
  C intermittent wiping
The wipers will pause for several 
seconds between sweeps. It is 
possible to change the time be-
tween sweeps by turning ring  2.
  D  slow continuous wiping
  E  fast continuous wiping
Positions  A, C and D are accessible 
with the ignition on. Position  E is 
accessible only when the engine is

Check the condition of the wiper 
blades. You are responsible for their 
service life:
–  they must remain clean: clean  the blades, windscreen and 
rear screen regularly with soapy 
water;
–  do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
–  free them from the windscreen or  rear screen when they have not 
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon 
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check 
that no object obstructs the travel of 
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or 
close the tailgate.

  E  fast continuous wiping
Positions  A and D  are accessible 
with the ignition on. Positions  C 
and  E are accessible only with the 
engine running.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the 
automatic wiping, the wiper is set to 
intermittent wiping. Contact an au-
thorised dealer.
The operation of the rain sensor can 
be disturbed in the event of:
–   damaged wiper blades; a screen 
of water or traces left by a blade in 
the sensor’s detection zone may 
increase the response time of the 
automatic wiper, or increase the 
wiping frequency;
–   a windscreen with any chip or 
crack level with the sensor, or a 
windscreen covered in dust, dirt, 
insects, ice, the use of washing 
wax and water-repellent chemi-
cals; the automatic wiping will 
be less sensitive, or even unres-
ponsive.

Precautions
–   In the event of ice, check whether the 
blades are stuck to the windscreen 
before operating the wiping mecha-
nism. If you activate the wipers while 
the blades are stuck down with ice, 
you may risk damaging both the 
blade and the wiper motor.
–   Do not activate the wipers on a dry 
screen. This will lead to the prema-
ture wear or damage to the blades.

STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with RENAULT CARD (3/3)
If the RENAULT card is no longer in the 
passenger compartment or if the card 
battery is low when you try to switch 
the engine off, the message “No key-
card Press and hold” appears on the in-
strument panel: press the button 2 for 
longer than two seconds. If the card is 
no longer in the passenger compart-
ment, make sure you can retrieve it 
before pressing and holding the button. 
Without the  RENAULT card, you will 
not be able to restart the vehicle.
With the engine switched off, any ac-
cessories being used (radio, etc.) will 
continue to function for approximately 
10 minutes.
When the driver’s door is opened, the 
accessories stop working.
Conditions for stopping the

Driver’s responsibility 
when parking or stopping 
the vehicle
Never leave an animal, 
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for 
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves 
or to others by starting the engine, 
activating equipment such as the 
electric windows or locking the 
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, 
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS 
INJURY.
Never switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has 
stopped completely. Once 
the engine has stopped, the 
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as air bags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.

STOP AND START FUNCTION (4/4)
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 activa- ted (please see “Automatic Climate 
Control” 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-

Deactivating, activating the 
function
Press switch 1  to deactivate the func-
tion. The message “Stop & Start deac-
tivated” will appear on the instrument 
panel and the integrated warning light  2 
on the switch will light up.
Pressing again will reactivate the

press switch 1  to automatically re-
start the engine.
The system is automatically reacti-
vated each time the vehicle is started 
(see “Starting, stopping the engine” in 
Section 2).
Operating faults
When the message “Check Stop & 
Start” appears on the instrument panel 
and the integrated warning light  2 lights 
up on the switch  1, the system is deac-
tivated.
Please consult an authorised dealer.
Before getting out of the 
vehicle, you must switch 
off the ignition (please see 
section on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine”).Special feature of vehicles with 
a key: for some of these condi-
tions the automatic restarting of the 
engine is inhibited if a front door is 
open.  

2.13
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection 
equipment which prevents the engine 
speed being exceeded irrespective of 
the gear selected.
If the message “Check antipollution 
system” is displayed along with warn-
ing lights 
Ä and ©, consult an 
authorised dealer immediately. 
When driving, depending on the fuel 
grade used, it is possible that white 
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter 
being cleaned automatically, and does 
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the  tank has been completely 
drained, the system must be reprimed 
after the tank is refilled: see information 
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-
starting the engine.
Do not park the vehicle or 
run the engine in locations 
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such 
as grass or leaves can come into 
contact with the hot exhaust system.
Precautions to be taken in 
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
–  ensure that the battery is always fully  charged,
–  always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the 
bottom of the tank.
