Certain conditions prevent the system
from using the engine standby function,
including when:
for vehicles equipped with a
RENAULT card:
– the driver’s door is not closed;
– the driver’s seatbelt is not fastened.
for all vehicles:
– reverse gear is engaged;
– the bonnet is not locked;
– the outdoor temperature is too low or too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the difference between the vehicle interior temperature and the auto-
matic climate control instruction is
too high;
– parking distance control is in opera- tion; – for vehicles with automatic gear-
boxes, the gradient is steeper than
approximately 12%;
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see “Automatic Climate
Control” in Section 3);
– the engine temperature is too low;
– the emission control system is being regenerated;
– the Sport mode of the Multi-Sense is activated (depending on the vehicle);

Warning light
 is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
engine standby is not available.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function when per-
forming any operations in
the engine compartment.
Special case for vehicles with
a RENAULT card
With the engine on standby (traffic jam,
traffic lights, etc.), if the driver unfas-
tens the seat belt and opens the driv-
er’s door, or gets out of the seat, the
ignition is switched off.
The assisted parking brake is applied
automatically.
To restart and reactivate the Stop and
Start system, start the engine (please
refer to “Starting, stopping the engine”
in Section 2).
Special case of vehicles with
a key
With the engine on standby (traffic
jam, traffic lights, etc.), if you get out of
the vehicle, a beep warns you that the
engine is on standby and has not been
stopped.

Vehicle with manual gearbox: Follow
the grid marked on knob 1 and, depend-
ing on the vehicle, lift the ring against
the knob to engage reverse gear.
Vehicles with automatic gear-
box: refer to the information on the

GEAR LEVER/HANDBRAKE
Handbrake
To release:
Pull the lever 3 up slightly, press
button 2 and then lower the lever to the

When stationary, and de-
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear)
for vehicles with a manual gearbox
or position P for vehicles with an au-
tomatic gearbox.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.
To apply:
Pull lever 3 upwards. Check that the
vehicle is immobilised. The warning
light
} on the instrument panel will
come on.

2.17
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (1/3)
Note:
To indicate that the electronic parking
brake is released, a beep sounds and
the message “Apply parking brake” ap-
pears on the instrument panel:
– with the engine running: when the driver’s door is opened;
– with the engine switched off (eg. when the engine stalls): when a front
door is opened.
In this case, pull and release switch 2 to
apply the assisted parking brake.
Assisted release of the parking
brake
The brake will be released as soon as
the vehicle starts and accelerates.
Assisted operation
The electronic parking brake immobi-
lises the vehicle when the engine is
switched off by pressing the engine
start/stop button 1 or by turning the
ignition key (key in the “ ON" 2 po-
sition).
In all other circumstances, for example
stalling of the engine or placing of
the engine on standby by the Stop
and Start function (refer to the informa-
tion on the "Stop and Start" function in
Section 2), the electronic parking brake
is not applied automatically. Manual
mode must be used. For certain country-specific model ver-
sions, the assisted brake application
function is not activated. Refer to the
information on “Manual operation”.
To confirm that the electronic parking
brake is applied, the message “Parking
brake on” and warning light
}
on the instrument panel and warning
light 3 on the switch 2 light up.
After the engine is switched off, indi-
cator light 3 goes out several minutes
after the electronic parking brake has
been applied and indicator light
}
goes out when the vehicle is locked.
Before leaving the vehi-
cle, check that the assisted
parking brake is fully ap-
plied. Warning light 3 on
switch 2 and warning light
}
on the instrument panel light up to
show that the parking brake is ap-
plied but go out when the doors are
locked.

Operating faults
– If there is a fault, the © warning
light illuminates on the instrument
panel accompanied by the “Check
parking brake” message and, in
some cases, the
} warning
light.
Please contact an authorised dealer
as soon as possible.
– If there is an assisted parking brake fault, the warning light
® comes
on, along with the message “Braking
system fault”, a beep and, in some
cases, the warning light
}.
This means that you must stop as
soon as traffic conditions allow.
Versions with an automatic
gearbox
For safety reasons, automatic release
is deactivated when the driver’s door
is open or not shut properly and the
engine is running (in order to prevent
the vehicle from moving without the
driver). The “Release parking brake
manually” message appears on the
instrument panel when the driver de-
presses the accelerator.
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (3/3)
It is therefore essential to
immobilise the vehicle by
engaging first gear (manual
gearbox) or position P (au-
tomatic gearbox). If the slope re-
quires it, chock the vehicle.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selec-
tor lever to position P and
switching off the engine.
This is because when the vehicle is
stationary with the engine running
and a gear engaged, the vehicle
may begin to move.
There is a risk of accidents.If no lights or sounds are ap-
parent, this indicates a fault
in the instrument panel. This
indicates that it is essential
to stop immediately (as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow). Ensure that the
vehicle is correctly immobilised and
contact an approved Dealer.
In the event of message
“Electric failure DANGER”
or “Check battery”, manu-
ally activate the electronic
parking brake by pulling switch 2 (or
position the gear lever in P for au-
tomatic gearboxes) before stopping
the engine.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of the
vehicle.
Contact an authorised dealer.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (2/3)
Display
The display 1 and the warning light 4
 on the instrument panel warn
you of any tyre pressure faults (flat tyre,
punctured tyre, system fault, etc.).
“Puncture”
A wheel B is shown, depending on the
vehicle, in red or white accompanied
by the warning light 4
 fixed, the
message “Puncture” and a beep.
This message appears along with the
® warning light. They indicate that
the affected wheel is punctured or se-
verely underinflated. Replace it or con-
tact an approved dealer if it is punc-
tured. Top up the tyre pressure if the
wheel is deflated.
“Check tyre pressure sensors”
A wheel A disappears, the warning
light 4
 flashes for several sec-
onds then comes on continuously and
the message “Check tyre pressure sen-
sors” appears.
This message appears along with the
© warning light. They indicate that
at least one wheel is not fitted with sen-
sors (e.g. emergency spare wheel).
Otherwise, consult an authorised
dealer.
“Adjust tyre pressure”
A wheel B is shown, depending on the
vehicle, in orange or white accompa-
nied by the warning light
4
 fixed
and the message “Adjust tyre pres-

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (5/10)
If the driver depresses the brake pedal
and the system still detects a risk of col-
lision, the brake force is increased.
If the driver fails to react following
an alert of an imminent collision, the
system activates the brakes.
Active emergency braking
Using the sensor 1, the system calcu-
lates the distance separating the vehi-
cle from the one in front and alerts the
driver if there is a risk of a front-end col-
lision. The driver can then brake the ve-
hicle to limit the damage arising from a
collision.
Note: Make sure that the sensor 1 is
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
Operation
When driving (speed between 18.6 and
93 mph (30 and 150 km/h), if there is a
risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
depending on the vehicle:
– the warning light
 is displayed
in red on the instrument panel, ac-
companied by a beep;
or
– the indicator 2 is displayed in red on
the instrument panel and, depending
on the vehicle, on the head up dis- play, accompanied by a beep.
The system only detects vehicles
driving in the same direction of traf-
fic. The system cannot detect mo-
torcycles because of the difficulty in
forecasting their trajectory.
