Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses 
the most suitable amount of air to reach 
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation 
speed by pressing buttons 12 or 18 or, 
depending on the vehicle, by sliding 
your finger in zone  19.
Temperature adjustmentThere are two types of settings:
– uniform passenger compartment 
setting;
–  “DUAL” function setting to independ- ently adjust the left and right sides.
Uniform passenger compartment 
setting
Use control 11 .
“DUAL” function setting
Press button 13 to activate. Use con-
trol  11 to adjust the left side and con-
trol 5 for the right side.
The displayed temperature values 
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-
ing or decreasing the value dis-
played will not allow the com-
fort level to be reached any more 
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or 
decrease (the ventilation system 
does not start instantly at maximum 
speed: it gradually increases). This 
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is 
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.
Note: the air conditioning configura-
tion depends on the mode selected in 
the “Multi-Sense” menu (please refer 
to the information on “Multi-Sense” in 
Section 3).

Automatic usage
Press button 8 (a warning light comes 
on in zone  1).
Manual use
Press button 9 to force air recirculation.
Prolonged use of this position may lead 
to odours, caused by non-renewal of 
air, and the formation of condensation 
on the windows.
We advise you to return to automatic 
mode as soon as air recirculation is no 
longer needed, by pressing button  8 or 
button 9 again.
To exit this function, press button 8  or 
button 9 again.
Adjusting the distribution 
of air in the passenger 
compartment
Press buttons  7 to select the desired 
distribution (a warning light is displayed 
in zone 1):
ØThe air flow is mainly directed 
to the demisting vents for the 
windscreen and the side windows.
½The air flow is mainly directed 
to the dashboard air vents.
¿The air flow is directed mainly 
towards the footwells.
The demisting/de-icing will still take 
priority over the air recirculation.
Air recirculation
This function is managed automatically 
but you can also activate it manually.
Note:
–  during recirculation, air is taken from  the passenger compartment and 
is recycled, with no air being taken 
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the exter- nal atmosphere to be cut off (when 
driving in polluted areas, etc.) and 
to cool the passenger compartment 
temperature more quickly.

These systems operate:
–  with the engine running;
–  with the ignition off until one of the front doors is opened (limited to ap-
proximately 12 minutes).
–  before starting, with the front doors  closed, after pressing the start 
button.
Press the window switch down or pull it 
up to lower or raise the window to the 
desired height: the rear windows do not 
open fully.
Safety of rear occupants
The driver can prevent operation of the rear electric windows by pressin\
g 
switch 4. A confirmation message is displayed on the instrument panel.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card or key inside, and never leave 
a child, adult who is not self-sufficient or a pet, even for a short while. They may 
pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine or activat\
ing equip-
ment (such as the gear lever or electric windows). If any part of the \
body becomes 
trapped, reverse the direction of the window immediately by pressing the\
 relevant 
switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against 
a half-open window: there is a risk 
that the electric window could be 
damaged.
From the driver’s seat, use switch:
  1  for the driver’s side;
  2  for the front passenger side;
  3 and   5 for the rear passenger win-
dows.
From the passenger seats, use 
switch 6.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
It is normal for an engine to use oil for 
lubrication and cooling of moving parts 
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved 
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being 
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) 
after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil 
level from time to time and certainly 
before any long journey to avoid the 
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine 
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read 
the exact oil level and make sure 
that the maximum level has not been 
exceeded (risk of engine damage). 
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only 
alerts the driver when the oil level is at 
its minimum. –  Remove the dipstick and wipe with a 
clean, lint-free cloth;
–  push the dipstick in as far as it will  go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick C, screw the cap in as 
far as it will go);
–  take out the dipstick again;
–  read the level: it should never fall  below minimum mark  A or exceed 
maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is 
pushed in as far as it will go or that 
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely 
screwed in.

In order to prevent splashing, it is 
recommended that a funnel be used 
when topping up/filling the oil.
Before performing any 
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must 
be switched off (please see 
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
Exceeding the maximum 
engine oil level
Under no circumstances 
must the maximum fill 
level  B be exceeded: risk of damage 
to the engine and catalytic con-
verter.
If the level exceeds the maximum 
level,  do not start your vehicle  and 
contact an authorised dealer.

12 VOLT BATTERY (1/2)
1
Battery 1 does not require any mainte-
nance.  You should not open it or add 
any fluid.
Handle the battery with care 
as it contains sulphuric acid 
which must not come into 
contact with the eyes or 
skin. If it does, wash the affected 
area with plenty of cold water. If 
necessary, consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot 
objects and sparks do not come into 
contact with the battery as there is a 
risk of explosion.
Depending on the vehicle, a system 
continuously checks the battery charge 
status. If this decreases, the message 
“Battery low start engine” is displayed 
on the instrument panel. In this case, 
start the engine and the message on 
the instrument panel will disappear.
The charge status of your battery can 
decrease especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
–  for short journeys;
–  for driving in town;
–  when the temperature drops;
–  after extended use of energy-con- suming devices (radio, etc.) with the 
engine switched off.
The engine may be hot 
during operations in close 
proximity. In addition, the 
engine cooling fan may 
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Before performing any 
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must 
be switched off (please see 
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

Glass instrument panel(e.g.: instrument panel, clock, exterior 
temperature display, radio display, mul-
timedia or multifunction display etc.)
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean them properly, 
use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly 
moistened with soapy water and then 
wipe clean with another soft damp cloth 
or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully  dry off with a soft dry 
cloth.
Do not use products containing alco-
hol and/or spray fluids on the area.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical 
Department (Approved outlets) or 
warm, soapy water and a sponge and 
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used 
under any circumstances.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
Textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth, 
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or 
pasty material immediately  with a 
spatula (working from the edges to the 
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
Special instructions for sweets or 
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify 
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
A well-maintained vehicle will last 
longer. It is therefore recommended to 
maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-
larly.
A stain should always be dealt with 
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim, 
use 
cold  (or warm) soapy water with 
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow-
dered products, alcohol-based prod-
ucts) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.
For further recommendations for 
maintaining the interior, and/or for 
any unsatisfactory results, please 
see an authorised dealer.

In case of puncture
Depending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-
tion kit or emergency spare wheel is 
provided (refer to the following pages).
Special note
The Tyre Pressure Monitor function 
does not check the emergency spare 
wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-
gency spare wheel disappears from the 
instrument panel display).
Refer to the information on the “Tyre 
pressure monitoring system” in 
Section 2.
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it \
checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than the 
four other wheels:
–  Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
–  Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with \
the  same dimensions as the original.
–  When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measu\
re, the  driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wh\
eel.
–  Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually r\
uns.  Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-\
nering.
–  If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rea\
r axle  and check the tyre pressure.
PUNCTURE/EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (1/3)
If the vehicle is parked on 
the hard shoulder, you must 
warn other road users of 
your vehicle’s presence 
with a warning triangle or with other 
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
