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;
–  for vehicles not fitted with Stop and  Start, with the engine switched off 
(e.g when the engine stalls): when a 
front door is opened.
In this case, pull and release switch  3 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 turning the ig-
nition key (key in  2 “ ON”  2 posi-
tion).
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 
}

Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system 
guarantees comfort in the passen-
ger compartment and good visibility 
(except in the event of extreme condi-
tions), while optimising consumption. 
The system controls the ventilation 
speed, air distribution, air recirculation, 
and starting and stopping the air condi-
tioning and air temperature.
This mode consists of a choice of three 
programmes:
NORMAL  : allows the selected comfort 
level to be best attained, depending on 
the exterior conditions. Press button  4 
or key 9.
SOFT:  reaches the desired comfort 
level more gently and silently. Press 
button 8.
FAST: increases the flow of air in the 
passenger compartment. This mode 
is recommended in particular to opti-
mise comfort in the rear seats. Press

Automatic usage
Press button 16 (a warning light comes 
on in zone 14).
Manual use
Press button 5 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 key  16 or 
button 5 again.
To exit this function, press key  16 or 
button 5 again.
Adjusting the distribution 
of air in the passenger 
compartment
Press buttons 12 to select the desired 
distribution (a warning light is displayed 
in zone 14):
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.
