Depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies accord\
ing to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed ,
door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idling speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change can
therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance t\
ravelled.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before a service, press and hold button 2 for approximately 10 seconds until the display shows
the range permanently.
Note: If a service is performed without changing the engine oil, only the mi\

event of an oil change, both the distance before the next service and th\
e next oil change should be reset.

(depending on vehicle)
From the multimedia screen, select the
“Vehicle” menu, then “User settings”,
“External welcome” and activate or de-
activate the function (ON or OFF).
Depending on the selected choice, the
door mirrors will fold out:
– when the ignition is next switched on (function deactivated);
– upon detecting the RENAULT card or upon unlocking the vehicle (func-
tion activated).Folding rear view mirrors
The door mirrors automatically fold in
when the vehicle is locked (switch 3 in
position B).
In any case, you can make the door
mirrors fold in (switch 3 in position C) or
fold out (switch 3 in position A).
Automatic mode is then deactivated. To
reactivate it, position switch 3 to B.

then use button 1 to adjust it to the de-
sired position.
Heated door mirrors
Mirror de-icing is carried out at the
same time as rear screen de-icing.
Please refer to the “Manual air condi-
tioning” and “Automatic climate control”
paragraphs.
Objects observed in the
door mirror glass are actu-
ally closer than they appear.
For your safety, take this
into account in order to correctly
assess the distance before any ma-
noeuvre.
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.

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.

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.

Efficiency of a wiper blade
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. How long they last depends
on you:
– it must remain clean: clean the blade and the screen regularly
with soapy water;
– do not use it when the screen is dry;
– free it from the screen when it has not been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace it as soon as
it begins to lose efficiency: approx-
imately once a year. Refer to the
“Wiper blades: replacement” para-
graph in Section 5.
Precaution for using the
wipers
– in freezing or snowy weather, clear the screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor over-
heating);
– ensure that no objects are ob- structing the travel of the blade.

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the au-
tomatic wiping, the wiper is set to inter-
mittent wiping. Contact an authorised
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 in-
crease the response time of the au-
tomatic wiper, or increase the wiping
frequency;
– a windscreen with any chip or crack
level with the sensor, or a wind-
screen covered in dust, dirt, insects,
ice, the use of washing wax and
water-repellent chemicals; the auto-
matic wiping will be less sensitive, or
even unresponsive. Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping
speed slows down whenever the vehi-
cle 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.
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.
Positions A and D are accessible
with the ignition on. Positions C
and E are accessible only with the
engine running.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE (4/6)
Specific front wiper position
(service position)
This position enables the blades to be
lifted to remove them from the winds-
creen.
It may be useful to:
– to clean the blades;
– to release the blades from the winds-creen in winter;
– replace the blades (refer to the “Wiper blades: replacement” para-
graph in Section 5).
With the ignition on and the engine off,
lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully
(fast continuous wipe position). The
wiper arms stop in a position away from
the bonnet.
To return the blades to position, make
sure they have been placed on the
windscreen, then move the stalk to po-
sition B (stop) with the ignition on.
Before switching on the ignition,
place the wipers on the windscreen.
Otherwise, there may a risk of damage
to the bonnet or the wipers when they
are switched on.
In the event of obstacles on the
windscreen (dirt, snow, ice etc.),
clean the windscreen (including the
central area located behind the inte-
rior rear view mirror) before starting
the wipers (risk of motor overheat-
ing).
If an object is preventing a blade
from moving, it may stop functio-
ning. Remove the obstacle and
reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.
Before any action involving
the windscreen (washing
the vehicle, de-icing,
cleaning the windscreen,
etc.) return stalk 1 to position B
(stop).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
Note: after replacement, to reposition
the blades correctly, make sure the
blades are resting on the windscreen,
switch on the ignition and activate the
wiper control.

Windscreen washer
With the ignition on , pull stalk 1 then
release.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep
of the wipers, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
A longer pull will trigger three sweeps
of the wipers followed, a few seconds
later, by a fourth, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in position B (stop).
Risk of injury.

windscreen using the demister control
before cleaning.
