TRIP COMPUTER AND WARNING SYSTEM: warning message
These appear with the ® warning light and require you to stop immediately, for your own safety, as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow. Stop your engine and do not restart it. Contact an approved Dealer.
Some examples of warning messages are given below. Note: the messages appear on the display either individually or al-
ternately (when there are several messages to be displayed), and may b\
e accompanied by a warning light and/or a beep.
Examples of messages Interpreting the display selected
“Engine failure hazard” Indicates an injection fault, the vehicle’s engine has overheated or there is a
serious engine fault.
“Power steering fault” Indicates a fault in the steering system.
“Braking system fault” or “Stop vehicle” Indicates a fault in the braking system. Apply the electronic parking brake ma-
nually and ensure that the vehicle is immobilised using a chock.
“Electric failure DANGER” Indicates a fault in the vehicle battery charging circuit (alternator e\
tc.).
“Puncture” Indicates a puncture on the tyre displayed on the instrument panel.

External temperature
indicator
Special note:
When the exterior temperature is - 3 °C
to + 3 °C, the °C characters flash (sig-
nalling a risk of ice on the road).
The time and/or external tempera-
ture are displayed on the multifunc-
tion screen 1
Refer to the handbook for the equip-
ment.
CLOCK AND EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE
External temperature
indicator
As ice formation is related
to climatic exposure, local
air humidity and temperature, the
external temperature alone is not
sufficient to detect ice.
1
If the electrical supply is cut (battery
disconnected, broken supply wire,
etc.), the clock will automatically
go back to the right time after a few
minutes once the system is capable
of receiving information GPS.

STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with RENAULT card (2/3)
Depress the brake or clutch pedal, then
place the RENAULT 3 card (logo side)
in contact with the start button 2 for
around 2 seconds. Press the 2 button
to start the vehicle. The message goes
out.
2
Accessories function(switching on the ignition)
Once you have gained access to your
vehicle, you may use some of its func-
tions (radio, navigation, wipers, etc.).
To use the other functions, with the
RENAULT card in the passenger com-
partment, press button 2 without press-
ing the pedals.
3
Operating faults
In certain cases, the RENAULT “hands-
free” card may not work:
– when the RENAULT card battery is drained, etc.;
– near to appliances operating on the same frequency as the card (moni-
tor, mobile phone, video game, etc.);
– vehicle located in a high electromag- netic radiation zone.
The message “Place card close START
and push” appears on the instrument
panel.

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 anti- pollution
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.
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.

2.16
The “Hybrid Assist” system uses an
electric motor to improve performance
of the combustion engine (acceleration,
starting on a slope etc.). The vehicle
has more acceleration torque available
while consuming less fuel.
BatteriesYour electric vehicle has two types of
battery:
– a 48 V traction battery;
– secondary 12 V battery.
“48 volt” traction battery
Located under the rear floor, this bat-
tery stores the energy recovered during
phases of deceleration. This energy is
used by the hybrid system to provide
additional torque to the combustion
engine.
“HYBRID ASSIST" SYSTEM: introduction (3/5)
Secondary 12V battery
The 12 V battery supplies the energy
required to operate vehicle equipment
(lights, windscreen wipers, ABS etc).
Please see the information under
“12 volt battery” in Section 4.
“48 volt” electrical circuit
The 48 V electrical circuit is denoted
by orange cables and parts bearing the
symbol
ṑ.
All interventions or modi-
fications to the vehicle’s
48 volt electrical system
(components, cables, con-
nectors, traction battery) are strictly
prohibited due to the risks this may
present to your safety. Call an ap-
proved Dealer.
Risk of electric shock.
A
The A symbol denotes the electrical
elements of your vehicle which may
present health risks.
The traction battery does
not require any mainte-
nance. You should not open
it or add any fluid.
Risk of electric shock.

“HYBRID ASSIST" SYSTEM: introduction (4/5)
Indicator of power
consumption/recovery
The indicator 6 allows you to find the
current consumption or recovery of
electrical energy of the 48 volt traction
battery. “Energy recovery” zone A
When driving, if you lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal or apply the brake,
the electric motor generates electrical
current during deceleration, and this
energy is used to slow down the vehicle
and recharge the 48 V traction battery.
“Neutral” zone 0
The 48 volt traction battery does not re-
cover and does not consume any elec-
trical energy.
The display of this information de-
pends on the vehicle.
“Assistance” zone B
The 48 volt traction battery supplies the
electrical energy required for the motor
to reduce fuel consumption.
“Full power” zone
C
While driving, the full power of the
motor is triggered when you go past the
resistance point as you depress the ac-
celerator.
This zone indicates significant con-
sumption of electrical energy. The
wheel 7 is displayed on the instrument
panel to inform you that maximum
power is being supplied to the motor to
increase the engine torque.
