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

Positions  A, C and D are accessible 
with the ignition on. Position  E is 
accessible only when the engine is 
running.
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 any event, replace them as soon 
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately every year (refer to the 
information on “Wiper blades: re-
placement” in section 5).
Precautions 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.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE (3/6)
 D  slow continuous wiping
  E  fast continuous wiping
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 windscreen wiper blades; 
a film of water or traces left by a 
blade in the sensor’s detection zone 
may increase the response time of 
the automatic wiper, or increase the 
wiping frequency;
–   a windscreen with any chip or crack 
level with the sensor, or a windscreen 
covered in dust, dirt, insects, ice, the 
use of washing wax and water-repel-
lent chemicals; the windscreen wiper 
will be less sensitive or may even not 
react at all. 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 premature 
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.

If the RENAULT card is no longer in the 
passenger compartment when you try 
to switch the engine off, the message 
“No keycard Press and hold” appears 
on the instrument panel: press button  2 
for longer than two seconds. If the card 
is no longer in the passenger compart-
ment, make sure you can retrieve it 
before pressing and holding the button. 
Without the  RENAULT,  card, you will 
not be able to start.
With the engine switched off, any ac-
cessories being used (radio, etc.) will 
continue to function for approximately 
10 minutes.
When the driver’s door is opened, the 
accessories stop working.
Driver’s responsibility 
when parking or stopping 
the vehicle
Never leave an animal, 
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for 
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves 
or to others by starting the engine, 
activating equipment such as the 
electric windows or locking the 
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, 
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS 
INJURY.
Never switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has 
stopped completely. Once 
the engine has stopped, the 
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc., and the passive safety de-
vices such as the airbags and pre-
tensioners will no longer operate.

higher than around 35°C);
–  the “Clear View” function is activated  (please see “Automatic climate con-
trol” in Section 3);
–  one of the two batteries is not suffi- ciently charged;
–  the vehicle speed is above 3 mph  (5 km/h) (downhill slope, etc.);
– repeated pressing on the brake  pedal or braking system require-
ment;
–  on vehicles fitted with a manual  gearbox, restarting may be inter-
rupted if the clutch pedal is released 
too quickly while a gear is engaged;

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.
