2018 RENAULT SCENIC wipers

Activation/deactivation of the rear
screen wiper
Engaging reverse gear triggers inter-
mittent wiping (if the front wipers are in
operation). If your vehicle is fitted with
a vehicle settings customisation menu,
you can opt to activate or deactivate
this function. To do this, refer to the in-
formation on the “Vehicle settings cus-
tomisation menu” in Section 1; “Rear
wiping in reverse gear”.
For vehicles not fitted with a settings
customisation menu, you can have this
function deactivated by an authorised
dealer.
REAR SCREEN WASH, WIPE (2/2)
pRear screen wash/wipe
With the ignition on, push and
hold stalk 1, then release.
A longer action will trigger three sweeps
of the wipers followed, a few seconds
later, by a fourth, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
In the event of obstacles present on the
rear window (dirt, snow, etc.), the wiper
will try to sweep away all the obstacles.
If an obstacle prevents the blade from
moving, it can be stopped. Remove the
obstacle, wait for around 30 seconds
and reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.
Precautions
–
In the event of ice, check that the
blades are not stuck to the wind-
screen before operating the wipers.
If you activate the wiper while the
blade is blocked by ice, you risk
damaging both the blade and the
wiping motor.
– Do not operate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to the prema-
ture wear or damage to the blades.

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.

2.16
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.

WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES: replacement (1/2)

Refitting
Offer up the blade 3 of the wiper arm 1
at an angle of 30°.
Slide the blade along the arm until
it clips on. Check that it is correctly
locked in place. Lower the windscreen
wiper arm carefully.
With the ignition on, return the wind-
screen wiper stalk to the stop position.
The blade on the driver’s side must
always be above the passenger blade.
If this is not the case, a quick sweep of
the windscreen wipers should be per-
formed once the vehicle is travelling at
over 4 mph (7 km/h).– In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating or damaging the
blades).
– Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.
Note: before restarting your vehicle,
lower the windscreen wiper blades
onto the windscreen to avoid any risk
of damaging the bonnet or the wipers.
