RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: usage (2/4)
Note: the distance at which the vehicle 
locks depends on the surroundings.
To indicate that the vehicle has been 
locked, the hazard warning lights and 
indicator lights flash once and then 
light up for approximately four sec-
onds, and a beep sounds in confirma-
tion.
“Hands-free” locking using the 
sensor 3
If you wish to lock your vehicle while the 
card is within range, make sure that the 
doors and boot are closed and place 
your finger over the sensor  3 on the 
driver’s door handle. The vehicle will 
lock.
Note: The sensor cannot be used to 
lock the vehicle unless the RENAULT 
card is within the access zone  1.
Special features of the locking 
system
Having locked the vehicle by pressing 
the sensor 3 , there is a delay of ap-
proximately three seconds before it can 
be unlocked again. During these three 
seconds, the door handles can be tried 
to make sure that the vehicle is locked 
properly.

The “hands-free” system may experi-
ence temporary difficulties if one of the 
sensors built into the inside of the door 
handle is obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, 
gritting salt etc.). Clean the sensors. If 
there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this 
mechanism is used to limit the force of 
the belt against the body so that it is at 
an acceptable level.
driver and passenger front 
Airbags
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is indi-
cated by the word “airbag” on the steer-
ing wheel, dashboard (in the area of the 
airbag A) and, depending on the vehi-
cle, a label on the lower section of the 
windscreen.
Each airbag system consists of:
–  an airbag and gas generator fitted on  the steering wheel for the driver and 
in the dashboard for the passenger;
–  an electronic unit for system monitor- ing which controls the gas generator 
electrical trigger system;
– remote sensors;
– a single 
å warning light on the 
instrument panel.
A
The airbag system uses py-
rotechnic principles. This 
explains why, when the 
airbag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does 
not mean that a fire is about to start) 
and make a banging noise. In a situ-
ation where an airbag is required, it 
will inflate immediately and this may 
cause some minor, superficial graz-
ing to the skin or other problems.

Vehicle fitted with front 
windscreen wiper rain sensor
The rain sensor is located on the winds-
creen, in front of the interior rear-view 
mirror.
 A single sweep
A short push will trigger one sweep 
of the wipers.
  B stop  
C  automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, the 
system detects water on the wind-
screen and triggers the wipers at a 
suitable wiping speed. It is possi-
ble to change the triggering thresh-
old and the time sweeps by turning 
ring 2:
–  F : minimum sensitivity
–  G : maximum sensitivity
The higher the sensitivity, the quic-
ker the wipers will react and the 
faster the wipe. When activating automatic wiping or 
when increasing sensitivity, one sweep 
of the blades is performed.
Note: 
–  
the rain sensor is only intended as a 
driving aid. In the event of reduced 
visibility, the driver should manually 
activate the wipers. In foggy weather 
or during snowfalls, wiping is not au-
tomatically triggered and remains 
under the driver’s control;
–   in the event of temperatures below 
zero, automatic wiping is not acti-
vated when the vehicle is started. It 
is automatically activated as soon as 
the vehicle exceeds a certain speed 
(approximately 5 mph (8 km/h));
–   do not activate automatic wiping in 
dry weather; 
–   fully de-ice the windscreen before 
activating automatic 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.

ENVIRONMENT
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to emit 
fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) while in 
use, and therefore to consume less fuel 
(eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to 5.3 l/100 
km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a 
particle filter system including a cata-
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and 
an active carbon filter (the latter pre-
vents vapour from the fuel tank being 
released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system 
also has a particle filter to reduce the 
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own 
contribution towards 
protecting the environment 
too
–  Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or 
filled with used oil) must be disposed 
of through specialist organisations. –  At the end of the vehicle’s service 
life, it should be sent to approved 
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
–  In all cases, comply with local legis- lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and 
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of 
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled. 
The materials and structures have 
been carefully designed to allow these 
components to be easily removed and 
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable 
or animal-derived materials such as 
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with 
respect for the environment in mind for 
its entire service life: during production, 
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the 
Renault eco² signature.Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at 
a factory which complies with a policy 
to reduce the environmental impact 
on the surrounding areas (reduction of 
water and energy consumption, visual 
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste). 

2.32
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (1/3)
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency 
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures 
the tyre pressure.
The system displays the current pres-
sures on the instrument panel 1 and 
alerts the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure.
Resetting the standard level 
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
–  when the standard tyre pressure  needs to be changed to adapt to 
usage conditions (empty, carrying a 
load, motorway driving, etc.);
–  after swapping a wheel (however  this practice is not recommended);
–  after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking 
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when 
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the 
current usage of the vehicle (empty, 
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
21
Resetting procedure
With the ignition on:
–  repeatedly and briefly press the con- trol  2 to select the tyre pressure dis-
play and, depending on the vehicle, 
the “Tyre pressure” function;
–  press and hold (around 3 seconds)  the button 2 to launch the reset. The 
flashing tyres followed by the mes-
sages “Learning TP initiated” and 
then “Tyres location in progress” in-
dicates that the reset request for the 
tyre pressure reference value has 
been acknowledged.
Reset can take several minutes of driv-
ing.
If the resetting is followed by short 
trips, the message “Tyres location in 
progress” can remain displayed after 
successive restarts.
Note
The standard tyre pressure cannot be 
less than that recommended and indi-
cated on the door frame.
3
Resetting can also be done from the 
multifunction screen 3  if your vehi-
cle is fitted with a navigation system. 
Select the menu “Vehicle”, “Tyre 
pressure”.
