above the lower edge of

the wheel rims.

– Do not try to maintain the same

speed up a hill, accelerate no more

than you would on flat ground. Keep

your foot in the same position on the

accelerator pedal.

– Double declutching and accelerating

before switching off are unnecessary

in modern vehicles.

Driving advice, Eco-driving

Behaviour

– Drive carefully for the first few miles

until the engine reaches its normal

operating temperature, rather than

let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-

tionary.

Obstructions to the driver

On the driver’s side, only

use mats suitable for the

vehicle, attached with the

pre-fitted components, and check

the fitting regularly. Do not lay one

mat on top of another.

– Speed is expensive.

– Dynamic driving with a lot of frequent

acceleration and braking is expen-

sive on fuel in comparison to the time

saved.

There is a risk of wedging the

pedals.

2.23

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (5/5)

– In vehicles fitted with air condi-

tioning, it is normal to observe an

increase in fuel consumption (espe-

cially in urban conditions) when it is

used. For vehicles fitted with manual

air conditioning, switch off the system

when it is not required.

Recommendations for reducing

consumption and therefore help-

ing to preserve the environment:

If the vehicle has been parked in the

sun, open the doors for a few mo-

ments to let the hot air escape before

starting the engine.

– Do not leave an empty roof rack

fitted to the vehicle.

– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-

jects.

– When towing a caravan, fit a wind

deflector and adjust it carefully.

– Avoid using the car for door-to-door

calls (short journeys with long waits

in between) because the engine

never reaches its normal operating

temperature.

Tyres

Advice on use

– An underinflated tyre increases fuel

consumption.

– Favour the ECO mode.

– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the

electrical components which are

not really needed. However (safety

first), keep your lights on when the

visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).

– Use the air vents. Driving with the

windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)

will increase fuel consumption by

4%.

– Opt for the highest speed pressure

or the pressure recommended to op-

timise fuel consumption indicated

on edge of the driver’s door (please

refer to the information on “Tyre infla-

tion pressure” in Section 4).

– The use of non-recommended tyres

can increase fuel consumption.

– Never fill the fuel tank right to the

brim to avoid overflow.

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE

Your vehicle complies with criteria for

recycling and recovering vehicles at the

end of their service life, which entered

into force in 2015.

In addition, replacing engine, fuel

supply system and exhaust compo-

nents with parts other than those origi-

nally recommended by the manufac-

turer may alter your vehicle so that it

no longer complies with anti-pollution

regulations.

Some parts of your vehicle have there-

fore been designed to facilitate future

recycling.

Exhaust gas monitoring

system

The exhaust gas monitoring system will

detect any operating faults in the vehi-

cle’s antipollution system.

If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-

stances may be released into the at-

mosphere or damage may occur.

Have your vehicle adjusted and

checked by an authorised dealer, in ac-

cordance with the instructions given in

your maintenance schedule: they will

have all the equipment necessary for

ensuring that your vehicle is maintained

to its original standard.

These parts are easy to remove so

that they can be recovered and reproc-

essed by recycling companies.

By virtue of its design, moderate fuel

consumption and initial settings, your

vehicle also conforms to current anti-

pollution regulations. The manufac-

turer is actively striving to reduce pol-

lutant exhaust gas emissions and to

save energy. But the fuel consumption

of your vehicle and the level of pollutant

exhaust gas emissions are also your

responsibility. Ensure that it is main-

tained and used correctly.

This warning light on the in-

strument panel will indicate if

there are any faults in the system:

This lights up when the ignition is

switched on and goes out when the

engine is started.

Ä

Engine adjustments

– Spark plugs: for optimum condi-

tions of use, output and performance

the specifications laid down by our

Design Department must be strictly

applied.

If the spark plugs have to be changed,

use the make, type and gap specified

for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an

authorised dealer for this.

– If it lights up continuously, consult an

approved Dealer as soon as possi-

ble;

– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed

until the light stops flashing. Contact

an authorised dealer as soon as pos-

sible.

Maintenance

It is important to remember that fail-

ure to respect antipollution regulations

could lead to legal action being taken

against the vehicle owner.

– Ignition and idle speed: no adjust-

ment is needed.

Refer to the information on

“Reagent tank” in Section 1.

ENVIRONMENT

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.

– At the end of the vehicle’s service

life, it should be sent to approved

centres to ensure that it is recycled.

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).

– In all cases, comply with local legis-

lation.

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).

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and

95% recoverable.

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).

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.

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.

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).

2

– repeatedly and briefly press control 2

to select the tyre pressure display

and 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.

– 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.

Reset can take several minutes of driv-

ing.

Tyre pressures must correspond to the

current usage of the vehicle (empty,

carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).

If the vehicle is equipped with the func-

tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-

sure.

If the resetting is followed by short

trips, the message “Tyres location in

progress” can remain displayed after

successive restarts.

Note

Operating principle

The standard tyre pressure cannot be

less than that recommended and indi-

cated on the door frame.

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 can also be done from the

multifunction screen 3 if your vehi-

cle is fitted with a navigation system.

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/10)

Depending on the vehicle, they will con-

sist of:

ABS (anti-lock braking

system)

Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents

the wheels from locking, allowing the

stopping distance to be managed and

keeping control of the vehicle.

– ABS (anti-lock braking system);

– ESC (electronic stability control)

with understeer control and trac-

tion control;

Under these circumstances, the vehi-

cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle

whilst braking. In addition, this system

can increase stopping distances, par-

ticularly on roads with low surface grip

(wet ground etc.).

– emergency brake assist;

– advanced traction control;

– active emergency braking;

– hill start assistance.

You will feel a pulsation through the

brake pedal each time the system is

activated. The ABS does not in any way

improve the vehicle's physical perform-

ance relating to the road surface and

roadholding. It is still essential to follow

the rules of good driving practice (such

as driving at a safe distance from the

vehicle in front etc.).

These functions are an ad-

ditional aid in the event of

critical driving conditions,

enabling the vehicle behav-

iour to be adapted to suit the driving

conditions.

The functions do not take the place

of the driver. They do not increase

the vehicle’s limits and should

not encourage you to drive more

quickly. Therefore, they can under

no circumstances replace the vigi-

lance or responsibility of the driver

when manoeuvring the vehicle (the

driver must always be ready for

sudden incidents which may occur

when driving).

In an emergency, apply firm and

continuous pressure to the brake

pedal. There is no need to pump

it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-

late the force applied in the braking

system.

In this case, the ESC and traction con-

trol system are deactivated. Consult an

authorised dealer.

This system helps to limit wheelspin of

the drive wheels and to control the ve-

hicle when pulling away accelerating or

decelerating.

Operating principle

A sensor in the steering wheel detects

the direction selected by the driver.

Using the wheel sensors, the system

measures and compares the speed of

the drive wheels at all times and slows

down their over-rotation. If a wheel is

starting to slip, the system brakes au-

tomatically until the drive supplied be-

comes compatible with the level of grip

under the wheel again.

The system also adjusts the engine

speed to the grip available under the

wheels, independently of the pressure

exerted on the accelerator pedal.

Other sensors throughout the vehicle

measure the actual direction.

The system compares driver input to

the actual trajectory of the vehicle and

corrects the trajectory if necessary by

controlling the braking of certain wheels

and/or engine power. In the event that

the system is engaged, indicator light

transferred to the wheels with the most

grip. This is particularly useful when

crossing a bridge.

OVERSPEED ALERT (1/3)

Once the speed limiter is activated, you

can adjust the speed limiter indication

displayed by the system.

Operating principle

The system detects speed limit signs

on the side of the road and displays the

speed limit.

This mainly uses information taken

from the camera 1, attached to the

windscreen behind the rear-view mirror.

1

In the event of exceeding the speed

limit, the sign display is modified (the

characters change to red or the circle

around the sign flashes) no notify you.

Note: Make sure the windscreen is not

obstructed (dirt, ice, snow, etc.).

Vehicle fitted with a navigation

system

– If the vehicle is travelling in a coun-

try where the speed units differ from

those of the vehicle, the system dis-

plays the speed limit sign in the unit

of the country, alongside the speed

limit converted to the unit used by the

vehicle’s instrument panel.

– For countries where the speed limit

is reduced during rainy weather on

some types of roads, the system can

modify the limited speed after a few

seconds of wiping the windscreen.

With the engine running, once you have

activated the system, dashes on the in-

strument panel notify the driver that the

system is running.

When a speed limit sign is detected,

this speed will replace the dashes for

a few seconds, after which the dashes

will come on again until the next speed

limit sign is detected.

The overspeed alert with signage panel

recognition notifies the driver that they

are exceeding the speed limit for the

section of road on which they are cur-

rently travelling.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/5)

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper

measure the distance between the ve-

hicle and an obstacle.

1

This measurement is indicated by

beeps which become more frequent the

closer you come to the obstacle, until

they become a continuous beep when

the vehicle is approximately 20 to

30 centimetres from the obstacle.

This function is an addi-

tional aid that indicates the

distance between the vehi-

cle and an obstacle whilst

reversing, using sound signals.

The system detects obstacles to the

front, the rear and the sides of the ve-

hicle.

The parking distance control system

is only activated when the vehicle is

driven at a speed below approximately

6 mph (10 km/h).

Under no circumstances should it

replace the driver’s care or respon-

sibility whilst reversing.

Special features

Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-

cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by

dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

The driver should always be ready

for sudden incidents while driv-

ing: always ensure that there are

Note: the display 2 shows the vehicle

surroundings and emits beeps.

Operation

Most objects located less near the

front, rear and sides of the vehicle are

detected.

It is necessary to travel a few metres

before the side detection is activated.

If all areas have a grey background, the

whole area around the vehicle is being

monitored:

Depending on the distance of the ob-

stacle, the frequency of the beep will

be higher while approaching it, and

will become a continuous beep around

20 cm away for obstacles to the sides,

and around 30 cm for obstacles to the

front or rear. Green, orange and red

zones will be displayed on the dis-

play C.

– the beeps become faster and then

sound continuously as the obstacle

gets nearer. Green, orange and red

zones will be displayed on the dis-

play D;

– if there is no risk of collision, no beep

will sound when approaching the ob-

stacle. Green, orange and red zones

will be displayed interspersed on the

display D.

Note: in the event of a change in tra-

jectory during a manoeuvre, the risk of

collision with an obstacle may be sig-

nalled late.

Detection of obstacles to the side

Depending on the direction of the

wheels, the system determines the tra-

jectory of the vehicle and notifies the

driver of any risk or otherwise of a col-

lision with an obstacle 3 to the side of

the vehicle.

An impact to the under-

side of the vehicle while

manoeuvring (e.g. strik-

ing a post, raised kerb or

other street furniture) may result in

damage to the vehicle (e.g. defor-

mation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved Dealer.

Operation

The fixed clearance gauge comprises

coloured markers A, B and C, indicat-

ing the distance behind the vehicle:

This is shown in blue on the multime-

dia screen 2. It indicates the vehicle tra-

jectory according to the position of the

steering wheel.

When the vehicle is reversing, the

camera 1 on the tailgate transmits a

view of the area surrounding the rear of

the vehicle to the multimedia display 2

accompanied by one of two guide

lines 4 and 3 (mobile and fixed).

– A (red) approximately 30 centime-

tres from the vehicle;

– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-

metres from the vehicle;

– C (green) approximately 150 centi-

metres from the vehicle.

Special feature

Make sure that the camera is not ob-

scured (by dirt, mud, snow, condensa-

tion etc.).

This system is initially used with the aid

of several gauges (mobile for trajectory

and fixed for distance). When the red

zone is reached, use the bumper image

to stop accurately.

This gauge remains fixed and indicates

the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are

in line with the vehicle.

ASSISTED PARKING (4/4)

This function is an additional driving aid. However, this function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the

due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

Make sure that the manoeuvre complies with the applicable traffic regulations at your location.

– The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles

(such as a child, animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when manoeu-

vring.

– The system cannot detect objects located in the sensor blind spots.

– When manoeuvring, the steering wheel may turn quickly: do not put your hands inside, and make sure that nothing is caught

inside.

– Always visually check that the parking space proposed by the system is still available and contains no obstacles.

– The system should be deactivated when towing a trailer.

In most road conditions you will en-

counter, you will not need to touch your

lever again: the gears will change au-

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)

Special cases

Special circumstances

In certain driving conditions (result-

ing in, for example, engine protection,

operation of the Electronic Stability

Control programme: ESC etc.) the au-

tomated system may change the gear

automatically.

Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-

vres, a gear change may be refused by

the automatic system: in this case the

gear display flashes for a few seconds

as a warning.

– If the bends and road surface do

not allow you to stay in automatic

mode (e.g. in the mountains), we

recommend that you change to

manual mode. This will prevent the

automatic gearbox from changing

gear repeatedly when climbing, and

permit engine braking on long de-

scents.

– In cold weather, start the engine

and wait a few seconds before

moving the selector lever from posi-

tion P or N and engaging it in D or R

to prevent the engine stalling.

1

Driving in manual mode

With the selection lever 1 in position D,

move the lever to the left.

Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you

to change gears manually:

– to move up through the gears, push

the lever forwards;

– to move down through the gears,

push the lever backwards.

The gear selected is displayed on the

instrument panel.

When facing uphill, to remain

stopped, do not keep your foot on

the accelerator.

Risk of overheating the automatic

gearbox.
