3 Integrated key.

4 Switching on the lighting remotely.

5 Locking/unlocking the luggage compartment.

The RENAULT card is used for:

– locking/unlocking the doors and luggage compartment (doors, luggage compartment) and the fuel filler flap

(see the following pages);

– depending on the vehicle, automatic closing of windows and sunroof

(refer to the information on the “Onetouch electric windows: remote control closing” and “Electric sunroof: remote control closing” in Section 3);

Battery life

RENAULT cards are powered by a battery which must be replaced when battery tell-tale light 4 no longer lights up (refer to the information on the

“RENAULT card: battery" in Section 5).

Special note: for some vehicles, the

RENAULT card records the settings selected by the card user: the choice of settings for the automatic climate control, some radios, electric seats (if this is stored), the rear view mirror positioning, etc. It is therefore advisable always to keep the same RENAULT card so that you can recall your personal settings.

1.2

“HANDS-FREE” RENAULT CARD: general information (2/3)

RENAULT card operating range

This varies according to the surroundings. It is important to make sure when handling the RENAULT card that you do not lock or unlock the doors by inadvertently pressing the buttons.

Advice

Avoid leaving the card in hot, cold or humid areas.

Do not keep the RENAULT card in a place where it could be bent or damaged accidentally, such as in a back pocket of a garment.

When the battery is flat, you can still lock/unlock and start your vehicle. Refer to the information on

“Locking/unlocking the doors” in

Section 1 and “Starting the engine” in Section 2.

Driver’s responsibility

Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card inside and never leave a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even for a short while.

If a door or the tailgate is open or not closed properly, the doors and tailgate lock/unlock quickly.

Doors and tailgate status indicator light

When the ignition is switched on, the indicator light integrated in switch 5 informs you of the status of the doors and tailgate:

– light on, the doors and tailgate are locked,

– light off, the doors and tailgate are unlocked.

When you lock the doors, the indicator light remains lit for approximately one minute then goes out.

After locking/unlocking the vehicle only using the buttons on the

RENAULT card, remote locking and unlocking in hands-free mode are deactivated.

To reactivate the “hands-free” mode: restart the vehicle.

Driver’s responsibility

If you decide to keep the doors locked when you are driving, remember that it may be more difficult for those assisting you to gain access to the passenger compartment in the event of an emergency.

Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card inside.

1.11

RENAULT ANTI-INTRUDER DEVICE (RAID)

You can decide whether you want to activate this function.

Operating principle

When the vehicle is started, the system automatically locks the doors when you are driving at approximately 6 mph

(10 km/h) and over.

1.12

Operating faults

If you notice an operating fault (automatic locking impossible), first check that all doors are correctly locked. If they are correctly locked and the fault is still present, contact an approved

Dealer.

Also make sure that locking has not been inadvertently deactivated.

If it has, switch the ignition off and on again and reactivate it.

ENGINE IMMOBILISER

This prevents the vehicle from being started by anyone not in possession of the vehicle’s RENAULT card.

The vehicle is automatically protected a few seconds after the engine is switched off.

1

2

Any unauthorised work carried out on the engine immobiliser (computers, wiring, etc.) could be dangerous. Work must be carried out by qualified personnel.

Operating principle

As soon as the system detects the card, indicator light 1 comes on continuously for a few seconds then goes out.

The vehicle has recognised the code and the engine can be started.

If the vehicle does not recognise the code, indicator light 1 and card reader 2 will flash (rapid flashing), and the vehicle cannot be started.

1.13

ENGINE IMMOBILISER (continued)

1

Operating fault warning light

If there is interference and/or the handsfree RENAULT card is not recognised, insert it in card reader 2 .

If warning light 1 continues to flash or remains continuously lit, then the card is present but it is not recognised; this indicates that there is an operating fault in the system.

Indicator lights

Vehicle protection tell-tale light

A few seconds after the ignition has been switched off, warning light 1 will flash continuously.

2

If the RENAULT card is faulty (card reader and warning light 1 flashing rapidly), use the second RENAULT card

SEAT BELTS (1/3)

Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.

Before starting, first adjust your driving position, then ask all occupants to adjust their seat belts to ensure optimum protection.

Incorrectly adjusted or twisted seat belts may cause injuries in the event of an accident.

Use one seat belt per person, whether child or adult.

Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this case, ensure that the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen but do not allow any slack.

Adjusting your driving position

– Sit well back in your seat (having removed your coat or jacket etc.).

This is essential to ensure your back is positioned correctly.

– Adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals.

Your seat should be as far back as possible while still allowing you to depress the clutch pedal fully. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel.

– Adjust the position of your headrest.

For the maximum safety, your head must be as close as possible to the headrest.

The top of your head should be in line with the top of the headrest.

– Adjust the height of the seat.

This adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible view.

– Adjust the position of the steering wheel.

1

2

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.

Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as possible to the base of the neck but not on it.

Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the thighs and against the pelvis.

The seat belt should be worn so that it is as close as possible to your body, i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects under the belts, etc.

1.21

SEAT BELTS (3/3)

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.

– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.

– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.

– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around them.

– The belt should never be twisted.

– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.

– When refitting the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.

– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.

– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly secured.

– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

1.22

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)

These are:

– buckle pretensioners,

– lap belt pretensioners in the front seats,

– force limiters,

– air bags for driver and front passenger.

These systems are designed to act independently or together when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger:

– seat belt locking;

– the buckle pretensioner (which engages to correct seat belt slack);

– the lap pretensioner, the low volume front air bag and the force limiter;

– the large volume front air bag.

2

1

Pretensioners

In the event of a severe frontal impact and if the ignition is switched on, the system may engage the following depending on the force of the impact:

– piston 1 which immediately retracts the seat belt;

– piston .

The pretensioners hold the seat belt against the body and thus increase its efficiency.

– Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.

– No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, air bags, computers, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.

– To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified personnel from an approved dealer may work on the pretensioner and air bag system.

– The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially trained technician using special equipment.

– When the vehicle is scrapped, contact an approved dealer for disposal of the pretensioner and air bag gas generators.

1.23

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)

Force limiter

Above a certain level of impact force, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.

B

A

Each air bag system consists of:

– an air bag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger;

– a shared electronic unit which includes the impact detector and a monitoring system which controls the ignition module for the gas generator;

– a single

å

warning light on the instrument panel.

Air bags for driver A and front passenger B

An air bag may be provided for both the driver and the front passenger.

An “Air bag” marking on the steering wheel, dashboard and, depending on the vehicle, the lower section of the windscreen inform you of the presence of additional means of restraint (air bags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passenger compartment.

The air bag system uses pyrotechnic principles. This explains why, when the air bag inflates, it will generate heat, produce smoke (this does not mean that a fire is about to start) and make a noise upon detonation.

In a situation where an air bag is required, it will inflate immediately and this may cause some minor, superficial grazing to the skin or other problems.

1.24

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)

Operating faults

å

This warning light will light up on the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on and then go out after a few seconds.

If it does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or comes on when the engine is running, there is a fault in the system.

Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be reduced until this fault is rectified.

Operation

This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.

If a severe frontal impact occurs, the air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver’s head and chest against the steering wheel and the front passenger’s head against the dashboard. The air bag then deflates immediately so that the passengers are not impeded in any way when they get out of the vehicle.

Special feature of the front air bag

There are two volumes of operation depending on the severity of the impact:

– low volume air bag, this is the first stage of operation;

– large volume air bag, the air bag seams rip so that a larger volume of gas is released into the bag (for the most severe impacts).

1.25

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag

– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.

– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.

– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone cradle, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.

– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).

– Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: sit with your arms slightly bent (see Section 1 “Adjusting your driving position”). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger air bag

– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone cradle, etc.) to the dashboard in the air bag zone.

– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (animal, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).

– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. As a general rule, keep all body parts (knees, hands, head, etc.) away from the dashboard.

– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS

THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

(Refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag” in Section 1).

1.26

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

B

A

A

Curtain air bags B

These are fitted on both upper sides of the vehicle. They deploy along the front and rear side windows to protect occupants in the event of a severe side impact.

Depending on the vehicle, a marking on the windscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (air bags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passenger compartment.

Side air bags A

These are fitted to the front seats and, depending on the vehicle, the rear door panels for the first rear row. They are triggered at the side of the seats (door side) to protect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.

The slits on the seatbacks

(door side) correspond to the area of air bag operation: Never place any objects here.

Warning concerning the side air bag

– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.

– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

1.27

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.

The air bags are not always triggered if the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe. Impacts to the underside of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air bag system (air bags, arches, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel may work on the air bag system.

– As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.

– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle.

– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

1.28

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)

Carrying children

Children, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys.

The children being carried in your vehicle are your responsibility.

A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection.

Use an approved child seat and ensure you use it correctly.

To prevent the doors being opened, use the “Child safety” device (refer to the information on “Opening and closing the doors” in Section 1).

A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres.

Transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a fourthfloor balcony without railings.

Never travel with a child held in your arms. In the event of an accident, you will not be able to keep hold of the child, even if you yourself are wearing a seat belt.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child seat and have the seat belts and

ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle

Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on 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 by locking the doors.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS

INJURY.

1.29

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

Using a child seat

The level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to restrain your child and on its installation.

Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact.

Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations for the country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an approved dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle.

Before fitting a child seat, read the manual and respect its instructions. If you experience any difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Keep the instructions with the seat.

Set a good example by always fastening your seat belt and teaching your child:

– to strap themselves in correctly;

– to always get in and out of the car at the kerb, away from busy traffic.

Do not use a second-hand child seat or one without an instruction manual.

Check that there are no objects in the vicinity of the child seat which could impede its operation.

Never leave a child unattended in the vehicle.

Check that your child is always strapped in and that the belt or safety harness used is correctly set and adjusted. Avoid wearing bulky clothing which could cause the belts to slacken.

Never let your child put their head or arms out of the window.

Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, especially if asleep.

1.30

CHILD SAFETY: Choosing a child seat

Rear-facing child seats

A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this position as long as possible (until the age of

2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck.

Choose a bucket type seat for best side protection and change it as soon as the child’s head is higher than the shell.

Forward-facing child seats

The child’s head and abdomen need to be protected as a priority. A forward-facing child seat which is firmly attached to the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact to the head. Ensure your child travels in a forward-facing seat with a harness or buckle for as long as their size permits.

Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.w

Booster cushions

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can travel using a booster seat, which will enable the seat belt to be adapted to suit his size and shape. The booster seat cushion must be fitted with guides to position the seat belt on the child’s thighs rather than the stomach. It is recommended that you use a seatback which can be adjusted in terms of height to position the seat belt in the centre of the shoulder. It must never rest on the neck or on the arm.

Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.

1.31

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (1/2)

There are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the

ISOFIX system.

Attachment via the seat belt

The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact.

Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are respected.

Always check that the seat belt is correctly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.

Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front: the seat should remain firmly fixed.

Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting against a window.

Do not use the child seat if it may unfasten the seat belt restraining it: the base of the seat must not rest on the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt.

The seat belt must never be twisted or the tension relieved. Never pass the shoulder strap under the arm or behind the back.

Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges.

If the seat belt does not operate normally, it will not protect the child.

Consult an approved dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired.

No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system

(ISOFIX seat belts, seats and their mountings) originally fitted.

1.32

Attachment using the ISOFIX system

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are approved in accordance with regulation

ECE-R44 in one of the three following scenarios:

– ISOFIX universal 3-point forwardfacing seat

– ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat

– specific

For the latter two, check that your child seat can be installed by consulting the list of compatible vehicles.

Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.

The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings and, in some cases, a third ring.

Before using an ISOFIX child seat that you purchased for another vehicle, check that its installation is authorised. Consult the list of vehicles which can be fitted with the seat from the equipment manufacturer.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (2/2)

1

To access ring 3 , lower cover 4 shown by a marking on the back of the seat.

Fix the hook of the strap onto ring 3 and pull the strap so that the seatback of the child seat comes into contact with the seatback of the vehicle seat.

2

The two rings 1 are located between the seatback and the seat base of the seat and are identified by a marking.

To ensure your child seat can be easily fitted and locked on rings 1 , use access guides 2 on the child seat.

3 4

The third ring is used to attach the upper strap on some child seats.

The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat belt or other objects to these anchorage points.

Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage points checked and replace your child seat.

1.33

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/4)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagram on the following page shows you how to attach a child seat.

The types of child seats indicated may not be available. Before using a different child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted.

In the front seat

The laws concerning children travelling in the front passenger seat differ in every country. Consult the legislation in force and follow the indications on the diagram on the following page.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if authorised):

– lower the seat belt as far as possible;

– move the seat as far back as possible;

– gently tilt the seatback away from vertical (approximately 25°);

– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat base as far as possible.

Do not change these settings after the child seat is installed.

Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.

Check that when installing the child seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of coming loose from its base.

If you have to remove the headrest, check that it is correctly stored so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.

Always attach the child seat to the vehicle even if it is not in use so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: before fitting a rear-facing child seat in this position, check that the air bag has been deactivated (refer to the information on

“Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag” in

Section 1).

In the rear seat

A carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest the door.

Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing child seat, then move back the seat in front as far as it will go, although without allowing it to come into contact with the child seat.

For the safety of the child in the forward-facing seat, do not move the seat in front back past the middle of the runner, do not tilt the seatback too far

(maximum of 25° ) and raise the seat as much as possible.

Check that the forward-facing child seat is resting against the back of the vehicle seat and that the headrest of the vehicle is not obstructing its use.

To install a large rear-facing ISOFIX child seat (size C) in the 2 nd row, fit the seats in the centred position or use the centre seat.

When you leave your vehicle, especially if you have your RENAULT card with you, check that the engine is completely switched off.

Driver’s responsibility

Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card inside and never leave a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even for a short while.

There is a risk that they could start the engine or operate electrical equipment (electric windows etc.) and trap part of their body (neck, arms, hands, etc.).

Risk of serious injury.

Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely.

Once the engine has stopped, the brake servo, power-assisted steering, etc. and the passive safety devices such as air bags and pretensioners will no longer operate.

2.5

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS

The following operating conditions should be avoided:

– driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit up,

– using leaded petrol,

– using fuel or lubrication additives which are not approved.

Or operating faults such as:

– faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs resulting in the engine misfiring or cutting out when driving;

– loss of power, may cause the catalytic converter to overheat, reducing its efficiency which may irreparably damage it and cause heat damage to the vehicle.

If you notice any of the above operating faults, have the necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible by an approved dealer.

These faults may be avoided by regularly taking your vehicle to an approved

Dealer at the intervals specified in the

Maintenance Document.

Starting problems

To avoid damaging the catalytic converter, do not keep trying to start the engine (using the start button, or by pushing or towing the vehicle) without having identified and corrected the cause of the fault .

If the fault cannot be identified, do not continue to try and start the engine, but contact an approved dealer.

Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such as grass or leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.

2.6

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

ú

warning light comes on, accompanied by the message “Check antipollution”, consult an approved dealer as soon as possible.

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.

Running out of fuel

After filling the tank if you have run completely out of fuel , the engine may be started normally on condition that the battery is fully charged: see the information on the “Fuel tank” in Section

1 to find out more about the special features of diesel versions fitted with commonrail (high-pressure) injection.

However, if the engine fails to start after a few seconds and several attempts, contact an approved dealer.

Precautions to be taken in winter

To avoid faults in icy weather:

– Ensure that the battery is always well charged.

– Always keep the diesel tank relatively full to avoid water vapour condensing in it and accumulating at the bottom of the tank.

Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such as grass or leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.

Indicator light 2 on the dashboard and indicator light 3 on the instrument panel light up to confirm that the assisted parking brake is applied. Indicator lights 3 and 2 go out when the doors are locked. Depending on the vehicle, the “parking brake applied” message may appear on the instrument panel.

Note:

When the driver’s door is opened, if the assisted parking brake is not applied, a beep will sound and, depending on the vehicle, the message “apply parking brake” appears on the instrument panel, in this case, to immobilise the vehicle; you must then release handle 1 .

For some country-specific versions, the automatic application function is not activated. Refer to the information on

“manual mode”.

Applying the assisted parking brake

Manual mode

Pull out and release handle 1 .

Automatic mode

(depending on country)

The electronic parking brake ensures automatic vehicle immobilisation when the engine is stopped by pressing the engine start/stop button.

In all other instances, e.g. engine stalling, the assisted parking brake is not applied automatically. Manual mode must be used.

Before leaving the vehicle, check that the assisted parking brake is fully applied.

The assisted parking brake is not applied automatically when the engine is running.

In all cases, the assisted parking brake can be applied manually, e.g. when stopping at a red light or on a slope.

To do this, pull out and release handle 1 .

The brake will be released automatically as soon as the vehicle starts again and accelerates.

Special cases

If you have to park on a slope or are towing a trailer, keep handle 1 pulled out for a few seconds to obtain the maximum braking effect.

To park the vehicle without applying the assisted parking brake (if there is a risk of freezing, for example):

– with the engine running, insert the

RENAULT card into the reader or check that it is present in the reader;

– stop the engine by pressing the engine Start/Stop button;

– select a gear (manual gearbox) or position P (automatic gearbox);

– pull handle 1 while pressing unlocking button 4 and then release;

– remove the RENAULT card from the card reader.

When the engine is running, and if you leave the vehicle, you must apply the assisted parking brake manually.

Emergency unlocking

(battery fault or system failure).

To release the assisted parking brake: lift cover 7 and pull handle 6 until the unlocking noise can be heard.

This control cannot be used to reapply the parking brake.

After having replaced the battery, the system will be operational from the first manual release command.

Operating faults

– In the event of a fault, a warning message appears on the display

(depending on the vehicle) and depending on the case, warning light 2 flashes and warning light 5 lights up.

– If the assisted parking brake cannot be used, indicator light 3 flashes for approximately 10 seconds when the engine is started, then goes out.

Each time handle 1 is used and each time the engine is switched off indicator lights 2 and 3 will flash for

10 seconds.

Contact an approved dealer as soon as possible.

Never leave a child (or a pet) in the vehicle with the

RENAULT card in the card reader or passenger compartment. They could release the parking brake and cause the vehicle to move off unintentionally.

2.10

GEAR LEVER/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING

1

The reversing lights will come on as soon as reverse gear is selected with the ignition on.

Vehicles fitted with parking distance control: refer to the information on the

“Parking distance control” in Section 2 for details of the special features.

Gear lever

Selecting reverse gear

With the vehicle stationary, shift the gear lever into neutral then into reverse.

Vehicle with manual gearbox: follow the gate drawn on the knob, and depending on the vehicle, lift ring 1 against the gear lever knob to select reverse.

An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: deformation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer.

Power-assisted steering

If you have power-assisted steering fitted, do not leave the steering wheel at full lock while stationary as this may damage the pump.

Variable power-assisted steering

The variable power-assisted steering system is equipped with an electronic control system which alters the level of assistance to suit the vehicle speed.

Steering is made easier during parking manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst the force needed to steer increases progressively as the speed rises (for enhanced safety at high speeds).

Never switch off the ignition when travelling downhill, and avoid doing so in normal driving (assistance is not provided).

2.11

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving

Your vehicle complies with criteria for recycling and recovering vehicles at the end of their service life which will come into force in 2015.

Some parts of your vehicle have therefore been designed to facilitate future recycling.

These parts are easy to remove so that they can be recovered and reprocessed by recycling companies.

By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle also conforms to current antipollution regulations. The manufacturer is actively striving to reduce pollutant 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 maintained and used correctly.

Maintenance

It is important to remember that failure to respect antipollution regulations could lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel supply system and exhaust components with parts other than those originally recommended by the manufacturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.

Have your vehicle adjusted and checked by an approved Dealer, in accordance with the instructions given in your Maintenance Service Booklet: they will have all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.

Engine adjustments

– ignition: this does not require adjustment.

– spark plugs: for optimum fuel economy, efficiency 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 approved dealer for this.

– idle: this does not require adjustment.

– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged element reduces performance. It must be replaced.

2.12

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (continued)

Exhaust gas monitoring system

The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle’s antipollution system.

If this system malfunctions, toxic substances may be released into the atmosphere or damage may occur.

Ä

This warning light on the instrument 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.

– If it lights up continuously, consult your approved dealer as soon as possible;

– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.

Driving

– 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 stationary.

– Speed is expensive.

– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.

– Do not overrev the engine in the intermediate gears.

Always use the highest gear possible without labouring the engine.

On versions with an automatic transmission, it is preferable to keep the gear lever in position D .

– Brake as little as possible by suitably anticipating an obstacle or bend and then simply releasing the accelerator pedal.

– Avoid sudden acceleration.

– Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.

– Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary in modern vehicles.

– Bad weather, flooded roads.

Do not drive through floods if the water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.

Obstructions to the driver

On the driver’s side, only use mats adapted to the vehicle that attach to the preinstalled parts, and regularly check their mounting. Do not place several mats on top of each other.

Risk of pedals jamming

2.13

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (continued)

Advice on use

– Electricity is fuel: switch off all electrical components when you no longer need them. However (safety first), keep your lights on when the visibility is poor (“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%.

– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.

– In vehicles fitted with air conditioning , it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (especially in city conditions) when it is used. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.

In order to minimise consumption and help to protect the environment: it is recommended to drive with the air vents on and the windows closed. If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.

– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.

– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky objects.

– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.

– Avoid using the vehicle for doorto-door calls (short journeys with long waits in between) because the engine never reaches its normal operating temperature.

Tyres

– Under-inflated tyres increase fuel consumption.

– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

2.14

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 of the manufacturer 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 emissions and waste water; sorting and reusing waste).

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 catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor and an active carbon filter (the latter prevents 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 (vehicle battery, oil filter, air filter, batteries, 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 legislation.

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and

95% recoverable.

To achieve these objectives, many of the vehicle components have been designed 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 resources, this vehicle incorporates numerous parts made from recycled plastics or renewable materials (vegetable or animal-derived materials such as cotton or wool).

2.15

TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR

If the vehicle is equipped with the function, this system monitors the tyre pressure.

Operating principle

Each wheel (except for the emergency spare wheel) has a sensor in the inflation valve which periodically measures the tyre pressure.

The system informs the driver that the tyres are sufficiently inflated and warns if they are underinflated or if there is a leak.

The tyre pressures can be adjusted when cold (refer to the information on

“Tyre pressure” for the values).

If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold , the normal pressures must be increased by 0.2 to

0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

This function is an additional driving aid.

However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.

Check the tyre pressures, including the emergency spare wheel, once a month.

D green ring

Fitting tyres

(replacing tyres or fitting winter tyres)

Since replacing tyres requires special precautions, we advise you to contact your approved dealer.

Reading the tyre pressure on the instrument panel (if fitted to the vehicle).

After the vehicle’s tyre pressures have been checked, the warning messages on the instrument panel and/or the values read on the trip computer and warning system are updated once you exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).

2.17

TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR

Emergency spare wheel

The emergency spare wheel has no sensor, and cannot be recognised by the system.

When it is fitted in the place of another wheel, the system then detects an operating fault.

Replacing wheels/tyres

This system requires specific equipment (wheels, hubcaps, etc.).

Contact an approved dealer to find out about accessories compatible with the system and which may be purchased from the brand’s accessory outlets: the use of any other accessory could affect the correct operation of the system.

Tyre repair products

Because the valves are specially designed, use only products approved by our Technical Department.

“Check tyre pressure”

A shaded wheel B indicates a deflated tyre.

“Inflate tyres to motorway pressure”

The tyre pressure is not suitable for the speed of travel. Slow down or inflate all four tyres to “motorway pressure”

(refer to the label located on the label on the edge of the driver’s door).

“Wheel sensors missing”

One wheel A disappears, indicating that the sensor on this wheel is missing or faulty (e.g. if the emergency spare wheel is fitted).

“Stop! Tyre puncture”

Replace the wheel B concerned or call your approved dealer.

This message appears along with the

û

warning light.

Operating faults

In certain conditions involving readjustment of tyre pressures, the fault message may continue to be displayed (for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes after the vehicle has stopped).

2.19

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP

This system helps to keep control of the vehicle in critical driving situations

(avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip when cornering, etc.) and works in conjunction with the understeer control system.

A

This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behaviour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.

However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.

Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

Operating principle

A sensor in the steering wheel detects the direction selected by the driver.

Other sensors throughout the vehicle measure the actual direction.

The system compares the direction selected by the driver and the actual direction of the vehicle and corrects this as necessary by applying the brakes selectively and/or acting on the engine power.

When the function begins to operate, warning light A flashes to warn you.

If the warning light comes on accompanied by the “ESP deactivated” message when the engine is started, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.

Understeer control

This system optimises the action of the

ESP in the case of pronounced understeering (loss of front axle road holding).

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating fault the message “Check ESP” appears on the instrument panel along with the ing light A .

ú

warning light and warn-

2.20

TRACTION CONTROL: ASR (1/2)

This system helps to limit wheelspin of the drive wheels and to control the vehicle when pulling away or accelerating.

A

This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behaviour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.

However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.

Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

Operating principle

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 automatically until the drive supplied becomes 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.

When the function begins to operate, warning light A flashes to warn you.

2.21

TRACTION CONTROL: ASR (2/2)

A

1

Disabling the function

In some situations (driving on very wet ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with snow chains fitted), the system may reduce the engine output to limit wheelspin. If this is not required, it is possible to deactivate the function by pressing switch 1 .

The message “‘ESP deactivated” appears to inform you, accompanied by warning light A .

Disabling the function also disables the

ESP function.

Correct this as soon as possible by pressing switch 1 again.

Traction control is automatically reactivated when the ignition is switched on.

Operating faults

If the system detects an operating fault, the message “Check ESP” is displayed on the instrument panel display along with the ing light A .

ú

warning light and warn-

Consult an approved dealer.

If the warning light comes on accompanied by the “ESP deactivated” message when the engine is started, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.

2.22

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS

Under heavy braking, the essential requirements are to limit the stopping distance and keep your vehicle under control. However, there is a risk that roadholding and directional control may be lost and the wheels may lock under braking, depending on the nature of the ground, weather conditions and your reactions. The Anti-lock Braking

System (ABS) has been designed to combat this danger.

The safety enhancement is that the brake control system prevents the wheels from locking, even if the brakes are applied too sharply, and allows the vehicle to be steered and thus its direction to be controlled. Under these circumstances it is quite possible for the driver to steer the vehicle and to avoid an obstacle whilst at the same time applying the brake.

This system also allows you to optimise stopping distances when the grip of one or more wheels may be lost (wet roads, slippery or varying road surfaces).

Although this system allows you to benefit from optimum stopping distances, even with the ABS you must still take account of the actual condition of the road surface. It is still essential to follow the rules of good driving practice (such as driving at a safe distance from the vehicle in front). The fact that the vehicle’s safety has been increased should not encourage you to take risks.

You will feel pulsing through the brake pedal each time the system is activated.

These tangible signs will warn you that the adhesion between the tyres and the ground has reached its limit and enable you to adapt your driving style to suit the road conditions.

2.23

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS (continued)

One of two situations may arise if there is a fault in the ABS system:

1 – Orange warning light on the instrument panel.

Braking is still performed, but without the ABS system. Contact an approved

Dealer as soon as possible.

ment panel.

are lit on the instru-

This indicates that both the braking system and the ABS system are faulty. Your braking systems are only partially operational. However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and it is essential to stop immediately, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Contact an approved Dealer.

Also, on equipped vehicles, the message “Check ABS” appears on the display A .

The braking modulation provided by the ABS is independent of the effort applied to the brake pedal. In an emergency, apply firm and continuous pressure to the brake pedal

There is no need to pump it repeatedly.

2.24

EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST

This system is complementary to the

ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping distances.

Operating principle

The system allows an emergency braking situation to be detected via a sensor that measures the speed with which the brake pedal is depressed. In this case, the braking assistance instantly provides its maximum power.

ABS braking is maintained as long as the brake pedal is applied.

Hazard warning lights activation

These may light up in the event of rapid deceleration.

In this case, the hazard warning lights may be switched off by pressing the hazard warning lights switch twice.

This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behaviour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.

However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.

Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

Recalling the limit speed

It is possible to recall a memorised speed by pressing button 3 once.

Limit speed cannot be maintained

In some driving conditions (for example when driving up or down a steep gradient), the system is unable to maintain the limit speed: the memorised speed on the instrument panel information display will flash to inform you of this situation.

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is interrupted when you press:

– button 4 , in this case, the limit speed remains memorised,

– button , in this case, there is no longer a memorised limit speed.

The instrument panel indicator light goes out, confirming that the function is stopped.

CRUISE CONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function

2 3

1

The cruise control function helps you to maintain your driving speed at a speed that you choose, called the cruising speed .

This cruising speed may be set at any speed above 18 mph (30 km/h).

This function is an additional driving aid. However, the function does not take the place of the driver.

Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the driver’s responsibility to respect speed limits and to be vigilant (the driver must always be ready to brake). Cruise control must not be used in heavy traffic, on winding or slippery roads (black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).

There is a risk of accidents.

– depress the brake pedal,

– depress the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has an automatic gearbox,

– press button .

In all three cases, the cruising speed is memorised.

Pressing button 2 or 5 reactivates the cruise control function without taking into account the memorised speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account.

2.32

Switching off the function

Press on/off switch 1 : in this case, the speed is no longer stored.

The instrument panel indicator light goes out, confirming that the function is stopped.

Putting the cruise control on standby or switching it off does not cause a rapid reduction in speed: you must brake by depressing the brake pedal.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

Operating principle

Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the front or rear bumper depending on the vehicle, measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing.

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 32 centimetres from the obstacle.

Special features

Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating fault there will be a 5-second, continuous warning beep when reverse gear is selected. Consult an approved dealer.

This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.

Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibility whilst reversing.

The driver should always pay attention to sudden incidents 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 manoeuvring.

When the vehicle is being driven at a speed below 7 mph (12 km/h), certain noises (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the beeping sound.

10 seconds.

You can reactivate the system by pressing the switch again: the warning light will go out and “parking distance control activated” message will be displayed on the instrument panel for approximately 10 seconds.

The system is automatically reactivated after the ignition is switched off and the engine restarted.

Operation

Rear parking distance control is only activated when reverse is selected.

You can deactivate the system for prolonged periods by pressing the switch for longer than approximately three seconds.

The warning light in the switch stays on and the “parking distance control deactivated” message appears on the instrument panel for approximately

10 seconds.

Once deactivated, the system can be reactivated by pressing the button again for longer than approximately three seconds. The warning light on the switch will go out and the “parking distance control activated” message will be displayed on the instrument panel for approximately 10 seconds.

An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: deformation of an axle).

Vehicles fitted with front and rear parking distance control

When reverse gear is selected , the system switches automatically to manoeuvre mode.

Any object located less than approximately 1 metre away from the front and/ or less than 1.50 metres from the rear of the vehicle is detected and a beep sound is emitted.

If there are obstacles located close to both the front and rear of the vehicle, only the closest of the two will be acknowledged and the corresponding front or rear beep sound will be emitted.

If obstacles are detected both to the front and to the rear of the vehicle at the same time, and they are both within

30 centimetres from the vehicle, the corresponding front and rear beeps will be emitted alternately.

Operation

As long as the vehicle is being driven at a speed below 7 mph (12 km/h) or thereabouts, the parking distance control system remains on.

Any object located less than approximately 60 centimetres away from the front of the vehicle is detected and a beep is emitted.

Manual activation/ deactivation of the front and rear parking distance control

The system deactivates:

– when the parking brake is applied;

– when the vehicle speed is above

7 mph (12 km/h);

– when the vehicle is stationary for more than approximately five seconds (such as when in a traffic jam or waiting at red lights, etc.);

– when the vehicle is in neutral or when the gear lever has been shifted to N or P for automatic gearboxes;

– if a caravan or trailer is fitted with a detection system.

2.36

REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)

2 3

1

Operation

When reversing, the camera 1 (on the tailgate) transmits a view of the surroundings of the rear of the vehicle to the instrument panel accompanied by two guide lines 2 and 3 (mobile and static).

This system is used with the aid of gauges (mobile for trajectory and static for distance). When the red zone is reached, use the bumper image to stop accurately.

Note:

– depending on the vehicle, certain settings can be adjusted. Please refer to the multimedia equipment instructions;

– make sure that the reversing camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow...).

This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.

The driver should always pay attention to sudden incidents 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 manoeuvring.

Static guide line 3 :

The fixed clearance gauge comprises coloured markers A , B and C indicating the distance behind the vehicle:

– A (red) approximately 50 centimetres from the vehicle;

– B (yellow) approximately 1 metre from the vehicle;

– C (green) approximately 2 to

3 metres from the vehicle.

This gauge remains fixed and indicates the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are in line with the vehicle.

Mobile guide line 2

This is shown in blue on the navigation screen. It indicates the vehicle trajectory according to the position of the steering wheel.

The screen shows a reverse image.

The frames are a representation projected onto flat ground; this information must not be taken into account when superimposed on a vertical object or an object on the ground.

Objects which appear on the edge of the screen may be deformed.

In very bright light (snow, vehicle in sunshine etc.), the camera vision may be adversely affected.

When the tailgate is open or not closed properly, the message “Boot open” is displayed on the instrument panel (risk of incorrect information on-screen)

Operation

With the selector lever 1 in position P or

N , turn the ignition.

To move out of position P , you must depress the brake pedal before pressing unlocking button 2 .

With the foot on the brake pedal (warning light c on the display 3 goes out), move the lever out of position P .

Only engage D or R when the vehicle is stopped, with your foot on the brake and the accelerator pedal released.

2.39

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (continued)

Driving in automatic mode

Select position D . In the majority of traffic conditions, you will not have to touch the gear selector lever again: the gear will be changed automatically at the right time and at the most suitable engine speed because the automatic system takes into account the vehicle load and road contour and adjusts itself to the particular driving style you have chosen.

Economical driving

When driving, always leave the lever in position D , keeping the accelerator pedal lightly depressed to ensure automatic gear changes at a lower engine speed.

Accelerating and overtaking

Depress the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (so that it goes beyond the kickdown point).

This will enable you to change down to the optimum gear within the engine range.

1

Driving in manual mode

With the lever in position D , shift the lever to the left-hand side.

Shifting lever 1 repeatedly allows you to change gears manually:

– To move down through the gears, push the lever backwards,

– To move up through the gears, push the lever forwards.

The gear ratio engaged appears on the instrument panel.

Special cases

In certain driving conditions (e.g.: engine protection, operation of the electronic stability program: ESP), the automated system may change the gear automatically.

Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeuvres, a gear change may be refused by the automatic system: in this case the gear display flashes for a few seconds as a warning.

Using an emergency spare wheel may disrupt the operation of the automatic gearbox.

2.40

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (continued)

Special circumstances

– 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 descents.

– In cold weather, start the engine and wait a few seconds before moving the selector lever from position P or N and engaging it in D or R to prevent the engine stalling.

– Vehicles not fitted with traction control: on a slippery surface or surface with a low level of adhesion, change to manual mode and select second gear (or even third) before starting the engine to avoid wheelspin when starting.

Parking the vehicle

When the vehicle is stopped, move the lever to position P while keeping your foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is in neutral and the drive wheels are mechanically locked by the driveshaft.

Check that the parking brake is properly applied (refer to the information on the “Parking brake” in Section 2).

2.41

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (continued)

Operating faults

– When driving , if the message

“Check auto gearbox” appears on the instrument panel, this indicates there is a fault.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible.

– When driving , if the message “Auto gearbox overheating” appears on the instrument panel, stop the vehicle to allow the gearbox to cool down.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible.

– If a vehicle with an automatic gearbox breaks down, refer to the information on “Towing” in Section 5.

Press button 14 to decrease the temperature.

The comfort level can be adjusted from

16 to 26°C.

The maximum and minimum settings of 16°C and 26°C, both on the left and right-hand sides, allow the system to produce a minimum or maximum temperature, whatever the ambient conditions.

If the maximum temperature settings are identical on both the passenger and driver sides, changing the temperature setting on one of the controls can lead to a forced air temperature variation on the side where the control is still set at the maximum temperature.

When the external temperature is lower than 2°C, it is normal for the system not to work.

There are two ways of using it:

– by using just buttons 3 and 4 on the driver’s side, you can adjust the comfort level for the entire passenger compartment; the temperatures shown on displays 7 and 12 are always the same;

– by using buttons 13 and 14 , you can adjust the comfort level independently for the left and the right-hand sides. Buttons 3 and 4 adjust the comfort level on the driver’s side, buttons 13 and 14 adjust the comfort level on the passenger side.

The are two options for enabling the driver to adjust the comfort level in the entire passenger compartment again:

– automatically, after the ignition has been switched off for at least 20 minutes;

– manually, by pressing and holding the AUTO button 1 until operating tell-tale A starts flashing, even if it was already lit.

The displayed temperature values show a comfort level.

When starting the engine, increasing or decreasing the value displayed will not allow the comfort level to be reached any more quickly. The system will always optimise the temperature increase or decrease (the ventilation system does not start instantly at maximum speed: it gradually increases). This may take several minutes.

Generally speaking, unless there is a particular reason not to, the dashboard air vents should remain open.

Exit automatic mode by pressing button 6 (indicator light A goes out).

However, in this case, only the air distribution will no longer be controlled automatically by the system.

There are four choices for air distribution that are determined by pressing button 6 repeatedly.

J

Air exits through the front vents.

O

Air exits through the front and rear vents.

P

The air exits from all the vents and the vents next to the occupants feet.

Q

The air is directed towards the occupants feet and towards the windscreen.

Distribution of air in the passenger compartment

In automatic mode, the system manages the distribution of air in the passenger compartment (indicator light A lit), but you may alter the selections made by the system.

This is the recommended mode of use: the automatic climate control system guarantees comfort

(except in the event of extreme conditions) in the passenger compartment and good visibility while optimising consumption.

Return to automatic mode as soon as possible.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)

Air recirculation (isolation of the passenger compartment)

The heating and air conditioning system uses air from the outside to heat or cool the passenger compartment.

However, when the “recirculation” function is in use, it is possible to isolate the passenger compartment from the atmosphere outside, e.g. when driving in polluted areas.

Note: pressing the AUTO 1 button switches on the “automatic recirculation” function (indicator light C lit).

D

Repeatedly pressing button 2 enables you to select:

– automatic recirculation;

– enforced recirculation;

– exterior air.

With automatic recirculation

Warning light C comes on. The system analyses the outside air and, when necessary, seals the passenger compartment automatically.

With enforced recirculation

Indicator light D comes on. Air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recirculated without taking in air from the outside.

Note: prolonged use of recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen and discomfort due to the use of nonrenewed air in the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to switch back to automatic recirculation

(indicator light C lit) or outside air as soon as enforced recirculation is no longer necessary.

With air from the outside

Indicator lights C and D are off.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use

Fuel consumption

You will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving in town) when the air conditioning is operating.

For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.

Advice for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:

Drive with the air vents open and the windows closed.

If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.

Maintenance

Refer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle for the inspection frequency.

Operating faults

As a general rule, contact your approved dealer in the event of an operating fault.

– Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance.

This may be caused by the passenger compartment filter cartridge becoming clogged.

– No cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.

Notes

Presence of water under the vehicle.

After prolonged use of the air conditioning system, it is normal for water to be present under the vehicle. This is caused by condensation.

3.18

Vehicles fitted with an auxiliary heater

Some vehicles are fitted with an auxiliary heater which heats the passenger compartment more quickly.

This device operates only when the engine is running and in cold weather.

When the device is functioning you can normally see a small amount of smoke on the right-hand side of the vehicle coming from the heater’s exhaust system.

Do not add anything to the vehicle’s ventilation circuit

(for example, to remove bad odours).

There is a risk of damage or of fire.

Do not open the refrigerant fluid circuit.

The fluid may damage eyes or skin.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information

It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is normal to top up the level between oil changes. However, contact your approved Dealer if more than

0.5 litres is being consumed every

600 miles (1,000 km) after the running in period.

Oil change frequency: check the oil level from time to time and always before any long journey to avoid the risk of damaging your engine.

Reading the oil level

The vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine should have been stopped for a long time beforehand to obtain an accurate reading.

Always use the dipstick to check the exact oil level and ensure that the maximum level is not exceeded (risk of engine damage): refer to the information on “Engine oil level/Topping-up/

Filling” on the following pages.

The instrument panel display only alerts the driver when the oil level is at its minimum.

Message 1

Maximum engine oil level exceeded.

The oil level should only be read with the dipstick as explained above.

If the oil level exceeds the maximum level, do not start your vehicle and contact an approved Dealer.

To prevent splashback, you are recommended to use a funnel to top up the oil.

Reading the level using the dipstick

– remove the dipstick (refer to the following pages for its location) and wipe it with a clean lint-free cloth;

– push the dipstick in as far as it will go

(for vehicles equipped with “cap-type dipstick” C , screw the cap in completely);

– take out the dipstick again;

– read the level: it should never fall below minimum mark A or exceed maximum mark B .

Once the level has been checked, ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go or that the cap-type dipstick is completely screwed in.

Consult your approved Dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.

Under no circumstances should maximum filling level B be exceeded: this could damage the engine and the catalytic converter.

When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.

Risk of injury.

The engine may be hot when carrying out operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)

A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the exterior of the vehicle regularly.

Your vehicle has been treated with very effective anti-corrosion products. It is nevertheless subject to various outside influences.

Corrosive agents in the atmosphere

– industrial areas), saline atmospheres (near the sea, particularly in hot weather), seasonal and damp weather conditions (e.g. road salt in winter, water from road cleaners, etc.).

Minor impacts

Abrasive action

Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles, etc.

You should take a number of minor precautions in order to safeguard your vehicle against such risks.

What you should not do

Do not degrease or clean mechanical components (e.g. the engine compartment), underneath the body, parts with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and painted plastic external fittings (e.g. bumpers) using high-pressure cleaning equipment or by spraying on products not approved by our Technical

Department. Doing this could give rise to corrosion or operational faults.

Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures.

Do not scrape off mud or dirt without pre-wetting.

Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.

Allow rust to form following minor impacts.

Do not use solvents not approved by our Technical Department to remove stains as this could damage the paintwork.

Do not drive in snow or muddy conditions without washing the vehicle, particularly under the wheel arches and body.

You should

Wash your car frequently, with the engine off , with cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer (never use abrasive products). Rinse thoroughly beforehand with a jet:

– grime; mud in the wheel arches and underneath the body which forms damp patches;

– bird droppings , which cause a chemical reaction with the paint that rapidly discolours paintwork and may even cause the paint to peel off;

wash the vehicle immediately to remove these marks since it is impossible to remove them by polishing;

– and underneath the body after driving in areas where the roads have been gritted.

Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves, etc.) from the vehicle regularly.

4.13

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)

Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your vehicle on a public highway).

Observe the vehicle stopping distances when driving on gravelled surfaces to prevent paint damage.

Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas where the paint has been damaged, to prevent corrosion spreading.

Remember to visit the body shop periodically in order to maintain your anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the

Maintenance Document.

If it is necessary to clean mechanical components, hinges, etc., spray them with products approved by our

Technical Department to protect them after they have been cleaned.

Vehicles with a matte paint finish

This type of paint requires certain precautions.

Do not do the following use wax-based products (polishing);

–

– wash; wash the vehicle using a high-pressure device; attach stickers to the paintwork (risk of leaving marks).

You should do the following

Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle sponge.

Using a roller type car wash

Return the windscreen wiper stalk to the Park position (refer to the information on the “Windscreen washer, wiper” in Section 1). Check the mounting of external accessories, additional lights and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper blades are secured with adhesive tape.

Remove the radio aerial mast if your vehicle is fitted with this equipment.

Remember to remove the tape and refit the antenna after washing.

Cleaning the headlights

As the headlights are made of plastic

“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool to clean them. If this does not clean them properly, moisten the cloth with soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool.

Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.

Cleaning products containing alcohol must not be used.

We have selected special products to care for your vehicle and you can obtain these from the manufacturer’s accessory outlets.

4.14

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)

A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the interior of the vehicle regularly.

A stain should always be dealt with swiftly.

Whatever type of stain is on the trim, use cold (or warm) soapy water with natural soap .

Detergents (washing-up liquid, powdered products, alcohol-based products) should not be used.

Use a soft cloth.

Rinse and soak up the excess.

Glass instrument panel

(e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior temperature display, radio display, etc.)

Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).

If this does not clean it properly, use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly moistened with soapy water and then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool.

Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.

Cleaning products containing alcohol must not be used under any circumstances.

Seat belts

These must be kept clean.

Use products selected by our Technical

Department (Approved outlets) or warm, soapy water and a sponge and wipe with a dry cloth.

Detergents or dyes must not be used under any circumstances.

Textiles (seats, door trim, etc)

Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly .

Liquid stain

Use soapy water.

Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth, rinse and remove the excess.

Solid or pasty stain

Carefully remove the excess solid or pasty material immediately with a spatula (working from the edges to the centre to avoid spreading the stain).

Clean as for a liquid stain.

Special instructions for sweets or chewing gum

Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify it, then proceed as for a solid stain.

For further recommendations for maintaining the interior, and/or for any unsatisfactory results, please see an authorised dealer.

4.15

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)

Removal/replacing removable equipment originally fitted in the vehicle

If you need to remove equipment in order to clean the passenger compartment (for example, mats), always ensure that they are correctly refitted and are the right way around (the driver’s mat should be fitted on the driver’s side, etc.) and fit them with the components supplied with the equipment (for example, the driver mat should always be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting components).

With the vehicle stationary, ensure that nothing will impede driving (anything obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by the mat, etc.).

You should not:

You are strongly advised not to position objects such as deodorants, scents, etc. near air vents, as this could damage your dashboard trim.

You are strongly recommended not to use highpressure or spray cleaning equipment inside the passenger compartment: use of such equipment could impair the correct functioning of the electrical or electronic components in the vehicle, or have other detrimental effects.

– run the cable across and reposition lock 4 ;

– lie the wheel down, with valve 5 facing the ground;

– in the luggage compartment, use the tool to completely to rewind the retaining cable.

Using the emergency spare wheel

The “tyre pressure monitor” function does not monitor the emergency spare wheel (the wheel replaced by the emergency spare wheel disappears from the instrument panel and/or the information display). Refer to the information on the

“Tyre pressure monitor” in Section 2.

Special note

Using an emergency spare wheel may disrupt certain functions (automatic gearbox, etc.).

If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.

Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel which is different to the four other wheels:

– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.

– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identical to the original one.

– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wheel.

– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cornering.

– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.

5.3

TYRE INFLATION KIT (1/5)

A

B

The kit repairs tyres with tread A damaged by objects smaller than 4 mm. It cannot repair all types of puncture, such as cuts more than

4 mm, or cuts in the tyre sidewall B etc.

Ensure also that the wheel rim is in good condition.

Do not pull out the foreign body causing the puncture if it is still in the tyre.

Do not attempt to use the inflation kit if the tyre has been damaged as a result of driving with a puncture.

You should therefore carefully check the condition of the tyre sidewalls before any operation.

Driving with underinflated, flat or punctured tyres can be dangerous and may make the tyre impossible to repair.

This repair is temporary

A tyre which has been punctured should always be inspected (and repaired, where possible) as soon as possible by a specialist.

Contact an approved dealer to replace the inflation tube and repair product bottle.

When taking a tyre which has been repaired using this kit to be replaced, you must inform the specialist.

When driving, vibration may be felt due to the presence of the repair product injected into the tyre.

The kit is only approved for inflating the tyres of the vehicle originally equipped with the kit.

It must never be used to inflate the tyres of another vehicle, or any other inflatable object (rubber ring, rubber boat, etc.).

Avoid spillage on skin when handling the repair liquid bottle. If droplets do leak out, rinse them off with plenty of water.

Keep the repair kit away from children.

Do not dispose of the empty bottle in the countryside. Return it to an approved dealer or to a recycling organisation.

The bottle has a limited service life which is indicated on its label.

Check the expiry date regularly.

Once the tyre is inflated correctly:

– stop using the kit;

– slowly unscrew the two inflation adapters 8 and 10 and screw endpiece 10 onto the bottle to prevent the product from spraying;

Nothing should be placed around the driver’s feet as such objects may slide under the pedals during sudden braking manoeuvres and obstruct their use.

– affix the driving recommendation label, located under bottle 1 , to the dashboard where it can easily be seen by the driver;

– store the kit;

– after the first inflation procedure the tyre will still be leaking; it is vital to drive in order to plug the hole;

– Start immediately and drive at between 12 and 36 mph (20 and

60 km/h) to distribute the product evenly throughout the tyre, stopping after a distance of 2 miles (3 kilometres) to check the pressure;

– If the pressure is above 1.3 bar but lower than the recommended pressure, readjust it (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door), otherwise contact an approved dealer: repair is not possible.

Note: after using the inflation kit, you should visit an approved dealer to replace the inflation hose and the bottle of repair product.

Precautions when using the kit

The kit should not be operated for more than 15 consecutive minutes.

Following repair with the kit, do not travel further than

120 miles (200 km). In addition, reduce your speed and under no circumstances exceed 48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker, which you must affix in a prominent position on the dashboard, reminds you of this.

Depending on the country or local legislation, a tyre repaired with the inflation kit may need to be replaced.

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss.

Vehicles equipped with a jack and wheelbrace

Put together wheelbrace 1 using the tools stored in the tool kit: refer to the information on the “Tool kit” on the previous pages.

Use wheelbrace 1 to loosen the wheel bolts. Fit it so that you press downwards rather than pulling upwards.

Position the jack horizontally, with the jack head positioned at the same height as support 2 provided in the lower section of the bodywork, closest to the wheel concerned.

Start cranking up jack 3 by hand to align the base plate (which should be pushed slightly under the vehicle).

Place a plank of wood under the base plate if on soft ground.

Turn the wheelbrace to lift the wheel off the ground.

If the vehicle is not equipped with a jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain these from your approved dealer.

To prevent any risk of injury or damage to the vehicle, only crank the jack until the wheel you are replacing is a maximum of 3 centimetres off the ground.

5.11

CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)

Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.

Fit the emergency spare wheel on the central hub and turn it to locate the mounting holes in the wheel and the hub.

Tighten the bolts and lower the jack.

With the wheels on the ground, tighten the bolts as fully as possible and check the tightness as soon as possible (tightening torque 130 Nm).

Anti-theft bolt

If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these nearest the valve (wheel embellisher may not be able to fit).

If you have a puncture, replace the wheel as soon as possible.

A tyre which has been punctured should always be inspected

(and repaired, where possible) by a specialist.

5.12

If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle’s presence with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.

TYRES (1/3)

Tyre and wheel safety

The tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the road, so it is essential to keep them in good condition.

You must make sure that your tyres conform to local road traffic regulations.

1

2

When the tyre tread has been worn to the level of the warning strips, they become visible 2 : it is then necessary to replace your tyres because the tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at most, resulting in poor road holding on wet roads.

An overloaded vehicle, long journeys by motorway, particularly in very hot weather, or continual driving on poorly surfaced minor roads will lead to more rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the same make, size, type and profile should be used.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your approved dealer.

Maintaining the tyres

The tyres must be in good condition and the tread form must have sufficient depth; tyres approved by our Technical

Department have tread wear indicators 1 which are indicators moulded into the tread at several points .

Incidents which occur when driving, such as striking the kerb, may damage the tyres and wheel rims, and could also lead to misalignment of the front or rear axle geometry. In this case, have the condition of these checked by an approved dealer.

5.13

TYRES (2/3)

Tyre pressures

Tyre pressures must be adhered to (including the emergency spare wheel).

Pressures must be checked at least once a month and always before a long journey (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

Pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures which may be reached in hot weather or following a fast journey.

If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold , the normal pressures must be increased by 0.2 to

0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Note: depending on the vehicle, the tyre pressures are indicated on a label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

Incorrect tyre pressures lead to abnormal tyre wear and unusually hot running.

These are factors which may seriously affect safety and lead to:

– poor road holding;

– the risk of blow-outs or of throwing a tread.

Tyre pressures depend on the load and the driving speed. Adjust the pressures according to the conditions of use (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

Each of the sensors incorporated in the valves is dedicated to a single wheel: under no circumstances should you swap the wheels.

There is a risk of incorrect information which could have serious consequences.

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss.

Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them fully.

5.14

TYRES (3/3)

Fitting new tyres

For safety reasons, this operation must be carried out by a specialist.

Fitting different tyres may change your vehicle as follows:

– may mean that your vehicle no longer conforms to current regulations;

– it may change the way it handles when cornering;

– it may cause the steering to be heavy;

– It may affect the use of snow chains.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on the

“Emergency spare wheel” and

“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.

Use in winter

– Chains

For safety reasons, fitting snow chains to the rear axle is strictly forbidden.

Chains must not be fitted to tyres which are larger than those originally fitted to the vehicle.

Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle.

Only certain chains can be fitted to tyres. Consult an approved dealer.

Special note on versions fitted with 18” wheels: snow chains may not be fitted.

If you wish to fit snow chains, you must use special equipment .

Consult your approved dealer.

– Snow or winter tyres

We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum adhesion.

NB: We would point out that these tyres may sometimes have:

– a direction of travel; a maximum speed index which may be lower than the maximum speed of your vehicle.

– Studded tyres

This type of equipment may only be used for a limited period and as laid down by local legislation.

It is necessary to observe the speed specified by current legislation.

These tyres must, as a minimum, be fitted to the two wheels on the front axle.

In all cases, we would recommend that you contact an approved dealer who will be able to advise you on the choice of equipment which is most suitable for your vehicle.

BATTERY: troubleshooting

To avoid all risk of sparks:

– Ensure that any electrical consumers

(courtesy lights, etc.) are switched off before disconnecting or reconnecting the battery.

– When charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting the battery.

– Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short circuit between the terminals.

– Always wait at least one minute after the engine has been switched off before disconnecting a battery.

– Make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting.

Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must not come into contact with eyes or skin. If it does, wash the affected area with plenty of cold water. If necessary, consult a doctor.

Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.

The engine may be hot when carrying out operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.

Risk of injury.

5.31

BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger must be compatible with a battery with a nominal voltage of 12 volts.

It is essential to disconnect both battery leads from the terminals (engine stopped) starting with the negative terminal.

Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using.

Only a fully charged and well-maintained battery will have a long and useful life and enable you to start the vehicle’s engine normally.

The battery must be kept clean and dry.

Have the battery’s charge status checked regularly:

– Especially if you use your vehicle for short journeys or for frequent driving in town.

– When the exterior temperature drops

(in winter), the charge decreases.

In winter, only use electrical equipment which is really necessary.

– Finally, you should understand that the charge decreases naturally as a result of certain permanent electrical consumers such as the clock, aftersales accessories, etc.

When a large number of accessories are fitted to the vehicle, have them connected to the + after ignition feed . In this case, it is advisable to have your vehicle fitted with a battery which has an increased nominal capacity. Contact an approved dealer.

If your vehicle is to be left stationary for a relatively long time, disconnect the battery or have it recharged regularly, particularly during cold weather.

The equipment with a memory, radio etc. will then have to be reprogrammed.

The battery must be stored in a cool dry place, protected from frost.

Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact your approved dealer.

Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion, and charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. Risk of serious injury.

5.32

BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)

Starting the vehicle using the battery from another vehicle

If you have to use the battery from another vehicle to start, obtain suitable jump leads (with a large cross section) from an approved dealer or, if you already have jump leads, ensure that they are in perfect condition.

The two batteries must have an identical nominal voltage of 12 volts.

The battery supplying the current should have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which is at least the same as that of the discharged battery.

Ensure that there is no risk of contact between the two vehicles (risk of short circuiting when the positive terminals are connected) and that the discharged battery is properly connected. Switch off your vehicle ignition.

Start the engine of the vehicle supplying the current and run it at an intermediate engine speed.

TOWING: breakdown (continued)

Towing a vehicle with an automatic transmission: special features

With the engine switched off: the gearbox is no longer lubricated. It is preferable to tow this type of vehicle on a trailer or tow it with the front wheels off the ground.

Under exceptional circumstances , you may tow the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, only going forward, with the gear lever in the N position, and for a distance not exceeding

30 miles (50 km).

– Use a rigid towing bar.

If a rope or cable is used

(where the law allows this), the vehicle being towed must be able to brake.

– A vehicle must not be towed if it is not fit to be driven.

– Avoid accelerating or braking suddenly when towing, as this may result in damage being caused to the vehicle.

– When towing a vehicle, it is advisable not to exceed 15 mph

(25 km/h) .

When the engine is stopped, steering and braking assistance are not operational.

80 kg (including the carrying device)

* Towing weight (Towing a caravan, boat, etc.)

Towing is prohibited when the MTR - MMAC calculation is equal to zero, or when the MTR is equal to zero (or is not listed) on the identification plate.

– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.

– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is permitted:

– rear axle MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%,

– maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reached first).

In either case, the maximum speed of the towing assembly must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).

– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.

Weight transfer (except utility version)

Depending on the local legislation, if the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 500 kg can be transferred to the braked trailer, within the limits of the vehicle’s Gross Train Weight.
