AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING WHEN DRIVING

You can decide to activate this

function if you wish.

To activate it

With the ignition on, press the

central door locking button on the1

locking side (padlock side) for about

5 seconds, until you hear the beep.

To deactivate it

With the ignition on, press the

central door locking button on the1

unlocking side (opposite the

padlock) for approximately 5

seconds, until you hear the beep.

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 your car in the

event of an emergency.

Operating principle

When the vehicle moves off, the

system automatically locks the

doors as soon as a speed of 6 mph (8

km/h) is reached.

The indicator lamp on the

instrument panel and that

on button 1light up; you will hear

the sound of the doors locking at the

same time.

The door is unlocked

- if a door is opened,

- by pressing the door unlocking

button 1.

Faults

If you note a fault (no automatic

locking, indicator light

incorporated in the button 1does

not light up when the doors are

locked...), first check that that all

the doors are properly closed. If

they are closed correctly, consult

your Renault Dealer.

Also make sure that locking has not

been inadvertently deactivated. If

this is the case, switch the ignition

off and on again and reactivate it as

described above.

Note:

When the ignition is off the function

remains active, only intentional

deactivation will ensure that the

system is inhibited.

1.05

OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOORS

Opening the doors from the

outside

Unlock using the remote control or

the key (the key must be pushed

into the lock 1as far as it can go).

Place your hand behind handle 2

and pull it towards you.

Note: when you pull handle 2the

window in the door lowers slightly

so that you can open the door

without effort and then

automatically rises again when the

door is closed.

Opening the doors from inside

Move handle 3.

Lights on warning buzzer

A warning buzzer will sound when

one of the front doors is opened if

you have left the lights switched on

after switching off the ignition (this

will prevent a drain on the battery).

1.06

ENGINE IMMOBILISER

This prevents the car being driven

by anyone not in possession of the

car's coded ignition key.

Operating principle

The car is automatically protected

a few seconds after the key is

removed from the ignition.

When the ignition is switched on,

indicator light 1comes on for a few

seconds and then goes out.

The vehicle has recognised the code

and the engine can be started.

If the vehicle does not recognise the

code of the ignition key, warning

light 1flashes continuously and the

engine cannot be started.

Indicator light to indicate the

engine immobiliser is operating

Indicator light 1lights up for three

seconds when the ignition is turned

on and then goes out.

You can then start the engine.

Vehicle protection indicator

light

A few seconds after the ignition has

been switched off, indicator light 1

will flash continuously.

The vehicle will not be protected

until the key has been taken out of

the ignition.

Operating fault warning light

If warning light continues to flash1

or remains lit after the ignition is

switched on, it indicates that the

system is not operating correctly.

If the fault in fuel injection message

alternates with the service message

while driving, decelerating or at

idle speed

there is an operating fault in the

system.

-If the coded key is faulty, use the

second key (supplied with the

vehicle). If you do not have access

to this, it is to call aessential

Renault Dealer because only

dealers in the Renault network are

qualified to repair the engine

immobiliser.

Any work or modification

to the engine immobiliser

system (computers, wiring,

etc.) may be dangerous. It

must be carried out by trained

Renault Network personnel.

1.07

section.

1.10

FRONT SEATS (continued)

Access to the rear seats

Pull lever 1towards you and tip the

seat forwards.

The seat has a memory which

allows it to relock the seat in its

initial position when it is pushed

back as far as its stored stop.

Ensure that the runners

and seatback are locked

in place correctly.

From the rear, pull the lever 3to tip

the seat forwards.

Heated seats

(Initiale version)

With the ignition on, press switch 2;

the corresponding indicator light on

the instrument panel will light up.

Even if the indicator light

is lit up, the system is not

necessarily activated.

The system has a

thermostat and only operates

when the passenger compartment

temperature is less than 12°C

(with a tolerance of + or –4°C).

1.11

FRONT SEAT BELTS

Always wear your seat belt when

travelling in your car. Comply with

the local legislation in the particular

country you are in.

Before driving off:

- First ensure that your driving

position is correct.

- Then adjust your seat belt as

described below to provide

maximum protection.

Incorrectly adjusted seat

belts may cause injuries

in the event of an

accident.

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.

Adjusting your driving position

• Sit with your back firmly against

the seatback.

This is essential to ensure that

your spinal cord is in the correct

position.

•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 head

restraint.

For maximum safety your head

should be as near as possible to

the head restraint.

•Adjust the height of the seat.

This adjustment allows you to

select the seat position which

offers you the best possible

vision.

•Adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

Adjusting the seat belts.

Sit with your back firmly against the

seatback.

The shoulder strap 1fits itself

automatically across the chest.

The lap strap 2should be held

firmly over the thighs and against

the pelvis.

The belt should be worn so that it is

as close to the body as possible, i.e.

avoid wearing heavy clothing or

having bulky objects under the

belts.

1.12

FRONT SEATBELTS (continued)

Locking:

- Unroll the belt 1slowly and

smoothly and make sure that the

buckle 3clicks into the housing 4

(check that the belt is locked by

pulling on the buckle 3).

If the belt jams, allow it to return

before attempting to unwind it

again.

Locking (continued)

If your belt becomes completely

jammed:

- pull slowly but firmly until

around 3 cm of belt has been

released; then let the belt rewind

itself;

- unwind it again.

- if the problem persists, consult

your Renault Dealer.

Unlocking:

- Press the button 5, the belt is

rewound onto the inertia reel.

- Guide the buckle to help the

operation.

1.13

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

These are:

OSeat belt pretensioners.

OForce limiter.

ODriver and front passenger air

bags.

These systems are provided to act

independently or together when the

car is subjected to a frontal impact.

Depending on the force of the

impact the system may engage:

- the seat belt;

- the buckle pretensioner (which

engages to correct seat belt play);

- pretensioners 1and 2, the front air

bag and the force limiter. •Pretensioners

With the ignition switched on, if

there is a severe frontal impact and

depending on the force of the

impact, the system may engage:

- buckle 1w hich instantly tightens

the seat belt;

- piston 2on the seat which pulls

the belt back against the chest.

The pretensioners hold the seat

belt tight against the body and

thus increase its efficiency.

• Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

• No operations whatsoever a re

permitted on any part of the

system (electronic units,

wiring...) nor is reuse on any

other vehicle, even if identical.

• Only qualified Renault Network

personnel may work on the

pretensioner system; otherwise

the system may trigger

accidentally and cause injury.

• Testing of the electric trigger

system may only be carried out

by a specially trained technician

using special equipment.

• When the vehicle is to be

scrapped, contact your Renault

Dealer for disposal of the

pretensioner and air bag gas

generators.

1.14

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

• Force limiter

In the event of a frontal impact

above a certain severity, this

mechanism is used to limit the force

of the belt against the body so that it

is at an acceptable level.

Warning relating to the

service life of air bags

and pretensioners

The pyrotechnic systems in air

bags and pretensioners have a

limited service life. These

systems must be replaced each

time they a re activated and at the

latest after they have been in

service for 10 years. This work

must always be undertaken by a

Renault Dealer.

The seat belt pretensioners and

the air bag operate together. If

one of the systems has passed the

date when it is due for renewal, it

will alter the overall safety

protection provided.

Air bags for

driver and front passenger

An air bag may be provided for both

the driver and the front passenger.

Air bag inscriptions on the steering

wheel, dashboard and front

seatbacks, and two labels on the

lower part of the windscreen and on

the door box section indicate that

the vehicle is equipped with an air

bag.

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 computer for both systems,

which includes the impact

detector and a monitor c ontrolling

the electrical trigger system for the

gas generator;

- A single warning light on the

instrument panel.

1.15

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

Operation

This system is only operational

when the ignition is switched on.

If a severe impact occurs, thefrontal

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.

Faults

If there is a system fault, the

multifunction warning light will be

displayed with the airbag message

alternating with the Service

message.

Consult your Renault Dealer as soon

as possible. Your protection will be

reduced until this problem is

rectified.

The air bag system uses a

pyrotechnic principle. 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 an explosive noise. In a

situation where an air bag is

required, it must inflate

immediately and this may cause

some minor, superficial grazing to

the skin.

1.16

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

All the warnings below are given so that, if the air bag is activated, it is not obstructed in any way 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 operation of the seat belt. The air bag and seat belt are inseparable

components of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts

are not worn, it exposes the occupants 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 bag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if the

vehicle turns over.

•No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on any part of the driver and passenger air bag system

(computer, wiring, etc.) except by qualified Renault network personnel.

• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause

injury, only qualified Renault 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, is stolen or

broken into.

• When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.

• When scrapping your vehicle, contact your Renault Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

1.17

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

All the warnings below are given so

that, if the air bag(s) is(are)

activated, it is (they are) not

obstructed in any way and also to

prevent the risk of injuries caused

by items which may be dislodged

when the air bag inflate(s).

Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag

•Do not modify either the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.

• Do not cover the steering wheel boss.

• Do not attach any objects (pin, logo, clock, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.

• The steering wheel boss must not be removed (except by authorised

Renault Network personnel).

• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightly

bent (see the information on adjusting your driving position in section 1), it

will ensure that there is sufficient space for the air bag to inflate properly

and to be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger air bag: location 1

•Do not attach or affix with adhesive any objects (pin, logo, clock, etc.) on

the dashboard near where the air bag is located.

• 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 be sustained. As a general rule, keep all

parts of the body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard.

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO FIT A REAR FACING CHILD SEAT

ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

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

Side air bags A

This air bag may be fitted to the

front seats and is activated at the

sides of the seats (door side) to

protect the occupants in the event of

a severe side impact.

The air bag operates

through the slits in the

seatbacks (door side):

never put any objects in

the slits.

Curtain air bags B

These are air bags fitted along the

sides of the vehicle in the ceiling

and deploy along the front and rear

side windows to protect the

passengers in case of a violent side

impact.

The markings 1on the windscreen

will remind you of the presence of

this equipment.

Warnings concerning the

side air bag

• Fitting seat covers: Seats

equipped with an air bag

require special covers

specifically designed for your

vehicle. Consult your Renault

Dealer to find out if these covers

may be purchased from Renault

outlets. The use of any covers

other than those designed for

your vehicle (and including

those designed for another

vehicle) may affect the operation

of these air bags and reduce your

protection.

• Do not place any accessories,

objects or even animals between

the seat back and the door. This

may prevent the air bag from

operating correctly or cause

injury if the air bag is deployed.

• No work or m odification

whatsoever may be performed on

the seat except by qualified

Renault network personnel.

1.19

REAR SEAT BELTS

Rear side seat belts

The belts are locked, unlocked and

adjusted in the same way as the

front belts.

Make sure that the rear

seat is locked in position

properly so that the seat

belts will operate

efficiently.

Refer to the information on the

rear seat in section 3.

Rear centre belt

Fastening

Unwind the belt slowly from its

housing 1until the black buckle

locks into the catch 4.

The positioning of the seat belt must

then be checked as described below.

The right-hand head restraint must

be fitted and must be in the highest

position.

The strap must pass through the

side of the head rest.

Clip the black buckle into the black

unlocking catch 4and then fit the

last sliding buckle into the catch2 5.

Note: Label 3will remind you of

these instructions.

Releasing

First press the red button on catch 5

and then press the red button on

catch 4if necessary.

Force limiter

The rear seat belts are fitted with

force limiters.

Above a certain severity of impact,

this mechanism is used to limit the

force of the belt against the body so

that it is at an acceptable level.

1.20

REAR SEAT BELTS (continued)

If you have to fold down the part of

the rear seat behind the front

left-hand seat:

- lift the seat base 2against the front

seat.

- remove the head rest;

- lower the seatback 3while

holding catch 1so that it remains

visible when the seatback is

folded down.

Before replacing the rear

bench seat, check that the

seat belts are correctly

positioned in the belt

guides 4to avoid any damage to or

locking of the seat belts.

1.22

CHILD SAFETY

In all countries there are regulations

governing the use of restraint

systems for children and babies.

In Europe children under 12 years

of age or smaller than 1.50 m(1) must

be seated in an approved safety

device which is suitable for the

weight and size of the child.

The driver is responsible for

ensuring that this equipment is

used correctly.

Remember that a collision at 30

mph (50 km/h) is the same as

falling from a height of

10 metres. Expressed in other

terms, transporting a child

without a restraint is the

equivalent of allowing him or

her to play on a third-floor

balcony which does not have any

railings.

(1) Always comply with the laws of the

country in which you are travelling.

They may be different to the

guidelines in this handbook.

Under no circumstances

should babies or children

be allowed to travel sitting

on the lap of another

passenger in the car.

If a head-on collision occurs at 30

mph (50 km/h) a child weighing

30 kg (66 lbs) will be transformed

into a missile equivalent to one

tonne: you will find it impossible

to hold the child, even if you

yourself are wearing a belt.

It is particularly dangerous to put

the belt round your child when he

or she is sitting on your lap. Never

use the belt for more than one

person at the same time.

Child restraints for which approval

was obtained after January 1992

offer a much higher level of safety

than those approved before that

date.

It is therefore advisable to select a

child restraint that complies with

European regulation ECE 44R03.

Restraints that comply with this

legislation must be marked with an

orange label bearing the letter E

followed by a number (which

stands for the country where it is

type approved) and the year in

which the type approval was

granted.

According to the standard, child

restraints fall into 4 categories:

- under 10 kg or 22 lb

(0 - 9 months)

- under 13 kg or 28 lb

(0 - 24 months)

- from 9 to 18 kg or 20 to 40 lb

(9 - 48 months)

- from 15 to 36 kg or 33 to 80 lb

(4 - 12 years)

1.24

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

The right choice

The safety of your children is also

your responsibility.

To ensure that your child has the

maximum possible protection, we

recommend that you use seats

obtained from a Renault Dealer.

If your vehicle is fitted with an

Isofix system you should use an

Isofix seat (see the Isofix child seat

attachment system information in

section 1).

Restraint systems for all the

categories are available. These

systems have been developed in

consultation with the

manufacturers and have been tested

in Renault vehicles.

Consult your Renault Dealer and

ask him to help you install it.

Category:

- under 10 kg or 22 lb

(0 - 9 months)

A child's neck is very susceptible to

injury up to the age of two. In a

front-facing seat there is a risk that

the child will sustain neck injuries

in the event of a frontal collision.

Renault therefore recommends a

rear-facing seat with a harness that

gives all-round protection (figure 1).

2 3

1.25

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

Category:

- under 13 kg or 28 lb

(9 - 24 m on ths)

Between the ages of 2 and 4, a

child's pelvis is not fully developed.

Restraints using the car's

three-point belts are not adequate

and there is a risk that the child will

sustain abdominal injuries in the

event o f a frontal collision. It is

therefore advisable to use

rear-facing seats (figure 1),

bucket-type seats (figure 2) or seats

with harnesses.

Place the head restraint at the top

position to allow you to press the

seat back of the child seat firmly

against the vehicle seat back.

Category:

- from 9 to 18 kg or 20 to 40 lb

(9 - 48 months)

The type of restraint most suitable

for the pelvis of a child aged

between 4 and 7 is one that can be

combined with a three-point seat

belt. This is a booster seat (figure 3)

with belt guides to ensure that the

belt will be worn flat over the thighs

of the child.

1.26

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

Category:

- from 15 to 36 kg or 33 to 80 lb

(4 - 12 years)

For children aged over seven, a

booster seat with belt guides is

recommended to ensure that the

car's three-point seat belt will be

worn flat over the child's thighs.

A booster seat with a

height-adjustable seatback and a

belt guide are recommended as this

will allow the belt to be worn as

close to the base of the neck as

possible but not on it. It is also

possible to use a bucket seat

(figure 4).

Place the head restraint at the top

position to allow you to press the

seat back of the child seat firmly

against the vehicle seat back.

If a booster seat without a seatback

is used (figure 4), the car's head

restraint must be adjusted to suit the

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

•No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their

mountings) fitted originally.

•Follow carefully the fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.

• Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint

system.

• The seat belt in the vehicle must be taut so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tension

regularly.

• Never wear the belt under the arm or behind the back.

• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child's stature.

• Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the vehicle is moving.

• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when he or she is asleep.

• Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident were to occur, it may

become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.

• Following a serious accident have the seat belts and restraint systems in use at the time checked.

•Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if he/she is in a restraint device.

•Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.

• Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.
