should be avoided:

If you notice any of the above operating

faults, have the necessary repairs car-

ried out as soon as possible by an ap-

proved dealer.

– driving for long periods when the low

fuel level warning light is lit;

These faults may be avoided by regu-

larly taking your vehicle to an approved

Dealer at the intervals specified in the

Maintenance Document.

– using leaded petrol;

– using fuel or lubrication additives

which are not approved.

Or operating faults such as:

Starting problems

– faulty ignition, running out of fuel or

disconnected spark plugs resulting

in the engine misfiring or cutting out

when driving;

To avoid damaging the catalytic con-

verter, 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.

– 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 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 sub-

stances or materials such

as grass or leaves can come into

contact with the hot exhaust system.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (1/3)

Fuel consumption is accredited in ac-

cordance with a standard regulatory

method. Identical for all manufactur-

ers, this enables vehicles to be com-

pared with one another. Consumption

in real time depends on vehicle usage

conditions, the equipment fitted and the

user’s driving style. To optimise fuel

consumption, please refer to the follow-

ing advice.

Journey record

1

Once the engine is switched off, you

will see “Journey record” displayed on

the screen 1, enabling you to view in-

formation relating to your last journey.

This indicates:

– average fuel consumption;

– number of miles/kilometres travelled;

– number of miles/kilometres saved.

Depending on the vehicle, you will have

various functions which enable you to

lower your fuel consumption:

– gear change indicator;

– the journey record and eco-driving

advice via the multimedia display;

Gear change indicator

To optimise consumption, a warning

light on the screen 1 tells you the best

time to change gear:

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/3)

An overall rating from 0 to 100 is dis-

played to let you assess your eco driv-

ing performance. The higher the score,

the better your eco-driving perform-

ance.

Eco advice is given to help improve

your performance.

With your favourite journeys saved, you

can evaluate your performance.

For more information, please see the

multimedia system instructions.

– Avoid sudden acceleration.

– Brake as little as possible. If you an-

ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-

vance, you may then simply release

the accelerator pedal.

– 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:

Driving advice, Eco-driving

Do not drive through floods

if the water is above the

lower edge of the wheel

rims.

Behaviour

– Drive carefully for the first few miles

until the engine reaches its normal

operating temperature, rather than

let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-

tionary.

Obstructions to the driver

On the driver’s side, only

use mats suitable for the

vehicle, attached with the

pre-fitted components, and check

the fitting regularly. Do not lay one

mat on top of another.

– Speed is expensive.

– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive

with a light right foot.

– Do not overrev the engine in the in-

termediate gears.

There is a risk of wedging the

pedals

You should always use the highest

gear possible.

2.16

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/3)

– In vehicles fitted with air condi-

tioning, it is normal to observe an

increase in fuel consumption (es-

pecially in urban conditions) when

it is used. 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:

If the vehicle has been parked in the

sun, open the doors for a few mo-

ments to let the hot air escape before

starting the engine.

– Do not leave an empty roof rack

fitted to the vehicle.

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

jects.

– When towing a caravan, fit a wind

deflector and adjust it carefully.

– Avoid using the car for door-to-door

calls (short journeys with long waits

in between) because the engine

never reaches its normal operating

temperature.

Tyres

Advice on use

– An underinflated tyre increases fuel

consumption.

– The use of non-recommended tyres

can increase fuel consumption.

– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the

electrical components which are

not really needed. However (safety

first), keep your lights on when the

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

– Use the air vents. Driving with the

windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)

will increase fuel consumption by

4%.

– Never fill the fuel tank right to the

brim to avoid overflow.

2.17

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE

Your vehicle complies with criteria for

recycling and recovering vehicles at the

end of their service life, which will come

into force in 2015.

Maintenance

It is important to remember that fail-

ure to respect anti-pollution regulations

could lead to legal action being taken

against the vehicle owner.

Exhaust gas monitoring

system

The exhaust gas monitoring system will

detect any operating faults in the vehi-

cle’s antipollution system.

If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-

stances may be released into the at-

mosphere or damage may occur.

Some of the parts on your vehicle have

been designed to be recycled later.

In addition, replacing engine, fuel

supply system and exhaust compo-

nents with parts other than those origi-

nally recommended by the manufac-

turer may alter your vehicle so that it

no longer complies with anti-pollution

regulations.

These parts are easily removable in

order to be collected and reprocessed

in recycling networks.

This warning light on the in-

strument panel will indicate if

there are any faults in the system:

This lights up when the ignition is

switched on and goes out when the

engine is started.

Ä

Furthermore, by virtue of its design,

moderate fuel consumption and initial

settings, your vehicle also conforms

to current anti-pollution regulations.

The manufacturer is actively striving

to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emis-

sions and to save energy. However,

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.

Have your vehicle adjusted and

checked by an authorised dealer, in ac-

cordance with the instructions given in

your maintenance schedule: they will

have all the equipment necessary for

ensuring that your vehicle is maintained

to its original standard.

– If it lights up continuously, consult an

approved Dealer as soon as possi-

ble;

– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed

until the light stops flashing. Contact

an authorised dealer as soon as pos-

sible.

Engine adjustments

– Air filter, fuel filter: a choked ele-

ment will reduce efficiency. It must

be replaced.

– Idle speed: no adjustment is needed.

ENVIRONMENT

Your vehicle has been designed with

respect for the environment in mind for

its entire service life: during production,

use and at the end of its life.

This commitment is illustrated by the

Renault eco² signature.

– At the end of the vehicle’s service

life, it should be sent to approved

centres to ensure that it is recycled.

Emissions

Your vehicle has been designed to

emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)

while in use, and therefore to consume

less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to

5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).

– In all cases, comply with local legis-

lation.

Our vehicles are also equipped with a

particle filter system including a cata-

lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and

an active carbon filter (the latter pre-

vents vapour from the fuel tank being

released into the open air).

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and

95% recoverable.

Manufacture

Your vehicle has been manufactured at

a factory which complies with a policy

to reduce the environmental impact

on the surrounding areas (reduction of

water and energy consumption, visual

and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-

sions and waste water; sorting and re-

using waste).

To achieve these objectives, many of

the vehicle components have been de-

signed to enable them to be recycled.

The materials and structures have

been carefully designed to allow these

components to be easily removed and

reprocessed by specialist companies.

For certain diesel vehicles, this system

also has a particle filter to reduce the

volume of soot particles emitted.

Please make your own

contribution towards

protecting the environment

too

– Worn parts replaced in the course of

routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-

cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-

ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or

filled with used oil) must be disposed

of through specialist organisations.

In order to preserve raw material re-

sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-

merous parts made from recycled plas-

tics or renewable materials (vegetable

or animal-derived materials such as

cotton or wool).

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (1/4)

If the vehicle is equipped with the func-

tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-

sure.

It should always be done after checking

the tyre pressure of all four tyres when

cold.

1

Tyre pressures must correspond to the

current usage of the vehicle (empty,

carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).

Operating principle

Each wheel (except for the emergency

spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-

tion valve which periodically measures

the tyre pressure. The system informs

the driver via the on-board compu-

ter 1 that the tyres are sufficiently in-

flated and warns if they are underinfla-

ted or leaking. The warning light

comes on to warn the driver if the pres-

sure is too low.

ꢄ

Resetting the standard level

for the tyre pressures

This should be done:

– when the standard tyre pressure

needs to be changed to adapt to

usage conditions (empty, carrying a

load, motorway driving, etc.);

– after swapping wheels over (how-

ever this practice is not recom-

mended);

– reset can take several minutes of dri-

ving.

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid.

However, the function does

not take the place of the

driver. It cannot, therefore, under

any circumstances replace the vi-

gilance or the responsibility of the

driver.

– after changing a wheel.

Check the tyre pressures, including

the emergency spare wheel, once a

month.

Disabling the traction control

system

If the vehicle is fitted with this 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 wheel-

spin. If this is not required, it is possible

to deactivate the function by pressing

The system also adjusts the engine

speed to the grip available under the

wheels, independently of the pressure

exerted on the accelerator pedal.

The traction control system offers ad-

ditional safety. It is recommended that

you do not drive with the function di-

sabled. Correct this as soon as pos-

sible by pressing the switch 1 again.

The message “Traction control off” is

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/4)

Rear parking distance control

Operation

When reverse gear is selected, most

objects which are less than approxi-

mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the

vehicle are detected, a beep sounds

and, depending on the vehicle, the dis-

play 1 comes on.

1

This function is an addi-

tional aid that indicates the

distance between the vehi-

cle and an obstacle whilst

reversing, using sound signals.

Under no circumstances should it

replace the driver’s care or respon-

sibility whilst reversing.

The driver should always look out

for sudden hazards during driv-

ing: always ensure that there are

no moving obstacles (such as a

child, animal, pram or bicycle, etc.)

or small, narrow objects such as

stones or posts in your path when

manoeuvring.

Automatic deactivation of the rear

parking distance control

The system deactivates:

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 re-

versing.

– depending on the model, when the

vehicle is stationary for more than

approximately 5 seconds and an ob-

stacle is detected (such as when in a

traffic jam, etc.);

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 30 centi-

metres from the obstacle.

– when reverse gear is disengaged;

– when the vehicle speed is above ap-

proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

Note: the display 1 shows the vehicle

surroundings in conjunction with the

beeps.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/4)

Front parking distance

control

(depending on vehicle)

1

Operation

The parking distance control system

is only activated when the vehicle is

driven at a speed below approximately

6 mph (10 km/h).

Most objects located less than around

1 metre away from the front of the ve-

hicle are detected and a beep sounds.

Depending on the vehicle, the display 1

lights up.

Automatic deactivation of the front

parking distance control

If there are obstacles located close to

both the front and rear of the vehicle,

only the closest of the two will be ac-

knowledged and the corresponding

front or rear beep sound will be emit-

ted. If obstacles are detected both at

the front and rear of the vehicle at the

same time, and they are both less than

30 centimetres away from the vehicle,

the corresponding front and rear beeps

will sound alternately.

The system deactivates:

– when the vehicle speed is above ap-

proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);

An impact to the under-

side of the vehicle while

manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-

ing a post, raised kerb or

other street furniture) may result in

damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-

mation of an axle).

– depending on the model, when the

vehicle is stationary for more than

approximately 5 seconds and an ob-

stacle is detected (such as when in a

traffic jam, etc.);

– when the vehicle is in neutral or

when the gear lever has been shifted

to N or P for automatic gearboxes.

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved Dealer.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/3)

Driving in manual mode

Special circumstances

Parking the vehicle

With the selector lever in position D,

move the lever to the left. Shifting the

lever repeatedly allows you to change

gears manually:

– If the road contours and bends

do not allow you to stay in automa-

tic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),

we recommend that you change to

manual mode.

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 me-

chanically locked by the driveshaft.

– To move down through the gears,

push the lever backwards;

This will prevent the automatic gear-

box from changing gears repeatedly

when climbing, and permit engine

braking on long descents.

Apply the handbrake or, depending

on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-

tronic parking brake is applied.

– To move up through the gears, push

the lever forwards.

The gear selected is displayed on the

instrument panel.

– In cold weather, to prevent the

engine from stalling, wait a few mo-

ments before shifting the selector

lever from position P or N and enga-

ging D or R.

Special cases

Under certain driving conditions (e.g.

engine protection, or electronic stability

program (ESP) operational etc.): the

automatic system may change gear au-

tomatically.

An impact to the under-

side of the vehicle while

manoeuvring (e.g.: stri-

king a post, raised kerb or

other street furniture) may result in

damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-

mation of an axle).

Likewise, to prevent incorrect ma-

noeuvres, a gear change may be re-

fused by the automatic system: in this

case the gear display flashes for a few

seconds as a warning.

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an appro-

ved Dealer.

In very cold weather, the system

may prevent the gears from being

shifted in manual mode until the

gearbox reaches the right tempera-

ture.

information on “Towing” in Section 5.

When setting off, if the lever is locked

in position P, even though you are de-

pressing the brake pedal and pressing

the unlocking button 10, the lever can

still be released manually. To do this,

unclip the base of the gear lever star-

ting on the side below the heating and

air conditioning controls A, press the

button 11 and at the same time, press

the release button 10 on the lever.
