Get Driving Guide for Renault Symbioz 4 Door First Generation (2024-2026)

RUNNING IN

For the first 620 miles (1,000 km) do

not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in the

highest gear, or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.

You can only expect top perfor-

mance from your vehicle after ap-

proximately 1,860 miles (3,000 km).

Note: for a new vehicle in the run-

ning-in phase: the coolant level may

be higher than the "MAXI" mark on

the tank, then drop to between the

"MINI" and "MAXI" marks. This does

not present a risk.

If one of the conditions is not ap-

plied, D flashes for around five sec-

onds and the "Press brake" mes-

sage is displayed on the instrument

panel for approximately 15 seconds.

In the majority of driving conditions,

you will no longer have to use your

gear lever: the gears change "auto-

matically", at the right time, to a suit-

able engine speed because the au-

tomated system takes the vehicle's

load, road profile and the selected

driving style into account.

Note: with the engine running and

the vehicle travelling at between 0

and 5 mph (0 and 8 km/h), in N or R

position, you will have to press the

brake pedal in order to engage D po-

sition. This is useful during parking

manoeuvres requiring a number of

alternate forward and reverse

movements.

If the brake pedal is not pressed, a

beep will sound, the R position flash-

es for around five seconds in the grid

displayed on the instrument panel

and the "Press brake" message is

displayed for approximately 15 sec-

onds.

Note: with the engine running and

the vehicle moving at between ap-

proximately 0 and 5 mph (8 km/h), in

N or D position you do not need to

press the brake pedal to engage R

position. This is useful during park-

ing manoeuvres requiring a number

of alternate forward and reverse

movements.

It is also possible to shift down at

any time for overtaking purposes, by

pressing the left-hand paddle.

Driving in mode B

This mode enables driving with

greater regenerative engine brak-

ing. When releasing the accelerator

pedal, the vehicle uses regenerative

braking to slow down.

Thus the electric motor generates a

higher electrical current which en-

ables the traction battery to be

recharged.

In B mode, the regenerative braking

performance will be reduced if the

battery is cold or fully charged.

The engine brake should

under no circumstances

be used as a substitute for

the brake pedal.

Economical driving

When driving, always leave the lever

in position D, keeping the accelera-

tor pedal lightly depressed to ensure

P is displayed on the instrument

panel and the P button warning light

is on.

As position P is automatically en-

gaged when the engine is stopped, it

is sometimes necessary to place the

vehicle in position N for some car

washes, for example:

– with the engine on, press the P but-

ton, move the selector lever 1 one

stop the engine;

– with the engine off and the ignition

on, move the selector lever 1 a notch

forwards or backwards then switch-

Special circumstances

–

If the road type or weather condi-

tions (steep uphill slopes, sudden

downhill slopes, deep snow, sand or

mud) make it difficult to stay in auto-

matic mode, depending on the vehi-

cle, it is advisable to switch to manu-

al mode using the paddles. This will

prevent the "automatic gearbox"

from changing gears repeatedly

when driving uphill, and permit en-

gine braking on long descents.

For safety reasons, do

not switch off the igni-

tion before the vehicle

has come to a com-

plete standstill.

Maintenance period

Refer to the maintenance document

for your vehicle or consult an Ap-

proved Dealer to check whether the

automatic gearbox requires sched-

uled maintenance.

If it does not need to be serviced,

there is no need to top up the oil.

–

In cold weather, wait a few sec-

onds before disengaging P or N posi-

tion and then engage the lever in D

or R position to prevent the engine

stalling.

The next time the engine is restart-

ed, position P is engaged automati-

Special circumstances

permanent manual mode is acti-

vated by pressing and holding either

of the paddles. The driving mode M

and the gear engaged appear on

the instrument panel.

Note: the return to automatic mode

is carried out by pressing and hold-

ing the right-hand paddle or by mov-

ing the one-touch lever 1 two notch-

es backwards.

In all situations:

– to shift down through the gears,

press the left-hand paddle;

– to move up through the gears,

press the right-hand paddle.

Note: depending on the display, the

" + " indicator light next to the gear

position suggests that you shift up a

gear.

–

If the road type or weather condi-

tions (steep uphill slopes, sudden

downhill slopes, deep snow, sand or

mud) make it difficult to stay in auto-

matic mode, depending on the vehi-

cle, it is advisable to switch to manu-

al mode using the paddles. This will

prevent the "automatic gearbox"

from changing gears repeatedly

when driving uphill, and permit en-

gine braking on long descents.

Paddles 5 and 6 allow you to change

gears while D position is engaged.

5 : change to a lower gear.

6 : change to a higher gear.

The P, N and R positions cannot be

accessed using the paddles.

When driving in D position, you can

switch to manual driving mode using

ways use the highest gear possible.

– Avoid sudden acceleration.

– Brake as little as possible. If you

anticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-

vance, you may then simply release

will increase fuel consumption by

4%.

– Never fill the fuel tank right to the

brim to avoid overflow.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING

Advice for reducing consumption

and helping to preserve the environ-

ment:

If the driver takes this action it en-

ables the vehicle to stop accelerat-

ing and to limit the use of the brakes.

Operating principle

If the vehicle has been parked in the

sun, open the doors for a few mo-

ments to let the hot air escape be-

fore starting the engine.

– Do not leave an empty roof rack

fitted to the vehicle.

This enables a reduction in fuel con-

sumption and wear of the brake

pads and tyres.

Activation/deactivation

From the "Vehicle" world, select the

"Driving aids" menu, then "ECO pre-

dictive driving assistant".

– 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 "door-

to-door" calls (short journeys with

long waits in between) because in

such conditions the engine never

reaches its optimal operating tem-

perature.

ving assistant is subscrip-

This system detects a loss of pres-

sure in one of the tyres by measuring

the wheel speed while driving.

Warning light

2 comes on

steady to alert the driver in the event

of insufficient pressure (deflated

wheel, punctured tyre, etc.).

When fitted to the vehicle, this sys-

tem notifies the driver if one or more

tyres lose pressure.

1 7 6 - D r i v i n g

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING

– significant change in load or distri-

bution of load on one side of the ve-

hicle;

– sporty driving with strong acceler-

ation;

– driving on snowy or slippery sur-

face;

– driving with snow chains;

– fitting a single new tyre;

– use of tyres not approved by the

network.

– after each re-inflation or resetting

of tyre pressure;

– after changing a wheel;

– after changing wheels around.

Tyre pressures must correspond to

the current usage of the vehicle

(empty, carrying a load, motorway

driving, etc.). Respect the tyre pres-

sures (including the emergency

spare wheel). Check them at least

once a month and before every long

journey (refer to the label on the

edge of the driver’s doorꢀ 340).

This function is an ad-

the vigilance or the responsibili-

ty of the driver. Check the tyre

pressures, including the emer-

gency spare wheel, once a

The tyre pressure must be

checked before starting

the resetting procedure.

The system will not issue a

warning if the pressure does not

correspond to the recommend-

ed pressure.

Resetting procedure via the multi-

media screen 3

Operating conditions

In order to provide a reliable warning

in the event of pressure loss, the sys-

tem must be reset with an inflation

pressure equal to one of those

shown on the tyre inflation pressure

label (reference values) ꢀ 340.

Resetting should always be carried

out after checking the tyre pressure

of all four tyres when cold.

In the following situations, the sys-

tem risk coming into action late or

not functioning correctly:

The sudden loss of pres-

sure in a tyre (burst tyre,

etc.) cannot be immedi-

ately detected by the system.

– system not reset after reinflation

or any operation on the wheels;

– incorrectly reset system: tyre pres-

sures different from the recom-

mended pressures;

Warning

This function is an additional driving aid. It can under no circumstances replace the driver's responsibility to

respect speed limits and safe distances or to be vigilant.

The driver must always be in control of the vehicle.

The driver must always adapt their speed to the surroundings and driving conditions, regardless of system

indications. Except for lines delimiting lanes, traffic indicators (traffic lights, signs, pedestrian crossings etc.) are not

recognised by the system. These do not trigger any alert or reaction by the system.

The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector or an anti-collision system.

The adaptive cruise control must only be used on a motorway (or multi-lane road separated by a barrier).

System servicing/repairs

– In the event of an impact, the radar and/or camera alignment may be changed and its operation may conse-

quently be affected. Deactivate the system and consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the proximity of the radar and/or camera (replacements, repairs, windscreen modifications, paint-

work etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

– the vehicle is being driven in a tunnel or close to a metallic structure;

– the vehicle arrives at a toll point, a roadwork area or on a narrow lane;

– the vehicle is being driven up or down a very steep slope;

– the visibility is poor (glaring sun, fog, etc.);

– the vehicle is being driven on a slippery road surface (rain, snow, gravel, etc.);

– the weather conditions are poor (rain, snow, side winds, etc.);

– the radar area has been damaged (impacts, etc.);

– the camera area has been damaged (e.g. on the inside or outside of the windscreen);

– the windscreen is cracked or distorted.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

In the event of system disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the system's operation, such as:

–

the windscreen or the radar area is obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation, number plate, etc.);

– a complex environment (tunnel, etc.);

– poor weather conditions (snow, heavy rain, hail, black ice, etc.);

– poor visibility (night, fog, etc.);

3

– poor contrast between the vehicle preceding it and the surrounding area (e.g. white vehicle in a snowy area, etc.);

– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction; etc.);

– narrow, winding or undulating road (tight bends, etc.);

– a slower vehicle with a significant difference in speed;

– use of mats not adapted to the vehicle. 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. There is a risk of

wedging the pedals.

In these cases, the system may wrongly intervene.

Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.

Many unforeseen situations may affect the system operation. Certain objects or vehicles that can appear in the

camera or radar detection zone may be interpreted by the system incorrectly, possibly leading to inappropriate ac-

celeration or braking.

You should always be attentive to sudden events that might occur while you are driving. Always keep your vehicle

under control by keeping your feet near the pedals, so that you are ready to act in any event.

ACTIVE DRIVER ASSIST

(depending on the country and sub-

scription).

If the vehicle in front stops, the Stop

and Go adaptive cruise control may

brake your vehicle to a complete

stop before setting off again.

– the adaptive cruise control can

brake the vehicle up to a third of the

braking capacity. Depending on the

situation, the driver may need to

brake harder.

The "Active driver assist" system is a

driving aid for use outside urban ar-

eas, on wide roads with visible lines.

This system consists of the "Adap-

tive cruise controlStop and Go"

function ꢀ 234 and the "Lane Cen-

tring" function.

This system enables the driver to:

– maintain vehicle speed based on a

previously stored speed;

– adjust the distance between their

vehicle and the vehicle in front;

– direct the trajectory of the vehicle

in the lane;

– adapt the vehicle speed to the

speed shown on the road signs, au-

tomatically or after confirmation by

the driver (depending on the vehi-

cle).

The Stop and Go adaptive

cruise control does not

trigger an emergency

stop and its braking capability

is limited.

Important: you should

keep your feet near the

pedals and your hands

on the steering wheel

at all times to prepare for any

event.

The "Lane Centring" function

Using information from a camera,

the "Lane Centring" function manip-

ulates the steering system to direct

the vehicle in the lane.

The system controls acceleration

and deceleration of your vehicle us-

ing the engine and braking system.

The Stop and Go adaptive cruise

control function can be activated

from 0 to 112 mph (180 km/h), de-

pending on the vehicle and accord-

ing to road conditions (traffic,

weather, etc.).

If the conditions allow it, the function

ACTIVE DRIVER ASSIST

Warning

The "Active driver assist" is an additional driving aid. it can under no circumstances replace the driver's re-

sponsibility to respect speed limits and safe distances and to be vigilant.

The driver must always be in control of the vehicle.

The driver must always adapt their trajectory and speed according to the surroundings and driving condi-

tions, regardless of system indications.

3

Except for lines delimiting lanes and the speed limit signs within the limits of the system's detection capacity, the

road sign information (other traffic signs, traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, etc.) are not recognised by the system.

These do not trigger any alert or reaction by the system.

The "Active driver assist" uses the "Stop and Go "adaptive cruise control" and "Lane centering assist." functions.

The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector or an anti-collision system.

Use the "Active driver assist" exclusively outside built-up areas, on wide roads with visible lines.

It must not be used in heavy traffic, on winding or slippery roads (black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) or during bad

weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).

There is a risk of accidents.

System servicing/repairs

– In the event of an impact, the radar and/or camera alignment may be changed and its operation may conse-

quently be affected. Deactivate the system and consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the proximity of the radar and/or camera (replacements, repairs, windscreen modifications, paint-

work etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

2 6 2 - D r i v i n g

Deactivating the system

You must deactivate the system if:

–

the vehicle is travelling on a winding road;

– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

– the vehicle is towing a trailer or a caravan;

3

– the vehicle is being driven in a tunnel or close to a metallic structure;

– the vehicle arrives at a toll point, a roadwork area or on a narrow lane;

– the vehicle is being driven up or down a very steep slope;

– the weather conditions are poor (rain, snow, side winds, etc.);

– the vehicle is being driven on a slippery road surface (rain, snow, gravel, etc.);

– the camera area has been damaged (e.g. interior or exterior windscreen area); the windscreen is cracked or dis-

torted;

– the radar area has been damaged (impacts, etc.);

– the surface of the steering wheel is damaged or damp.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and contact an authorised dealer.

D r i v i n g - 2 6 3

ACTIVE DRIVER ASSIST

Some conditions can disrupt or damage the system operation, for example:

obstruction of the windscreen or the radar area (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.) Frequently check

–

the cleanliness and condition of the windscreen, front wiper blades and front bumper;

– a complex environment (tunnel, etc.);

– poor weather conditions (snow, heavy rain, hail, black ice, etc.);

– poor visibility (night, fog, etc.);

3

– poor contrast between the vehicle preceding it and the surrounding area (e.g. white vehicle in a snowy area, etc.);

– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction; etc.);

– narrow, winding or undulating road (tight bends, etc.);

– the tar lines detected as a line by the system;

– narrowing/widening lanes;

– multiple road markings (roadworks, etc.) ; the road lines are irregular or difficult to distinguish (e.g. partially erased

markings, excessive spacing, uneven road surface, etc.);

– road signs that do not include an arrow, located on a motorway exit;

– an area with low connectivity that makes it impossible to geolocate the vehicle, or maps that are not up-to-date;

– a vehicle with a significant difference in speed;

– use of mats not adapted to the vehicle. 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. There is a risk of

wedging the pedals.

In these cases:

–

Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.

Risk of unwanted, incorrect correction or no correction of trajectory.

Many unforeseen situations may affect the system operation. Certain objects or vehicles that can appear in the

camera or radar detection zone may be interpreted by the system incorrectly, possibly leading to inappropriate ac-

celeration or braking.

You should always be attentive to sudden events that might occur while you are driving. Always maintain your vehi-

cle under control by keeping your feet near the pedals and your hands on the steering wheel, so that you are ready

to act in any event.

operational:

– in countries covered by the associ-

ated telephone emergency services

and infrastructure compatible with

the system;

– depending on the network cover-

age in the geographical region

where the vehicle is being driven.

If you use the emergency call func-

tion to report an accident which you

have witnessed, this implies stop-

to locate your vehicle and therefore

gency services;

– data related to the incident

(manufacturer's plate, time of the

call, last locations, vehicle direction,

– voice communication takes place

with the emergency services;

– if necessary, emergency assis-

tance is called.
