light off), otherwise over-

heating may occur.

2.7

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (1/3)

“Neutral” 0 usage zone

Indicates nil consumption.

Green “recommended

consumption” B usage zone

The traction battery supplies the elec-

trical energy required for the motor to

move the vehicle.

Yellow “Consumption not

recommended” C usage zone

Indicates high energy consumption.

Charge meter

(on the instrument panel)

The charge meter gives the driver a

real-time view of the vehicle’s energy

consumption.

Blue “Energy recovery” A usage

zone

When driving, if you lift your foot off the

accelerator pedal or apply the brake,

the motor generates electrical current

during deceleration, and this energy is

used to slow down the vehicle and re-

charge the traction battery.

Fuel consumption is accredited in ac-

cordance with a standard regulatory

method. Identical for all manufacturers,

this enables vehicles to be compared

with one another. Consumption in real

time depends on vehicle usage condi-

tions, equipment fitted and the user’s

driving style. To optimise fuel con-

sumption, please refer to the following

advice.

Depending on the vehicle, you will have

various functions which enable you to

lower your fuel consumption:

– charge meter;

– the driving style indicator;

– the journey record and eco-driving

advice via the multimedia display;

– ECO mode – activated by the ECO

button.

If fitted on the vehicle, the navigation

system provides additional information.

The presence and display of this in-

formation depends on the type of

ambiance selected. Please see the

information on “Displays and indica-

tors” in Section 1.

2.8

Journey log (Driving ECO²

Score)

When the engine is switched off,

“Journey record” shows on the multi-

media display 2, for equipped vehicles,

letting you see information about your

last journey.

This indicates:

– average energy consumption;

– number of miles/kilometres travelled.

Driving style indicator

Lets you know about the driving style

adopted (speed and anticipation). You

are notified by the colour in the zone 1

on the instrument panel.

– Green: measured, economical dri-

ving;

– Blue: for less flexible driving;

– Purple: driving too fast.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/3)

The instrument panel or multimedia dis-

play 2 shows:

– an overall grade taking into account

acceleration, braking anticipation

and your skill in managing speed;

– recommendations to enable you to

improve your rating (please see the

equipment instructions).

Navigation system

Using the information available on your

navigation system (traffic information,

nearest charging station, etc.) makes it

easy to manage your journey.

2.9

ECO mode

ECO mode is a function which opti-

mises vehicle range. It acts on all ele-

ments which consume energy (engine

power, heating and/or air conditioning,

etc).

Activating the function

Press switch 3.

The warning light 5

 is displayed

on the instrument panel and the lower

part of the instrument panel 4 goes

green.

Disabling the function

Press switch 3.

The warning light 5

 goes off on

the instrument panel and the lower part

of the instrument panel 4 goes blue.

The cruise control switches to

standby each time the ECO mode

is activated or deactivated. Please

refer to the information on “Cruise

control/speed limiter: cruise control

function” in Section 2.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/3)

While driving, it is possible to leave the

ECO mode temporarily in order to im-

prove engine performance.

To do this, press the accelerator pedal

firmly and fully.

ECO mode is reactivated when you

take pressure off the accelerator pedal.

With ECO mode activated, the vehi-

cle speed is limited to approximately

56 mph (90 km/h).

2.10

VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (1/2)

A “sporty” driving style reduces your

vehicle range: opt for a “lighter” driving

style.

Advice:

– drive at a constant speed.

– keep an eye on the tools available

to you to view the road conditions

(charge meter, current consump-

tion, journey log, etc). Please refer

to the information on “Eco-driving” in

Section 2;

– adapt your driving style to avoid ex-

cessive energy consumption

– favour power recovery: anticipate

traffic changes by lifting your foot off

the accelerator pedal or by braking

gradually.

Road type

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.

The vehicle range is approved for a

mixed NEDC cycle (New European

Driving Cycle).

In real usage, the range of an electric

vehicle may vary depending on several

factors over which you have partial con-

trol, which may make a considerable

difference to the vehicle range. These

factors are:

– speed and driving style;

– type of road;

– heating level;

– tyres;

– use of electrical accessories;

– vehicle loading.

Furthermore, activating ECO mode en-

ables the vehicle to automatically take

charge of all energy consuming ele-

ments (engine power, heating, etc.) to

reduce their consumption to the fullest

possible extent. Please refer to the in-

formation on “Eco-driving” in Section 2.

Speed and driving style

High speeds will reduce your vehicle’s

range.

2.11

VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (2/2)

Heating levels

The use of heating or air-conditioning

reduces vehicle range.

To maintain your vehicle range, you are

recommended to favour:

– before using the vehicle, the “pro-

gramming” mode (please refer to the

information in “Air-conditioning: pro-

gramming” in Section 3).

– while driving, the ECO mode (please

see information about “ECO driving”

in Section 2).

Tyres

An under-inflated tyre increases energy

consumption. Comply with the speci-

fied tyre pressures for your vehicle.

When driving, use tyres made by the

same manufacturer, with the same di-

mensions, type and structure as the

original tyres. The use of non-regula-

tion tyres significantly reduces vehicle

range.

Please see the information on “Tyre

pressure” in Section 4.

Vehicle loading

Avoid pointlessly overloading your ve-

hicle.

2.12

ENVIRONMENT

Please make your own

contribution towards

protecting the environment

too.

– Worn parts replaced in the course

of routine vehicle maintenance (sec-

ondary 12 V battery, batteries, etc.)

must be disposed of through special-

ist 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 legis-

lation.

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and

95% recoverable.

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.

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).

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 group signature.

Manufacture

Your vehicle has been manufactured at

an industrial site which uses a progress

policy to reduce environmental impacts

on rivers and natural areas (reduc-

tion of water and energy consumption,

visual and noise pollution, atmospheric

emissions and waste water, sorting and

reusing waste).

2.13

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)

When fitted to the vehicle, this system

notifies the driver if one or more tyres

lose pressure.

Operating principle

Each wheel (except for the emergency

spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-

tion valve which periodically measures

the tyre pressure while driving.

Warning light

 1 comes on to

alert the driver in the event of insuffi-

cient pressure (deflated wheel, punctu-

red tyre, etc.).

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 a wheel (however

this practice is not recommended);

– after changing a wheel.

It should always be done after checking

the tyre pressure of all four tyres when

cold.

Tyre pressures must correspond to the

current usage of the vehicle (empty,

carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).

This function is an additio-

nal 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.

Check the tyre pressures, including

the emergency spare wheel, once a

month.

2.14

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (2/3)

Note:

The standard tyre pressure cannot be

less than that recommended and indi-

cated on the door frame.

Display

Display 2 on the instrument panel in-

forms you of any tyre pressure faults

(flat tyre, punctured tyre, etc.).

« ADJUST TYRE PRESSURE »

Warning light

 comes on, along

with the message «ADJUST TYRE

PRESSURE».

These indicate that at least one tyre is

flat.

Check and, if necessary, readjust the

pressures of the four wheels when cold.

The warning light

 goes off after a

few minutes’ driving.

« PUNCTURE »

The warning light

 comes on

steady, accompanied by the message

“PUNCTURE” and a beep.

This message appears along with the

® warning light.

They indicate that at least one wheel

is punctured or severely underinfla-

ted. Replace it or contact an approved

dealer if it is punctured. Top up the tyre

pressure if the wheel is deflated.

Warning light ® re-

quires you to stop immedi-

ately, for your own safety,

as soon as traffic conditions

allow.

Resetting procedure

With the ignition on:

– repeatedly press button 3 or 4 to

select the “LEARNING THE TYRE

PRESSURE” function on the dis-

play 2;

– press and hold (around 3 seconds)

button 3 or 4 to start initialisation.

Display of the message “Pressure

ref ongoing” indicates that the reset

request for the tyre pressure refe-

rence value has been taken into ac-

count.

Reinitialisation is carried out after a few

minutes’ driving.

The sudden loss of pressure in a

tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-

tected by the system.

2.15

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (3/3)

“CHECK TYRE PRESSURE SENSORS

The warning light

 flashes for

several seconds, then stays on, along

with the message “CHECK TYRE

PRESSURE SENSORS”.

This message appears along with the

They indicate that at least one tyre is

not fitted with sensors (e.g. emergency

spare wheel). Otherwise, consult an

authorised dealer.

Readjustment of tyre

pressures

The tyre pressures must be adjusted

when cold (please refer to the label lo-

cated on the edge of the driver’s door).

If tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are cold, the recom-

mended pressures must be increased

by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Changing a wheel

The system may take sev-

eral minutes depending on

use for the new wheel pres-

sures to be recognised; check the

tyre pressures after all operations.

Tyre repair product and

inflation kit

Because the valves are specially desi-

gned, only use equipment approved by

the approved network. Please refer to

“Tyre inflation kit” in Section 5.

Replacing wheels/tyres

This system requires specific equip-

ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).

Please see the information on “Tyres”

in Section 5.

Contact an approved Dealer to fit new

tyres and to find out about available ac-

cessories compatible with the system

and available from your dealer network:

the use of any other accessory could

affect the correct operation of the

system or damage a sensor.

Emergency spare wheel

If the vehicle is equipped with an emer- -

gency spare wheel, it will not have a

sensor. When it is fitted on the vehicle,

the warning light

 flashes for se-

veral seconds, then stays on, together

with the warning light

message “CHECK TYRE PRESSURE

SENSORS” appears on the instrument

panel.

2.16

ABS (anti-lock braking

system)

Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents

the wheels from locking, allowing the

stopping distance to be managed and

keeping control of the vehicle.

Under these circumstances, the vehi-

cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle

whilst braking. In addition, this system

can increase stopping distances, par-

ticularly on roads with low surface grip

(wet ground etc.).

You will feel a pulsation through the

brake pedal each time the system is

activated. The ABS does not in any way

improve the vehicle’s physical perform-

ance relating to the road surface and

roadholding. It is still essential to follow

the rules of good driving practice (such

as driving at a safe distance from the

vehicle in front etc.).

These include:

– the ABS (anti-lock braking

system);

– the electronic stability program

ESC with understeer control and

traction control;

– emergency braking assistance

with (depending on the vehicle)

braking anticipation;

– regenerative braking system.

In an emergency, apply firm and

continuous pressure to the brake

pedal. There is no need to pump

it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-

late the force applied in the braking

system.

These functions are an ad-

ditional aid in the event of

critical driving conditions,

enabling the vehicle behav-

iour to be adapted to suit the driving

conditions.

However, the functions do not take

the place of the driver. They do

not increase the vehicle’s limits

and should not encourage you

to drive more quickly. Therefore,

they can under no circumstances

replace the vigilance or responsibil-

ity of the driver when manoeuvring

the vehicle (the driver must always

be ready for sudden incidents which

may occur when driving).

Your braking systems

are 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.

2.17

Electronic stability program

ESC with understeer control

and traction control

Electronic stability control ESC

This system helps you to keep control

of the vehicle in critical driving condi-

tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip

on a bend, etc.).

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 driver input to

the actual trajectory of the vehicle and

corrects the trajectory if necessary by

controlling the braking of certain wheels

and/or engine power. In the event that

the system is engaged, indicator light

 flashes on the instrument panel.

Understeer control

This system optimises the action of the

ESC in the case of pronounced under-

steer (loss of front axle road holding).

Traction control

This system helps to limit wheelspin of

the drive wheels and to control the ve-

hicle when pulling away accelerating or

decelerating.

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 au-

tomatically until the drive supplied be-

comes compatible with the level of grip

under the wheel again.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operat-

ing fault the message “Check ESC” and

Consult an approved dealer.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/4)

2.18

Emergency brake assist

This system supplements the ABS

and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-

tances.

Operating principle

The system is for detecting an emer-

gency braking situation. In this case,

the braking assistance immediately de-

velops maximum power and may trig-

ger ABS regulation.

ABS braking is maintained as long as

the brake pedal is applied.

Hazard warning lights switching on

These may light up in the event of rapid

deceleration.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operat-

ing fault the message “Check brak-

ing system” appears on the instrument

panel along with the

light.

Consult an approved dealer.

Braking anticipation

Depending on the vehicle, when you

rapidly release the accelerator, the

system anticipates the braking ma-

noeuvre in order to reduce stopping

distances.

Special cases

When using the cruise control:

– if you use the accelerator, when you

release it, the system may be trig-

gered;

– if you do not use the accelerator, the

system will not be triggered.

Hill start assistance

This function assists the driver when

starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle

from rolling backwards, depending on

the slope, by automatically applying the

brakes when the driver lifts his/her foot

off the brake pedal to depress the ac-

celerator pedal.

System operation

It only operates when the gear lever is in

a position other than neutral (other than

N or P) and the vehicle is completely

stationary (brake pedal depressed).

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/4)

The system holds the vehicle for ap-

proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are

then gradually released (the vehicle will

move according to the slope).

The hill start assistance

system cannot completely

prevent the vehicle from

rolling backwards in all sit-

uations (extremely steep gradients,

etc.).

In all cases, the driver may depress

the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-

cle from rolling backwards.

The hill start assistance function

should not be used for prolonged

stops: use the brake pedal.

This function is not designed to im-

mobilise the vehicle permanently.

If necessary, use the brake pedal to

stop the vehicle.

The driver must remain particularly

vigilant when driving on slippery or

low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.

Risk of serious injury.

2.19

Regenerative braking system

When braking, the regenerative brak-

ing system can convert the energy pro-

duced by the vehicle deceleration into

electric energy.

This will recharge the 400V traction bat-

tery and gain greater vehicle range.

stay within the driving speed limit that

you choose, known as the limit speed.

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.

2 Limit speed activation, storage and

increase switch (+).

3 Decrease limit speed (-).

4 Speed limiter function standby (with

limited speed memory) (O).

5 Activation and recall of stored limit

speed (R).

2 3

Switching on

Press the side switch 1 . The warn-

ing light

 6 comes on, lit orange, and

the message “Speed limiter” appears

on the instrument panel, accompanied

by dashes to indicate that the speed

limiter function is activated and waiting

to store a limit speed.

To store the current speed, press

switch 2 (+): the limit speed replaces the

dashes and the activation of the speed

limiter is confirmed by the warning light

Ð on an orange background.

The minimum stored speed is 20 mph

(30 km/h).

Varying the limit speed

The limit speed may be changed by re-

peatedly pressing:

– switch 2 (+) to increase speed;

– switch 3 (-) to reduce speed.

The speed limiter function is

in no way linked to the brak-

ing system.

CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter (2/3)

Driving

When a limited speed has been stored

and this speed is not reached, driving is

similar to driving a vehicle without the

speed limiter function.

Once you have reached the stored

speed, no effort on the accelera-

tor pedal will allow you to exceed

the programmed speed except in an

emergency (refer to information on

“Exceeding the limit speed”).

Exceeding the limit speed

It is possible to exceed the limit speed

at any time. To do this: press the accel-

erator pedal firmly and fully (beyond

the resistance point).

If the speed is exceeded, the limited

speed flashes on the instrument panel

and a beep sounds.

Then, release the accelerator: the

speed limiter function will return as

soon as you reach a speed lower than

the stored speed.

Limited speed cannot be maintained

If driving up or down a steep gradient,

the system is unable to maintain the

limit speed: the stored speed will flash

on the instrument panel information dis-

play to inform you of this situation.

2.22

CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter (3/3)

Putting the function on

standby

The speed limiter function is sus-

pended when you press switch 4 (O).

In this case, the speed limit remains

stored and the message “Memorised”

accompanied by this speed appears on

the instrument panel.

Standby is confirmed when the warn-

ing light Ð on the orange back-

ground goes out and the warning light

 comes on.

Recalling the limit speed

If a speed has been saved, it can be re-

called by pressing switch 5 ((R)).

When the stored speed is recalled, ac-

tivation of the speed limiter is confirmed

by the illumination of the warning light

Ð on an orange background.

When the speed limiter is put on

standby, pressing switch 2 (+) re-

activates the function without taking

into account the stored speed: it is

the speed at which the vehicle is

moving that is taken into account.

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is deacti-

vated if you press switch 1: in this case

a speed is no longer stored. The warn-

ing light (

 or Ð) on the instru-

ment panel going out confirms that the

function is stopped.

2.23

CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (1/4)

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 20 mph (30 km/h).

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

This function is an additio-

nal driving aid. However,

the function does not take

the place of the driver.

Therefore, it can under no circums-

tances replace the driver’s responsi-

bility 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

undulating or slippery roads (black

ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during

bad weather (fog, rain, side winds

etc.).

There is a risk of accidents.

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.

2 Limit speed activation, storage and

increase switch (+).

3 Decrease cruising speed (-).

4 Switch the function to standby

(with cruising speed saved) (O).

5 Activation with recall of stored go-

verned cruising speed (R).

2.24

CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)

Switching on

Press switch 1 side .

The warning light

 6 comes on, lit

green, and the message “Cruise ctrl”

appears on the instrument panel, ac-

companied by dashes to indicate that

the cruise control function is activated

and waiting to store a cruising speed.

Activating cruise control

At a steady speed (above 18 mph

(30 km/h approximately)) press switch 2

or (+): the function is activated and the

current speed is saved.

The cruising speed replaces the dashes

and the cruise control is confirmed by

the appearance of the warning light

Ï on a green background.

Driving

Once a cruising speed is stored and

the cruise control function is active,

you may lift your foot off the accelera-

tor pedal.

Important: you are never-

theless advised to keep

your feet close to the pedals

in order to react if neces-

sary.

2.25

CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

Adjusting the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be changed by

pressing the following repeatedly:

– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed,

– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded

at any time by depressing the accele-

rator pedal. While it is being exceeded,

the cruising speed flashes on the ins-

trument panel.

Then, release the accelerator: after a

few seconds, the vehicle will automa-

tically return to its set cruising speed.

Cruising speed cannot be

maintained

When driving down a steep gradient,

the system is unable to maintain the

cruising speed: the stored speed will

flash on the instrument panel informa-

tion display to inform you of this situa-

tion.

Putting the function on

standby

The function is set to standby if you:

– use the switch 4 (O);

– the brake pedal;

– move to neutral position;

– ECO mode switch.

In all four cases, the cruising speed

remains stored and the message

“Memorised” appears on the instrument

panel.

Standby is confirmed when the warning

light

Ï on the green background

goes out and the warning light



comes on.

The cruise control switches to

standby each time the ECO

mode is activated or deactivated.

Please refer to the information on

“Ecodriving” in Section 2.

2.26

CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)

When the cruise control function is

put on standby, pressing switch 2

(+) reactivates the cruise control

function without taking into account

the stored speed: it is the speed at

which the vehicle is moving that is

taken into account.

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.

NB: if the speed previously stored is

much higher than the current speed,

the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly

to reach this threshold.

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is deactiva-

ted if you press switch 1: in this case a

speed is no longer stored. The warning

light (

 or Ï) on the instrument

panel going out confirms that the func-

tion is stopped.

Returning to the cruising speed

If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,

once you are sure that the road condi-

tions are suitable (traffic, road sur-

face, weather conditions, etc.). Press

switch 5 (R) if the vehicle speed is

above 20 mph (30 km/h).

When the stored speed is recalled, acti-

vation of the cruise control is confirmed

by the illumination of the warning light

Ï on a green background.

2.27

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)

Operating principle

Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the

rear bumper (depending on the vehi-

cle), measure the distance between the

vehicle and an obstacle whilst revers-

ing.

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.

NB: the display 1 shows the vehicle

surroundings in conjunction with the

beeps.

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 responsibil-

ity whilst reversing.

The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always

ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-

cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when

manoeuvring.

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 the display 1 lights up.

2.28

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/2)

In the event of an impact to

the underside of the vehicle

(e.g.: striking a post, raised

kerb or other street furni-

ture), this may result in damage to

the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the

electrical circuit or the traction bat-

tery.

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved dealer.

Operating faults

Depending on the vehicle, when the

system detects an operating fault, the

message “check parking distance con-

trol” appears on the instrument panel,

accompanied by the warning light

mately 5 seconds. Please contact an

authorised dealer.

Special features

Make sure that the ultrasonic sensors

are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow,

etc.).

Adjusting the parking

distance control volume

Certain settings can be adjusted from

the multimedia display 2. Please see

the equipment instructions for further

information.

Select “Menu”, “Settings”, “Park Assist”,

then adjust the parking distance control

volume by pressing + or -.

Deactivating the system

You can deactivate the parking distance

control from the multimedia display.

REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)

This gauge remains fixed and indicates

the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are

in line with the vehicle.

Special feature

Make sure that the camera is not ob-

scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Operation

When reversing, the camera 1 on the

boot lid transmits a view of the sur-

roundings to the rear of the vehicle

to the multimedia display 2 accompa-

nied by two clearance gauges 3 and 4

(mobile and fixed).

This system is initially used with the aid

of several gauges (mobile for trajectory

and fixed for distance). When the red

zone is reached, use the bumper image

to stop accurately.

3 moving guide line:

This is shown in blue on screen 2. It in-

dicates the vehicle trajectory according

to the position of the steering wheel.

Fixed gauge 4

The fixed clearance gauge comprises

coloured markers A, B and C, indicat-

ing the distance behind the vehicle:

– A (red) approximately 30 centime-

tres from the vehicle;

– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-

metres from the vehicle;

– C (green) approximately 150 centi-

metres from the vehicle.

2.30

REVERSING CAMERA (2/2)

This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circum-

stances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.

The driver should always pay attention to sudden incidents during driv-

ing: 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.

The screen shows a reverse image.

The frames are a representation

projected onto flat ground; this in-

formation 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.

If the boot is open or poorly closed,

the message “Boot open” appears

and the camera display disappears.

Activating/deactivating the

reversing camera

From the multimedia display 2, select

“Menu”, “Settings”, “Parking distance

control” then “Rear camera settings”.

Activate or deactivate the reversing

camera and confirm your choice by se-

lecting “End”.

You can also adjust the camera image

settings (brightness, contrast, etc.)
