special note:

– If the dipped beam headlights are

manually switched on and if the light

is sufficient, the directional head-

lights will remain fixed;

– If the lights come on automatically

when cornering, the directional

headlights will start working from the

next time the vehicle corners;

– When the dipped beam headlights

are switched on with the engine

running and the vehicle stationary,

the lights move to reinitialise them-

selves. If not, there is a system fault.

switching off the lights

There are two possibilities:
– Manually, move ring 2 to position 0;
– automatically, the lights will go out

when the engine is switched off, the

driver’s door is opened or the vehicle

is locked. In this case, the next time

the engine is started the lights will be

switched back on according to the

position of the ring 2.

“see-me-home lighting”

function

This function allows you to briefly switch

on the dipped beam headlights (to pro-

vide light when opening a gate, etc.).
With the engine and lights off and

ring 2 in position 0, pull stalk 1 towards

you: the dipped beam headlights come

on for approximately thirty seconds.

To increase this duration, you may pull

the stalk up to four times (total time re-

stricted to two minutes). The message

“lighting for_ _ _” along with the times

the lights will be on for is displayed on

the instrument panel to confirm this

action.
To switch off the lights before they go

out automatically, turn ring 2 to any po-

sition, then return it to position

0.

directional headlights

Depending on the vehicle, with the

dipped beam headlights on and under

certain conditions (speed, steering

wheel angle, forwards gear selected,

etc.) when cornering, the dipped beam

headlights move to light the inside of

the bend.

When driving in fog or snow, or

when transporting objects which are

higher than the roof, the headlights

do not come on automatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains

the responsibility of the driver: the

indicator lights on the instrument

panel inform you whether the fog

lights are lit (indicator light on) or not

(indicator light not on).

g

front fog lights

Turn centre ring 5 on stalk 1

until the symbol faces mark 6, then re-

lease it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on

the exterior lighting position selected,

and an indicator light will light up on the

instrument panel.

f

Rear fog light

Turn centre ring 5 on the stalk

until the symbol faces mark 6, then re-

lease it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on

the exterior lighting selected, and an in-

dicator light will light up on the instru-

ment panel.
To avoid inconveniencing other road

users, remember to switch off the rear

fog light when it is no longer needed.
Note: depending on the vehicle, only

the fog light is located on the driver’s

side.

Lights-on reminder buzzer

If the lights are on after the engine is

switched off, a warning beep sounds

when the driver’s door is opened to

warn you that the lights are still on.

switching off the lights

Turn ring 5 again until mark 6 is oppo-

site the symbol for the fog light that you

wish to switch off. The corresponding

indicator light on the instrument panel

goes out.
The front and rear fog lights switch off

when the exterior lights are switched

off.

Check the condition of the wiper

blades. You are responsible for their

service life:
– they must remain clean: clean

the blades, windscreen and

rear screen regularly with soapy

water;

– do not use them when the wind-

screen or rear screen are dry;

– free them from the windscreen or

rear screen when they have not

been used for a long time.

In all cases, replace them as soon

as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-

proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check

that no object obstructs the travel of

the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or

close the tailgate.

Activation/deactivation of the rear

screen wiper
Your vehicle is designed to activate the

rear wiping function in reverse gear (if

the windscreen wipers are operating).

You can choose to activate or deacti-

vate the function. To do this, refer to

the information on the “Vehicle set-

tings customisation menu” in Section 1;

“Rear wiping in reverse gear”.

filling with fuel

With the ignition off, insert the nozzle to

open valve B and insert it fully before

turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of

splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position

throughout the entire filling operation.

When the pump cuts out automatically

at the end of the filling procedure, a

maximum of two further filling attempts

may be made, as there must be suffi-

cient space in the fuel tank to allow for

expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel

tank during filling. Valve B and its sur-

round must remain clean.

petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the

antipollution system and may lead to a

loss of warranty.

To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled

with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler

neck contains a restrictor fitted with a

foolproof system which

only allows

the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be

used (at the pump).

vehicles running on ethanol-based

fuel
It is

essential to use unleaded petrol or

fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-

anol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very

difficult or even impossible to start the

engine. To avoid this problem, use un-

leaded petrol or, for equipped vehi-

cles, use the heater integrated into the

engine: connect the specified end of

the extension piece supplied into the

socket integrated into the radiator grille

and the other end into a

220v socket

for at least 6 hours before starting.
Note: you may notice an increase in

fuel consumption with this type of fuel.

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 steer-

ing, etc. and the passive safety de-

vices such as air bags and preten-

sioners will no longer operate.
