Always wear your seat belt when trav-elling in your vehicle. You must alsocomply with the legislation of the par-ticular country you are in.

Before starting, first adjust your driv-ing position, then ask all occupantsto adjust their seat belt to ensure op-timum protection.

Adjusting your drivingposition

– Sit well back in your seat (havingfirst removed your coat or jacket).This is essential to ensure your backis positioned correctly.

– Adjust the distance between theseat and the pedals.Your seat should be as far back aspossible while still allowing you todepress the clutch pedal fully. Theseatback should be adjusted so thatyour arms are slightly bent when youhold the steering wheel.

– Adjust the position of your head-

rest.For safety reasons, the top of theheadrest must be level with the topof the head.

– Adjust the position of the steeringwheel.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against theseatback.

Shoulder strap 1 must be as close aspossible to the base of the neck.

Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over thethighs and against the pelvis.

The seat belt should be worn so thatit is as close as possible to your body,

i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing orkeeping bulky objects under the belts,etc.Make sure that the rear bench seat

is locked in position correctly so thatthe rear seat belts will operate effi-ciently. Refer to the information onthe “Rear bench seat: functions” inSection 3.

Seat belts which are incor-rectly adjusted or twistedmay cause injuries in theevent of an accident.

SEAT BELTS



1.18

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts. – No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their mountings)

fitted originally. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats) contact an approved Dealer.

– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn tooloosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.

– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.

– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt aroundthem.

– The belt should never be twisted.

– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon asthey show any signs of wear.

– When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used prop-erly.

– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.

– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se-cured.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)



1.19

These are:

– pretensioners;

– force limiters;

– air bags for driver and front pas-senger;

– side air bags (depending on vehi-cle).

These systems are designed to operateindependently or together in the eventof a front, side or rear impact.

Depending on the severity of theimpact, the system can trigger:

– seat belt locking;

– the buckle pretensioner (which en-gages to correct seat belt slack);

– the air bags.

Pretensioners

With the ignition switched on, if the ve-hicle is subjected to a significant fron-tal impact the system may, dependingon the severity of the impact, triggerpiston 1 which instantly retracts thebelt.

The pretensioners hold the seat beltagainst the body, holding the occupantmore securely against the seat, thus in-

creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.

– Have the entire restraintsystem checked followingan accident.

– No operation whatso-ever is permitted on any part ofthe system (pretensioners, air

bags, computers, wiring) and thesystem components must notbe reused on any other vehicle,even if identical.

– To avoid incorrect triggering ofthe system which may causeinjury, only qualified personnelfrom an approved dealer maywork on the pretensioner and airbag system.

– The electric trigger system mayonly be tested by a speciallytrained technician using specialequipment.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,contact an approved dealer fordisposal of the pretensioner andair bag gas generators.

1




1.20

Force limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, thismechanism is used to limit the force ofthe belt against the body so that it is atan acceptable level.

Air bags for driver and frontpassenger

Fitted to the driver and passenger side.

The presence of this equipment is in-dicated by the word “Air bag” on thesteering wheel and the dashboard (air

bag zone A) and a label on the lowerpart of the windscreen or on the sunvisor.

Each air bag system consists of:

– an air bag and gas generator fittedon the steering wheel for the driverand in the dashboard for the frontpassenger;

– a shared computer, which includesthe impact detector and the moni-tor controlling the electrical triggersystem for each of the gas genera-tors;

– depending on the vehicle, an addi-tional side impact detector;

– a singleå warning light on theinstrument panel.

The air bag system usespyrotechnic principles. Thisexplains why, when the airbag inflates, it will gener-

ate heat, produce smoke (this doesnot mean that a fire is about to start)

and make a noise upon detonation.In a situation where an air bag isrequired, it will inflate immediatelyand this may cause some minor, su-perficial grazing to the skin or otherproblems.

A




1.21

Operation

The air bag system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.

If a severe frontal impact occurs, theair bag(s) deploy(s) rapidly, cushion-ing the impact of the driver’s head andchest against the steering wheel andthe front passenger’s head against thedashboard. The air bag then deflatesimmediately so that passengers are not

impeded in any way when they get outof the vehicle.

Operating faults

This warning light 2 å will light upon the instrument panel when the igni-tion is switched on and then go out aftera few seconds.

If it does not light up when the ignition isswitched on, or comes on continuouslywhen the engine is running, there is afault in the system.

Contact your approved Dealer as soonas possible. Your protection will be re-duced until this fault is rectified.

2




1.22

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is deployed and also to pre-vent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag deploys.

Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag

– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss. – Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.

– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss. – The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network). – When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting

your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger air bag

– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag. – Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, 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 occur. In

general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).

– The systems in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensurethe protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESSTHE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

(Refer to Section 1 “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag”).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTS



1.23

Force limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, thismechanism is used to limit the force ofthe belt against the body so that it is atan acceptable level.

– Have the entire restraintsystem checked followingan accident.

– No operation whatsoeveris permitted on any part of thesystem (air bags, electronic con-trol units, wiring) and the systemcomponents must not be reusedon any other vehicle, even if iden-tical.

– To avoid incorrect triggering ofthe system which may causeinjury, only qualified RENAULTNetwork personnel may workon the pretensioner and air bagsystem.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES



1.24

Side air bags

These air bags may be fitted to the frontseats and are deployed at the sides ofthe seats (door side) to protect the oc-cupants in the event of a severe sideimpact.

A marking on the seat informs you ofthe presence of this device.

Curtain air bags

These air bags may be fitted along thetop of each side of the vehicle and aretriggered along the front and rear sidewindows to protect passengers in theevent of a side impact.

A marking on the interior trim above theside windows informs you of the pres-ence of this device.

Warnings concerning the side air bag

– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require coversspecifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to findout if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those

designed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle)may affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.

– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, thedoor and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such asclothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctlyor cause injury when the air bag is deployed.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internalfittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

– The area between the rear bench seatback and the trim is the area of air bagoperation: no objects must be placed here.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT



1.25

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. The air bag and the seat belt are integral parts ofthe same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the oc-cupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor su-perficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.

If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and air bags are not always triggered.Impacts to the underside of the vehicle from pavements, holes, stones etc. can all trigger these systems.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the driver or passenger air bag system (air bags,pretensioners, electronic unit, wiring harness, 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, or is stolen orbroken into;

– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle;

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

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is deployed and also to pre-vent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag deploys.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)



1.26

Carrying children

Children, and adults, must be correctlyseated and strapped in for all journeys.The children being carried in your vehi-cle are your responsibility.

A child is not a miniature adult. Children

are at risk of specific injuries as theirmuscles and bones have not yet fin-ished growing. The seat belt alonewould not provide suitable protection.Use an approved child seat and ensureyou use it correctly.

To prevent the doors beingopened, use the “Childsafety” device (refer to theinformation on “Opening

and closing the doors” in Section 1).

A collision at 30 mph (50km/h) is the same as fall-ing a distance of 10 metres.Transporting a child without

a restraint is the equivalent of allow-ing him or her to play on a fourth-floor balcony without railings.Never travel with a child held in yourarms. In the event of an accident,

you will not be able to keep hold ofthe child, even if you yourself arewearing a seat belt.If your vehicle has been involved ina road accident, replace the childseat and have the seat belts andISOFIX anchorage points checked.

Driver’s responsibilitywhen parking or stoppingthe vehicle

Never leave an animal,child or adult who is not self-suffi-cient alone on your vehicle, even fora short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves

or to others by starting the engine,activating equipment such as theelectric windows or by locking thedoors.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,please remember that the tempera-ture inside the passenger compart-ment increases very quickly.

INJURY.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

1.27

Using a child seatThe level of protection offered by thechild seat depends on its ability to re-strain your child and on its installation.Incorrect installation compromises theprotection it offers the child in the eventof harsh braking or an impact.

Before purchasing a child seat, checkthat it complies with the regulations forthe country you are in and that it canbe fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-proved dealer to find out which seatsare recommended for your vehicle.

Before fitting a child seat, read themanual and respect its instructions. Ifyou experience any difficulties during

installation, contact the manufacturerof the equipment. Keep the instructionswith the seat.

Set a good example by always fas-tening your seat belt and teachingyour child: – to strap themselves in correctly; – to always get in and out of the car

at the kerb, away from busy traf-

fic.Do not use a second-hand childseat or one without an instructionmanual.

Check that there are no objects inthe vicinity of the child seat whichcould impede its operation.

Never leave a child unat-tended in the vehicle.Check that your child isalways strapped in and that

the belt or safety harness used iscorrectly set and adjusted. Avoidwearing bulky clothing which couldcause the belts to slacken.

Never let your child put their head orarms out of the window.

Check that the child is in the correctposition for the entire journey, espe-cially if asleep.

1.28

Rear-facing child seats

A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavierthan that of an adult and its neck is veryfragile. Transport the child in this posi-tion as long as possible (until the age of2 at the very least). It supports both thehead and the neck.Choose a bucket type seat for best sideprotection and change it as soon as thechild’s head is higher than the shell.

Forward-facing child seats

The child’s head and abdomen need tobe protected as a priority. A forward-fac-ing child seat which is firmly attached tothe vehicle will reduce the risk of impactto the head. Ensure your child travels ina forward-facing seat with a harness orbuckle for as long as their size permits.Choose a bucket type seat for optimumside protection.w

Booster cushions

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child cantravel using a booster seat, which willenable the seat belt to be adapted tosuit his size and shape. The boosterseat cushion must be fitted with guidesto position the seat belt on the child’sthighs rather than the stomach. It isrecommended that you use a seat-back which can be adjusted in termsof height to position the seat belt in the

centre of the shoulder. It must neverrest on the neck or on the arm.Choose a bucket type seat for optimumside protection.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (1/3)

Choosing the attachment Attachment using the ISOFIX



1.29

Choosing the attachment

There are two ways of attaching childseats: via the seat belt or using theISOFIX system.

Attachment via the seat belt

The seat belt must be adjusted toensure that it is effective in the event ofharsh braking or an impact.

Ensure that the strap paths indicatedby the child seat manufacturer are re-spected.

Always check that the seat belt is cor-rectly fastened by pulling it up, thenpulling it out fully whilst pressing on thechild seat.

Check that the seat is correctly held bymoving it from side to side and backto front: the seat should remain firmlyfixed.

Check that the child seat has not beeninstalled at an angle and that it is notresting against a window.

Attachment using the ISOFIX system

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-proved in accordance with regulationECE-R44 in one of the three followingcases: – ISOFIX universal 3-point forward-

facing seat – ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat – specific

For the latter two, check that your childseat can be installed by consulting thelist of compatible vehicles.

Attach the child seat with the ISOFIXlocks, if these are provided. The ISOFIXsystem allows quick, easy, safe fitting.

The ISOFIX system consists of 2 ringsand, in some cases, a third ring.

Before using an ISOFIXchild seat that you pur-

chased for another vehicle,check that its installation isauthorised. Consult the list of ve-hicles which can be fitted with theseat from the equipment manufac-turer.

The seat belt must neverbe twisted or the tensionrelieved. Never pass theshoulder strap under the

arm or behind the back.Check that the seat belt has notbeen damaged by sharp edges.If the seat belt does not operate nor-mally, it will not protect the child.Consult an approved dealer. Do notuse this seat until the seat belt hasbeen repaired.

Do not use the child seatif it may unfasten the seatbelt restraining it: the baseof the seat must not rest on

the buckle and/or catch of the seatbelt.

No modifications may bemade to the componentparts of the restraint system(seat belts, ISOFIX, seats

and their mountings) originally fitted.




1.30

The two rings 1 are located between

the seatback and the seat base of theseat or bench seat and are identified bya marking.

To ensure your child seat can be easilyfitted and locked on rings 1, use accessguides 2 on the child seat.

The ISOFIX anchoragepoints have been exclu-sively designed for childseats with the ISOFIX

system. Never fit a different type ofchild seat, seat belt or other objectsto these anchorage points.

Check that nothing is obstructingthe anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved ina road accident, have the ISOFIXanchorage points checked and re-place your child seat.

1.31

The third ring is used to attach the

upper strap on some child seats.Fit the hook of the strap onto ring 3 (forthe rear seats) or 4 (for the front seats)and pull the strap.

Do not change the position of the seatto which the child/baby seat is fittedafter pulling the strap.

RISK OF DEATH ORSERIOUS INJURY: beforeinstalling a child seat in thefront passenger seat, make

sure the air bag has been deacti-vated (refer to the information on“Child safety: deactivating/activat-ing the front passenger air bag” in

Section 1).Forward facing harness seats areonly permitted if they are installedusing an ISOFIX fitting and withouta seat belt.

turer that it can be fitted.

Fit the child seat in a rearseat wherever possible.

Check that when installing

the child seat in the vehicleit is not at risk of coming loose fromits base.

If you have to remove the headrest,check that it is correctly stored sothat it does not come loose underharsh braking or impact.

Always attach the child seat to thevehicle even if it is not in use so that

it does not come loose under harshbraking or impact.

The laws concerning children travel-ling in this seat differ in every coun-try. Consult the legislation in force andfollow the indications on the diagram onthe following page.Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if

authorised): – lower the seat belt as far as possible; – move the seat as far back as possi-

ble; – gently tilt the seatback away from

vertical (approximately 25°).Do not change these settings after thechild seat is installed.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: beforeinstalling a child seat in thefront passenger seat, make

sure the air bag has been deacti-vated (refer to the information on“Child safety: deactivating/activat-ing the front passenger air bag” insection 1).

Forward facing harness seats are

only permitted if they are installedusing an ISOFIX fitting and withouta seat belt.

A carrycot can be installed across thevehicle and will take up at least twoseats. Position the child with his or herfeet nearest the door.

Before installing a child seat, it is rec-ommended that the rear seat be as farback as possible, ensuring, if required,that the floor support of the child seat isresting on the floor in accordance withthe child seat instructions.

Move the front seat as far forward aspossible to install a child seat, thenmove back the seat or seats in front asfar as possible without coming into con-tact with the child seat.

For the safety of the child in the for-ward-facing seat, do not move the seatin front back past the middle of therunner, do not tilt the seatback too far(maximum of 25°) and move the seatbackwards as far as possible.

Check that the forward-facing child seatis resting against the back of the vehi-cle seat and that the headrest of the ve-

hicle is not obstructing its use.

CHILD SAFETY: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag (1/2)



1.36

Deactivating the front

passenger airbags(on equipped vehicles)

In order to fit a child seat to the frontpassenger seat when this is allowed,you must deactivate the front passen-ger seat additional restraint devices(side airbags (depending on vehicle),front airbags, etc.).

To deactivate the restraint devices

supplementary to the front passen-ger seat belt: switch off the ignition,press and turn lock 1 to the OFF posi-tion. The airbag is deactivated.

With the ignition on, it is essential tocheck that warning light 2 is lit on theinstrument panel.

This warning light remains lit to con-firm that you can fit a child seat, asthe passenger air bag has been de-activated.

DANGER

Since front passenger airbag triggering and the po-sition of a rear-facing child

seat are incompatible, it is not per-mitted to fit such a seat in this posi-tion unless the vehicle is fitted with anair bag deactivation device. The childmay suffer very serious injuries if theair bag inflates.

The markings on the dashboard andon each side of passenger sun blind 3 remind you of these instructions.

Mileage before serviceDistance remaining until the next oil change.

There are several scenarios: – distance less than 900 miles (1,500 km). It appears on the display for approxi-

mately 8 seconds when the ignition is switched on as soon as the distance isless than or equal to 900 miles (1,500 km).

– distance less than 0 miles/km. The© indicator light will light up on theinstrument panel.

The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.

NB: depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies according to the driving style (frequent driving at lowspeed, door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing a trailer etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil changecan therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance travelled.

The oil change intervals are independent of the vehicle’s maintenance schedule: please refer to your vehicle’s MaintenanceService Booklet.

Resetting: to reset the mileage before an oil change, press and hold one of the display reset buttons for approximately 10 sec-onds until the display shows the mileage permanently.

Adjusting the steering wheel

Depending on the vehicle, the steeringwheel position is adjustable.

Hold the steering wheel with one hand,lift lever 1 and position the steeringwheel as desired. Lower the lever tolock the steering wheel.

Make sure that the steering wheel iscorrectly locked.

For safety reasons, onlyadjust the steering wheelwhen the vehicle is station-ary.

Never leave the steering wheel onfull lock when the vehicle is station-ary.

With the engine switched off, or ifthere is a system fault, it is still pos-sible to turn the steering wheel. Theforce required will be greater.

Never switch off the igni-tion when travelling down-hill, and avoid doing so innormal driving (assistance

SPECIAL NOTES ON PETROL VERSIONSThe following operating conditions:

– driving for long periods when the lowfuel level warning light is lit;

– using leaded petrol;

If you notice any of the above operatingfaults, have the necessary repairs car-ried out as soon as possible by an ap-proved Dealer.

These faults may be avoided by regu

– using fuel or lubrication addit iveswhich are not approved.

Or operating faults such as:

– faulty ignition system, running out offuel or disconnected spark plugs re-sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-ting out when driving;

– loss of power,

may cause the catalytic converter tooverheat, reducing its efficiency whichmay irreparably damage it and cause

heat damage to the vehicle.

These faults may be avoided by regu-larly taking your vehicle to an approvedDealer at the intervals specified in theMaintenance Service Booklet.

Starting problems

To avoid damaging the catalytic con-verter, do not keep trying to start theengine (using the start button, or bypushing or towing the vehicle) withouthaving identified and corrected thestarting fault.

If the fault cannot be identified, do notkeep trying to start the engine, but con-tact an approved Dealer.

Do not park the vehicle orrun the engine in locationswhere combustible sub-

stances or materials suchas grass or leaves can come intocontact with the hot exhaust system.

hicle speed.Steering is made easier during parkingmanoeuvres (for added comfort) whilstthe force needed to steer increasesprogressively as the speed rises (forenhanced safety at high speeds).

Operating faults

The steering can become stiff whendriving. This is due to the power assist-

ance overheating. In this case, it mustbe allowed to cool down.During low speed manoeuvres with ahigh engine speed, the steering canbecome stiff. Power assistance returnswhen driving.

Never switch off the igni-tion when travelling down-hill, and avoid doing so innormal driving (assistance

is not provided).

An impact to the undersideof the vehicle (e.g.: strikinga post, raised kerb or otherstreet furniture) may result

in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de-formation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-proved dealer.

Advice on use

– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the

electrical components which arenot really needed. However (safetyfirst), keep your lights on when thevisibility is bad (“see and be seen”).

– Use the air vents. Driving with thewindows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)will increase fuel con-sumption by4%.

manual air conditioning, switch offthe system when it is not required.

Advice for reducing consumption

and therefore helping to preservethe environment:Drive with the air vents open and thewindows closed.

If the vehicle has been parked in thesun, open the doors for a few mo-ments to let the hot air escape beforestarting the engine.

– Never fill the fuel tank right to the

brim to avoid overflow. – Do not leave an empty roof rack

fitted to the vehicle.

– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky objects.

– Avoid using the vehicle for door-to-door calls (short journeys with

long waits in between) because theengine never reaches its normal op-erating temperature.

Tyres

– An under-inflated tyre increases fuelconsumption.

– The use of non-recommended tyrescan increase fuel consumption.

Under these circumstances, the vehi-cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle

whilst braking. In addition, this systemcan increase stopping distances, par-ticularly on roads with low surface grip(wet ground, etc.).

You will feel a pulsation through thebrake pedal each time the system isactivated. The ABS does not in any wayimprove the vehicle’s physical perform-ance relating to the road surface and

roadholding. It is still essential to followthe rules of good driving practice (suchas driving at a safe distance from thevehicle in front).

panel flashes when the function startsoperating. Operating principle

A sensor in the steering wheel detects

the direction selected by the driver.Other sensors throughout the vehiclemeasure the actual direction.

The system compares the direction se-lected by the driver and the actual di-rection of the vehicle and corrects thisas necessary by applying the brakesselectively and/or acting on the enginepower.

Understeer control

This system optimises the action of theESP in the case of pronounced unders-teering (loss of front axle road holding).

Operating principleUsing the wheel sensors, the systemmeasures and compares the speed of

the drive wheels at all times and slowsdown their over-rotation. If a wheel isstarting to slip, the system brakes au-tomatically until the drive supplied be-comes compatible with the level of gripunder the wheel again.

The system also adjusts the enginespeed to the grip available under thewheels, independently of the pressure

exerted on the accelerator pedal.

Driving

When a limited speed has been stored

and this speed is not reached, driving issimilar to driving a vehicle without thespeed limiter function.

Once you have reached the storedspeed, no effort on the accelera-tor pedal will allow you to exceedthe programmed speed except in anemergency (refer to information on“Exceeding the limit speed”).

Exceeding the limit speed

It is possible to exceed the limit speed

at any moment. To do this: depressthe accelerator pedal firmly and fully (beyond the kickdown point).

2.18

The cruise control function helps you tomaintain your driving speed at a speedthat you choose, called the cruisingspeed.

This cruising speed may be set at anyspeed above 20 mph (30 km/h).

The cruise control functionis in no way linked to thebraking system.

This function is an addi-tional driving aid. However,the function does not takethe place of the driver.

Therefore, it can under no circum-stances replace the driver’s respon-sibility to respect speed limits and to

be vigilant (the driver must alwaysbe ready to brake).

Cruise control must not be usedin heavy traffic, on winding or slip-pery roads (black ice, aquaplan-ing, gravel) and during bad weather(fog, rain, side winds etc.).

There is a risk of accidents.

push the selector lever forwards andrelease it (the number 1 will appear

on the display); – release the brake pedal and acceler-ate gently to move forwards.

Reverse

– With your foot on the brake pedal,push the selector lever towards theright and backwards, and then re-lease it.Reverse gear is engaged (letter R

appears on the display). – release the brake pedal then accel-

erate gently to move backwards. Theengine’s idle speed is sufficient forparking manoeuvres.

When the vehicle is stationary, pushthe selector lever towards the front toengage a forwards gear.

If a gear other than neutral (N) is dis-played, it will flash; starting is possi-

ble if you depress the brake pedal(indicator light 4 will come on if youforget) when holding the key in thestarting position.

The gear will automatically change toneutral (N) and the engine will start.

You may also select neutral afterswitching on the ignition by pushing thelever to the right whilst depressing the

brake pedal.When the engine is running, automaticmode will be selected by default.

Note: if the display does not light upwhen the ignition is switched on (dis-charged battery), do not attempt to startthe engine by pushing the vehicle.

Shifting to neutral

With the brake pedal depressed, push

the lever to the right.Note: when the vehicle is stationary,you must depress the brake pedal toengage or disengage a gear. Otherwise,warning light 4 will light up.

The oil level in the automatic gearbox system reservoir is variable depending on use. Adding oil is strictly forbidden(except by qualified approved network personnel).

Changing mode

You can change mode at any timeby pushing the lever to the left. Thisswitches mode without changing gear.

Driving in manual mode

By pushing the lever forwards twiceyou can move up two gears at a time(unless this causes low engine speeds).By pushing the lever backwards twiceyou can move down two gears at a time(unless this causes overrevving).

Note: neutral may only be selected


Driving in automatic mode

Each time the ignition is switched on,automatic mode is selected by default(letter A on the display).

The vehicle is controlled using the ac-celerator and the brake.



2.24

g

Using the selector lever

Pushing the lever repeatedly allowsyou to change gears manually:

– To change up a gear: push the leverforwards;

– to change down a gear: push thelever backwards;

– to change to neutral: with the brakepedal depressed (indicator light 4

will come on if you forget), push thelever towards the right.

Note: when the vehicle is stationary(braking, red light, etc.), the system au-tomatically switches to first gear.

Note: neutral may only be selectedwhen the vehicle is being driven or is

stationary when the brake pedal isdepressed (if you forget, warninglight 4 will light up).

Accelerating and overtaking

To obtain maximum vehicle perform-ance, in automatic or manual mode,quickly depress the accelerator pedalbeyond the kickdown point.

This will activate the kickdown func-tion allowing you to change down to themost suitable gear.

Gears will change automatically atthe correct moment and at a suitable

engine speed because automatic modetakes into consideration the road sur-face and the chosen driving style.

You may change the gear selectionmade by the automatic system (unlessthis risks the engine being overrevvedor underrevved):

– by pushing the lever forwards orbackwards.

You can stop the vehicle at red lights,with the gear engaged, by pressing thebrake pedal; there is no need to changeto neutral.

If the engine is being overrevved or underevved, the system will select the opti-mal gear.


Parking

To park the vehicle with a gear en-gaged (on a slope, for example): beforeswitching off the engine, check that agear other than N is displayed on theinstrument panel.

Audible warning

If you hold the vehicle on a slope fortoo long without applying the brakes orhandbrake you will strain the systemand there is a risk that the clutch willoverheat.



2.25

The next time the engine is started, de-press the brake pedal. The vehicle will

then automatically change to neutral(letter N on the display).

In this case, an intermittent beepingsound will remind you that you should

put your foot on the brake pedal orapply the handbrake.

Never leave the vehicle with the enginerunning when in gear. For safety rea-sons you will hear an intermittent beep-ing sound when you open the door ifyou have not shifted into neutral or youhave not switched off the ignition or de-pressed the brake pedal.

An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb

or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-mation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approvedDealer.


Towing the vehicle

If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:

– Switch on the ignition;

– select neutral with the brake pedaldepressed;

check that the gearbox is in neutral

decrease in temperature (the venti-lation system does not start instantlyat maximum speed: it gradually in-creases until the engine tempera-ture is sufficient, which may takefrom a few seconds to several min-utes).

Generally speaking, unless there isa particular reason not to, the dash-board air vents should remain open.

Air recirculation mode

Pressing button 14 activates air recir-culation (the symbol lights up on thedisplay).

During recirculation, air is taken fromthe passenger compartment and is re-cycled, with no air being taken from out-side the vehicle.

Air recirculation allows the external at-mosphere to be cut off (when driving inpolluted areas, etc.).

Prolonged use of this position may leadto odours, caused by non-renewal ofair, and the formation of condensation

on the windows.We therefore advise you to return tonormal mode (external air or automaticrecirculation) as soon as air recircula-tion is no longer needed, by pressingbutton 14.

A well-maintained vehicle will last forlonger. It is therefore recommended toregularly maintain the vehicle exterior.

Protection against the effectsof corrosive agents

Although your vehicle has been treatedwith very effective anti-corrosion prod-ucts, it nevertheless remains subject to

the effects of: – corrosives in the atmosphere

You should take a minimum number ofprecautions in order to safeguard yourvehicle against such risks and not tolose the benefit of your vehicle’s anti-corrosion protection.

What you should not do

– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight orfreezing temperatures.

– Scrape off mud or dir t withoutprewetting.

– Degrease or clean mechanical com-ponents (e.g. engine compartment),underneath the body, parts withhinges (e.g. fuel filler cap, inside offiller flap, sunroof, etc.) and paintedexternal plastic fittings (e.g. bump-ers) using high-pressure clean-ing equipment or using spray prod-ucts not approved by our TechnicalDepartment. If adequate precautions

are not taken, this could give rise tocorrosion or operational faults.

Tyre and wheel safetyThe tyres are the only contact betweenthe vehicle and the road, so it is essen-tial to keep them in good condition.

You must make sure that your tyresconform to local road traffic regulations.

When the tyre tread has been wornto the level of the warning strips, theybecome visible 2 : it is then neces-sary to replace your tyres because thetread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deepat most, resulting in poor road hold-ing on wet roads.

An overloaded vehicle, long journeysby motorway, particularly in very hotweather, or continual driving on poorly

surfaced minor roads will lead to morerapid tyre wear and affect safety.

Maintaining the tyres

The tyres must be in good conditionand the tread form must have sufficientdepth; tyres approved by our techni-

cal department have tread wear indica-tors 1 which are indicators mouldedinto the tread at several points.When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of thesame make, size, type andprofile should be used.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle shouldeither be identical to those fittedoriginally or conform to thoserecommended by your approved

dealer.

Incidents which occur whendriving, such as striking thekerb, may damage the tyresand wheel rims, and could

also lead to misalignment of the

front or rear axle geometry. In thiscase, have the condition of thesechecked by an approved dealer.

TYRES (2/3)

Tyre pressuresTyre pressures must be adhered to (in-cluding the emergency spare wheel).Pressures must be checked at leastonce a month and always before along journey (refer to the information on“Tyre pressures”).

Pressures should be checked when thetyres are cold; ignore higher pressureswhich may be reached in hot weatheror following a fast journey.

If tyre pressures cannot be checkedwhen the tyres are cold, the normalpressures must be increased by 0.2 to0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Note: a label (depending on country ormodel) fixed to the edge or frame of thedriver’s door gives the recommendedtyre pressures.

Fitting new tyres

For safety reasons, this op-eration must be carried outby a specialist.

Fitting different tyres maychange your vehicle as follows: – it may mean that your vehicle no

longer conforms to current regu-lations;

– it may change the way it handleswhen cornering;it th t i t bIncorrect tyre pressures

– it may cause the steering to beheavy;

– it may affect the use of snowchains.

Please be aware that amissing valve cap canmake the tyres less airtightand lead to pressure loss.

Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tightenthem fully.

Incorrect tyre pressures lead to abnormal tyre wearand unusually hot running.These are factors which

may seriously affect safety and leadto: – poor road holding;

– the risk of blow-outs or of throw-ing a tread.

Tyre pressures depend on the loadand the driving speed. Adjust thepressures according to the condi-tions of use. (Refer to the informa-tion on “Tyre pressures”).

TYRES (3/3)

– Snow or winter tyres

We would recommend that these befitted to all four wheels to ensurethat your vehicle retains maximumadhesion.

Note: we would point out that thesetyres may sometimes have:

– a specific direction of rotation

– a maximum speed index which

may be lower than the maximumspeed of your vehicle.

– Studded tyres

Use in winter – Chains

For safety reasons, fitting snowchains to the rear axle is strictlyforbidden.

Chains must not be fitted to tyreswhich are larger than those originallyfitted to the vehicle.



5.12

This type of equipment may only beused for a limited period and as laiddown by local legislation.

It is necessary to observe the speedspecified by current legislation.

These tyres must, at a minimum, befitted to the two front wheels.

Chains may only be fitted

to tyres of the same sizeas those originally fitted toyour vehicle.

In all cases, we would recommend

that you contact an approved Dealerwho will be able to advise you onthe choice of equipment which ismost suitable for your vehicle.

BATTERY: troubleshooting

To avoid all risk of sparks:

– Ensure that any consumers areswitched off before disconnecting orreconnecting the battery;

– When charging, stop the chargerbefore connecting or disconnectingthe battery.

– Do not place metal objects on thebattery to avoid creating a short cir-

cuit between the terminals.

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger should be com-tibl ith b tt ith i l

Only a fully charged and well-main-

tained battery will have a long anduseful service life and enable you tostart the vehicle’s engine normally.

The battery must be kept clean and dry.

Have the battery’s charge statuschecked regularly:

– especially if you use your vehicle forshort journeys or for frequent drivingin town;

– when the exterior temperature drops(in winter), the charge decreases.In winter, only use the electricalequipment that is really necessary;

When many accessories are fitted to

the vehicle, have them connected tothe + after ignition feed. In this case,it is advisable to have your vehiclefitted with a battery which has an in-creased nominal capacity. Contact anapproved Dealer. If your vehicle is tobe left stationary for a relatively longtime, disconnect the battery or have itrecharged regularly, particularly duringcold weather. The equipment with a

memory, radio, etc. will then have tobe reprogrammed. The battery mustbe stored in a cool dry place, protectedfrom frost.



5.26

patible with a battery with nominalvoltage of 12 Volts.

With the engine off, it is essential to dis-connect the leads connected to bothbattery terminals, starting with the

negative terminal.

Do not disconnect the battery when theengine is running. Follow the instruc-tions given by the manufacturer ofthe battery charger you are using.

– finally, you should understand thatthe charge decreases naturally as aresult of certain permanent electricalconsumers such as the clock, after-sales accessories, etc.

Special procedures may berequired to charge somebatteries. Contact an ap-proved Dealer.

Avoid all risk of sparks which maycause an immediate explosion, andcharge the battery in a well-venti-lated area. Risk of serious injury.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)

Starting the vehicle using the

battery from another vehicleProceed as follows when starting yourvehicle from another vehicle’s battery:

Obtain suitable jump leads (large) froman approved Dealer or, if you alreadyhave jump leads, ensure that they arein perfect condition.

The two batteries must have an iden-

tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. Thebattery supplying the current shouldhave a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) whichis at least the same as that of the dis-charged battery.

Handle the battery with careas it contains sulphuric acid,

Check that there is no con-tact between leads A and B and that the positive lead A is not touching any metal

parts on the vehicle supplying thecurrent.

Risk of injury and/or damage to thevehicle.



5.27

Ensure that there is no risk of contactbetween the two vehicles (risk of shortcircuiting when the positive terminalsare connected) and that the dischargedbattery is properly connected. Switch

off your vehicle ignition.

Start the engine of the vehicle supply-ing the current and run it at an interme-diate engine speed.

Attach positive lead (+) A to the + termi-nal 1 of the discharged battery, then tothe + terminal 2 of the battery supplyingthe current.

Attach negative lead ( –)B

to the – ter-minal 4 of the battery supplying the cur-rent, then to the – terminal 3 of the dis-charged battery. As soon as it is running, disconnectleads A and B in the reverse order(4 - 3 - 2 - 1).Start the engine as you would normally.

which must not come intocontact with eyes or skin. If

it does, wash the affected area withplenty of cold water. If necessary,consult a doctor.

Ensure that naked flames, red hotobjects and sparks do not come intocontact with the battery as there is arisk of explosion.

The engine may be hot when car-rying out operations in close prox-imity. In addition, the engine coolingfan can come on at any moment.

Risk of injury.

permitted: – the Maximum permissible weight at the rear may be exceeded by no more than 15%, – the maximum permissible all-up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever occurs first).

In either case, the maximum speed of the towing assembly must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure mustbe increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).

– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.

Original parts are based on strict specifications and are subject to highly-specialised tests. Therefore, they are of at least the samelevel of quality as the parts fitted originally.

If you always fit genuine replacement parts to your vehicle, you will ensure that it performs well. Furthermore, repairs carried outwithin the manufacturer’s Network using original parts are guaranteed according to the conditions set out on the reverse of therepair order.
