We would advise you not to reclinethe seatbacks too far to ensure thatthe effectiveness of the seat belts is

not reduced.Nothing should be placed on thefloor (area in front of driver) as suchobjects may slide under the pedalduring braking manoeuvres, thusobstructing its use.

SEAT BELTS (1/4)



1.16

( )

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 yourdriving position, then ask all pas-sengers to adjust their seat belts toensure optimum 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 seatshould be as far back as possiblewhile still allowing you to depressthe clutch pedal fully. The seatbackshould be adjusted so that your armsare slightly bent when you hold thesteering wheel;

– adjust the position of your head-

rest. For safety reasons, the top ofthe headrest must be level with thetop of the head;

– adjust the height of the seat. Thisadjustment allows you to select theseat position which offers you thebest possible view;

– adjust the position of the steeringwheel.

Refer to the information on the“Steering wheel” in Section 1.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against theseatback.

Shoulder strap 1 should be as close aspossible to the base of the neck but noton it.

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

The belt should be worn so that it is

as close as possible to your body, i.e.:avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

Incorrectly adjusted ortwisted seat belts maycause injuries in the eventof an accident.

Use one seat belt per person,whether child or adult.

Even pregnant women should weara seat belt. In this case, ensure that

the lap belt is not exerting too muchpressure on the abdomen, but donot allow any slack.

SEAT BELTS (4/4)



1.19

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: belts, seats and theirmountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.

– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too

loosely 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, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.

– 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.

– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

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



1.20

These are:

– pretensioners,

– chest and lap belt force limiters,

– air bags for driver and front pas-senger.

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 lap belt pretensioner to keepthe occupant in their seat, the lowvolume front air bag and the force

limiter; – the large volume air bag.

Pretensioners

With the ignition switched on, if the ve-hicle is subjected to a significant frontalimpact the system may, depending onthe severity of impact, trigger piston 1 which instantly retracts the belt.

The pretensioners flatten the beltagainst the body, holding the occupantagainst the seat, thus improving the ef-ficiency of the belt.

1

– 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.




1.21

Chest-level and lap belt loadlimiters

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, depending on the ve-hicle, a label on the lower part of thewindscreen.

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;

– an electronic unit for system monitor-ing which controls the gas generatorelectrical trigger system;

– a single å warning light on theinstrument panel.

– remote sensors.

A

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.




1.22

Operation

This system is only operational whenthe ignition is switched on.

In a severe frontal impact, the air bagsinflate rapidly, cushioning the impactof the driver’s head and chest against

the steering wheel and of the front pas-senger against the dashboard. The airbags then deflate immediately so thatthe passengers are not in any way hin-dered from leaving the vehicle.

Special feature of the front air

bagThere are two volumes of operation de-pending on the severity of the impact:

– low volume air bag, this is the firststage of operation;

– large volume air bag, the straps aretorn in order to allow the air bag to in-flate to a higher volume (in the event

1.23

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

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

– The devices 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 CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THEADDITIONAL 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



1.24

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 following

an accident. – No operation whatsoever

is 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.

– Only qual ified personnel from

our Network may work on the airbags; otherwise the system maytrigger accidentally and causeinjury.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES



1.25

Side air bags

This air bag may be fitted to each of thefront seats and is activated at the sidesof the seats (door side) to protect theoccupants in the event of a severe sideimpact.

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 the passengers inthe event of a severe side impact.

These air bags operatethrough slits in the frontseatbacks (door side):never insert any objects in

these slits.

Depending on the vehicle, a mark-ing on the windscreen informs youof the presence of additional meansof restraint (air bags, pretensioners,etc.) in the passenger compartment.

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 (including those designed for another vehicle) mayaffect 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.

1.26

All the warnings below are given so that air bag activation is not obstructed in any way and also to prevent the risk ofserious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts ofthe same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts 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.Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air bag system (air bags, pretensioners, compu-ter, wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,only qualified 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 approved dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)

Before fitting a child seat read the



1.27

Using a child seat

The 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.

Carrying childrenChildren - 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. Childrenare 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.

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.

Before fitting a child seat, read themanual and follow its instructions. Ifyou experience any difficulties duringinstallation, contact the manufacturerof the equipment. Keep the instructionswith the seat.

For vehicles fitted with a TRIPTIC rear

bench seat, configuring it as a 2-seaterbench seat with the large section of theseatback folded down prevents the re-maining place being used for fittingchild seats using the vehicle seat belt,as it is not possible to fasten it (seat beltbuckle inaccessible)

Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle

Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone onyour vehicle, even for a short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating

equipment such as the electric windows or by locking the doors. Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature insidethe passenger compartment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)



1.28

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.

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

and closing the doors” in Section 1).

A co ll is ion at 30 mph(50 km/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.

CHILD SAFETY: Choosing a child seat



1.29

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.

The are two ways of attaching child

CHILD SAFETY: Choosing a child seat mounting

Attachment with the ISOFIX system



1.30

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

Attachment via the seat beltThe 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 firmly

fixed.

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.

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 not

been 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.

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

and their mountings) originally fitted.

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

facing seat

– ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat – specificFor 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 with the equipment manufac-turer.

Triptic rear bench seatIf the rear bench seat isin the two-seater positionwith the large section of the

seatback folded down, this prevents

the remaining seat being used forthe installation of a child seat usingthe vehicle seat belt, as it is not pos-sible to fasten the seat belt (seatbelt buckle not accessible).

CHILD SAFETY: Choosing a child seat mounting (continued)



1.31

The two rings 1 are located between

the seatback and the seat base of theseat and are identified by a 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 fittings.

Check that nothing is obstructingthe anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved ina road accident, have the ISOFIXfittings checked and replace yourchild seat.

The 3rd ring is used to attach the upper

belt on some child seats.Depending on the vehicle, to attach thechild seat belt 3:

– open the ring cover 5 ,

– attach the hook 4 to the ring 5 lo-cated on the roof rear cross member

and marked by ±,

– close the cover and tighten the belt.

Do not change the position of the benchseat (if sliding) after tensioning the belt.

gchild seats. The diagrams on the fol-lowing pages show you how to attacha child seat.

The types of child seats indicated maynot be available. Before using a differ-ent child seat, check with the manufac-

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 the front passenger seat differ inevery country. Consult the legislation inforce and follow the indications on thediagrams on the following pages.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°); – on equipped vehicles, raise the seat

base as far as possible.Do not change these settings after thechild seat is installed.

RISK OF DEATH ORSERIOUS INJURY: before

fitting a rear-facing childseat in this seat, checkthat the air bag has been deacti-vated (refer to the information on“Deactivating the front passengerair bags” in Section 1).

Carrycots can only be fitted in the3-seater position and will take up atleast two seats. Position the child withhis or her feet nearest the door.Push the vehicle seat fully forwardsto install a rear-facing child seat, then

push it back as far as possible with-out allowing it to make contact with thechild seat. For the safety of the child inthe forward-facing seat, do not movethe seat in front back past the middle ofthe runner, do not tilt the seatback toofar (maximum of 25°) and raise the seatas much as possible. Always move the (sliding) bench seatback as far as possible. The floor sup-

port of the child seat should rest of thefloor in accordance with the child seatinstructions. A booster cushion may befitted on the TRIPTIC bench seat, usingthe ISOFIX locks and the seat belt, inthe 2-seater position only.

It is essential to use unleaded petrol orfuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-anol (E85).

To make it easier to start the engine invery cold conditions, it is recommendedto use unleaded petrol or, on equippedvehicles, to use the heater integrated in

the engine.In this case, connect the special end ofthe extension piece supplied into thesocket integrated into the radiator grilleand the other end into a 220V socketfor at least 6 hours before starting.

Note: when using ethanol-based fuel,you may notice over-consumption.

loss of warranty.

To ensure the fuel tank is not filledwith leaded petrol, the fuel tank fillerneck contains a restrictor fitted with afoolproof system which only allowsthe nozzle for unleaded petrol to beused (at the pump):

– Insert the nozzle so that the valveis pushed back and fully insert itbefore beginning to fill the fuel tank,(risk of splash-back);

– Keep the nozzle in this posi tion

throughout the entire filling opera-tion.

Petrol and diesel versions

When the pump cuts out automaticallyat the end of the filling procedure, amaximum of two further filling attemptsmay be made, as there must be suffi-cient space in the fuel tank to allow forexpansion.

– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-fic conditions allow and switch offthe ignition;

– switch on the hazard warninglights and ask your passengersto leave the vehicle and to keepaway from traffic;

– contact an approved Dealer.

components with parts other than thoseoriginally recommended by the manu-

facturer may alter your vehicle so thatit no longer complies with antipollutionregulations.

Have your vehicle adjusted andchecked by an approved dealer, in ac-cordance with the instructions given inyour maintenance schedule: they willhave all the equipment necessary forensuring that your vehicle is maintainedto its original standard..

the specifications laid down by ourDesign Department must be strictlyapplied.

If the spark plugs have to bechanged, use the make, type andgap specified for your vehicle’sengine. Contact an approved dealerfor this.

– idling speed: this does not requireadjustment.

– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged el-

ement hinders performance. It mustbe replaced.


– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drivewith a light right foot.

– Brake as little as possible. If you an-ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-vance, you may then simply releasethe accelerator pedal.

– Do not try to maintain the same

– Double declutching and acceleratingbefore switching off are unnecessaryin modern vehicles.

– Bad weather, flooded roads

Do not drive through floodsif the water is above thelower edge of the wheel

If this system malfunctions, toxic substances may be released into the at-mosphere or damage may occur.

Ä This warning light on the in-strument panel will indicate if

there are any faults in the system:This lights up when the ignition isswitched on and goes out when theengine is started.

– If it lights up continuously, consult anapproved Dealer as soon as possi-ble;

– if it flashes, reduce the engine speeduntil the light stops flashing. Contactyour approved dealer as soon aspossible.

Driving – Drive carefully for the first few miles

until the engine reaches its normaloperating temperature, rather thanlet it warm up while the vehicle is sta-tionary.

– Speed is expensive. – Do not overrev the engine in the in-

termediate gears. Always use the highest gear possi-ble without labouring the engine.On versions with an automatic gear-box, it is preferable to keep the gearlever in position D.

– Avoid sudden acceleration.

Obstructions to the driver On the driver’s side, onlyuse mats adapted to the ve-hicle that attach to the pre-

installed parts, and regularly check

their mounting. Do not place severalmats on top of each other.Risk of pedals jamming


– In vehicles fitted with air condi-tioning, it is normal to observe anincrease in fuel consumption (es-pecially in urban conditions) whenit is used. For vehicles fitted withmanual air conditioning, switch offthe system when it is not required.



2.12

– Avoid using the vehicle for door-to-door calls (short journeys withlong waits in between) because the

engine never reaches its normal op-erating temperature.

Tyres

– An under-inflated tyre increases fuelconsumption.

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

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 consumption by4%.

Advice for reducing consumption

and therefore helping to preservethe environment:

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 thebrim to avoid overflow.

– Do not leave an empty roof rack

fitted to the vehicle. – It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-

jects.

– When towing a caravan, fit a winddeflector and adjust it carefully.

ENVIRONMENT

Emissions

Your vehicle has been designed to emitfewer greenhouse gases (CO2) while inuse, and therefore to consume less fuel(eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to 5.3 l/100km for a diesel vehicle).

– At the end of the vehicle’s servicelife, it should be sent to approvedcentres to ensure that it is recycled.

– In all cases, comply with local legis-lation.

R li

Your vehicle has been designed withrespect for the environment in mind forits entire service life: during production,use and at the end of its life.This commitment is illustrated by theRenault eco² signature.



2.13

Our vehicles are also equipped with aparticle filter system including a cata-

lytic converter, an oxygen sensor andan active carbon filter (the latter pre-vents vapour from the fuel tank beingreleased into the open air).

For certain diesel vehicles, this systemalso has a particle filter to reduce thevolume of soot particles emitted.

Please make your owncontribution towardsprotecting the environmenttoo

– Worn parts replaced in the course ofroutine vehicle maintenance (vehi-cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty orfilled with used oil) must be disposedof through specialist organisations.

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and95% recoverable.

To achieve these objectives, many ofthe vehicle components have been de-signed to enable them to be recycled.The materials and structures havebeen carefully designed to allow thesecomponents to be easily removed andreprocessed 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 (vegetableor animal-derived materials such ascotton or wool).

Manufacture

Your vehicle has been manufactured atan factory which uses a progress policyto reduce the environmental impact onthe surrounding area and nature (re-duction of water and energy consump-tion, visual and noise pollution, atmos-pheric emissions and waste water,sorting and reusing waste).

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS

Under heavy braking, the ABS preventsthe wheels from locking, allowing thestopping distance to be managed andkeeping control of the vehicle.

Under these circumstances, the vehi-cle can be steered to avoid an obstaclewhilst braking. In addition, this system

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 androadholding. It is still essential to followthe rules of good driving practice (suchas driving at a safe distance from the

vehicle in front).

If warning lightsx,D,©,

®and the message “brakingfault” are lit on the instrument panel,

this indicates a fault with the brakingsystem and ABS.

In an emergency, apply firm and

continuous pressure to the brakepedal. There is no need to pumpit repeatedly. The ABS will modu-late the force applied in the brakingsystem.

Your braking systemsare partially operational.However, it is dangerousto brake suddenly and

it is essential to stop immediately,

as soon as traffic conditions allow.Contact an approved dealer.

This system helps to keep control ofthe vehicle in critical driving situa-tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of gripwhen cornering, etc.) and works in con- junction with the understeer control system.

When the ESP function starts operat-ing, warning light A flashes to warn you.

If the warning light comes on accompa-nied by the “traction control deselected”message when the engine is started,slowly turn the steering wheel from lockto lock to reinitialise the system.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP (1/2)

A



2.15

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.

However, the function does not takethe place of the driver. It does notincrease the vehicle’s limits andshould not encourage you todrive more quickly.

Therefore, it can under no circum-stances replace the vigilance or re-sponsibility of the driver when ma-noeuvring the vehicle (the drivermust always be ready for sudden in-cidents which may occur when driv-ing).

2.20

The speed limiter function helps youstay within the driving speed limit thatyou choose, known as the limit speed.

This may be useful, for example, drivingin urban areas or areas with a speed re-striction (roadworks), etc.

The system operates from a drivingspeed of about 18 mph (30 km/h).

When the function is activated, the mes-sage “Limiter” appears on the instru-ment panel accompanied by dashes.


Varying the limit speed

You can vary the limit speed by press-ing switch 2 repeatedly to increase thespeed or switch 3 (-) to decrease it.

Exceeding the limit speed2 53 4



2.21

DrivingWhen a limit speed has been stored,if this speed is not reached the vehicle

behaves in a similar way to a vehiclewithout the speed 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”).

In the event of an emergency

It is possible to exceed the limit speedat any moment. To do this: press theaccelerator pedal firmly and fully (beyond the kickdown point).Whilst the speed is being exceeded,the cruising speed displayed on the in-strument panel flashes.When the emergency has passed, re-lease the accelerator pedal: the speedlimiter function will return as soon as

you reach a speed lower than the limitspeed before the emergency.

The system is designed in such away that it is possible to detect a dif-ference between the programmedspeed and the speed shown on theinstrument panel.

5 Cruising speed storage and recallswitch (R).

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

speed.This cruising speed may be set at anyspeed above 18 mph (30 km/h).

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

1 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 tobe vigilant (the driver must always

be 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.


Driving

Once a cruising speed is stored andthe cruise control function is active,you may lift your foot off the accelera-tor pedal.

2.24

Switching on

Press switch 1 on the side showing

Ï.

The corresponding warning light on theinstrument panel comes on to indicatethat the cruise control function is in op-eration.

When the function is activated, themessage “Cruise control” appears onthe instrument panel accompanied bydashes.

Activating cruise control

At a steady speed (above 20 mph (30km/h)), press switch 2 (+) or 3 (-): thefunction is activated and the speed isstored.

When the cruise control function is ac-

tivated, theŒ indicator light on theinstrument panel is surrounded by aborder.

Important: you are never-theless advised to keepyour feet close to the pedalsin order to react if neces-

sary.

The system is designed in such away that it is possible to detect a dif-ference between the programmedspeed and the speed shown on theinstrument panel.

Exceeding the cruising speed

In the event of an emergency

The cruising speed may be exceededat any time by depressing the accelera-tor pedal. Whilst the speed is being ex-ceeded, the cruising speed displayedon the instrument panel flashes.

p

Then, release the accelerator: the ve-hicle will automatically return to its setcruising speed.

Unable to maintain the speedselected

In some driving conditions (for examplewhen driving up or down a steep gra-dient), the system is unable to main-tain the set speed: the speed on the in-

strument panel information display willflash to inform you of this situation.

Adjusting the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be changed bypressing repeatedly or continuously on:

– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed,

– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.

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


Recalling the cruising speed

If a speed has been stored, it is possi-ble to recall it by pressing switch 5 (R)(the “Cruise control” message appearson the instrument panel) on conditionthat you are driving faster than 18 mph(30 km/h) and that you are sure that thedriving conditions are suitable (traffic,

g ( ,road surface condition, weather condi-tions, etc.).

Note: if the speed previously stored ismuch higher than the current speed,the vehicle will accelerate more rapidlyto reach this threshold.

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is deacti-vated if you press switch 1: in this casea speed is no longer stored.

The instrument panel indicator lightgoes out, confirming that the function isstopped.

Putting the cruise control

on standby or switching itoff does not cause a rapidreduction in speed: you

must brake by depressing the brakepedal.

vehicle load and road contour and adjusts itself to the particular driving styleyou have chosen.

If the driver’s door is open or not prop-erly closed when the gear lever is inposition D and the vehicle is moving, abeep sounds.

Economical driving

When driving, leave the lever in posi-tion D, keeping the accelerator pedallightly depressed to ensure automaticgear changes at comparatively lowengine speeds.


Accelerating and overtaking

Depress the accelerator pedal firmlyand fully (so that it goes beyond thekickdown point).This will enable you to change downto the optimum gear within theengine range.

Driving in manual mode

With selector lever 1 in position D, pullthe lever to the left (changing gearusing the lever).

Changing gear using the lever

Shifting the lever repeatedly allows youto change gears manually:



2.28

Special cases

In certain driving conditions (e.g.:engine protection, operation of the

electronic stability program: ESP), theautomated system may change thegear automatically.

Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-vres, a gear change may be refused bythe automatic system: in this case thegear display flashes for a few secondsas a warning.

Once these special driving con-ditions no longer apply, exit thisfunction by pressing switch 4 again. Operating tell-tale light 5 goes out.

– If the bends and road surface donot allow you to stay in automaticmode (eg. in the mountains), we rec-

ommend that you change to manualmode.

This will prevent the automatic gear-box from changing gear repeatedlywhen climbing, and permit enginebraking on long descents.

– In cold weather, start the engineand wait a few seconds beforemoving the selector lever from posi-

tion P or N and engaging it in D or R to prevent the engine stalling..

When the vehicle is stopped, move thelever to position P while keeping yourfoot on the brake pedal: the gearbox isin neutral and the drive wheels are me-chanically locked by the driveshaft.

Apply the handbrake.

An impact to the undersideof the vehicle while revers-ing (e.g.: striking a post,raised kerb or other street

furniture) may result in damage tothe vehicle (e.g.: deformation of therear axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-proved Dealer.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the vehi-cle’s rear bumper, measure the dis-tance between the vehicle and an ob-stacle when reversing.This measurement is indicated bybeeps which become more frequent thecloser you come to the obstacle, untilthey become a continuous beep when



2.36

y p

the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-metres from the obstacle.There is a beep when changing to re-verse gear.

Note: make sure that the ultrasonicsensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,snow, etc.).

This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between thevehicle 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 pay attention to sudden incidents during driving: alwaysensure 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 whenmanoeuvring.

Temporary deactivation ofthe system

Press switch 1 to deactivate the system.

The indicator light built into the switchlights up to remind you that the systemis deactivated.

Pressing the switch again will reacti-vate the system and switch off the in-dicator light.

The system is automatically reactivatedafter the ignition is switched off and the

engine restarted.

Air recirculation operation(isolation of the passengercompartment)

Turn control D towards the symbolâ for air recirculation: air is takenfrom the passenger compartment andis recycled, with no air being taken fromoutside the vehicle.

Air recirculation is for:

– isolating the vehicle from the exter-nal atmosphere (driving in pollutedareas, etc.);

– bringing the passenger compartmentto the desired temperature as quicklyas possible.

Prolonged use of this position canlead to condensation forming on theside windows and windscreen andproblems due to the use of non-re-newed air in the passenger com-partment.

Air recirculation mode

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

display).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 condensationon 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 .

The vehicle must be parked on levelground and the engine should be cold(for instance, before the engine is

started up for the first time in the day).

Engine oil grade

Refer to the Maintenance ServiceBooklet for your vehicle for informationregarding which grade of oil to use.

– Unscrew cap 1;

– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-pacity between the minimum andmaximum reading on the dipstick 2

is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depend-ing on the engine);

– wait for approximately 10 minutes toallow the oil to flow into the engine;

– check the level using the dipstick 2 (as described above).

Once the operation has been com-pleted, ensure that the dipstick ispushed in as far as it will go or that the

cap is completely screwed in.

Coolant

With the engine switched off and onlevel ground, the level when cold must be between the “MIN” and “MAX”

marks on coolant reservoir 1.Top this level up when cold before the“MIN” mark is reached.

No operations should becarried out on the coolingcircuit when the engine is

hot.

Risk of burns.


When working in the enginecompartment, ensure thatthe windscreen wiper stalkis in the park position.

depending on the vehicle,you will have:

An emergency spare wheel or tyre in-flation kit (refer to the information on thefollowing pages).

If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it



5.2

checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.

Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than thefour other wheels:

– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.

– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with thesame dimensions as the original.

– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, thedriving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wheel.

– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-nering.

– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle

and check the tyre pressure.

Apply the handbrake and engage agear (first or reverse, or P for auto-matic transmissions).

Ask all the passengers to leave thevehicle and keep them away fromtraffic.

q pp jand wheelbrace

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.

– Unlock the wheel bolts using wheel-

brace 4 . Position it so as to be ableto push from above;

– crank up jack 1 by hand to positionthe jack head against jacking point 3 closest to the wheel concerned and,depending on the vehicle, marked byan arrow 2 . To prevent any risk of injury

or damage to the vehicle,only crank the jack until the

wheel you are replacing isa maximum of 3 centimetres off theground.

If the vehicle is not equipped with a jack or wheelbrace, you can obtainthese from your approved dealer.

Anti-theft bolt

If you use anti theft bolts fit these

– undo the bolts and take off the wheel;

– fit the emergency spare wheel on thecentral hub and turn it to align themounting holes in the wheel and thehub;

– tighten the bolts and lower the jack;

– with the wheel on the ground, tightenthe screws as fully as possible andcheck the tightness as soon as pos-sible (tightening torque 105 N.m).

CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)



5.12

If you use anti-theft bolts, fit thesenearest the valve (otherwise it maynot be possible to fit the wheel trim).

If you have a puncture, re-place the wheel as soon aspossible.

A tyre which has been punc-

tured should always be inspected(and repaired, where possible) by aspecialist.

If the vehicle is parked onthe hard shoulder, you mustwarn other road users ofyour vehicle’s presence

with a warning triangle or with otherdevices as per the legislation apply-ing to the country you are in.

TYRES (1/3)

Tyre and wheel safety

The 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.

Maintaining the tyres

When the tyre tread has been worn to

the level of the wear indicators, theybecome visible 2 : it is then necessaryto replace your tyres because the treadrubber is no more than 1.6 mm deep,resulting in poor roadholding on wetroads.

An overloaded vehicle, long journeysby motorway, particularly in very hotweather, or continual driving on poorlysurfaced minor roads will lead to more

rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

5.13

The tyres must be in good condition andhave sufficient depth to the tread. Tyresapproved by our Technical Departmenthave wear warning strips 1 in the formof raised strips moulded into thetread 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 approveddealer.

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

also lead to misalignment of thefront or rear axle geometry. In this

case, have the condition of thesechecked by an approved dealer.

TYRES (2/3)

Tyre pressures

Tyre pressures must be adhered to (re-member to check the emergency sparewheel at the same time). Inflation pres-sures must be checked at least once amonth and always before a long jour-ney (refer to the information on “Tyrepressures”.)

Pressures should be checked when the

tyres 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 or

model) fixed to the edge or frame of thedriver’s door gives the recommendedtyre pressures.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on the“Emergency spare wheel” and instruc-tions on “Changing a wheel” in Section5.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

Incorrect tyre pressures lead to abnormal tyre wearand unusually hot running.These are factors which For safety reasons, this op-

Fitting new tyres



5.14

These are factors whichmay seriously affect safety and leadto:

– poor road holding,

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

The pressure depends on the loadand the speed of use. Adjust thepressures according to the condi-tions of use (refer to the informationon “Tyre pressures”).

y , peration must be carried outby a specialist.

Fitting different tyres may

change 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 may cause the steering to beheavy;

– It may cause tyre noise;

– It may affect the use of snowchains.

Please be aware that apoorly tightened or miss-ing valve cap can make thetyres less airtight and lead

to pressure loss.

Always use valve caps identical tothose fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

TYRES (3/3)

Use in winter

– Chains

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

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

– Snow or winter tyres

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

NB: We would point out that thesetyres may sometimes have:

– a specific direction of rotation,

– a maximum speed index whichmay be lower than the maximumspeed of your vehicle.

– Studded tyres

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

In all cases, we would recommendthat you contact an approved dealerwho will be able to advise you on

To avoid all risk of sparks:

– Ensure that all electrical equipmentis switched off before disconnectingor reconnecting 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.

– Wait at least 20 seconds after switch-ing off the engine to disconnect thebattery.

– Make sure that you reconnect thebattery terminals after refitting. Access to the battery

Check that the two covers B and C arecorrectly locked.

Depending on the vehicle, repositionunit A, tilting it forwards, then clip it inplace by tilting it backwards. Check thatit is correctly locked.

Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must notcome into contact with eyes or skin. If it does, wash the affected area withplenty of cold water.

Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come intocontact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.

Take care when working in the engine compartment as the engine cooling fanmay start to operate at any moment without warning, which may cause seriousinjury.


Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger must be com-patible with a battery with nominalvoltage of 12 volts.

Switch the engine off and then discon-nect both battery leads starting withthe negative terminal.

Do not disconnect the battery when theengine is running. Follow the instruc-tions given by the manufacturer of

the battery charger you are using.Only a fully charged and well-main-tained battery will have a long anduseful life and enable you to start thevehicle’s engine normally.

The battery must be kept clean and dry.

– When the exterior temperature drops(in winter), the charge decreases.In winter, only use electrical equip-ment which is really necessary.

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

When many accessories are fitted tothe vehicle, have them connected to

the + after ignition feed. In this case, itis advisable to have your vehicle fittedwith a battery which has an increasednominal capacity. Contact your ap-proved dealer.

If your vehicle is to be left stationary fora relatively long time, disconnect thebattery or have it recharged regularly,particularly during cold weather. It willthen be necessary, with the engine run-ning, to move the steering wheel slowly,from lock to lock and to reprogram theelectronic equipment with a memoryfeature, radio, etc. The battery shouldbe stored in a cool and dry location pro-tected from frost.



5.26

Have the battery’s charge statuschecked regularly:

– Especially if you use your vehicle forshort journeys or for frequent drivingin town.

Special procedures may berequired to charge somebatteries. Contact your 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.


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. The

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

Ensure that there is no risk of contactbetween the two vehicles (risk of shortcircuiting when the positive terminals

* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)Towing is prohibited when the GTW - MAM calculation is equal to zero, or when the GTW is equal to zero (or is not listed) on theidentification plate. – It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in

the Road Traffic Regulations Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment



6.6

the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment. – When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded. However the following is

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 vehicle and trailer must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressures 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 by 10%at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.

Load transfer (except for utility versions)If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 300 kg can be transferred to the braked trailer, within

the limits of the Gross Train Weight.

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.
