Welcome to your new vehicle
This Driver’s Handbook contains the information necessary:
– for you to familiarise yourself with your vehicle, to use it to its best advantage and to benefit fully from the all the functions and
the technical developments it incorporates.
– to ensure that it always gives the best performance by following the simple, but comprehensive advice concerning regular main-
tenance.
– to enable you to deal quickly with minor faults not requiring specialist attention.
It is well worth taking a few minutes to read this handbook to familiarise yourself with the information and guidelines it contains
about the vehicle and its functions and new features. If certain points are still unclear, our Network technicians will be only too
pleased to provide you with any additional information.
The following symbol will help you when reading this handbook:
To indicate a hazard, danger or safety recommendation.
The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the technical specifications at the time of writing. This handbook covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the country where the vehicle is sold.
This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to be introduced later in the model year.
Throughout the manual, the “approved Dealer” is your RENAULT Dealer.
Enjoy driving your new vehicle.

Flat position
Depending on the vehicle, the seatback
on the passenger side may be folded
down onto the seat base to create a flat
position.
– Hold handle 4 and move the seat as
far back as possible;
– lower the headrest fully;
– hold the top of the seatback to lower
it;
– pull lever 2 and pull the seatback

– tilt headrest 5 so as to position it
under the dashboard.
The seat locks automatically; make
sure it is correctly locked.
Maximum weight on the seat in the
flat position: 80 kg, with the weight
evenly distributed.
Be sure to hold the seatback when placing it in the
flat position. Risk of injury.
Repositioning the seat
Make sure that nothing prevents the
seat from moving.
– Pull lever 2 and lift the seatback, en-
suring it is correctly locked;
– reposition the seat base, placing
your hand on the front of the seat
base.
When the rear bench seat is folded
down, move the front seats carefully.
Put your hand on the front
of the seat base when repositioning it. Risk of trapping.

Operating faults
(depending on vehicle)
If the sliding side door does not work,
lower handle 6, hold it while the seatback tilts and slide the seat forwards.
To place the seat into the comfort position, slide it rearwards.
Adjust the seat and make sure that it is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
To avoid all risk of injury,
ensure that nobody is in
the proximity of the moving
parts. When moving the
seat, make sure that nothing interferes with the moving parts and their
locking.

Note: when driving with the roof flap
open, you may hear air noises. To
reduce these, open one of the side windows slightly.

3
To open:
– Unlock the control 2, the roof flap
lifts automatically (ensure that nothing stops the flap from opening. In
this case, use the handle 1 to guide
it open);
– when the roof flap is open, it must
be locked by pushing it towards the
front of the vehicle until the control 2
locks.
Important: It is prohibited to drive with
the roof flap open and unlocked.
1.20
Transverse bar
When loading bulky objects, the transverse bar may be moved:
– Press the handle 3;
– lift the bar all the way to the door
pillar;
– lock the bar after loading.
Driving with the roof flap
open may be unpleasant
for passengers because
exhaust gas may enter the
passenger compartment. This use
is solely for short distances, whilst
transporting bulky objects without having to open the rear doors.
In this case, close the other windows and operate the ventilation
system at the half or fully open
setting, as this will help to prevent
exhaust gas from entering the passenger compartment.
ROOF FLAP (2/2)
1 2
To close:
– Unlock the control 2, the roof flap au-
tomatically opens halfway;
– pull the handle 1 and lock the roof
flap in the closed position.
Before starting, always reposition
the transverse bar and ensure it is
correctly locked.
The rear hinged doors can only be
closed with the bar locked.

SEAT BELTS (1/4)
Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that
the rear seat belts will operate efficiently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.
Seat belts which are incorrectly adjusted or twisted
may cause injuries in the
event of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driving position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belt to ensure optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head-
rest. For the maximum safety, your
head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.

seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not

thighs and against the pelvis.
The seat belt should be worn so that
it is as close as possible to your body,

keeping bulky objects under the belts,
etc.
