1

Use

On equipped vehicles, in addition to
the functions of the remote control
RENAULT card, it can be used to lock
and unlock without using the RENAULT
card, when it is in access zone 1.

Note: ensure that the RENAULT card
is not in contact with other electronic
equipment (computer, PDA, phone,
etc.) as this could hinder its operation.

3

place your hand on a door handle 2: the
vehicle will unlock (in some cases, you
may need to pull door handle 2 twice to
unlock the vehicle and open the door).

Pressing the button 3 also unlocks all
the doors and the tailgate.

The hazard warning lights flash once
to indicate that the doors have been un­locked.

1.5

RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: use (2/3)

Locking the vehicle

There are three ways to lock the vehi­cle: remotely, using button 4, or using
the RENAULT card.

Remote locking

With the RENAULT card on you, and
doors and tailgate closed, move away
from the vehicle: it will lock automati­cally once you have left zone 1.

Note: the distance at which the vehicle
locks depends on the surroundings.

The hazard warning lights flash twice
and a beep sounds to indicate that the
doors have locked.

The beep may be switched off. Consult
an approved Dealer.

If a door or the tailgate is open or not
properly closed, or a card is in the
passenger compartment (or the card
reader) the vehicle will not lock. In this
situation, no beep sounds and the

hazard warning lights do not flash.

Locking using button 4

If you want to lock your vehicle, the
card must be nearby (garage adjacent
etc.), with the door and tailgate closed,
press button 4 on the handle of the
driver’s door. The vehicle will lock. If a
door or the tailgate is open or not prop­erly closed, the vehicle will quickly lock/
unlock.

Note: a RENAULT card must be within
the vehicle's access zone (zone 1) to

1

be able to lock the vehicle using the
button.

Special note

If you wish to check that the doors are
locked after locking using button 4, you
have approximately three seconds to
try the door handles without unlocking
them.

After this delay, the hands-free mode
is activated once again and any move­ment of a handle will unlock the vehicle.

1.6

RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: use (3/3)

5

With the engine running, if after

having opened and closed a door the
card is no longer in the passenger com­partment, the message Keycard not de­tected (accompanied by a beep when
the speed exceeds a certain level)
warns you that the card is no longer in
the vehicle. This prevents you driving
away after having dropped off a pas-

6

senger who has the card, for example.
The warning disappears when the card

is detected again.

Locking using the RENAULT card

With the doors and luggage compart­ment closed, press button 5: the vehi­cle will lock.

The hazard warning lights flash twice
to indicate that the doors have locked.

Note: the maximum distance at which
the vehicle locks depends on the sur­roundings.

Special features

The vehicle will not lock if:

– a door or the tailgate is open or not

properly closed;

– a card is still in zone 6 (or in the card

reader) and no other card is in the
external detection zone.

After locking/unlocking the vehicle
or the tailgate only using the but­tons on the RENAULT card, remote
locking and unlocking in hands-free
mode are deactivated.

To reactivate the hands-free mode:
restart the vehicle.

1.7

RENAULT CARD: deadlocking

2

1

To deactivate deadlocking

Unlock the vehicle using button 1 on
the RENAULT card.

3

The hazard warning lights flash once to
indicate that the doors have been un­locked.

If the vehicle is equipped with a dead­locking function, this allows you to lock
the opening elements and to prevent
the doors from being unlocked using
the interior handles (for example, by
breaking the window and then trying to
open the door from the inside).

Never use deadlocking if
someone is still inside the
vehicle.

1.8

To activate deadlocking

You can choose between two deadlock­ing activation modes:

– press button 2 twice in quick succes-

sion;

– or, press the button on the driver’s

door handle 3 twice in quick succes­sion.

The hazard warning lights flash five
times to indicate locking.

Activating deadlocking also re­motely closes the windows and/or
the electric sunroof, on equipped
vehicles.

After activating the deadlocking
function using button 2, remote
locking and unlocking in hands-free
mode are deactivated.

To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:
restart the vehicle.

restricting its operation.

The RENAULT “SERVICE” card ena­bles the vehicle to be locked but only
allows the driver's door to be unlocked
and the engine to be started.

mode.

Insert the RENAULT “SERVICE” card
into the card reader 3. All the vehicle
opening elements lock (except the driv­er’s door).

1.12

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (2/2)

3

Interior locking/unlocking
door control

Switch 3 controls the doors, tailgate
and, depending on the vehicle, the fuel

door or the tailgate open, press and

hold switch 3 for more than five sec­onds.

When the door is closed, all the doors
and the tailgate will be locked.

Unlocking the vehicle from the outside
is only possible with the RENAULT card
in the vehicle's access zone or using
the key integrated in the RENAULT
card.

When locking the vehicle using
switch 3, the vehicle’s hands-free
locking is deactivated.

When the ignition is on, the indicator

light integrated in switch 3 informs you
of the status of the doors and tailgate:

– indicator light on, the doors and tail-

gate are locked;

– indicator light off, the doors and tail-

gate are unlocked.

When you lock the doors, the indicator
light remains lit and then goes out.

Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside.

Driver’s responsibility

If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are

driving, remember that it
may be more difficult for those as­sisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.

1.13

AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING

1

Operating principle

After the vehicle is started, the system
automatically locks the doors when you
are driving at approximately 6 mph (10
km/h) and over.

The door can be unlocked:
– by pressing door unlocking button 1.
– by opening a front door (vehicle sta-

tionary).

Note: if a door is opened or closed,
it will automatically lock again when
the vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph
(10 km/h).

Activating/deactivating the
function

To activate: with the vehicle stopped

and the engine running, press switch 1
until a beep sounds.
To deactivate: with the vehicle stopped
and the engine running, press switch 1
until two beeps sound.

For vehicles equipped with a “TFT
Display” instrument panel, you can

also deactivate/activate this function.
Refer to the information on the “Vehicle
settings customisation menu” in
Section 1, regarding the “Auto door
locking while driving” function:

= function activated
< function deactivated.

Driver’s responsibility

If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are

driving, remember that it
may be more difficult for those as­sisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.

Operating faults

If you experience an operating fault (no
automatic locking, the indicator light in­corporated in button 1 does not light up
when trying to lock the doors and tail­gate, etc.), first check that the doors
and tailgate are properly closed. If they
are properly closed and the fault is still
present, contact an approved Dealer.

Also make sure that locking has not
been inadvertently deactivated.

If it has, switch the ignition off and on
again and reactivate it.

1.19

SEAT BELTS (1/3)

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 seats are
locked in position properly so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi­ciently. Refer to the information on
“rear seat functions” and “adjusting
the rear seats” 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 belts 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 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.

2

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.

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

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

The belt should be worn so that it is
as close as possible to your body, ie.:
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep­ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

SEAT BELTS (3/3)

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 their

mountings. 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 around

them.
– 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 as

they show any signs of wear.
– 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.
– When refitting the rear seats, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used correctly.

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

Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:

– seat belt inertia reel pretension-

ers;

– lap belt pretensioners;

– chest-level load limiter;

– air bags for driver and front pas-

senger.

These systems are designed to act in­dependently or together when the vehi­cle is subjected to a frontal impact.

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

– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt

slack);
– the low volume front air bag;
– the lap belt pretensioners to hold the

occupant in his seat;
– the large volume front air bag.

1

2

Pretensioners

The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in­creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.

In the event of a severe frontal impact
and if the ignition is switched on, the
system may engage the following de­pending on the force of the impact:

– the seat belt inertia reel preten-

sioner 1 which instantly retracts the
seat belt;

– the lap pretensioner 2 on the front

seats.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following
an accident.

– No operation whatso­ever is permitted on any part of
the system (pretensioners, air
bags, computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.

– To avoid incorrect triggering of

the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved Dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.

– The electric trigger system may

only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact an approved Dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
air bag gas generators.

1.24

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)

Load limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.

Air bags for driver and front
passenger

Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in-

dicated by the word “Air bag” on the
steering wheel and dashboard (air bag
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle,
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.

Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;

– an electronic unit for system monitor-

ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;

– remote sensors;

– a single warning light

instrument panel.

å on the

A

The air bag system uses

pyrotechnic principles. This

explains why, when the air

bag inflates, it will gener-

ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
In a situation where an air bag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor, su­perficial grazing to the skin or other
problems.

1.25

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)

Operation

This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.

In a severe frontal impact, the air bags
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact
of the driver’s head and chest against
the steering wheel and of the front pas­senger against the dashboard. The air
bags then deflate immediately so that
the passengers are not in any way hin­dered from leaving the vehicle.

1.26

Special feature of the front air
bag

After a violent impact, it has two deploy­ment volumes and integrates a ventila­tion system:

– low volume air bag, this is the first

stage of operation;

– large volume air bag, the air bag

seams rip so that a larger volume of
gas is released into the bag (for the
most severe impacts).

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

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 prevent
the 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).
– Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: 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 to 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 be sustained.

In general, 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 ensure

the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS

THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)

1.27

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTS

Force limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following
an accident.

– No operation whatsoever
is permitted on any part of the
system (air bags, electronic con­trol units, wiring) and the system
components must not be reused
on any other vehicle, even if iden­tical.

– Only qualified personnel from

our Network may work on the air
bags; otherwise the system may
trigger accidentally and cause
injury.

1.28

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side air bags

These air bags are fitted to the front
seats and are activated at the sides of
the seats (door side) to protect the oc­cupants in the event of a severe side
impact.

Curtain air bags

These are air bags fitted along the sides
of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger
along the front and rear side windows
to protect the passengers in case of a
severe side impact.

Warning concerning the side air bag

– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers

specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find

out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those
designed for your vehicle (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, the

door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly
or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal

fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

1.29

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

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 prevent the risk of serious 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 of the same protection
system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts

are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in
the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial 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, computer, 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 trig-

gering 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 or broken 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).

Operating faults

å This warning light comes on

when the engine is started and then
goes out after approximately three sec­onds.

If it does not come on when the ignition
is switched on or if it stays on, there is a
fault in the system.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.

Your protection will be reduced until this
fault is rectified.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)

Carrying children

Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi­cle are your responsibility.

A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin­ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.

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

To prevent the doors being

opened, use the “Child

safety” device (refer to the

information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).

a restraint is the equivalent of allow­ing him or her to play on a fourth­floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

Driver’s res ponsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle

Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi­cient alone on your 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 inside the passenger compart­ment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

1.31

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

Using a child seat

The level of protection offered by the
child seat depends on its ability to re­strain your child and on its installation.
Incorrect installation compromises the
protection it offers the child in the event
of harsh braking or an impact.

Before purchasing a child seat, check
that it complies with the regulations for
the country you are in and that it can
be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap­proved dealer to find out which seats
are recommended for your vehicle.

Before fitting a child seat, read the
manual and respect its instructions. If
you experience any difficulties during
installation, contact the manufacturer
of the equipment. Keep the instructions
with the seat.

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

at the kerb, away from busy traf­fic.

Do not use a second-hand child
seat or one without an instruction
manual.

Check that there are no objects in
the vicinity of the child seat which
could impede its operation.

Never leave a child unat­tended in the vehicle.

Check that your child is

always strapped in and that
the belt or safety harness used is
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid
wearing bulky clothing which could
cause the belts to slacken.

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

Check that the child is in the correct
position for the entire journey, espe­cially if asleep.

1.32

CHILD SAFETY: Choosing a child seat

Rear-facing child seats

A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier
than that of an adult and its neck is very
fragile. Transport the child in this posi­tion as long as possible (until the age of
2 at the very least). It supports both the
head and the neck.
Choose a bucket type seat for best side
protection and change it as soon as the
child’s head is higher than the shell.

Forward-facing child seats

The child’s head and abdomen need to
be protected as a priority. A forward-fac­ing child seat which is firmly attached to
the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact
to the head. Ensure your child travels in
a forward-facing seat with a harness or
buckle for as long as their size permits.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.w

Booster cushions

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can
travel using a booster seat, which will
enable the seat belt to be adapted to
suit his size and shape. The booster
seat cushion must be fitted with guides
to position the seat belt on the child’s
thighs rather than the stomach. It is
recommended that you use a seat­back which can be adjusted in terms
of height to position the seat belt in the
centre of the shoulder. It must never
rest on the neck or on the arm.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.

1.33

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (1/2)

There are two ways of attaching child
seats: via the seat belt or using the
ISOFIX system.

Attachment via the seat belt

The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated
by the child seat manufacturer are re­spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor­rectly fastened by pulling it up, then
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by
moving it from side to side and back
to front: the seat should remain firmly
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been
installed at an angle and that it is not
resting against a window.

Do not use the child seat
if it may unfasten the seat
belt restraining it: the base

of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat
belt.

Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur­chased for another vehicle,

check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of ve­hicles which can be fitted with the
seat from the equipment manufac­turer.

The seat belt must never

be twisted or the tension

relieved. Never pass the

shoulder 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 nor­mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.

Attachment using the ISOFIX
system

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap­proved in accordance with regulation
ECE-R44 in one of the three following
scenarios:
– ISOFIX universal 3-point forward-

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

For the latter two, check that your child
seat can be installed by consulting the
list of compatible vehicles.

Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.

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

No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system
(ISOFIX seat belts, seats

and their mountings) originally fitted.

1.34

Attachment using the ISOFIX
system (continued)

The two rings 1 are located between
the seatback and the seat base of the
seat and are identified by a marking.
To ensure your child seat can be easily
fitted and locked on the rings 1, use
access guides 2 on the child seat.

3

6

The third ring 3, 4 and 5 (for long chas­sis versions) or 6 (for short chassis ver­sions) is used to attach the upper strap
on some ISOFIX seats.

The rings are located on the floor and
indicated by markings on the luggage
compartment carpet. To access these
anchoring points, push the rear seat
forward and lift the cover if necessary.

Note: for 7-seater vehicles, the rings
are located on the luggage compart­ment floor and are visible.

In all cases, attach the strap hook to the
corresponding ring (3 and 4 for the rear
side seats and 5 or 6 for the rear centre
seat) and place the seat in the desired
position.

Tighten the strap so that the child seat­back is in contact with the back of the
vehicle seat. Do not make any further
adjustments to the seat position set­tings.

The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child
seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat
belt or other objects to these anchorage points. Check that nothing is ob­structing the anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage
points checked and replace your child seat.

The child seat strap must
be attached to the corre­sponding ring.

Do not use any other

mounting point.

1.35

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/9)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagram on the follow­ing page shows you how to attach a
child seat.

The types of child seats indicated may
not be available. Before using a differ­ent child seat, check with the manufac­turer that it can be fitted.

Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.

Check that when installing

the child seat in the vehicle
it is not at risk of coming loose from
its base.

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

Always attach the child seat to the
vehicle even if it is not in use so that
it does not come loose under harsh
braking or impact.

In the front seat

The laws concerning children travel­ling in the front passenger seat differ in
every country. Consult the legislation in
force and follow the indications on the
diagram on the 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°);

– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat

base as far as possible.

Do not change these settings after the
child seat is installed.

RISK O F DEATH O R
SERIOUS INJURY: before

fitting a rear-facing child

seat to this seat, check
that the air bag has been deacti­vated (refer to the information on
“Child safety: deactivating/activat­ing the front passenger air bag” in
Section 1).

1.36

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (2/9)

In the rear seat

A carrycot can be installed across the
vehicle and will take up at least two
seats. Position the child with his or her
feet nearest the door.

Move the front seat as far forward as
possible to install a rear-facing child
seat, then move back the seat in front
as far as it will go, although without al­lowing it to come into contact with the
child seat.

For the safety of the child in the for­ward-facing seat, do not move the seat
in front back past the middle of the
runner, do not tilt the seatback too far
(maximum of 25°) and move the seat
backwards as far as possible.

Check that the child seat is resting
against the back of the vehicle seat and
that the headrest of the vehicle is not
obstructing its use.

For 7-seater vehicles, the second row
rear seats must be pushed forward
before a child is seated in the third row
rear seats.

In the rear centre seat

Some child seats are too wide to allow
access to the seat belt buckles. Check
that your child seat can be fitted in this
seat.

When fitting an ISOFIX child seat in
this place, ensure that the two seat
belt buckles are placed flat under the
child seat, except in the case of booster
seats attached to the ISOFIX locks,
whose fitting is authorised

Ensure that the child seat
or the child’s feet do not
prevent the front seat from

locking correctly. Refer to
the information on the “Front seat”
in Section 1 or “Rear seat operation”
in Section 3.

When fitting a child seat
(Group 2 or 3 booster seat),
check that the seat belts op-

erate (wind) correctly: refer
to Section 1 “Rear seat belts”. If
necessary, adjust the position of the
vehicle seat.

The floor of your vehicle

has storage spaces. Before

installing a child seat with

a floor support, ensure that
this seat can be correctly installed
by consulting the list of compatible
vehicles supplied with the child seat.

Adjusting the steering wheel
height and depth

Pull lever 1 and move the steering
wheel to the required position.

Then, push the lever back fully, beyond
the point of resistance to lock the steer­ing wheel.

Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.

Power-assisted steering

Variable power-assisted steering

The variable power-assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.

Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).

Operating faults

The steering may become stiff when
driving or when the steering wheel is
turned repeatedly. This is due to the
power assistance overheating. In this
case, it must be allowed to cool down.

With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos­sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.

For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station­ary.

Never leave the steering wheel at
full lock while stationary.

Never switch off the igni­tion when travelling down­hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance

is not provided).

use the heater integrated in the engine:
connect the special end of the exten­sion piece supplied into the socket in­tegrated into the radiator grille and the
other end into a 220V socket for at least
6 hours before starting.

Note: you may notice an increase in
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.

Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un­leaded or E85) with diesel.

FUEL TANK (2/3)

Filling with fuel

Insert the nozzle to open valve A and
insert it fully before turning it on to fill
the fuel tank (risk of splashing).

Keep the nozzle in this position through­out the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi­cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.

Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. The valve A and its
surround must remain clean.

Petrol versions

Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.

To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows

the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).

1

Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function

To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine by pressing the
engine stop button 1 (please refer
to the information on “Starting and
Stopping the engine” in Section 2).

Persistent smell of

fuel

If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:

– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-

fic conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;

– switch on the hazard warning

lights and ask your passengers
to leave the vehicle and to keep
away from traffic;

– contact an approved Dealer.

1.83

FUEL TANK (3/3)

Running out of fuel on diesel
versions

After a breakdown caused by com­pletely running out of fuel, the system
must be reprimed before the engine is
restarted:

Fill the tank with at least 8 litres of
diesel fuel.

Press priming bulb 2 several times.
The engine can now be restarted.
If the engine does not start after several

attempts, contact an approved Dealer.

No modifications what­soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply

system (electronic units,
wiring, fuel circuit, injectors, pro­tective covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (unless undertaken by
qualified Network personnel).

2.8

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS

The following operating conditions
should be avoided:

– driving for long periods when the low

fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives

which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition, running out of fuel or

disconnected spark plugs resulting

in the engine misfiring or cutting out

when driving;
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to

overheat, reducing its efficiency which

may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle.

If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car­ried out as soon as possible by an ap­proved dealer.

These faults may be avoided by regu­larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Service Booklet.

Starting problems

To avoid damaging the catalytic con­verter, do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without

having identified and corrected the
cause of the fault.

If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.

Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-

stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.

2.9

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS

Diesel engine speed

Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.

If the message “Check anti-pollution
system” is displayed on the instrument

panel accompanied by the

Ä and

© warning light; consult an ap-

proved dealer straight away.
When driving, depending on the fuel

grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.

This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.

Running out of fuel

If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed

after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re­starting the engine.

Precautions to be taken in
winter

To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully

charged,

– always keep the diesel tank rela-

tively full to avoid water vapour con­densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.

Do not park the vehicle or

run the engine in locations

where combustible sub-

stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.
