QXBIUDB*T[G 3DJH
Welcome to your new RENAULT

This driver’s handbook contains the information necessary:
• to enable you to get to know your Renault, to use it to the best advantage and to benefit from all the latest technical
developments which are incorporated in it;
• to ensure that it is always running well by following the simple - but strict - advice concerning regular maintenance;
• to enable you to deal quickly with minor faults not requiring specialist attention.
The few minutes you spend reading this handbook will be amply rewarded by the information which it provides and the
technical innovations it will bring to your attention. If certain points are still unclear, the technicians in our Network will be
only too pleased to provide you with any additional information you require.
The following symbol will help you when reading this handbook:
To emphasise a risk or danger or draw your attention to safety information.
The description of the models given in this handbook is 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.
Also, this handbook may contain information about items of equipment to be introduced later in the year.
Enjoy driving your new RENAULT.

• No modification may be made to the original restraint system components (belts and seats and their

• Do not use devices which give any play in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely

• 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.
• Seat belts should be replaced following a serious accident. Likewise, replace your seat belts as soon as they show any
signs of wear.
• When refitting the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used
properly.
• If necessary, readjust the position and tightness of the belt.

All the warnings below are given so that the airbag 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 airbag inflates.
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags and seat belts are integral parts
of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn,
the occupants of the vehicle are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. The risk of
minor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed may also increase, although such minor
injuries are always possible with airbags.
The airbag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts, or if the
vehicle turns over.
Driver and passenger airbags

• No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on any part of the driver and passenger airbag system
(computer, wiring, etc.) except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.
• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the airbag system.
• As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, is stolen or
broken into.
• When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.
• When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
1.23

QXBIUDB*T[G 3DJH

Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag
• Do not adjust either the steering wheel or the steering wheel
cushion.
• Do not cover the steering wheel cushion.
• Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone support, etc.) to the
steering wheel cushion.
• The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel

1 from the RENAULT network).
• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightly
bent (see the information on Adjusting your driving position in Section 1),
it will ensure that there is sufficient space for the airbag to inflate properly
and to be fully effective.

• The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as, in
the event of an accident, serious injuries may be sustained in this position.
As a general rule, keep your body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from
the dashboard.

CHILD SAFETY
• No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their
mountings) fitted originally.
• Carefully follow the instructions for fitting provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.
• Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint
system.
• The seat belt in the vehicle must be tight enough so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tension
regularly.
• Never wear the belt under your arm or behind your back.
• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child's size.
• Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the vehicle is moving.
• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when they are asleep.
• Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident were to occur, it may
become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.
• Following a serious accident, check the seat belts, the Isofix seat mounting and replace the child seat(s).
• Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if they are in a restraint device.
• Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with them).
• Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.
• Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.

not to scald yourself. This action is
only temporary: consult your
RENAULT Dealer as soon as possible.
Radiator
Never fill a hot radiator with cold coolant if a considerable quantity has been lost. After any operation on the
vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling system, it must be refilled with a new mixture
prepared in the correct proportions. Reminder: only products approved by our Technical Department may be
used for this purpose.

* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.).

- 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. Consult your Renault Dealer about any attachments. Under no circumstances may
the total train weight (= max. permissible all-up weight and weight towed) be exceeded.
- If your vehicle is already used at full load (max. permissible all-up weight), the maximum speed must be limited to
60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre inflation pressure increased by 0.2 bar.
- The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced
by 10% at an altitude of 1000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1000 metres thereafter.
