[. . . ] SCENIC DRIVER’S HANDBOOK RENAULT recommends ELF ELF has developed a complete range of lubricants for RENAULT: engine oils manual and automatic gearbox oils Warning: to ensure the engine operates optimally, the use of a lubricant may be restricted to certain vehicles. Please refer to your maintenance document. Benefiting from the research applied to Formula 1, lubricants are very high-tech products. Updated with the help of RENAULT’s technical teams, this range is perfectly compatible with the specific features of the brand’s vehicles. ELF lubricants enhance your vehicle’s performance significantly. Photo credit: Total/DPPI Imacom group RENAULT recommends approved ELF lubricants for oil changes and top-ups. [. . . ] The green  indicator light on the instrument panel A goes out to confirm that the function is deactivated. 1 2 3 4 5 Returning to the cruising speed If a speed is stored, it can be recalled, once you are sure that the road conditions are suitable (traffic, road surface, weather conditions, etc. ). Press switch 4 (R) if the vehicle speed is above 20 mph (30 km/h). When recalling the stored speed, the activation of the cruise control is confirmed, depending on the vehicle: – by the  warning light coming on; – or by the message area lighting up in green. When the cruise control function is put on standby, pressing switch 1 (+) reactivates the cruise control function without taking into account the stored speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account. Putting the cruise control on standby or switching it off does not cause a rapid reduction in speed: you must brake by depressing the brake pedal. Note: if the speed previously stored is much higher than the current speed, the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly to reach this threshold. 2. 33 PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/4) Operating principle Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the front or rear bumper depending on the vehicle, measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing. This measurement is indicated by beeps which become more frequent the closer you come to the obstacle, until they become a continuous beep when the vehicle is approximately 30 centimetres from the obstacle. Note: display 1 shows the vehicle surroundings using beeps. 1 Rear parking distance control Operation When reverse gear is selected, most objects which are less than approximately 1. 20 metres from the rear of the vehicle are detected, a beep sounds and, depending on the vehicle, display 1 lights up. Automatic deactivation of the rear parking distance control The system deactivates: – when the vehicle speed is above approximately 6 mph (10 km/h); – when reverse gear is disengaged. This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals. Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibility whilst reversing. The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bicycle, etc. ) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when manoeuvring. 2. 34 PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/4) Front parking distance control (depending on vehicle) Operation The parking distance control system is only activated when the vehicle is driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). Most objects located less than approximately 60 centimetres away from the front of the vehicle are detected and a beep is emitted. Depending on the vehicle, the red zone of the display  1 lights up - see the following page. Note: when manoeuvring, the object detection area switches to approximately one metre. If there are obstacles located close to both the front and rear of the vehicle, only the closest of the two will be acknowledged and the corresponding front or rear beep sound will be emitted. If obstacles are detected both at the front and rear of the vehicle at the same time, and they are both less than 30 centimetres away from the vehicle, the corresponding front and rear beeps will be emitted alternately. Automatic deactivation of the front parking distance control The system deactivates: – when the vehicle speed is above approximately 6 mph (10 km/h); – when the vehicle is stationary for more than approximately five seconds and a nearby obstacle is detected (such as when in a traffic jam etc. ); – when the vehicle is in neutral or when the gear lever has been shifted to N or P for automatic gearboxes; An impact to the underside of the vehicle while manoeuvring (e. g. : striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e. g. : deformation of an axle). To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer. 1 2. 35 PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (3/4) 2 A Deactivating the system You may permanently activate or deactivate the front or rear parking distance control separately. From the vehicle settings customisation menu (refer to the information on the “Vehicle settings customisation menu” in Section 1), select the line “Front parking sensor” or “Rear parking sensor” then activate or deactivate the system: 3 Parking in forwards gear When the vehicle moves from a speed greater than 6 mph (10 km/h) to a speed of less than 6 mph (10 km/h), the red zone on the display 2 and the message “Warning : obstacle” appears on the instrument panel A to signal the presence of an object less than 60 centimetres in front of the vehicle. When reverse gear is selected, the system switches to normal mode. Adjusting the parking distance control volume From the vehicle settings customisation menu (refer to the information on “Vehicle customisation menu” in Section 1), select the line “Parking sensor : volume” to adjust the parking distance control volume and confirm by pressing key 3. < = function deactivated; function activated. 2. 36 PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (4/4) Operating faults When the system detects an operating fault , a beep sounds for approximately 3 seconds each time reverse gear is selected and is accompanied by the message “Check parking sensor” shown on the instrument panel A. Please consult an authorised dealer. Special features Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc. ). When the vehicle is being driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), certain noises (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc. ) may trigger the beeping sound. 2. 37 Reversing camera Fixed clearance gauge 2 The fixed clearance gauge comprises coloured markers A,  B and C indicating the distance behind the vehicle: – A (red) approximately 50 centimetres from the vehicle; – B (yellow) approximately 1 metre from the vehicle; – C (green) approximately 2 to 3 metres from the vehicle; This gauge remains fixed and indicates the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are in line with the vehicle.
