Don’t panic! Despite seeing a new light pop-up on your instrument panel, unless it is red it is likely the car is still running fine, and while there may be a
problem to attend to, proceed with confidence and patience.
RED indicates a potentially serious problem or safety issue. Attend to it! Red may also indicate an important reminder.
YELLOW or orange means something needs to be serviced or repaired soon. If it is flashing, it is important that you contact your rental agent for advice.
GREEN or blue is only telling you that a system is on or operating normally.
WARNING LIGHTS AND WHAT THEY MEAN
Deadlock / safelock messages shown on the instrument display when the engine is turned off simply indicate that once you exit the vehicle and lock the
doors, they’re effectively deadlocked and anyone left in the car wouldn’t be able to get out in the event of an emergency. The warning is nothing to worry
about and is just a standard advisory message.
DEADLOCKS
A seatbelt warning light may illuminate when the engine is turned on. This may mean that the electronic parking brake (EPB) becomes auto activated to
prevent vehicle movement. To deactivate these warning lights, and turn off the auto activation of the EPB in this instance, ensure all passengers fasten
their seatbelts, and remove any luggage from on top of the seats. For safety secure all luggage inside the boot.
SEATBELT WARNING LIGHTS
Unless indicated otherwise by road traffic signs and/or local road regulations and/or dictated by weather conditions, the Highway Code states that
provided always it is safe to do so, a passenger vehicle may be driven at the following MAXIMUM speeds (MPH):
DRIVING RESTRICTIONS AND/OR CONDITIONS
Drivers are reminded that they are responsible for the consequences arising out of their failure
to comply at all times with the requirements of any applicable Road Traffic Regulations, the
Highway Code and/or to the road conditions prevailing at the time and in the locality through
which they are driving the vehicle.
Europcar accepts no responsibility or liability for any costs, claims, penalties, fines or any other
circumstances arising out of or in connection with the driver’s failure to comply with all and any
road restrictions and/or conditions.

Keyless vehicle entry. Ensure gear selector is in neutral (or P if automatic) and handbrake is on. Press the engine start/
stop button to start or stop the engine. Select desired gear. Release handbrake and brake pedal and gently press the
accelerator to move the vehicle. Some vehicles feature auto start/stop “smart idling” technology whereby the engine shuts
off automatically when stationary - simply depress the clutch to instantly restart the engine.
Located under flap on rear offside. Centrally locked. Release it using the internal remote release. Lift the edge of the flap to
open it, and twist off the cap anticlockwise.
Pull bonnet release lever located to the lower right of the instrument panel. Unhook catch under bonnet.
The rear seat is divided into sections which can be folded separately. To release the seat press the seat unlocking catch and
fold the seat down. To return the seat to normal use, raise the seat and push it firmly to engage the seat lock. Check it is
locked before using the seat.
Lift the carpet cover to access the storage area housing the space saver spare wheel, tools and jack. To change the wheel:
move the vehicle to firm / level ground. Turn the engine off, select first gear. Apply the handbrake. Loosen the wheel nuts
by turning them anticlockwise (do not remove them) before jacking up. Only use the specific reinforced jack points on the
underside of the vehicle. Fit the jack. Crank the jack to lift the vehicle. Completely loosen / remove nuts and wheel and
replace with the spare. Refit / tighten the wheel nuts. Lower the vehicle. Tighten the wheel nuts.
Select N for neutral, P when leaving the vehicle, R for reversing (the vehicle must be at a complete standstill before this
gear can be selected). For normal driving select D where the transmission will use all available forward gears automatically
(a ‘kickdown ‘ facility is provided when the accelerator is pressed all the way to the floor past the normal acceleration
point forcing the transmission to select a lower gear to obtain maximum acceleration. Release pressure on the accelerator
to return to normal accelerator use). To manually select gears use the M+ or M- selector (use low gears for best engine
braking for driving in hilly terrain or hazardous conditions). Whenever the vehicle is at a standstill apply the handbrake.
