Welcome to your new vehicle
The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the technical specifications at the time of writing. This hand-
book 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.
To indicate a hazard, danger or safety recommendation.
Enjoy driving your new vehicle.
