As above really.......How do you open the bonnet?

UK Car

passenger footwell underneath glovebox to left hand side is a handle pull it this will release the bonnet. Then go to front of car- on the grill a small tab should have popped out ,pull this and lift the bonnet up...........job done !

not trying to be funny....have you got a manual??

agreed......I knew about the mirrors but I found out by accident that if you doubleclick the keycard to deadlock her and the window(s) are down they close themselves........how many of you are going out to your cars to try it LOL ????

Rich

very true guys, i was very clued up about my car only because i was on this forum all the time before i got my car!

lol a love it, you find somethin new everyday with the car, a found out about the mirrors and double looking by just playing with everything the first night lol

Anyone found the button for the ejector seat yet? ;)

i was arguin with my ex girl when i found out about the foldng mirrors, and i found out bout the windows pretty sharp cause i press the lock button 5 times wen i leave the car hahaha

tbf it took me 5 mins to find the bonnet release in the offside well

when i bought my old car - the garage told me it didnt have the folding mirrors / handsfree but it did :D

what does deadlocking actually do? (thought this would be an appropriate time to ask a stupid question) :tt2:

also whats all this business with the folding mirrors?

I can't get it to work, I turned the white dot to point straight down and nothing happened?

what am I doing wrong?

either you aint got it, or its broke, is there a picture of a little mirror underneith, jus notice it aint a RS possibly why

hi, ive got keyless entry on my meg hatback, i fold mirros in by turning a knob. does mine have this feture too?


(anit got car with me at mo)

how do you find out if your mirrors fold in automatic?

how do you find out if your mirrors fold in automatic?

I don't think the RS'sdo, some other the other models might tho.

Many have tried... fuses blown, tempers flared and so on. One guy in some place is running them via the lights IIRC, he drives with lights on all the time and when he turns them off the mirrors fold. It's been discussed here.

doesnt sound like you are doing anything wrong? does the

nebmx - yes the non-RS's can have the folding mirrors too.

you get the folding mirrors / handsfree entry and all that with the 'priviledge' spec or with adding the 'comfort pack' or adding the features seperately obviously

you will know you have the comfort pack if you have: handsfree entry (i.e. dont use keycard to lock / unlock car), panoramic sunroof, 6CD changer etc

I'm sure you can ring renault and ask them to send you a print out of / or just tell you what spec your car is if you dont know.


hi, ive got keyless entry on my meg hatback, i fold mirros in by turning a knob. does mine have this feture too?

(anit got car with me at mo)

yeah folding them with by turning knob is the feature (if thats what your question is?)
when you say keyless entry do you mean handsfree entry?

keyless is just having a card which they all have whereas handsfree is being able to open / lock without using the keycard


how do you find out if your mirrors fold in automatic?

they dont fold in automatically - they will fold in by turning the knob as described above. turn it to face downwards and they should work.

Well I just learnt something new then, nice one! :D

Not about the bonnet release, about the auto window shutting/folding mirrors! LOL!

took me ages to find my bonnet release,was looking for about 20mins.. what a strange place to put it!!!!!!!!!!!!! have you seen the topic on launch control very interesting....

lol i remember when i first opened the bonnet, took me about 10 seconds ;)

Daniel :)

Rich

i actually only found that out about 10 days ago myself lol

the bonnet opener is always on the "driverside" in the renault, but because you all drive at the "wrong" (yes depeche mode again) side, you don't find it as easily hihi x)

the bonnet opener is always on the "driverside" in the renault

No it's not, it is on the left handside which is only the driver side on a LHD car. On a RHD drive car it is on the passenger side :)

No it's not, it is on the left handside which is only the driver side on a LHD car. On a RHD drive car it is on the passenger side :)

I tried to make it clear that only 1 real drivingside existed :p :ohmy:

lol, no i'm kidding, i don't even see the difference between a LHD and RHD on pictures anymore...

Dont forget that the first widely accepted example of a car, the Benz Motorwagen in 1885 was RHD :)

hehe but look who is driving lol

i think it's the guy on the left side... lol try to imagine there faces when you come around the corner in an R26

Nope it's the guy on the right

lol This is a funny read actually lol. It took me about 5 seconds to find the bonnet catch pop out lol

It can be a lot harder to find if you take the front off and forget to thread the plastic lever through.
Done that twice now and spent 15min trying to find it LOl

what does deadlocking actually do? (thought this would be an appropriate time to ask a stupid question) :tt2:

also whats all this business with the folding mirrors?

if someone breaks your window to open the car from the inside the locks don't work so in order for them to get in it they have to climb through the window!!!

try you lock the car once you can still open it... you double lock it your unable to open it from the inside!!

lol This is a funny read actually lol. It took me about 5 seconds to find the bonnet catch pop out lol

same it helps when you have owned a couple of renaults before though, you get used to the french way of putting things in the most stupid places lol

Daniel :)

There's a few things i've picked up on since owning it, but i knew about the windows going up on their own. I was droooooooling over Denty's R26.R at FCS, which was before i bought mine, and i saw him lock it and the windows go up. I was well impressed. :p
