WHY RENAULT?
For the past 100 years, Renault has been one of the motor industry’s most notable
innovators. But we have never been motivated by a purely abstract notion of progress. Our
objective has always been a purely practical one: to serve the needs of the people who use
our vehicles. We know that it is not for people to adapt to our cars, but for our cars to adapt
to people. This is why we believe, for instance, that a response to the environmental
challenges of the 21st century should involve a lot more than taking measures to reduce
CO2 emissions. Every motor vehicle has an impact upon the environment, not only during its
service life, but before and after it as well. This is why Renault eco2 vehicles are produced in
environmentally responsible, ISO 14001- certified factories, it’s why our eco2 cars emit less
than 140g of CO2 g/km and why they are not only 85% recyclable but actually use already-
recycled plastic materials in their production. Reassuringly, the occupants of today’s Renault
cars are protected more completely and more effectively than ever before. The effectiveness
of our innovative new safety systems is underwritten by rigorous analysis and testing. And
equally importantly, having established that the systems truly do work, we fit them - as
standard - to every vehicle we make. As a result, Renault is the only marque in the world
able to offer 12 vehicles with the maximum rating of 5 stars in the independent Euro NCAP
safety crash tests. In our view, progress is not progress unless it is shared by all. This is why
every Renault offers a unique combination of build quality, comfort, road holding,
ergonomics, safety and environmental protection - all under the banner of the Renault
standard. And if that title sounds a little ambitious, its intention couldn’t be clearer - it is, quite
simply, to make your life better. DRIVE THE CHANGE. The philosophy that encapsulates
Renault brand values and expresses the ambition of Renault; an innovative, human
company, to pioneer sustainable mobility for all. France's number-one car brand, Renault
builds on more than 110 years of innovation to bring customers breakthrough top-quality
products and services that are ingenious, appealing, affordable and carbon-efficient.
Renault’s brand expresses the deep-rooted values of our business culture - enthusiastic,
innovative, human – and forges a new path in automotive design and use.

SYSTEMS
DYNAMIC SENSATION WITH MAXIMUM SAFETY.

It’s true: a conventionally designed chassis with front-wheel steering can give excellent road
holding. But for engineers at Renault, “excellent” just isn’t good enough. They wanted to go
even further when it came to control, stability and safety. The outcome of their ground-
breaking research is called 4Control - and it delivers a new level of exceptional driving
pleasure and efficiency. It is the wheel reinvented. With its 4-wheel steering, the 4Control
chassis gives you a unique sense of precision, responsiveness and handling. The 4Control
system acts on the steering angle of the rear wheels relative to your speed. Below 60 kph (1)
the rear wheels point in the opposite direction to those at the front. So, the turning circle is
reduced, meaning easier manoeuvring, and improved handling on winding roads. Above 60
kph (2) the rear wheels point in the same direction as the front wheels. When cornering, this
means the rear tyres are perfectly aligned for the direction in which you’re turning, and
steering wheel movement is decreased. This makes the new Laguna Coupé highly stable
when driving round bends. For maximum safety, the 4Control computer is also linked to the
ESP and ABS electronic systems. Because it can recognise emergency situations
immediately, it adjusts the steering angle for the rear wheels instantaneously, so you can
safely make quick avoidance manoeuvres.
(1) (2)
ESP
The Electronic Stability Programme with CSV under steer control automatically corrects the
Vehicle’s trajectory when detecting a skid, under conditions such as under steering,
Over steering, emergency avoidance, or even a wheel on a verge. When the actual vehicle
Trajectory is found to diverge from the set vehicle trajectory, the controller adjusts the
Engine torque and applies selective braking on one or more wheels to restore the set
Trajectory.
8
EBA
Emergency Brake Assist reduces stopping distances by automatically applying the cars
Full braking power in an emergency situation. When the controller detects an emergency
Situation (rapid action on brake pedal), it applies maximum available brake power and holds
it until the pedal is fully released. The system also switches to ABS regulation. The result is
Vehicle braking as it would have been applied by an expert driver.
ABS with EBD
ABS keeps the wheels from fully locking up during emergency braking to allow the driver
To maintain steering control. EBD (Electronic brake distribution) is a complementary system
embedded in ABS. It continually manages break-force distribution between the front and rear
wheels. Sensors on each wheel constantly monitor rotation speed. As soon as one of the
wheels starts to lock up, a central controller trigger a hydraulic compensation system. EBD
uses the hydraulic system and ABS sensors to adjust braking between axles.
Navigating systems
The Two navigation systems – the Cumana blue tooth cd auditorium – and the Cumana
DVD grand auditorium systems are taken from the new Laguna.

BODY
Frame
The After-Sales cutting section of the body side is different from the factory cutting section.
The body side is made up of two parts: the front section and the rear section.
During manufacturing, the body side pressing process is not standard and unlike other
vehicle manufacturing. The body side is assembled with the reinforcements. The rear wing
panel and the sill panel are pressed seprately. The three parts are then assembled by
electric resistance welding.
In After-Sales, the rear wing panel and sill panel connection is made by gas metal arc
welding. The recommendations concerning this special weld joint are described in the
Bodywork Structure Repair Manual (MR400). The gas metal arc spot welds in this zone do
not need to be levelled.

The outer surface
The roof of the Laguna is jointed to the body sides by transparent lazar welding.
For technical reasons to facilitate assembly the joint between the bottom of the rear wing
and the sill panel forms a reduced gourd, this zone is finished by applying a mastic seal.
The bonnet and the entire bonnet lining of the Laguna Coupe are made of aluminium.
The front wings and the frameless doors of the Laguna are made of steel.
15
BODY
The luggage compartment lid of the Laguna coupe is made of SMC Plastic (Sheet-moulded
composite)
The hinges of the luggage compartment lid are the swan neck type. They are located in the
damp zone in order to facilitate access to the luggage compartment.
An in-depth, systematic study has been carried out right from the earliest stages of
development (choice of technology and materials, e.g. an engine cradle and add on made of
aluminium), resulting in architecturally innovative solutions (insulation, structure). For
example, the utilisation of steel with an extremely high yield limit (TTTHLE) for the structure
of the bodywork reconciles weight distribution, an increased stiffness of the body and an
improved level of protection in the event of an impact.

ELECTRONICS
V6 Vehicle Battery
The V6 vehicle’s battery is located in the emergency spare wheel compartment.
Pyrotechnic disconnecting switch

The positive connection is equipped with the Pyrotechnic disconnecting switch. The switch
cuts the electrical supply in the event of a rear impact and must be replaced.
Two large cross-sectional cables carry the electrical supply between the battery, the starter
and the battery disconnection unit located in the engine compartment.

TRIM & UPHOLSTERY
Removal of the front Seat cover
To remove the cover, place your hand in the middle of the cover to unclip the two top clips.
(Note: The shape of the top clip is different between the Laguna hatch and estate.)
Then, lift the cover to detach the lower fixings.
Rear Seat Access sensor

The seat base is moved forward electrically with double speed compared to comfort
adjustment.
Principle: Seat back tilted forwards:
 The seat runners move forwards as soon as the seatback enters zone 3.
Seat back tilted back wards:
 The seatback enters zone 2 and the runners stop.
 If the seatback is tilted back to zone 3, the runners move forward again.
 If the seatback is tilted back to zone 1, the runners move back to the initial
adjustment position. Redemption

TRIM & UPHOLSTERY
Head Lining
During manufacture, the headlining is fitted before the windscreen. The headlining is
removed after fully reclining the seatbacks and removing the door. Removing an airbag
badge leads to its destruction. It is impossible to release the clips. The clips must be
replaced after the repairs.

TRIM & UPHOLSTERY
Door Window Mechanism
The window mechanism adjusts the electric window glass. The door module incorporates
"the short-drop function". The door seal provides the upper sealing of the sliding window
glass. The module of the external and internal door handle signals the order (via the
integrated sensor) to the door module to lower the window a few centimetres in order to be
able to open the door. If the door is not opened in 20 seconds the window will close
automatically- if the window does not close automatically; you can manually close the
window by 6 successive activations of the window control switch inside the vehicle.

TRIM & UPHOLSTERY
Window mechanism adjustment
The electric window glass is secured to the window mechanism by clamping the front
section. The rear section is secured by a bolt which passes through the glass and a spacer
provides the interface. Observing the correct tightening 8 NM for the front and rear
mountings this will prevent the window from breaking. When the operating slides are in
the bottom position, it is possible to make "fine" adjustment of the electric window glass at Z.
It is also possible to adjust the electric window glass and window mechanism assembly; this
adjustment can be made without having to remove the door trim.
Adjusting the Front Side Door Electric window glass
Perform all movement of the front side door electric window glass with the vehicle engine
running. Close the front side door each time an adjustment is made to check the result.
Start by adjusting the window X axis
 Open the front side door. Position the front side door electric window glass
in the upper position.
 Remove the front side door trim.
 Remove the blanking covers (1).
23
TRIM & UPHOLSTERY
Manually lock the front side door lock (check that the window raises).

Next simultaneously adjust the Z axis of the window
Place the front side door sliding window at the dimensions shown, once adjusted it must be
located in the adjustment range between 6 and 10 mm in relation to the body side trim seal.
Make an adjustment to the bolts (4) using a no. 5 BTR wrench, after having completely
lowered the front side door sliding window. Check that none of these actions causes the
front side door sliding window to become misaligned in relation to the rear quarter panel
window:
- Window too high towards the front: Turn the bolt (5) anticlockwise (1 turn = 1 mm).
- Window too low towards the front: Turn the bolt (5) clockwise (1 turn = 1 mm).
- Window too high towards the back: Turn the bolt (6) anticlockwise (1 turn = 1 mm).
- Window too low towards the back: Turn the bolt (6) clockwise (1 turn = 1 mm).
Adjust the Y axis of the window
Undo the nuts; fit a shim (7) between the front side door and the rear wing panel. Rest the
front side door on the shim.
25
TRIM & UPHOLSTERY
Measure the dimension (X4) and (X5) of the front side door sliding window. The difference between
(X4) and (X5) must be 5 mm more at (X5). Example: - If (X5) = 20 mm then (X4) = 15 mm.
Adjust the Y play by moving the rear lower section of the front electric window mechanism.
Tighten the lower nut of the rear rail of the front side door electric window mechanism (be
careful not to move the rear rail of the front side door electric window mechanism when
tightening the nut). Remove the shim. Close the front side door. Open the front side door
and lower the front side door sliding window completely (this action allows the front rail of the
front side door electric window mechanism to be positioned correctly). Tighten the lower nut
of the front rail of the front side door electric window mechanism (be careful not to move the
front rail of the front side door electric window mechanism when tightening the nut). Check
that the front side door sliding window is working by raising and lowering the window
completely in one-touch mode. Raise the front side door sliding window fully. Close the front
side door again. Check that the front side door sliding window is in the right position. Refit
the blanking covers (3). Remove the masking tape from the front side door sliding window.
It is possible to carry out a finishing adjustment on the Y axis without having to remove the
front side door trim. Check the flush-fitting of the front side door sliding window in relation to
the rear quarter panel window:
- if the front side door sliding window comes out too far in relation to the rear quarter panel
window: loosen the nuts and push the rear rail of the front side door electric window
mechanism towards the vehicle exterior.
- if the front side door electric window glass does not come out enough in relation to the rear
quarter panel window:

AIRBAG AND PRETENSIONERS
Door Sealing
When replacing the door seal you must scrupulously observe the repair procedures, the
effectiveness of the seal depends on this.
Safety Instructions
You will always be asked for the safety instruction sheet:

- When requesting technical assistance from the Techline,
- To be enclosed when returning monitored parts on request. The log is needed for warranty
reimbursement and enables better analysis of the parts which have been removed. All
operations on the airbag system must be carried out by qualified trained personnel. Safety
rules must be observed whenever work is carried out on a component to prevent physical
damage or human injury:
- Make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging computers with a low
charge, use the appropriate tools, when working on the airbag system, it is essential to use
the computer locking command to avoid accidental triggering (all the trigger lines will be
inhibited).
1. Driver's front airbag
The role of the driver's front airbag is to protect the driver's head in the event of frontal
impact.
31
2. Passenger front airbag
The role of the passenger front airbag is to protect the front passenger's head in the event of
frontal impact.
3. Airbag computer
The role of the airbag computer is to take control of all the vehicle's restraint devices
intended to ensure the protection of the occupants (driver and front passenger).
4. Front Side Airbag
The role of the passenger side airbag is to protect the front passenger's chest and head in
case of side impact.
32
5. Airbag deactivation key
The passenger airbag deactivation key informs the airbag computer of a request to
deactivate the passenger front airbag.
The airbag computer controls all of the vehicle's restraint devices intended to ensure the
protection of the occupants (driver and front passenger).
The airbag computer is designed to perform the following functions:
– Detection and confirmation of front longitudinal impacts;
– Corresponding activation of the pyrotechnic restraint devices (e.g.: pretensioner, airbag);
– Management and monitoring of the Airbag fault and Airbag off warning lights on the
instrument panel (Wire connections);
– Management of the warning lights for the Seat belt reminder,
– Activation of the crash output signal in the event of a crash (wire connection);
– Management of the fault finding signals (signals provided by the fault manager in response
to fault finding requests, whether this consists of internal faults or input / output fault
finding).
Special notes:
1. Front impacts:
The detection of front impacts takes into account the signals from the computer's internal
accelerometers. A frontal algorithm produces a characterisation of the impact using the
sensor signals in order to initiate an adapted protection. It generates a crash output signal
according to the type of impact in order to inform the other computers that a crash has been
detected. The programming applied by the various computers likely to use this information is
not described in this functional description. Additional information, for example the position of
the inhibition key, consequently modify the behaviour of the system in order to better
respond to the protection requirements resulting from the situation identified and
characterised.
2. Inhibition of passenger triggers lines:
This function is managed by the airbag computer according to the position of the passenger
airbag inhibition switch. The change in status of the inhibition switch is recognised for 10
seconds after the vehicle ignition is switched on (computer supply).
Inhibition programming:
– Trigger lines inhibited and Airbag Off warning light lit if the switch is OFF (100 Ω);
– Trigger lines authorised if the switch is ON (400 Ω);
– Trigger lines inhibited, Airbag Fault and Airbag Off warning lights lit if a fault is detected,
if the switch is not configured and detected as present, or if there is a change of position
outside of the conditions. By default, when the key is in the inhibition position, the following
protections and signals are inhibited in the event of a crash:
33
– Front passenger front airbag,
– SBR warnings*: the inhibition key inhibits the warning light.
This can still be configured using the diagnostic function, except in the case of SBR
warnings*.
3. Seat belt locking monitoring:
This function is managed by the computer (warning light and audible signal):
– Driver’s seat belt buckled (contact open),
– Driver’s seat belt not buckled (contact closed).
4. Management and Monitoring of the airbag warning lights:
The airbag computer controls and checks the status of the Airbag fault and Airbag Off
warning lights on the instrument panel. These signals are exchanged via wire.
The Airbag fault warning light is lit for 4 seconds when the ignition is switched on (+ after
ignition). This is the amount of time required by the system to become operational after the
vehicle is started. It then remains off except under the following conditions:
– Detection and registering of an airbag system fault (input/output fault, configuration fault),
– A crash has been detected and registered,
– If the computer is crash locked by a diagnostic tool,
– If the computer must be programmed or reprogrammed.
The Airbag Off warning light represents the actual status of passenger airbag inhibition:
– "off" = active (switch "ON"),
– "lit" = passenger airbag inactive (switch "OFF" or fault detected on the switch line).
The 2 warning lights can be illuminated simultaneously.
5. "Crash output" signal activation.
A "crash output" signal is transmitted by a wire, according to the type of impact, in order to
inform the other computers that a crash has been detected. The functionality described
below is given for information and cannot in any case be considered as contractual.
6. Management of fault finding signals.
– Fault finding of internal functions (self-test when switched on, verification of the
configuration),
– fault finding for external functions (pyrotechnic ignition modules);
– fault finding for supply,
– Storage of faults identified when the vehicle is started, while the engine is running, or when
the ignition is switched off,
– Permanent storage of the parameters relating to the crash algorithm and signals recorded
during the crash,
– Permanent storage of system faults present before a crash,
– Control of the warning lights and the crash output signal.

The airbag computer monitors all of the vehicle's restraint devices intended to ensure
occupant protection (driver, front and rear passengers).
The computer is designed to carry out the following functions:
– Detection and confirmation of front longitudinal impacts and/or side impacts;
– Corresponding activation of the pyrotechnic restraint devices (e.g.: pretensioners, airbag);
– Management of the function inhibiting the trigger lines and the lateral acceleration sensors;
– Management and monitoring of the Airbag fault and Airbag Off warning lights on the
instrument panel (wire connections);
35
– Management of the warning lights for the SBR*,
– Management of the audible function for the SBR*,
– Management of the radio cut-off for the SBR*,
– Activation of the crash output signal in the event of a crash (wire connection),
– Management of the fault finding signals (signals provided by the fault manager in response
to fault finding requests regarding internal faults or input/output fault finding).
Special notes:
1- Longitudinal impacts:
The detection of front or rear longitudinal impacts takes into account the signals from the
internal accelerometers of the computer. A frontal algorithm produces a characterisation of
the impact using the sensor signals in order to initiate an adapted protection. It generates a
crash output signal according to the type of impact in order to inform the other computers
that a crash has been detected. The programming applied by the various computers likely to
use this information is not described in this functional description. Additional information, for
example the position of the inhibition key, consequently modify the behaviour of the system
in order to better respond to the protection requirements resulting from the situation
identified and characterised.
2- Side impacts:
A side algorithm produces a characterisation of the impact using the signals from the side
sensors and the computer internal sensor in order to initiate a protection adapted to the side
impact. It generates a crash output signal according to the type of impact in order to inform
the other computers that a crash has been detected. On vehicle versions that do not have
these side sensors, the airbag computer nevertheless can handle the side detection for the
crash output. The programming applied by the various computers likely to use this
information is not described in this functional description. Additional information, for example
the position of the inhibition key, may consequently modify the behaviour of the system
(depending on the configuration adopted) in order to better respond to the protection
requirements resulting from the situation identified and characterised. SBR*: (Seat Belt
Reminder)
3- Inhibition of passenger triggers lines:

This function is managed by the airbag computer, according to the position of the passenger
airbag inhibition switch and taking into account the vehicle context. The status change of the
inhibition switch responds to a transverse programming (manufacturer business rule) that
authorises recognition for 10 seconds after the vehicle ignition is switched on (computer
supply).
Inhibition programming:
– Trigger lines inhibited and Airbag Off warning light lit if the switch is OFF (100 Ω),
– Trigger lines authorised if the switch is ON (400 Ω),
– trigger lines inhibited, Airbag Fault and Airbag Off warning lights lit if a fault is detected, if
the switch is not configured and detected as present, or if there is a change of position
outside of the conditions. By default, when the key is in the inhibition position, the following
protections and signals are inhibited in the event of a crash:
– Front passenger front airbag;
– Front passenger chest-level airbag;
– SBR warnings*: the inhibition key inhibits the warning light and buzzer, and deactivates the
occupant warning by radio cut-off. This can still be configured using the diagnostic
function, except in the case of SBR warnings*. The passenger front airbag and passenger
front chest-level airbag are inhibited when the locking switch is
36
positioned on OFF or when DF028 PASSENGER AIRBAG STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT
CIRCUIT or DF193 PASSENGER AIRBAG LOCKING STATUS CHANGE is present in the
computer memory.
4- Seat belt locking monitoring:

This function is managed by the computer (warning light and audible signal):
– Driver’s seat belt buckled (contact open),
– Driver’s seat belt not buckled (contact closed).
5- Management and monitoring of the airbag warning lights:

The airbag computer controls and checks the status of the Airbag fault and Airbag Off
warning lights on the instrument panel. These signals are exchanged via wire.
The Airbag fault warning light is lit for 4 seconds when the ignition is switched on (+ after
ignition). This is the amount of time required by the system to become operational after the
vehicle is started. It then remains off except under the following conditions:
– Detection and recording of an airbag system fault (input/output fault, configuration fault),
– A crash has been detected and registered,
– If the computer is crash locked by a diagnostic tool,
– If the computer must be programmed or reprogrammed.
The Airbag Off warning light represents the actual inhibition status of the passenger airbags:
– "off" = active (switch "ON"),
– "lit" = passenger airbags inactive (switch "OFF" or fault detected on the switch line).
The 2 warning lights can be illuminated simultaneously.
SBR*: Seat Belt Reminder
6- Activation of "Crash output" signal.

A crash output signal is transmitted by a wire, according to the type of impact, in order to
inform the other computers that a crash has been detected.
The functionality described below is given for information and cannot in any case be
considered as contractual. Impact types Customer complaints
Front: deactivation of automatic locking when driving, activation of the hazard warning
lights, and unlocking of the steering column.
Rear: deactivation of automatic locking when driving, activation of the hazard warning lights,
and unlocking of the steering column.
Side: deactivation of automatic locking when driving, activation of the hazard warning lights,
and unlocking of the steering column.
7- Management of fault finding signals.

– Fault finding of internal functions (self-test when switched on, verification of the
configuration),
– Fault finding of external functions (pyrotechnic ignition modules and sensors),
– fault finding for supply,
– Storage of faults identified when the vehicle is started, while the engine is running, or when
the ignition is switched off,
– Permanent storage of the parameters relating to the crash algorithm and signals recorded
during the crash,
– Permanent storage of system faults present before a crash,
– Control of the warning lights and the crash output signal.
The airbag system components must be configured in accordance with the vehicle
equipment criteria.
37
All the inputs and outputs of the airbag computer (ignition modules and sensors) are
configurable independently of one another. Any incorrect configuration is detected by the
recording of the fault and the illumination of the Airbag fault warning light:
– "Open circuit" fault if an ignition module (or sensor) is configured, but the component is not
connected, "configuration" faults if an ignition module (or sensor) is configured and the
component is connected. If necessary, a command can be issued to return to the default
configuration (configuration of the computer as delivered)
IMPACT FUALT FINDING

Chronological order of checks:
- Front impact:
• (Gd) - (Ng) = (Gg) - (Nd)
• (Nd) - (Hg) = (Ng) - (Hd)
- Rear impact:
• (Gd) - (Bg) = (Gg) - (Bd)
• (Bd) - (Jg) = (Bg) - (Jd)

TOWING AND LIFTING

See the current towing regulations in each country.
 Never use the drive shafts, axle assembly components or suspension components
as attachment points.
 Always fully tighten and lock the towing ring before use.
 Always pull in the direction of the rod's length in order to avoid breaking it.
Vehicles fitted with automatic transmission:

 The vehicle should preferably be transported on a platform or towed by lifting the
front wheels. As an exception, the vehicle may be towed with the wheels on the
ground but at a speed below 12 mph (20km/h) and over a maximum distance of 18
miles (30 km) (with the gear lever in neutral).
 Vehicles fitted with Renault Card:
 If the vehicle battery is flat, the steering column remains locked. In this case, fit a new
battery or connect to an electrical source to lock the airbag computer using the
Diagnostic tool (see Airbag and pretensioners: Precautions for the repair)
(MR 411, 88C, Airbag and pretensioners), which unlocks the steering column.
 If it is not possible to lock the airbag computer, the front of the vehicle must be lifted.
To access the front attachment point, the front bumper trim (1) must be removed. In order to
do this, release at area (2) with pull tag and slide out in direction (3).
