All of a sudden the volume control has stopped working in the radio. Can't turn up or down only mute. Neither the volume knob below main screen or buttons by steering wheel will work?
Can't find anything about this in manual either.

Hi Kylie, not really I ended up having to book it into the car dealer workshop and they connected it to the computer and reset it and it worked properly again.

Koleos HZG (2016-2020)

Hi when I start the car (2016 Koleos Bose), during the function check it says 'check card reader', then approx. 30 seconds later the stereo and nav screen turn of and restart, forcing me to re-enter media source, maps etc. I have updated Renault software but not Tom Tom software. Any help appreciated?

This was happening to my 2012 Koleos, take it to service ASAP. The issue maybe small but I’ve learned it could amount to an issue of a higher degree!

Hi everyone, (2017 Koleos Petrol) Once the fuel light comes on, our DTE (distance to empty) displays down to 80km remaining then turns blank to - -. Dealer hasnt heard of this before. Has anyone else experienced this, does your dash display go lower than 80km to empty?
Our previous 10y.o VW Golf would go all the way to 10km. Thanks!

Hi Alain,

This certainly appears to be the "norm". Ours does the exact same thing. Even our '06 Renault Megane behaves this way. Depending on your current economy, the range remaining will go to "----" somewhere between 90 and 50km remaining.

I believe this is to encourage people to refuel sooner rather than later, especially overseas as it's illegal for them to run our of fuel on certain motorways.

Hope this helps.

Koleos HZG (2016-2020)

So i have the 2018 S Edition Koleos and wanted to find out about remote engine start, once you unlock the door, the car will shut off the engine. Surely theres a takeover procedure to prevent that from happening otherwise you will always need to start the car twice if using remote engine start.
Second is there a update to support wireless carplay?

Hi Ross,

What does the manual say regarding remote engine start? Perhaps if you press the unlock button on the key card instead of the hands free button on the door it will continue to run the engine? I have never owned a vehicle with remote start but understand what you mean regarding a takeover procedure. A friends Astra they had borrowed required them to do a very specific set of steps to be able to drive the car after using remote engine start.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Nah, tried both ways and the engine shutsdown regardless. Kind of pointless having remote start for it to shutdown as soon the door or remote unlock happens

Koleos HZG (2016-2020)

my Koleos, immediately after I answer or make a blue tooth mobile call experiences "no blue tooth connection" and I am unable to make or receive calls until I shutdown the vehicle and restart.
Anyone experienced this?
I think I may need to take it to the dealer.

Mine did this and I mentioned it when it went for its first service and they updated the software and it fixed it. Now my temperature dials on the air con have stopped working so stuck on 24c. Hopefully just needs a reboot perhaps?

When my phone rings in the car and I answer I cannot hear and they can not here me. My media works fine through the car and can play music from my phone via bluetooth. Any ideas?

Hi Kas,
you don't say what State your in (O.K. frustrated state is my guess) or if the vehicle is still under warranty?
If in Victoria, try an Auto Electrician with European vehicle experience such as Jobsons in Carlton Vic. If its still under Warranty use the Dealer network to begin with, would be my advise. Many car makers use the same modules so for example, a BMW may have had the same complaint, caused by a common component to both vehicles.
If interstate, find the best European Auto Electrician, - ask older owners!
Something to try, engine running & radio on, on the right hand side of the steering wheel, off the column, you have the Audio controls that are finger tip controlled for volume up / down, station selection rotary knob, plus in the middle is a little button with a raised spot you can feel, that mutes the sound when required. Try that to see if it still works.

How do you get all your phones numbers from your mobile phone to transfer after pairing phone in 2018 Koleos 2018? Only about 60 numbers come across. Have backed up my phone and transferred any numbers from sim to phone.

Hello Bob,

Quiet as a mouse for ours. Take it in and get it resolved. Shouldn’t be an issue as you have plenty of warranty left.

Koleos HZG (2016-2020)

Hi I have a Koleas 2014 automatic model. It went in for servicing after that I had weird experience. The engine is off car locked the radio was on for at least 5 hours. I drove the car to garage, technician checked the car on his computer no fault all is perfect. I was advised to come back if problem occurs again. The same day later in the afternoon I parked my car locked it and went to work. Around 5 when I get to the car I found the wipers going on furiously car would not unlock battery got drained. Now the car is in again the technicians can't identify any fault. The battery is damaged . I am not happy with this situation. What if I install a new battery and car accessories go on draining the battery again. Buying a battery does not resolve the problem with electronic control system .
Has anyone experienced such a koleas problem before ?

We are having battery drain problems. Entire battery drained in 2 days. no explanations. Wipers were moving and lights flashing but were told that weird stuff happens when there's not enough power to the electronics. Still investigating. Mine is 2015 auto.

Koleos HZG (2016-2020)

Hi,
I had the Koleos 2010 Privilege. One of the most features I loved was when you click the lock button two times it closes all the windows and sunroof. I just purchased the Koleos Intense diesel and this car does not have the option. You physically have to jump in the car and turn it on to close all windows and sunroof, safety reason maybe? And one more question... when inside the car besides the driver seat all 3 windows have to hold the window button up or down the whole time, it doesn’t have the one click open to open or close windows? I know it’s not a big deal but I have had the older model for 7 years that had these options and from going from that to this you would just expect it will just have those options. The only thing I could think of is Safety but I’m not sure.
Thank you
