Most electrical circuits on this vehicle are protected by fuses, while high-power electrical loads are switched via relays. The majority of protective components are located in fuse and relay distribution boxes within the passenger compartment and engine bay.
The information provided in these diagrams applies to 3rd generation Renault Clio (chassis code CR / BR; B platform) 3-door and 5-door hatchback models produced from 2005 through 2014.
