> The sheet must be used for each transfer of responsibility along the distribution process in order to check
the presence of all the Loose accessories in the vehicle. In addition to the date of printing (usable as origin
date for the calculation of the long storage maintenance because assimilated to the FACTORY GATE OUT
(END OF FACTORY RESPONSABILITY)), it contains the vehicle VIN (in plain language + bar code), usable
to identify the vehicle in the supply chain.

> The sheet is produced in the factory and placed in the vehicle. Without exception, it has to be stuck by the
factory on the driver’s back window (inside) with a certified coloured sticky label. Any demand of infringement
by factories must be approved by (RENAULT-DACIA) . It can eventually be placed in the driver’s door
pocket for the LCV.

> It should remain in the vehicle from the time it leaves the factory until delivery to the sales outlet.

> Once outside the factory gates, it is impossible to re-edit any sheet for any part of the distribution flow. In
case of missing equipment sheet, a damage reservation should be put on the vehicle.

> A location in the vehicle is defined by RENAULT-DACIA for each Loose item.

> As far as possible, Loose equipment is grouped together in the vehicle boot. When this is not possible (for
example, with LCVs that have no trunk), (RENAULT) defines a specific location for the equipment concerned
and distributes the information by means of the downstream logistics Quality Sheet. 3.

> The two keys or the two key-cards (2-button or 3-button remotes) that come with the vehicle must be
placed in the driver’s door storage compartment of the driver's door

> When the vehicle has no driver’s door storage compartment, the two keys or two key-cards should be
placed in the central console

> Under no circumstances should the two cards or key-cards be separated from one another.

> The antenna should be wedged between the rear seats of the vehicle. In few plant the antenna will be
placed inside the sealed plastic bag together with User’ manual. When this is not possible (non-2/3 - 1/3 rear
seat, LCVs with no trunk, etc.), RENAULT defines a specific location for the equipment concerned and
distributes the information by the Downstream Logistics Quality Sheet 3.

> The Downstream Logistics Quality Sheet is produced for each new model before it goes into distribution
and details the location of each Loose item in the vehicle 3.

> In the event of absence of the equipment sheet, the receiving agent and the driver write after hearing both
parties on the reservation report the Loose equipment present during the transfer of responsibility

> The outlet’s complaint must be added with the reservation report and the technical definition of the vehicle.

> The antenna must not be mounted on the vehicle (risk of theft, risk of contact with electric wiring and
therefore of fire in the railway wagon)

> No Loose equipment should be placed on the vehicle seats

    1. Standard condition of vehicle for FACTORY GATE OUT

> A standard condition of the vehicle when leaving the factory (FACTORY GATE OUT) is defined 1.

> The list of points concerned by this standard condition is non-exhaustive and concerns in particular:

    • Starter batteries: the magic eye should be green, the breather pipe must be correctly connected, the
      battery cover must be removed and placed in the trunk. For vehicles equipped with “Super Sleep”
      system (preservation of battery load), the “Sleep” mode has to remain activated until the final
      preparation of vehicle.

    • Fuel: the allocation should comply with the distribution allocation defined in the document 2.

    • Tyres: the tyre pressure is 3 bars (45 PSI) for Passenger Cars (and the Kangoo Express) and 5 bars
      (75 PSI) for LCVs

    • Vehicle protections: these should be present and correctly
      positioned; the vehicle must comply with its packaging codes

    • Equipment sheet: this should be present and the vehicle should
      comply with it

    •     Vehicle cleanliness: there should be no labels on the windows and
         windscreen, no paper on the seats or the dashboard and no chalk
         markings on the windows, windscreen and bodywork of the
         vehicle.                                                              The inside of the vehicle must be

    • Authorized means of identification of the vehicle:
       - Mirror tie
       - Labels on number plates (if they are not sticking out)
       - Use of bar codes of the Equipment Sheet (VIN of the vehicle)

> Each vehicle must comply with this standard condition before the FACTORY GATE OUT

> Upon passage through FACTORY GATE OUT, the vehicle must be clean, both inside and out

2. Inspection and transfer of responsibility

> A crosscheck must be carried out between the factory and the first logistics service provider:
    • When the service provider is the manager of the CLE, the method to implement is the SEBR for
        RENAULT Plants 1. (Contradictory check with Flash AVES methods between Manufacturer and
        Logistics provider at the end of manufacturing line)
    • When the factory manages itself the CLE (DACIA, RSM, SOMACA, DIEPPE), the check carried out
        between the CLE and the transporter must be based on the Flash Aves method 2.

> The transfer of responsibility inspection concerns:
    •   Vehicle compliance with its equipment sheet
    •   Any non-compliances that may subsequently be ascribed to logistics

> If a vehicle is non-compliant, it should be returned to the factory for realignment; following realignment, it is
presented to the service provider for a fresh inspection.

> There must be a return circuit between the inspection area and the factory to enable the realignment of the
vehicles concerned.

> For Renault-Dacia cars, if, when submitted for the FACTORY GATE OUT, a vehicle has no equipment
sheet or if the vehicle does not comply with the sheet, the vehicle should be sent back to the factory for
realignment (re-editing the sheet or adding missing equipment).

> If the Paint Guard Film shows signs of rips or damages, it must be removed and checked by both parties.

> A check of the vehicle according to the Flash Aves method should be carried out when entering and
leaving for any transit by a transformer or a coachbuilder.

> If the transformer is situated in the neighbourhood of the factory, a new SEBR or cross-check is needed
after transformation.

> Inspection for damage is to be carried out in daylight or suitable artificial light. If night-time delivery occurs,
the inspection must be carried out the next morning before 12 o’clock.

> If the circumstances render the inspection difficult (dirt, snow, etc.), it has to be noted on the damage
reservation document.

> Hidden damage can be claimed by the receiving party after the inspection. The maximum period of time
after which such a claim is still possible should be defined in the contract with the car transporter.

> Since the PGF prevents any control of the covered parts, scratches or paint chips under the PGF are
considered to be of manufacturer responsibility, unless the PGF has been visibly damaged.

    3. Repair of damaged vehicles on dispatch-delivery (CLE)

> The factory constitutes the certified centre for carrying out all its repair and realignment operations on the
vehicles that it produces and which are situated at its CLE (Dispatch-Delivery Centre).

> A vehicle that has been in for repair should be submitted for a new inspection by the service provider
(according to the Flash AVES or SEBR method) 1 and 2.

limit the temperature rising into the cockpit and the gases associated.

> The keys or key-cards should be removed from the ignition and placed in the
driver’s door storage compartment (or in the central console if there is no door
storage area). If they are linked at FACTORY GATE OUT, the link should not be
broken. Under no circumstances should they be separated from one another if
attached by a plastic cord – they can only be detached by prior order from
RENAULT and NISSAN.

> The driver’s seat should be as far back as possible (to allow access to the
next driver with no risk of damage to the vehicle). For vehicle with leather seats, avoid any contact between
front backrest and rear seat. In such case please move seat slightly forward, so that both seats are not in
contact.

> The interior protections should be in place and correctly positioned (reposition the driver’s seat covers if
necessary; the jockey should not reposition the carpet as this could dirty his hands).

> The equipment sheet must be in the vehicle. All the equipment on the sheet must be present and properly
stowed away.

                                               C. Workshop

> The workshop should be clean, cleaned regularly and sufficiently well lit.

> The clothes used by the operators should be clean and suitable for
working conditions. They should not have sharp edges such as buttons,
rivets, and belts.

> The jockey should not carry bunches of keys, sharp objects, bracelets,
rings. Watches and belts can be worn as long as a protective device is
used.

> The vehicles should be far enough apart to avoid any damage.

> Internal protections on vehicles in the workshop should be in place and
correctly positioned (reposition if necessary the seat cover; the carpet
protection should be maintained unless it is deteriorated and has become
inefficient).

> The vehicle’s windows should be closed.

> The opening panels and openings to the passenger compartment need
to be masked over if panels and the like are removed in order to prevent any dust or paint getting into the
vehicle (very important in the paint shop).

>. The keys or key-cards should be removed from the ignition and placed
in the driver’s door storage compartment (or in the central console if there
is no door storage area). Under no circumstances should they be
separated from one another if attached by a plastic cord – they can only
be detached by prior order from RENAULT and NISSAN.

> Parts that have been dismantled (for repair) should be packaged and put
into storage (in racks).

> Tools or dismantled parts should not be placed inside the passenger
compartment or on the bodywork.

> The equipment used should be in a suitable condition and in good
working order.

> The transport protections must be replaced if necessary (lack of / or
damaged)

                                           D. Risks prevention

In addition to the corrective actions implemented, the centre must do its utmost to prevent any risks to which
its parked up fleet may be prone. The main risks are as follows:

> Flooding (drainage)

> Hail (hail nets)

> Wind, storm (wind nets)

> Chemical pollution (including bird excrement)

> Theft (camera surveillance, anti-intrusion device, gaps, barbed wire)

> Excessive sunlight (tent, covered stowage)

> Fire (hydrants and fire extinguishers)

> Lack of storage space resulting in bad storage conditions. The centre must monitor its saturation rate
permanently and have some alternative storage locations available for preventive use when there is a
danger of saturation.

> All alternative storage locations selected by the centre must meet the RENAULT and NISSAN
requirements and receive the RENAULT and NISSAN approval prior to the vehicle transfer.

> If, despite the preventive methods implemented, the stored vehicles are affected by a natural catastrophe,
the distribution centre must put a block on any vehicles that may have been damaged and inform the ALE ,
insurers or its representative and group insurance department as soon as possible.
