Ignition switch wiring

I am trying to sort out which wire to connect to for using accessories that will switch off when ignition is off.
Have 'borrowed' this picture from Media to show the 5 wire arrangement. This is what I believe I have.

Can anyone clarify which I should connect to please?

There should be some spare fused connections in the fusebox. I normally connect to one of them with a spade terminal rather than splice into the ignition switch wires.

Malcolm, Thank you for your comment.
I am obviously looking for a connection that will only come on when the ignition is on.
Pictures attached of my fusebox.
Any recommendation from experience? I am sorting my way through which fuse serves which circuit, or circuits.DSC08942.JPG DSC08940.JPG
 
Glad that helps Tom. This information came from a handbook, the type that would have come with the car when it was new. I was lucky enough to get my hands on this one through the Renault Owners Club a while back. I think it was the last one they had, but eBay is always worth a try. Maybe someone on the forum has a spare one they could let you have.
I'm no expert on car electrics but I recently fitted some extra instruments and a couple of 12volt sockets. I took the feed from No 1 terminal, but made sure it was the fused side. So far so good, no smoke!!
 
The handbook given to me with the van was for a very early model and did not have the diagram you posted.
I am at present preparing a sheet regarding the fusebox.
I agree that terminal one appears the one I would use for a new feed location.
More later.

Attached is a sheet I have prepared for just the fusebox area.
Based on information from Haynes Manual, observation of my box and page from Renault manual above.
I am not 100% sure of all the colours listed. Maybe tracer colours so fine not easily recognised.
Any comments, corrections are welcome
