The pair turned up the tempo after the restart with a goal each, to ease away from Al Fateh in the final stages, but Ronaldo had the final say.
Desperate to get his hat-trick, the veteran striker was not to be disappointed in added time as he hammered home to make it 5-0 on the night.
But Al Nassr and Ronaldo, who was without a league goal this season coming into the game, both got off the mark in emphatic fashion against an Al Fateh team that had taken four points from their first two games.
Mané, one of the notable new arrivals after signing from Bayern Munich, got the scoring started in the 27th minute following a glorious back-heeled assist from Ronaldo.
Seven minutes before half-time, Ronaldo got his first goal of the campaign with a towering header from six yards out. He scored two more in the second half, both among the simplest goals of his legendary career, after the opposition goalkeeper was left stranded and he could tap the ball into an unguarded net.
