The following information applies to both the vehicle's front and rear seat belts.

• No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their mountings) fitted originally. For special applications (e.g. fitting child seats) consult your Renault Dealer. • Do not use devices which give any play in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely risks causing injuries in case of an accident. • Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back. • Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your knees with your seat belt around them. • The belt should never be twisted. • Following a serious accident the seat belts in use at the time must be replaced. Likewise, have your seat belts replaced as soon as they show any signs of wear. • When refitting the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly. • If necessary, readjust the position and tension of the belt.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

WWW.MANUALS.WS

These are: O buckle pretensioners, O driver's seat lapbelt pretensioner, O load limiters, O driver's and passenger front airbags.

These systems are provided to act independently or together when the vehicle suffers a frontal impact. Depending on the force of the impact the system may engage: - seat belt locking; - the buckle pretensioner (which triggers to take up the seat belt play); - the lap pretensioner (for the driver’s seat), the low volume front airbag and the load limiter; - the large volume front airbag.

• Following an accident, have the entire restraint system checked.

• No operations whatsoever are permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, airbags, computers, wiring) or use on any other vehicle, even if identical.

1

Pretensioners With the ignition switched on, if there is a severe frontal impact and depending on the force of the impact, the system may engage: - piston 1 which immediately retracts the seat belt; - piston 2 on the driver’s seat. The pretensioners hold the seat belt against the body and thus increase its efficiency.

• To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the pretensioner and airbags system. • Testing of the electric trigger system may only be carried out by a specially trained technician using special equipment. • When the vehicle is scrapped, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the pretensioner and airbag gas generators.

WWW.MANUALS.WS Driver and passenger airbags

Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.

Warning relating to the service life of airbags and pretensioners Pyrotechnic systems for airbags and pretensioners have a limited service life: refer to the servicing booklet for your vehicle for the replacement frequency.

An airbag may be provided for both the driver and the front passenger. An “Airbag” marking on the steering wheel and dashboard and a label in the lower section of the windscreen inform you of the presence of additional means of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc) in the passenger compartment. Each airbag system consists of: - An airbag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger. - A computer for both systems, which includes the impact sensor and a monitor controlling the electrical trigger system for the gas generator. - a single warning light on the instrument panel. The airbag system uses the principles of pyrotechnics. This explains why, when the airbag inflates, it will generate heat, produce smoke (this does not mean that a fire is about to start) and make a noise upon detonation. In a situation where an airbag is required, it must inflate immediately and this may cause some minor, superficial grazing to the skin.

Operation This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on. If a severe frontal impact occurs, the air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver's head and chest against the steering wheel and the front passenger's head against the dashboard. The air bag then deflates immediately so that the passengers are not impeded in any way when they get out of the vehicle.

Special feature of the front air bag There are two volumes of operation depending on the force of the impact: - “low volume” air bag, this is the first degree of operation; - “large volume” air bag, the air bag seams rip so that a larger volume of air is released into the bag (for the most forceful impacts).

Faults Warning light 1 lights up on the instrument panel when the ignition is turned on and then goes out after a few seconds. If it does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or lights up when the engine is running, there is a fault in the system. Consult your Renault Dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be reduced until this problem is rectified.

• Do not cover the steering wheel cushion. • Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel cushion. • The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from the RENAULT network). • Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on Adjusting your driving position in Section 1), you will ensure that there is sufficient space for the airbag to inflate properly and to be fully effective.

All the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag: • Do not attach or affix any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard with adhesive near where the airbag is located A. • Nothing should be placed between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.). • The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep all parts of the body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard. • You should reactivate the airbag as soon as you remove the child seat from the front passenger seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger in the event of an impact. IT IS FORBIDDEN TO FIT A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THE RESTRAINING METHODS ADDITIONAL TO THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT ARE NOT DEACTIVATED.

Warnings concerning the side air bag • Fitting seat covers: Seats equipped with an airbag require special covers specifically designed for your vehicle. Consult your RENAULT Dealer to find out if these covers may be purchased from RENAULT outlets. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of these airbags and reduce your protection.

B A B A

Lateral airbags A

Curtain airbags B

These are airbags fitted to each front seat, and the rear seats in some vehicles, which are triggered on the side of the seat (door side) to protect the passengers from severe side impacts.

These are airbags fitted along the top of the side of the vehicle and which are triggered along the front and rear side windows to protect the passengers in the event of a severe side impact.

The airbag operates through the slits in the seatbacks (door side): never put any objects in the slits.

• Do not place any accessories, objects or even animals between the seat back, the door and the internal fittings. This may prevent the airbag from operating correctly or cause injury if the air bag is deployed. • No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the internal fittings, except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.

A marking on the windowscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc) in the passenger compartment.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

WWW.MANUALS.WS

All the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn, it exposes the occupants to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with airbags. The airbag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if the vehicle turns over. • No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on the entire airbag system (computer, wiring, etc.) (except by qualified RENAULT network personnel). • To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the airbag system. • As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, is stolen or broken into. • When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle. • When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

WWW.MANUALS.WS 1.33

CHILD SAFETY

WWW.MANUALS.WS

In all countries there are regulations governing the use of restraint systems for children and babies.

In Europe children under 12 years of age or smaller than 1.50 m(1) must be seated in an approved safety device which is suitable for the weight and size of the child. The driver is responsible for ensuring that this equipment is used correctly. Child restraints for which approval was obtained after January 1992 offer a level of safety much greater than for restraints with approval before that date. It is therefore advisable to select a child restraint that complies with European regulation ECE 44. Restraints that comply with this legislation must be marked with an orange label bearing the letter E followed by a number (which stands for the country where it is type approved) and the year in which the type approval was granted.

Remember that a collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres. Expressed in other terms, transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a third-floor balcony which does not have any railings.

Under no circumstances should babies or children be allowed to travel sitting on the knees of another passenger in the vehicle. If a head-on collision occurs at 30 mph (50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kg (66 lbs) will be transformed into a missile equivalent to one tonne: you will find it impossible to hold the child, even if you yourself are wearing a belt. It is particularly dangerous to put the belt round your child when he or she is sitting on your knee. Never use the belt for more than one person at the same time.

The tables on the following pages inform you of the types of seat that can be fitted in each of the vehicle seat positions on the vehicle in accordance with the European directive. Before installing a child seat in the front seat (if fitting is permitted) If the passenger seat is fitted with one, carry out the following adjustments: - pull back the seat as far as possible, - straighten the seatback as much as possible, - raise the seat squab as far as possible, - pull the head rest up to its maximum position, - Set the seat belt height control to the low position. Refer to the Child safety equipment booklet available from the RENAULT Network to choose the seat suited to your child and recommended for your vehicle.

(1) Always comply with the laws of the country in which you are travelling. They may be different to the guidelines in this handbook.

CHILD SAFETY (continued) The right choice

WWW.MANUALS.WS

The safety of your children is also your responsibility. To ensure that your child has the maximum possible protection, we recommend that you use seats obtained from a Renault Dealer. If your vehicle is fitted with an Isofix system you should use an Isofix seat (see section 1, paragraph “Isofix child seat attachment system”). Restraint systems for all the categories are available. These systems have been developed in consultation with the manufacturers and have been tested in Renault vehicles. Consult your Renault Dealer and ask him to help you install it.

1

2

Category 0 and 0+

Category 1

A child's neck is very susceptible to injury up to the age of two. In a front-facing seat there is a risk that the child will sustain neck injuries in the event of a frontal collision. Renault therefore recommends a rear-facing seat with a harness that gives all-round protection (figure 1).

Between the ages of 2 and 4, a child's pelvis is not fully developed. Restraints using the vehicle's three-point belts are not adequate and there is a risk that the child will sustain abdominal injuries in the event of a frontal collision. It is therefore advisable to use rear-facing seats (figure 1), bucket-type seats (figure 2) or seats with harnesses. Place the head restraint at the top position to allow you to press the seat back of the child seat firmly against the vehicle seat back.

To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use RENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for your car and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will provide a warranty.

WWW.MANUALS.WS 1.37


QXBIUDB*T[G 3DJH


WWW.MANUALS.WS A booster seat with a height-adjustable seatback and a belt guide are recommended as this will allow the belt to be worn as close to the base of the neck as possible but not on it. Place the head rest in the top position to allow you to press the seat back of the child seat firmly against the vehicle seat back.

3

Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) and category 3 (22 to 36 kg)

If a booster seat without a seatback is used, the vehicle's head rest will have to be adjusted to suit the child's stature; the upper edge of the head rest must be at the same height as the top of the child's head and should never be lower than in line with the child's eyes.

To correctly restrain the pelvis of a child up to 12 years or a height of 1.50 m, it is preferable to use seats that can be combined with the three point seat belts (figure 3) with belt guides so that the vehicle's three-point belt lies flat across the child's legs. The standard classifies child restraints in five categories: Category 0 : from 0 to 10 kg (0 to 22 lbs) Category 0+: from 0 to 13 kg (0 to 28 lbs) Category 1 : from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs) Category 2 : from 15 to 25 kg (33 to 55 lbs) Category 3 : from 22 to 36 kg (48 to 80 lbs)

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Petrol versions Only use unleaded petrol. Using leaded petrol will damage the anti-pollution system and may lead to a loss of warranty. To ensure the fuel tank is not filled with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler neck contains a restrictor fitted with a valve which only allows the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be used (at the pump). - Insert the nozzle as far as it will go and so as to open the valve. - Keep the nozzle in this position throughout the entire filling operation.

Filling with fuel (continued)

Persistent fuel odour

Petrol and diesel versions No more than two filling operations may be made after the fuel feed has switched off automatically for the first time because there must be sufficient space in the fuel tank to allow for expansion.

Your vehicle has a pressurised fuel supply circuit. If a persistent fuel odour appears you should: • stop the vehicle if traffic conditions allow and switch off the ignition; • switch on the hazard warning lights and ask your passengers to leave the vehicle and stay clear of the traffic; • do not operate on or restart the vehicle before it has been inspected by qualified staff from the Renault network.

Any operation or modification on the fuel supply system (computers, wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protective covers...) is strictly forbidden due to the safety risks it may cause (except for qualified staff from the Renault network.

ADVICE ON ANTI-POLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL, DRIVING

WWW.MANUALS.WS

RENAULT is actively participating in the reduction of pollutant exhaust gas emissions and in saving energy. By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your Renault conforms to current anti-pollution standards. Technical design, however, cannot achieve all. The fuel consumption of your car and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are very much within your control. Make sure that your vehicle is maintained correctly, use it carefully and watch your driving style.

Maintenance

Engine adjustments

It should be noted that failure to respect anti-pollution standards may lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, the replacement of parts of the engine, fuel supply system and exhaust by parts other than those originally recommended by the manufacturer may alter your vehicle such that it no longer complies with anti-pollution standards. Have your vehicle checked and adjusted by your Renault Dealer in accordance with the instructions in the vehicle’s servicing booklet.

• Ignition: This does not require adjustment. • Spark plugs: Optimum conditions of use, performance and output demand that the specifications laid down by our design office be rigorously adhered to. If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle's engine. Consult your Renault Dealer for this information. • Idling speed: This does not require adjustment.

Your Renault Dealer has all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.

• Air filter, diesel filter: A clogged element hinders output and must be changed.

Always remember that the emission of pollutant fumes is directly linked to fuel consumption.

• Injection pump setting: It must be set to the recommended values.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL, DRIVING (continued) Monitoring exhaust gas

WWW.MANUALS.WS

•Brake as little as possible by suitably anticipating an obstacle or bend and then simply lifting the accelerator pedal. •Avoid fierce acceleration.

The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any malfunctioning of the vehicle's exhaust gas depollution system. If this system malfunctions, toxic substances may be released into the atmosphere or mechanical damage may occur. This warning light on the instrument panel will indicate if there are any problems with the system: This lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out after 3 seconds. - If it lights up continuously, consult your Renault Dealer as soon as possible. - If it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Consult your Renault Dealer as soon as possible.

•Do not overrev the engine in the intermediate gears. Always use the highest ratio possible without labouring the engine. On versions with automatic transmission, it is preferable to keep the gear lever in position “D”.

Driving •Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the car is stationary. •Speed is expensive. •“Sporty” driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a “light right foot”.

•Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill; accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal. •Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are superfluous actions in modern cars.

•Bad weather, flooded roads Do not drive through floods if the depth of water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL, DRIVING (continued)

WWW.MANUALS.WS • For vehicles with air conditioning, the extra fuel consumed in urban cycle can be as high as 2 litres per 100 km: switch the system off when it is not needed. • Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim as this is wasteful. • Do not leave an empty roof rack in position. • It is better to fit a trailer for bulky objects. • When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.

General hints • Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all the electrical units which are not really needed. However, (with safety always in mind), keep your lights on when the visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).

• Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits in between) because the engine never reaches its normal operating temperature. Try to group your calls.

Tyres • Pressures which are too low may increase fuel consumption. • The use of non-recommended tyres may also increase fuel consumption.

• Try to use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 100 km/h will increase fuel consumption by +4%.

• To help protect the environment, your the paint and brake pads on your vehicle are unleaded and do not contain cadmium. We have also reduced the quantity of chlorine by 40 % in relation to previous models.

Parts which can be recycled

Make your contribution towards protection of the environment too.

Recycled parts

Your vehicle has been designed with the aim of caring for the environment. • The majority of versions are equipped with a depollution system including a catalytic converter, a lambda sensor and an active carbon filter. (The active carbon filter prevents vapour from the petrol tank being released into the open air.)

• RENAULT has implemented all its knowledge of recycling to keep damage to the environment to a minimum to benefit the service life of your vehicle.

Do not dispose of parts worn and replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (battery, cells, oil filter, air filter...) and oil cans (empty or filled with oil ..) with household waste. Dispose of them through specialist organisations. In all cases, comply with local legislation.

• Your vehicle comprises 90 % recyclable parts or materials and already contains numerous parts in plastic or recycled materials (see drawing above). All the plastic components have been marked to make it easier to identify them for recycling.

(replacing tyres or fitting winter tyres) As there are special precautions to be taken when replacing tyres, we advise you to consult your Renault Dealer.

Reading the tyre pressures on the instrument panel (if fitted) After the vehicle's tyre pressures have been checked, warning messages on the instrument panel and/or values read on the information display B are updated once you exceed 12 mph (25 km/h). The operating pressure gauges show the pressure measurement variances (known as tolerance). The pressure which is displayed on the information display B may therefore be different from the pressure read on the pressure gauge used. The pressure displayed on the information display should be used.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP

WWW.MANUALS.WS

This system helps you to keep control of the vehicle in “critical” driving conditions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip in a bend...).

This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions to allow the behaviour of the vehicle to be adapted to the driving conditions. However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle's limitations and should not encourage you to drive more quickly. It can, thus, under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be aware of sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

When the function is in operation, indicator light 1 flashes or ESP message A (depending on the vehicle) lights up.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS

WWW.MANUALS.WS

When braking sharply, the two main aims are to reduce the stopping distance and keep your vehicle under control. However, there is a risk that road holding and directional control may be lost and the wheels may lock when braking, depending on the nature of the ground, weather conditions and your reactions. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) has been designed to combat this danger. The safety enhancement is that the brake control system prevents the wheels from locking, even if the brakes are applied too sharply, and allows the vehicle to be steered and thus its direction to be controlled. Under these circumstances it is quite possible for the driver to steer the vehicle and to avoid an obstacle whilst at the same time applying the brake.

This system also allows you to optimise stopping distances when the adhesion of one or more wheels becomes hazardous (wet roads, slippery or varying road surfaces).

Although this system allows you to make maximum use of stopping distances, even with the ABS you still have to take account of the actual condition of the road surface. It is still essential to follow the rules of good driving practice (such as driving at a safe distance to the vehicle in front). The fact that the vehicle’s safety has been increased should not encourage you to take risks.

When the system has been activated, you will feel a certain degree of pulsation at the brake pedal. These tangible signs will warn you that the adhesion between the tyres and the ground has reached its limit and enable you to adapt your driving style to suit the road conditions.

WWW.MANUALS.WS 2.22

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS (continued)

Two situations must be considered if there is a fault in the ABS system 1 - The orange warning light is lit up on the instrument panel.

fault indicator light are lit up on the instrument panel. This indicates that both the braking system and the ABS system are faulty. Your vehicle brakes may still partially operate. However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and it is essential to stop immediately, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Contact your Renault Dealer as a matter or urgency.

The braking control provided by the anti-lock braking system is independent of the effort applied to the brake pedal. In an emergency, apply continuous pressure to the brake pedal - there is no need to pump it repeatedly.

EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSISTANCE

WWW.MANUALS.WS

This is a system in addition to ABS which helps reduce the vehicle stopping distances.

Operating principle The system detects an emergency braking situation by means of a sensor which measures the speed with which the brake pedal is depressed.

PARKING AID Operating principle

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Proximity sensors located in the rear bumper “measure” the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle when reversing. This measurement is indicated by sonic beeps which become more frequent the closer you become to the vehicle, until they become a continuous beep when the obstacle is approximately 25 centimetres from the vehicle. Note: make sure that the proximity sensors are not blocked (dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Towing a trailer or caravan Each time you select reverse gear, the system automatically detects an obstacle. In this case it is possible to deactivate the function by installing a switch: please contact your Renault Dealer.

Faults When the system detects a fault a beep sounds for 5 seconds as a warning when reverse gear is selected. Consult your Renault Dealer.

This function is an additional aid which indicates the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle when reversing by means of sound signals. Under no circumstances should it replace vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver when reversing. The driver should always pay attention to sudden faults which may occur when driving: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bicycle...) or an obstacle which is too small or narrow (average sized stone, very narrow post...) when manoeuvring.

Faults -

Special circumstances - If the bends and hills on the road do not allow you to stay in automatic mode (e.g.: in mountains), it is recommended that you change to manual mode. This will prevent successive gear changes by the automatic gearbox when climbing, and permit engine braking in the event of long descents. - In cold weather, start the engine and wait a few seconds before moving the selector lever from position P or N and engaging it in D or R to prevent the engine stalling. - Vehicle not fitted with traction control: on a slippery surface, change to manual mode and select second gear (or even third) before starting the engine to avoid wheel spin when starting.

If this warning light lights up when driving, it may indicate a fault. Consult a Renault Dealer as soon as possible.

and while driving, if these warning lights come on at the same time, avoid leaving the gear lever in position D (or R) when stopping in traffic: always return to position N when you have to stop. Consult a Renault Dealer as soon as possible. - If a vehicle with an automatic gearbox breaks down, see the information on towing in section 5. -

- If the gear lever becomes jammed in position P even though you are pressing the brake pedal, the level can be released manually. To do this, undo the upper section of the gaiter 3. Press the button located underneath the gaiter and at the same time press the unlocking button 2 to move the lever from position P.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Protection against the action of corrosive agents

Although your vehicle has been treated with very effective anti-corrosion products, it nevertheless remains subject to the action of: • Corrosives in the atmosphere - Atmospheric pollution (built-up and industrial areas). - Saline atmosphere (near the sea, particularly in hot weather). - Seasonal and humid climatic conditions, especially road salt in winter. • Abrasives Wind-carried dust and sand, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles.

What you should not do

• Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures. • Scrape off mud or dirt without pre-wetting. • Allow external accumulate.

dirt

to

• Allow rust to form following minor impacts. • Use solvents not approved by Renault's Technical Department to remove spots as this could damage the paintwork.

• Degrease or clean mechanical components (e.g. engine compartment), underneath the bodywork, parts with hinges (e.g. inside the fuel tank flap) and painted plastic external fittings (e.g. bumpers) using pressure cleaning apparatus or by spraying on products not approved by Renault's Technical Department. If adequate precautions are not taken, this could give rise to corrosion or incorrect operation.

• Drive frequently in snow or muddy conditions without periodically washing the car, particularly under the wheel arches and body.

• Minor impacts A minimum amount of protection is necessary to guard your vehicle against such risks so as not to lose the benefit of these developments.

WWW.MANUALS.WS 4.13


QXBIUDB*T[G 3DJH

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued) What you should do

WWW.MANUALS.WS

• Wash your vehicle frequently, preferably using our recommended cleaning products and use a high-pressure jet to rinse off the underside of the vehicle and the wheel arches in particular to get rid of: - Spots of tree resin and industrial grime.

• Keep well away from the vehicle in front when driving on freshly laid surfaces to prevent paint damage. • Repair, or have repaired quickly patches where the paint has been damaged to prevent corrosion spreading.

• Before using a revolving brush type car wash, check the mounting of exterior equipment, additional headlights and rear-view mirrors and secure the wiper blades and radio aerial with adhesive tape. If your vehicle has a car phone, remove the aerial.

- Bird droppings that contain chemicals which rapidly discolour paintwork and may even cause the paint to peel off: the vehicle must be washed immediately to remove these marks since it is impossible to remove them by polishing. - Salt deposited in the wheel arches and underneath the body after driving in areas where the roads are chemically treated.

• If your vehicle is protected by the Renault anti-corrosion warranty, remember to visit the body shop periodically. Consult the anti-corrosion booklet.

• If mechanical components have to be cleaned, their protection must be reapplied by spraying on products approved by Renault's Technical Department.

• Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your vehicle on a public highway).

- Mud in the wheel arches and under the body which forms damp patches.

WWW.MANUALS.WS

What you should not do

Whatever type of stain is on the trim, use soapy water (warm if necessary ) based on: • natural soap, • washing up liquid (with one part washing up liquid to 200 parts water). Rinse off with a soft, damp cloth. Special instructions • Instrument panel window displays (e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior temperature, radio, etc.). Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool). If this does not clean them properly, use a soft cloth or cotton wool slightly moistened with soapy water and then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.

• Seat belts These must be kept clean. Use products selected by Renault's Technical Department (or Renault accessory outlets) or warm soapy water using a sponge and dry off with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or dyes.

It is strongly recommended that you do not use high pressure cleaning apparatus or sprays inside the passenger compartment: if the necessary precautions are not taken, this could impair the correct functioning of electric or electronic components in the vehicle or have other detrimental effects.

TYRES Tyre safety - road wheels

WWW.MANUALS.WS

The tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the road, so it is essential to keep them in good condition. You must make sure that your tyres conform to local road regulations.

1 2

Maintaining the tyres

When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the same make, dimension, type and profile should be used.

The tyres must be in good condition and the tread form must have sufficient depth; tyres approved by Renault's Technical Department have wear warning strips 1 which are risers moulded into the tread at several points.

When the tread has worn down to the level of these risers, they become visible 2: the tyres concerned must be replaced now as only 1.6 mm maximum of tread remains and this is not sufficient to maintain good grip on wet roads. Faults which occur when driving, such as striking the kerb, may damage the tyres and could lead to misalignment of the front axle geometry. An overloaded car, long journeys by motorway, particularly in very hot weather, or continual driving on poorly surfaced minor roads will lead to more rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your Renault Dealer.

WWW.MANUALS.WS 5.06


q

QXBIUDB*T[G 3DJH

TYRES (continued) Tyre pressures

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Tyre pressures must be adhered to. (Remember to check the spare wheel at the same time.) Tyre pressures must be checked at least once a month and always before a long journey. (Refer to the section on Tyre pressures.)

Pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures which may be reached in hot weather or after driving at high speeds.

If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, assume an increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI). Never deflate a hot tyre. Note: a label (depending on country or version) affixed to the edge or frame of the driver's door gives the recommended tyre pressures.

Incorrect tyre pressures lead to abnormal tyre wear and unusually hot running, factors which may seriously affect safety and lead to: - poor roadholding - the risk of blow-outs or of throwing a tread at high speed. Tyre pressures depend on the load and the driving speed. Adjust the pressures according to the conditions of use. (Refer to the section on tyre pressures.)

Changing wheels around Each of the sensors integrated in the valves is devoted to one single wheel: under no circumstances should you swap the wheels. There is a risk of false information leading to serious consequences.

Fitting new tyres For safety reasons, this operation must only be carried out by a specialist. Fitting different tyres may change your vehicle as follows: - It may mean that your vehicle no longer conforms to current regulations. - It may change the way it handles when cornering. - It may cause the steering to be heavy. - It may cause tyre noise. - It may affect the use of chains.

Spare wheel Refer to the information on the spare wheel and instructions on how to change a wheel in section 5.

WWW.MANUALS.WS 5.07


QXBIUDB*T[G 3DJH

TYRES (continued) Use in winter

WWW.MANUALS.WS

• Chains For safety reasons, fitting chains to the rear axle is absolutely forbidden. Chains must not be fitted to tyres which are larger than those originally fitted to the vehicle.

Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle. Special features for models fitted with 17” wheels If you wish to use chains, you must use special equipment. Consult you Renault Dealer.

• “Snow” or winter tyres We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum road holding. Note: We would point out that these tyres may sometimes have: - A specific direction of rotation. - A maximum speed which may be lower than the maximum speed of your vehicle. • Studded tyres This type of equipment may only be used for a limited period and as laid down by local legislation. It is necessary to keep to the speed specified by current legislation. As a minimum, these tyres may be fitted to the two front axle wheels.

In all cases, we would recommend that you consult your Renault Dealer who will be able to advise you on the choice of equipment which is most suitable for your vehicle.

BATTERY: breakdown

WWW.MANUALS.WS

To avoid all risk of sparks:

- Ensure that all consumers are disconnected before disconnecting or reconnecting the battery. - When charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting the battery. - Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short circuit between the terminals.

Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid which must not come into contact with the eyes or skin. If it should, wash the affected area with plenty of cold water. Keep all flames, red-hot objects and sparks away from the battery as there is a risk of explosion. Take care when working in the engine compartment as the engine cooling fan may cut in at any moment without warning.

WWW.MANUALS.WS 5.25

BATTERY: breakdown (continued)

WWW.MANUALS.WS

Connecting a battery charger

Both battery leads must be disconnected (engine switched off). Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instructions for use given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using. Only a well-charged and well-maintained battery will have a long and useful life and enable you to start the car’s engine normally.

• When the external temperature drops (in winter), the charge declines. In winter, only use those electrical components which are really necessary.

The battery must be kept clean and dry.

When a large number of accessories are fitted to the vehicle, have them connected to + after ignition. In this case, it is advisable to have your vehicle fitted with a battery which has an increased nominal capacity. Consult your Renault Dealer.

Have the battery's charge status checked regularly: • especially if you use your vehicle for short journeys or for frequent driving in town;

• Finally, you should understand that the charge decreases naturally as a result of certain “permanent consumers” such as: the clock, after sales accessories...

If your vehicle is to be left stationary for a relatively long time, disconnect the battery or have it recharged regularly, in particular during cold weather. The equipment with a memory, radio and trip computer will then have to be reprogrammed. The battery must be stored in a cool dry place, protected from frost.

Specific procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Consult your Renault Dealer. Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion and charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. Risk of serious injury.

Starting the vehicle using the battery from another vehicle Proceed as follows when starting your vehicle from another vehicle's battery: Obtain suitable jump leads (with a large cross section) from a Renault Dealer or, if you already have jump leads, ensure that they are in perfect condition. The two batteries must have an identical nominal voltage: 12 volts. The battery supplying the current should have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which is at least the same as that of the discharged battery. An iced-up battery must be thawed out before current is supplied to it. Ensure that there is no risk of contact between the two vehicles (risk of short circuiting when the positive terminals are connected) and that the discharged battery is properly connected. Switch off your vehicle ignition.

1

Check that there is no contact between cables A and B and that cable A (+) is not touching any metal parts on the vehicle supplying the current.

4

Start the engine as you would normally. As soon as it starts, disconnect cables A and B in reverse order (4-3-2-1).

B

A 3 2

Secure the positive cable (+) A to the (+) terminal 1 of the discharged battery, then to the (+) terminal 2 of the battery supplying the current. Secure the negative cable (–) B to the (–) terminal 3 of the battery supplying the current and then to the (–) terminal 4 of the discharged battery.

Start the engine of the vehicle supplying the current and run it at an average speed.
