VEHICLE BATTERY
WARNING
Do not operate the vehicle if the fluid in the bat-
tery is low. Low battery fluid can cause ahigher
load on the battery which can generate heat, re-
duce battery life, and in some cases lead to an
explosion.
Checking battery fluid level Check the fluid level in each cell. The battery fluid
level should be between the UPPER LEVEL
➀and
LOWER LEVEL ➁lines.
If it is necessary to add fluid, add only demineralised/
distilled water to bring the level to the indicator in
each filler opening. Do not overfill.
1. Remove the cell plugs ➂using
asuitable tool.
2. Add demineralised/distilled water up to the UP- PER LEVEL ➀line.
If the side of the battery is not clear, check the
distilled water level by looking directly above the
cell; the condition j
Ai ndicates OK and the con-
dition jBn eeds more to be added.
3. Replace and tighten the cell plugs.
• Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under
severe conditions require frequent checks of the
battery fluid level.
• Keep the battery surface clean and dry. Any cor-
rosion should be cleared with
afirmly wrung out
moist cloth.
• Make certain the terminal connections are clean
and securely tightened.
• If the vehicle is not to be used for more than 30
days, disconnect the negative (−) battery termi-
nal cable to prevent battery discharge.
Jump starting
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump starting” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section. If the engine
does not start by jump starting or the battery does not charge, the battery may have to be replaced.
Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop
for replacing the battery.
REMOTE CONTROLLER BATTERY

Remote controller battery replacement
CAUTION
• Be careful not to allow children to swallow the
battery and removed parts.
• An improperly disposed battery can harm the
environment. Always confirm local regulations
for battery disposal.
• When changing batteries, do not let dust or oil
get on the components.
• There is danger of explosion if lithium battery
is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type.
• Do not expose the battery to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire, etc. DI0137MDZ

ENGINE COMPARTMENT
CAUTION
Never use afuse of ahigher or lower amperage
rating than that specified on the fuse box cover.
This could damage the electrical system or cause
af ire.
Never attempt to use other material (wire, alu-
minium foil. etc.) in place of afuse. This could
damage the electrical system or cause afire. The location and the amperage rating of fuses are
shown on the underside of the fuse box lid.
The number of fuses may vary depending on the
features equipped to the vehicle.
If any electrical equipment does not operate, check
for an open fuse.
1. Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF or LOCK
position.
2. Be sure the headlight switch is in the OFF posi- tion.
3. Open the engine bonnet.
4. Remove the fuse/fusible link cover by pushing the tab.
5. Locate the fuse which needs to be replaced.
6. Remove the fuse using the fuse puller located in the passenger compartment fuse box.
7. If the fuse is open j
A, replace it with anew fuse
j B. If the new fuse also opens, after installing, have
the electrical system checked, and if necessary
repaired, by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop.
Fusible links
If any electrical equipment does not operate and the
fuses are in good condition, check the fusible links.
If any of these fusible links are melted, replace only
with genuine replacement parts. NDI1692

Maintenance and do-it-yourself

Refer to the maintenance service booklet for your
vehicle for details of recommended fluids/lubricants
and capacities.
FUEL INFORMATION
Diesel engine*
M9T 2.3DCI engine:
Diesel fuel above 50 cetane and with less than 10
ppm of sulphur (EN590) must be used.
* If two types of diesel fuel are available, use
summer or winter fuel properly according to
the following temperature conditions.
• Above –7°C (20°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
• Below –7°C (20°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
CAUTION
• Do not use home heating oil, petrol or other
alternate fuels in your diesel engine. The use
of those or adding those to diesel fuel can
cause engine damage.
• Do not use summer fuel at temperatures be-
low –7°C (20°F). The cold temperatures will
cause wax to form in the fuel. As
aresult, it
may prevent the engine from running
smoothly. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
(ATF)
Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop if
checking or replacement is required.
CAUTION
• Use only ATF that is recommended in the
Maintenance Service Booklet. Do not mix with
other fluids.
• Using automatic transmission fluid other than
the ATF that is recommended in the Mainte-
nance Service Booklet may cause deteriora-
tion in driveability and automatic transmission
durability and may damage the automatic
transmission. Such damage is not covered by
the warranty.
AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
The air conditioner system of your vehicle must be
charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a) and the lubricant specified in the maintenance service
booklet for your vehicle..
CAUTION
Use of any other refrigerants or lubricants will
cause severe damage, and you may need to re-
place your vehicle’s entire air conditioner sys-
tem. The release of refrigerants into the atmosphere is
prohibited in many countries and regions. The re-
frigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your vehicle will not
harm the Earth’s ozone layer. However, it may con-
tribute in asmall part to the global warming effect.
RENAULT recommends that the refrigerant be ap-
propriately recovered and recycled. Contact an ap-
proved dealer or qualified workshop when servicing
the air conditioner system.
