EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL
Emergency spare wheel2
This is located in the luggage
compartment.
To reach the emergency spare
wheel:
• Open the tailgate.
• Lift the luggage compartment
carpet using circular cut-out1.
If the spare wheel has
been stored for several
years, have it checked by
your Dealer to ensure
that it is safe to use.• Slacken central fastener3.
• Remove the tool kit4.
• Release the emergency spare
wheel2.Certain versions are fitted with a
limited use emergency spare wheel
which has restrictive conditions of
use, shown on a label indicating:
50 mph (80 km/h) maximum.
The emergency spare wheel must only be
used for a short period, and only if a wheel
needs to be changed. You must not drive
faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) and you must
not drive with more than one emergency
spare wheel fitted.
These conditions of use must be observed for
your safety.
Special note for limited use emergency spare
wheel. This cannot be fitted with chains.
If a puncture occurs on a front wheel, one of
the rear wheelsmustbe fitted in place of the
punctured front wheel and the emergency
spare wheel fitted in place of the rear wheel.

emergency spare wheel. It contains
a set of tools for various operations
on the vehicle: jack, wheelbrace,
screwdriver, towing ring, etc. and a
location for a set of bulbs.Wheelbrace9
Jack8
When replacing the jack, fold it
down completely before putting it
back into position.
The jack is designed for
changing a wheel. Under
no circumstances should
it be used for carrying out
repairs or to gain access under
the vehicle.
Embellisher spanner2
This is used to unclip the wheel
embellishers.
Wheel spanner4
This is used to lock or release the
wheel bolts.
Wheel bolt guide/Screwdriver

CHANGING A WHEEL
•Remove the wheel embellisher
(see section on embellishers).
• Use the wheelbrace1to loosen
the wheel bolts slightly. Fit it so
that you press downwards and
not upwards.
• Offer up the jack horizontally, the
jack head must be slid
underneath the jacking point
under the body, nearest the wheel
concerned.
• Screw up the jack by hand at first
to align the base plate (which
should be inclined further
inwards than the jack head). Use a
piece of wood under the base
plate if on soft ground.• Insert the end of the wheelbrace2
into the jack3and turn a few
times to lift the wheel off the
ground:
• Remove the bolts.
• Take off the wheel.
• Position the emergency spare
wheel on the central hub and turn
it to locate the mounting holes in
the wheel and the hub.
• Tighten the bolts and lower the
jack.
• Tighten the bolts fully when the
wheel is on the ground.Park your vehicle on firm,
flat ground (if necessary,
placing a plank under the
base of the jack).
Switch on the hazard warning
lights.
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse, orPon an
automatic gearbox).
Ask all the passengers to get out of
the vehicle and keep them away
from moving traffic.
If you have a puncture,
replace the wheel as soon
as possible.
A tyre which has been
punctured should always be
inspected (and repaired if possible)
by a specialist.

TYRES(continued)
Tyre inflation pressures
Tyre inflation pressures must be
adhered to. (Remember to check the
emergency spare wheel at the same
time.) Inflation pressures must be
checked at least once a month and
always before a long journey. (Refer
to the section on “Tyre inflation
pressures”.)
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre
wear and unusually hot
running. Factors which may
seriously affect safety and lead
to:
- poor roadholding
- possibility of blow-outs or of
throwingatreadathighspeed.
Inflation pressures depend on
the load and the driving speed.
Adjust the pressures according
to the conditions of use. (Refer to
the section on tyre inflation
pressures.)Inflation pressures should be
checked when the tyres are cold;
ignore higher pressures which may
be reached in hot weather or
following a fast journey. If tyre
inflation pressures cannot be
checked when the tyres arecold,
take into account an increase of0.2
to0.3bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Note:A label (depending on country
or version) stuck on the edge or
frame of the driver’s door gives the
recommended tyre inflation
pressures.
Replacing 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.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
emergency spare wheel and
instructions on how to change a
wheel in section 5.

TYRES(continued)
Use in winter
• Chains
For safety reasons, chains must
never be fitted to the wheels on
the rear axle.
Chains must not be fittedto 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 toyour vehicle.
Special note for limited use
emergency spare wheel
Thiscannot be fitted with
chains.
If a puncture occurs on a front
wheel, one of the rear wheels
mustbe fitted in place of the
punctured front wheel and the
emergency spare wheel fitted in
place of the rear wheel.• “Snow” or winter tyres
We recommend that these are fitted
toall four wheelsto ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum road
holding.
Note:These tyres 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 wheels.
In all cases, we 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.
