TRANSPORTING OBJECTS IN THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
Always place objects carried in the
luggage compartment so that their
largest dimension is against:
- the back of the rear bench seat, for
normal loading.
- the folded down seat, for
maximum loading.
Always put the heaviest
items directly onto the
floor. When the vehicle is
fitted with them, use the
lashing points located on the floor
at the rear to secure transported
items. Luggage should be loaded in
such a way that no item will be
thrown forward and strike the
occupants if the driver has to brake
suddenly. Fasten the rear seat belts,
even if the seats are not occupied.

discolour paintwork and may
even cause the paint to peel off;
The vehiclemustbe washed
immediately to remove these
marks since they cannot be
removed by polishing;
- salt from the wheel arches and
under the body, after the vehicle
has been driven in areas where
the roads are chemically treated;

the wheel arches and under the
body.• Keep well away from the vehicle
in front when driving on a freshly
laid surface to avoid damage to
your paintwork.
• Have patches where the paint has
been damaged repaired quickly to
avoid corrosion spreading.
• If your vehicle is covered by the
Renault anti-corrosion warranty,
remember to visit the bodyshop
periodically. Refer to your vehicle’s
Warranty and Servicing booklet.
• Respect local regulations relating
to washing your vehicle (e.g. do
not wash your vehicle on a public
highway).• Before using a revolving brush
type car wash, check the mounting
of exterior equipment, additional
headlights and rear view mirrors.
Secure the wiper blades and radio
aerial with adhesive tape.
Remove the car phone aerial if the
vehicle has one.
• If mechanical components such
as hinges have to be cleaned, their
protection must be reapplied by
spraying on products approved
by Renault's Technical Department.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle which

BATTERY: breakdown(continued)
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.
Both 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.
A frozen 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.
Start the engine of the vehicle
supplying the current and run it at
average speed.Secure the positive cable (+)Ato
the (+) terminal1of the discharged
battery then to (+) terminal2of the
battery supplying the current.
Secure the negative cable (–)Bto
the (–) terminal3of the battery
supplying the current then to the (–)
terminal4of the discharged battery.Check that there is no contact
between cablesAandBand that
cableAis not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Start the engine as you would
normally. As soon as it starts,
disconnect cablesAandBin the
reverse order (4-3-2-1).
Handle the battery with
care since it contains
sulphuric acid which
must never come into
contact with eyes or skin. If it
does, wash with plenty of water.
Keep all flames, light sources
and sparks away from the
battery: risk of explosion.
Take care when working in the
engine compartment as the
engine cooling fan may cut in at
any moment without warning.
