AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
OUsing recirculated air
Press button6;the
indicator light will come on.
In this position the air is taken
from inside the passenger
compartment and is recirculated
without admitting external air.
Recirculation of air allows the
external atmosphere to be
isolated (driving in polluted
areas).Prolonged use of the air
recirculation mode may cause the
windows to mist up or lead to
odours, as the air is not renewed.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) by
pressing button6as soon as air
recirculation is no longer required.
Special instructions
Switching on air recirculation
automatically switches on the air
conditioning.
The function operates periodically
if the external temperature is lower
than approximately 10°C; the
indicator light on button6will go
out after a few minutes.
The function operates permanently
if the external temperature is above
approximately 10°C; press button6
to switch off.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
An engine uses oil for lubrication
and to coolmoving parts and it is
sometimes necessary to top up the
level between oil changes.
However, consult your Renault
Dealer if more than 0.5 litre is
being consumed every 625 miles
(1000 km) after the running-in
period.
Oil change frequency: Check the oil
level from time to time and always
before long journeys, to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The car must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
reading.
The oil level can be read:
- on the instrument panel;
- using the dipstick.Reading the level on the instrument
panel
When ignition has been switched
on for approximately 30 seconds:
-if the level is correct, the display
will show “oil OK”: display
message1
Special note:To gain a more
precise indication of the level,
press the trip mileage counter
reset button or the information
scroll button on the on-board
computer.The squares which appear on the
display indicate the level. The
number of squares displayed
decreases as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by a dash: display
message2.
To move to on-board computer
reading, press the button again.
-When the minimum oil level is
reached,the dashes and the word
“Oil” flash, and the word “OK”
disappears (display message3)
and some versions
lights up on the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon
as possible.

LEVELS
Brake fluid
This must be checked frequently,
especially if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
Level1
The level falls naturally as the brake
pads wear, but it should never be
allowed to fall below the
MINIMUMwarning mark.Topping up
After any operation on the
hydraulic circuit, a specialist must
replace the brake fluid.
Only use fluids approved by
RENAULT’s Technical Department
and which have been taken from a
sealed container.
Fluid change frequency:Refer to
the servicing booklet for your
vehicle.
Take care when working
under the bonnet as the
engine cooling fan may cut
in at any moment.
