c) Oil change interval
Distance remaining until the next service (displayed in
miles/kilometres and months), then when the service
nears, several scenarios are possible:
– distance/time remaining less than 900 miles
(1,500 km) or one month: the message “Service due
in” is displayed accompanied by the nearest term (dis-
tance or time);
– distance/time remaining 0 km/miles or service date
reached: the message “Service required ” is displayed
accompanied by warning light
©.
The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.
Service in
30000km /24 MONTHS Service due in
100km
Service due in 10 days
NB: depending on the vehicle, the service interval varies according to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed, door-to-
door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing a trailer etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change can therefore
decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance travelled.
The oil change intervals are independent of the vehicle’s maintenance schedule: please refer to your vehicle’s Maintenance
Service Booklet.
Resetting: to reset the oil change interval, press and hold one of the display reset buttons for approximately 10 seconds until
the display shows the interval permanently.

ADVICe: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. however (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– 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.
tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.

In vehicles fitted with air condi -
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es -
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo -
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.

Towing
tOwIng : breakdown (1/2)
Before towing, insert the key in the
switch or the RENAULT card in the
reader to unlock the steering column:
depress the clutch pedal, select first
gear (lever in position n or r for vehi-
cles with an automatic gearbox).
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi -
tion N for vehicles fitted with an auto -
matic transmission)
The steering column is unlocked, power
is supplied to the accessory functions:
the vehicle lights can be used (hazard
warning lights, brake lights etc.). At
night the vehicle must have its lights on.
Once you have finished towing, press
the engine start button twice (risk of
running down the battery). The speed specified by current legis
-
lation for towing must always be ob -
served. If your vehicle is the towing
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum
towing weight for your vehicle (refer
to the information on “Weights” in
Section 6).
t owing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the trans-
mission is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the front wheels
off the ground.
u nder exceptional circumstances,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going for -
ward, with the gear lever in the n posi-
tion, and for a distance not exceeding
50 miles (80 km).
If the lever is stuck in P,
even though you are de -
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually. To do this, insert a rigid
rod in the hole 2, press the rod and
unlocking button 1 located on the
lever simultaneously.

Towing weights
Weights (in kg)
the weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary depending on the your vehicle’s equipment. consult
your approved dealer.
maximum permissible all-up weight (mmac)
gross t rain Weight (mtR) Weights are indicated on the vehicle identification plate (refer to
the information on “Vehicle identification plates” in Section 6)
Braked trailer weight* found by calculating:mtR - mmac
Unbraked trailer weight* 650
permissible nose weight* 75
permissible load on the roof with the carrying device 80 kg (including the carrying device)
* t owing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the MTR - MMAC calculation is equal to zero, or when the MTR is equal to zero (or is not listed) on the
identification plate.
– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in
the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is
permitted:
– rear axle MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%,
– maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reached first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressures must
be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10%
at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 m\
etres thereafter.
