ENGINE OIL LEVEL / ENGINE OIL CHANGE
It is normal for an engine to use oil
for lubrication and cooling of
moving parts and it is sometimes
necessary to top up the level
between oil changes.
However, if more than 0.5 litre is
used every 625 miles (1000 km)
after the running in period, consult
your Renault Dealer.
Oil change frequency: Check the oil
level from time to time and
certainly before any long journey,
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
For approximately 30 seconds after
the ignition has been switched on:
-if the level is correct,thedisplay
will show “oil OK”: display
message1
Special note:for more accurate
level information press the trip
mileage reset button or the
information scroll button on the
on-board computer during these
30 seconds.The squares which appear on the
display indicate the level. The
number of squares displayed is
reduced 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 the warning light
lights up on the instrument panel.

the brake pads become worn but it
should never fall below the“MIN”
line.Topping up
After any operation on the
hydraulic circuit, a specialist must
replace the brake fluid.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
Protection against the action of
corrosive agents
Although your car has been treated
with very effective anti-corrosion
products, it nevertheless remains
subject to the action of:
•Corrosives in the atmosphere
- Atmospheric pollution (built-up
and industrial areas).
- Saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather).
- Seasonal and humid climatic
conditions, especially road salt
in winter.
•Abrasives
Wind-carried dust and sand,
mud, road grit thrown up by other
vehicles.
•Minor impacts
A minimum amount of protection is
necessary to guard your car against
such risks so as not to lose the
benefit of these developments.
What you should not do
•Wash the vehicle in bright
sunlight or freezing temperatures.
• Scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
• Allow external dirt to
accumulate.
• Allow rust to form following
minor impacts.
• Use solvents not approved by our
Technical Department to remove
spotsasthiscoulddamagethe
paintwork.
• Drive frequently in snow or
muddy conditions without
periodically washing the car,
particularly under the wheel
arches and body.• Degrease or clean mechanical
components (e.g. engine
compartment), underneath the
bodywork, parts with hinges (e.g.
inside the fuel tank flap) and
painted plastic external fittings
(e.g. bumpers) using high-
pressure cleaning apparatus or by
spraying on products not
approved by Renault’s Technical
Department as this could give rise
to corrosion or incorrect
operation.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE(continued)
What you should do
•Wash your car frequently,
preferably using our
recommended cleaning products
and use a high-pressure jet to
rinse off the underside of the car
and the wheel arches in particular
to get rid of:
- Spots of tree resin and industrial
grime.
-Bird droppingswhich contain
chemical products which
rapidly discolour paintwork
and may even cause the paint to
peel off:the vehicle must be
washed immediately to remove
thesemarkssinceitis
impossible to remove them by
polishing.
- Salt deposited in the wheel
arches and underneath the body
after driving in areas where the
roads are chemically treated.
- Mud in the wheel arches and
under the body which forms
damp patches.• Keep well away from the vehicle
in front when driving on freshly
laid surfaces to prevent paint
damage.
• Repair, or have repaired quickly
patches where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading.
• If your vehicle is protected by the
Renault anti-corrosion warranty,
remember to visit the body shop
periodically. Consult the
anti-corrosion booklet.
• Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not
wash your vehicle on a public
highway).• Check the fixing of external
accessories, additional driving
lights, exterior rear view mirrors,
etc. and attach the windscreen
wiper arms and radio aerial with
adhesive tape before entering a
revolving brush type car wash.
If your vehicle has a car phone,
remove the aerial.
• If mechanical components 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
and you can obtain these from
Renault accessory outlets.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE
Whatever type of stain is on the
trim, use soapy water (if necessary,
with warm water) based on:
• natural soap,
• washing up liquid (with one part
washing up liquid to 200 parts of
water).
Rinse off with a soft, damp cloth.
Special instructions
• Glass instrument panel(e.g.
instrument display, clock,
exterior temperature display,
radio display).
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean the glass, use
a soft cloth which has been
slightly moistened with soapy
water and then wipe clean with a
soft, damp cloth.
Finally,carefullydry off with a
soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning products containing
alcohol are not to be used.• Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our
Technical Department or warm
soapy water using a sponge and
dry off with a dry cloth.
Do not use cleaning agents or dyes.
