Consult your Renault Dealer.
Additional headlights
If you wish to fit fog lights or long
range headlights to your car, consult
a Renault Dealer.
Any operation on (or
modification to) the
electrical system must be
performed by a Renault
Dealer since incorrect
connections might damage the
electrical installations (harness,
units and, in particular, the
alternator). In addition, your
Dealer has available all the parts
necessary for fitting these units.

FUSES
Fuse box1
If an incident occurs in an electrical
component, check first of all that
the fuses are sound. Also make sure
that the faulty component is
correctly connected. If a short
circuit occurs, unscrew one of the
wing nuts on the battery posts to
isolate the battery.
Open the cover2(under the steering
wheel).To identify the fuses, refer to label4
(shown on the page opposite).
It is advisable not to use the free
fuse locations.
Check the fuse in
question andreplace it,
if necessary,with a fuse
which must be of the
same rating as the original fuse
If a fuse is fitted where the rating
is too high, it may cause the
electrical circuit to overheat (risk
offire)intheeventofanitemof
equipment using an excessive
amount of current.
CORRECT INCORRECT
Use tweezers3to remove the fuse.
Toremovethefusefromthe
tweezers, slide the fuse to the side.
A wise precaution:
Obtain a box of spare bulbs and
fuses from your Renault Dealer.

BATTERY(breakdown)
In the event of an incident
Isolate the battery by unscrewing
one of the terminals.
To avoid all risk of sparks
- Ensure the “accessories” are
disconnected before disconnecting
or reconnecting the battery.
- When charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
- Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short
circuit between the terminals.
Take care when moving
the battery as it contains
sulphuric acid which
must not come into
contact with the eyes or skin. If it
should, wash the affected area
with plenty of cold water.
Keep all flames, red-hot objects
and sparks away from the battery
as there is a risk of explosion.
Take care when working in the
engine compartment as the
cooling fan may cut in at any
time without warning if the
engine is hot.
Connecting a battery charger
Both battery leads must be
disconnected (with the engine
switched off).
Do not disconnect the battery when
the engine is running.
Follow the instructions for use
given by the manufacturer of the
battery charger you are using.
Only a well-charged and
well-maintained battery will have a
long and useful life and enable you
to start the vehicle’s engine
normally.
The battery must be kept clean and
dry.
Have the battery's charge status
checked regularly:
• especially if you use your vehicle
for short journeys or for frequent
driving in the town;
• When the external temperature
drops (in winter),the charge
decreases. In winter, only use
those electrical components
which are really necessary.• Finally, you should understand
that the charge decreases
naturally as a result of certain
permanent consumers such as the
clock, after sales accessories...
