Checking battery fl\fid level
D\b0137MAType A
SD\b1480Type A
JVM0065XType BCheck the fl\fid level in each cell. The battery fl\fid level
sho\fld be between the UPPER LEVEL*1and
LOWER LEVEL*2lines.
\bf it is necessary to add fl\fid, add only demineralized/
distilled water to bring the level to the indicator in each
filler opening. Do not overfill.
1. Remove the cell pl\fgs
*A, if eq\fipped.
2. Add demineralized/disti\llled water \fp to the UPPER LEVEL
*1line.
3. Replace and tighten the cell pl\fgs.
. Vehicles operated in high temperat\fres or \fnder
severe conditions req\fire freq\fent checks of the
battery fl\fid level.
. Keep the battery s\frface clean and dry. Clean the
battery with a sol\ftion of baking soda and water.
. Make certain the terminal connections are clean
and sec\frely tightened.
. \bf the vehicle is not to be \fsed for more than 30
days, disconnect the negative (í) battery terminal
cable to prevent battery discharge.
. For a maintenance free battery (for Type B) it is not
req\fired to check the fl\fid level. However,
RENAULT recommends to vis\fally check the green indicator
*Bstat\fs periodically. \bf the color
of the indicator is changed, please contact a
RENAULT dealer as soon as possible.
For model with Stop/Start (\bdling Stop) System, see
“J\fmp starting” (P.6-8) .
J\fmp starting
\bf j\fmp starting is necessary, see “J\fmp starting” (P.6-
8) . \bf the engine does not start by j\fmp starting or the
battery does not charge, the battery may have to be
replaced. Contact a RENAULT dealer for replacing the
battery.

Battery replacement
CAUTION:
. Be careful not to allow children to swallow
the battery and removed parts.
. An improperly disposed battery can harm
the environment. Always confirm local reg-
ulations for battery disposal.
. When changing batteries, do not let dust or
oil get on the components.
. There is danger of explosion if lithium
battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type.

and then push the\f together until it is securely
closed

5. Operate the buttons to check its operation.
See a RENAULT dealer if you need assistance for
replace\fent.
CAUTION:
. Do not ground accessories directly to the
battery terminal. Doing so will bypass the
variable voltage control system and the
vehicle battery may not charge completely.
. Use electrical accessories with the engine
running to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
Your vehicle is equipped with a variable voltage control
syste\f. This syste\f \feasures the a\fount of electrical
discharge fro\f the battery and controls voltage
generated by the alternator.

NOTE:
The extended storage fuse switch is used for
long term vehicle storage. If the extended
storage fuse switch is broken, it is not necessary
to replace it. Remove the fuse from the switch
then replace only the fuse to the fuse box.
How to remove the extended storage fuse
switch:
1. To remove the extended storage \fuse swit\bh, besure the ignition swit\bh is in the “OFF” or “LOCK”
position.
2. Be sure the headlight swit\bh is in the “OFF” position.
3. Remove the \fuse box \bover.
4. Pin\bh the storage \fuse swit\bh and pull it in the dire\btion o\f the arrow.HEADLIGHTS
Fog may temporarily \form inside the lens o\f the exterior
lights in the rain or in a \bar wash. A temperature
di\f\feren\be between the inside and the outside o\f the
lens \bauses the \fog. This is not a mal\fun\btion. I\f large
drops o\f water \bolle\bt inside the lens, \bonta\bt a
RENAULT dealer.
Repla\bing halogen headlight bulb
The halogen headlight is a semi-sealed beam type
whi\bh uses repla\beable headlight (halogen) bulbs.
They \ban be repla\bed \from inside the engine \bompart-
ment without removing the headlight assembly.
CAUTION:
.High-pressure halogen gas is sealed inside
the bulb. The bulb may break if the glass
envelope is scratched or the bulb is dropped.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Gasoli\fe e\fgi\fe (\bodel with three–way
catalyst)
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gaso-
line will damage the three-way catalyst.
Except for Europe, Thaila\fd a\fd Chi\fa: Use UN-
LEADED REGULAR gasoli\fe of at least 91 octa\fe
(RON) .
For Europe: Use UNLEADED PREMIUM gasoli\fe of at
least 95 octa\fe (RON) .
If u\fleaded pre\biu\b gasoli\fe is \fot used, UNLEADED
REGULAR gasoli\fe with a\f octa\fe rati\fg of at least 91
(RON) \bay be used at slightly reduced perfor\ba\fce.
However, for \baxi\bu\b vehicle perfor\ba\fce a\fd the
best driveability, the use of u\fleaded pre\biu\b gasoli\fe
is reco\b\be\fded.
For Thaila\fd: Use UNLEADED REGULAR gasoli\fe or
gasohol (up to E20*) of at least 91 octa\fe (RON) .
*: Gasohol is alcohol ble\fded gasoli\fe. For exa\bple,
“E20” is a \bixture of approxi\bately 20% fuel etha\fol
a\fd 80% u\fleaded gasoli\fe.
For Chi\fa: Use UNLEADED REGULAR gasoli\fe of at
least 93 octa\fe (RON) .
Your vehicle co\bplies with GB18352.3-2005. Use
u\fleaded gasoli\fe with a\f octa\fe rati\fg 93 (RON) or
above a\fd \fatio\fal III or IV e\bissio\f sta\fdard
co\bplia\ft. If other types of gasoli\fe are used, it will
reduce the perfor\ba\fce of the vehicle’s e\bissio\f
co\ftrol syste\b a\fd the Malfu\fctio\f I\fdicator Light
(MIL) will illu\bi\fate.
Diesel e\fgi\fe*
Diesel fuel of at least 50 ceta\fe*
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use su\b\ber or wi\fter
fuel properly accordi\fg to the followi\fg te\bperature co\fdi-
tio\fs.
. Above í78C (208F) ... Su\b\ber type diesel fuel.
. Below í78C (208F) ... Wi\fter type diesel fuel.
CAUTION:
.Do not use home heating oil, gasoline or
other alternate fuels in your diesel engine.
The use of those or adding those to diesel
fuel can cause engine damage.
. Do not use summer fuel at temperatures
below í78C (208F) . The cold temperatures
will cause wax to form in the fuel. As a
result, it may prevent the engine from
running smoothly.
RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY NUM-

ANT AND LUB\fICANT
The air conditioner system of your vehicle must be
charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a (\f134a) and
the lubricant approved by our technical department or
equivalents. Use of any other refrigerants or lubricants
will cause severe damage, and you may need to
replace your vehicle’s entire air conditioner system.
The release of refrigerants into the atmosphere is
prohibited in many countries and regions. The refrig-
erant HFC-134a (\f-134a) in your vehicle will not harm
the \barth’s ozone layer. However, it may contribute in a
small part to the global warming effect. \f\bNAULT
recommends that the refrigerant be appropriately
recovered and recycled. Contact a \f\bNAULT dealer
when servicing the air conditioner system.

*1: Except for 175/6\fR15 tire model
*2: For 175/6\fR15 tire model When planning to travel in another country or
region,
find out whether the fuel required for your
vehicle is available in that country or region. Using a
low octane rated fuel may cause engine damage.
Therefore, be sure that the required fuel is available
wherever you go. For additional information regarding
recommended fuel, see earlier in this section.
When transferring the registration of your vehi-
cle to another country, state, province or district,
contact the appropriate authorities to find out that the
vehicle complies with the local legal requirements. In
some cases, a vehicle cannot meet the legal require-
ments, and it may be necessary to modify the vehicle to
meet local laws and regulations. In addition, there may
be possibilities that a vehicle cannot be adapted in
certain areas.
The laws and regulations for motor vehicle emission
control and safety standards vary according to the
country, state, province or district; therefore, the
vehicle specification may differ.
When any vehicles are to be taken into another
country, state, province or district, its modifica-
tion, transportation, registration, and any other
expenses which may result, are the responsi-
bility of the user. RENAULT is not responsible for
any inconveniences that may result.
