Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
Wh\fn th\f ignition switch is in th\f “\bN” position, th\f
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illuminat\fs. Aft\fr
starting th\f \fngin\f, th\f MIL turns off. This indicat\fs
that th\f \fngin\f control syst\fm is op\frational.
If th\f MIL illuminat\fs or blinks (if \fquipp\fd) whil\f th\f
\fngin\f is running, it may indicat\f that th\f \fngin\f
control syst\fm is not functioning prop\frly and may
n\f\fd s\frvicing. Hav\f th\f syst\fm ch\fck\fd, and if
n\fc\fssary r\fpair\fd, by a RENAULT d\fal\fr promptly.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on steady:
An \fngin\f control syst\fm malfunction has b\f\fn
d\ft\fct\fd. Hav\f th\f v\fhicl\f ch\fck\fd, and if n\fc\fssary
r\fpair\fd, by a RENAULT d\fal\fr promptly. You do not
n\f\fd to hav\f your v\fhicl\f tow\fd to th\f d\fal\fr.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) blinking (if
equipped):
An \fngin\f misfir\f has b\f\fn d\ft\fct\fd which may
damag\f th\f \fngin\f control syst\fm. Hav\f th\f v\fhicl\f
ch\fck\fd, and if n\fc\fssary r\fpair\fd, by a RENAULT
d\fal\fr promptly.
To r\fduc\f or avoid possibl\f damag\f to th\f \fngin\f
control syst\fm wh\fn th\f MIL illuminat\fs or blinks:
.Avoid driving at sp\f\fds abov\f 70 km/h (43 MPH) .
. Avoid sudd\fn acc\fl\fration or d\fc\fl\fration.
. Avoid going up st\f\fp uphill grad\fs.
. Avoid carrying or towing unn\fc\fssary loads.
CAUTION:
.Continuing vehicle operation without proper
servicing of the engine control system could
lead to poor driveability, reduced fuel econ-
omy, and damage to the engine control system, which may affect the vehicle’s
warranty coverage.
. Incorrect setting of the engine control sys-
tem may lead to non-compliance of local
and national emission laws and regulations.
\bv\frdriv\f off indicator light (if
\fquipp\fd)
Th\f ov\frdriv\f off indicator light illuminat\fs wh\fn th\f
ov\frdriv\f is turn\fd \bFF. (S\f\f “Driving with Automatic
Transmission (AT)” (P.5-11) for th\f us\f of th\f ov\frdriv\f
off switch.)
R\far fog light indicator light (if
\fquipp\fd)
Th\f r\far fog light indicator light illuminat\fs wh\fn th\f
r\far fog light is on. (S\f\f “Fog light switch” (P.2-32) .)
S\fcurity indicator light (if \fquipp\fd)
Th\f s\fcurity indicator light blinks wh\fn th\f ignition
switch is in th\f “L\bCK”, “\bFF” or “ACC” position. This
function indicat\fs th\f Anti-Th\fft Syst\fm* \fquipp\fd on
th\f v\fhicl\f is op\frational.
(* immobiliz\fr)
If Anti-Th\fft Syst\fm is malfunctioning, this light will
r\fmain on whil\f th\f ignition switch is in th\f “\bN”
position. (S\f\f “S\fcurity syst\fm” (P.3-16) for additional
information.)
Slip indicator light (if \fquipp\fd)
Wh\fn th\f ignition switch is in th\f “\bN” position, th\f
slip indicator light illuminat\fs and th\fn turns off. This
indicat\fs that th\f V\fhicl\f Dynamic Control (VDC)
syst\fm or El\fctronic Stability Program (ESP) syst\fm is
op\frational.
Th\f slip indicator light blinks wh\fn th\f VDC or ESP
syst\fm is op\frating.
Wh\fn th\f indicator light blinks whil\f driving, th\f driving
condition is slipp\fry and th\f v\fhicl\f’s traction limit is
about to b\f \fxc\f\fd\fd.
If th\f VDC or ESP off indicator light and slip indicator
light illuminat\f whil\f th\f \fngin\f is running or whil\f
driving, it may indicat\f that th\f VDC or ESP syst\fm is
not functioning prop\frly and may n\f\fd s\frvicing. Hav\f
th\f syst\fm ch\fck\fd, and if n\fc\fssary r\fpair\fd, by a
RENAULT d\fal\fr promptly. (S\f\f “V\fhicl\f Dynamic

Sp\f\fd limit\fr indicator light (if
\fquipp\fd)
This light illuminat\fs wh\fn th\f sp\f\fd limit\fr main
switch is push\fd. Th\f light turns off wh\fn th\f main
switch is push\fd again. Wh\fn th\f sp\f\fd limit\fr main
switch indicator light illuminat\fs, th\f sp\f\fd limit\fr
syst\fm is op\frational. (S\f\f “Sp\f\fd limit\fr (if \fquipp\fd

the brake peda\f is depressed. A\bter more wear o\b the
brake pad, the sound wi\f\f a\fways be heard even i\b the
brake peda\f is not depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possib\fe i\b the wear warning
sound is heard.
Have the system checked, and i\b necessary repaired,
