Washer operation
To operate the washer, push the lever toward the front
of the vehi\fle*3until the desired amount of washer
fluid is spread on the rear window. The wiper will
automati\fally operate several times.
\bIC4127Type A
\bIC4145Type BThe rear window defogger swit\fh operates when the
ignition swit\fh is in the “ON” position.
The defogger is used to redu\fe the moisture, fog or
frost on the rear window surfa\fe and outside door
mirror surfa\fe (if equipped) to improve the rear view.
When the defogger swit\fh
*1is pushed, the indi\fator
light*2illuminates and the defogger operates for
approximately 15 minutes. After the preset time has
passed, the defogger will turn off automati\fally.
To turn off the defogger manually, push the defogger
swit\fh again.
CAUTION:
. When operating the defogger continuously,
be sure to start the engine. Otherwise, it may
cause the battery to discharge.
. When cleaning the inner side of the window,
be careful not to scratch or damage the
electrical conductors on the surface of the
window.
NOTE:
When the rear defogger is turned on, the Stop/
Start (Idling Stop) System (if equipped) will not
be activated.

Tires*:
Check the pressure with a gauge often and alwa\fs
prior to long distance trips. If necessar\f, ad\bust the
pressure in all tires, including the spare, to the
pressure specified. Check carefull\f for damage, cuts
or excessive wear.
Tire rotation*:
Tires should be rotated ever\f 10,000 km (6,000
miles) . However, the timing for tire rotation ma\f var\f
according to \four driving habits and the road surface
conditions.
Wheel alignment and balance (for Europe):
If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on
a straight and level road, or if \fou detect uneven or
abnormal tire wear, there ma\f be a need for wheel
alignment.
If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highwa\f
speeds, wheel balancing ma\f be needed.
Windshield:
Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the
windshield at least ever\f six months for cracks or other
damage. Have a damaged windshield repaired b\f a
qualified repair facilit\f.
Wiper blades*:
Check for cracks or wear if the\f do not wipe properl\f.
Inside vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be checked
on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic
maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.Accelerator pedal:
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure
that the pedal does not catch or require uneven effort.
Keep the floor mats awa\f from the pedal.
Brake pedal*:
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure
that it has the proper distance under it when
depressed full\f. Check the brake booster function.
Keep the floor mats awa\f from the pedal.
Parking brake*:
Check that the pedal/lever has the proper distance of
travel.
Seat belts:
Check that all parts of the seat belt s\fstem (for
example, buckles, anchors, ad\busters and retractors)
operate properl\f and smoothl\f, and that the\f are
installed securel\f. Check the belt webbing for cuts,
fra\fing, wear or damage.
Steering wheel:
Check for changes in the steering conditions, such as
excessive free pla\f, hard steering or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes:
Make sure that all warning lights and chimes are
operating properl\f.
Windshield defogger:
Check that the air comes out of the defogger outlets
properl\f and in good quantit\f when operating the
heater or air conditioner.
Windshield wiper and washer*:
Check that the wipers and washer operate properl\f
and that the wipers do not streak.
Under hood and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be checked
periodicall\f (for example, each time \fou check the
engine oil or refuel) .
Battery*:
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between
the UPPER and LOWER levels. Vehicles operated in
high temperatures or under severe conditions require
frequent checks of the batter\f fluid level.
Brake and clutch fluid level*:
Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid level is
between the MAX and MIN lines on the reservoir.
Engine coolant level*:
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belts*:
Make sure the drive belts are not fra\fed, worn, cracked
or oil\f.
Engine oil level*:
Check the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle
on a level surface and turning off the engine.
Fluid leaks:
Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid
leaks after the vehicle has been parked for a while.
Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If \fou should notice an\f leaks or if fuel fumes
are evident, check for the cause and have it corrected
immediatel\f.

M\bINTEN\bNCE PREC\bUTIONS
When performing any inspection or maintenance work
on your \fehicle, always take care to pre\fent serious
accidental injury to yourself or damage to the \fehicle.
The following are general precautions which should be
closely obser\fed.
WARNING:
.Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the
parking brake securely and block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from moving. Move
the selector lever to the “P”(Park) position
or the shift lever to the “N”(Neutral) position.
. Be sure the ignition switch is in the “OFF”or
“LOCK” position when performing any parts
replacement or repairs.
. Do not work under the hood while the
engine is hot. Always turn off the engine
and wait until it cools down.
. If you must work with the engine running,
keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools
away from moving fans, belts and any other
moving parts.
. It is advisable to secure or remove any loose
clothing and any jewelry, such as rings,
watches, etc. before working on your vehi-
cle.
. If you must run the engine in an enclosed
space such as a garage, be sure there is
proper ventilation for exhaust gases to
escape. .
Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported by a jack.
. Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks
away from fuel and the battery.
. Never connect or disconnect either the
battery or any transistorized component
connector while the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position.
. On gasoline engine models with the Multi-
port Fuel Injection (MFI) system, the fuel
filter and fuel lines should be serviced by a
RENAULT dealer because the fuel lines are
under high pressure even when the engine is
turned off.
. Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
engine cooling fan. It may come on at any
time without warning, even if the ignition
switch is in the “OFF” position and the
engine is not running. To avoid injury, always
disconnect the negative battery cable before
working near the fan.
. Always wear eye protection whenever you
work on your vehicle.
. Never leave the engine or the transmission
related component harness connector dis-
connected while the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position.
. Avoid direct contact with used engine oil and
coolant. Improperly disposed engine oil,
engine coolant, and/or other vehicle fluids
can hurt the environment. Always conform to
local regulations for disposal of vehicle
fluids.
This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section
pro\fides instructions regarding only those items which are relati\fely easy for an owner to perform.
You should be aware that incomplete or improper
ser\ficing may result in operating difficulties or ex-
cessi\fe emissions, and could affect your warranty
co\ferage.
If in doubt about any servicing, have it
done by a RENAULT dealer.

WARNING:
Anti-freeze is poisonous and should be stored
carefully in marked containers out of the reach
of children.
Type \f: Che\bk the fluid level in the window washer
reservoir. If the fluid level is low, add window washer
fluid up to the M\fX level.
Type B: To \bhe\bk the fluid level, use your finger to plug
the \benter hole
*1of the \bap/tube assembly, then
remove it from the reservoir. If there is no fluid in the
tube, add fluid. \fdd a washer solvent to the water for better \bleaning.
In the winter season, add a windshield washer anti-
freeze. Follow the manufa\bturer’s instru\btions for the
mixture ratio.
