spare wheel RENAULT SCENIC 2016 J95 / 3.G Owners Manual

2.20
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principleEach wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure. The system informs
the driver via the on-board compu-
ter 1 that the tyres are sufficiently in-
flated and warns if they are underinfla-
ted or leaking. The warning light

comes on to warn the driver if the pres-
sure is too low. It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
With the ignition on:
– make short presses on the con-
trol 2 to select the tyre pressure
display (please refer to “On-board
Computer” in Section 1);
– press and hold (around three sec- onds) the control 2 to launch initial-
isation. Flashing tyres followed by
the message “Pressure ref ongoing”
means that the request to learn the
reference pressures has been taken
into account;
– reset can take several minutes of dri- ving.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vi-
gilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (1/4)
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping wheels over (how- ever this practice is not recom-
mended);
– after changing a wheel.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (2/4)
« Adjust tyre pressure »
A wheel A shown in orange on the dis-
play 4 together with the warning light
 indicates a flat tyre.
Check and, if necessary, readjust the
pressures of the four wheels when cold.
While driving the warning light 3

goes off after a few minutes.
DisplayThe display 4 and the warning light 3
 on the instrument panel warns
you of any inflation faults (flat tyre,
puncture, system fault, etc.).
34
A
The sudden loss of pressure in a
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.For your safety, the warning light ® requires you to stop immedia-
tely as soon as traffic conditions allow.
« Puncture »
The affected wheel A appears red on
the display 4 along with the warning
light 3
 and a beep. They indicate
that the affected wheel is punctured
or severely underinflated. Replace it
or contact an authorised dealer if it is
punctured. Top up the tyre pressure if
the wheel is deflated. This message
appears along with the
® warn-
ing light.
« Check tyre pressure sensors »
The affected wheel A is shown in white
on the display 4 together with the
flashing warning light 3
 and the
warning light
©. This message ap-
pears when at least one wheel fitted on
the vehicle does not have a sensor (e.g.
emergency spare wheel). Otherwise,
consult an authorised dealer.

2.22
Readjustment of tyre
pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted
when cold (please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when they are cold, the recommended
pressures should be increased by 0.2
to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Tyre repair product and
inflation kit
Because the valves are specially desi-
gned, only use equipment approved by
the approved network.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (3/4)
Interchangeability of wheels
If you want to swap the wheels round,
consult an authorised dealer to reinitia-
lise the system.
Each of the sensors incor-
porated in the valves 5 is
dedicated to a single wheel:
under no circumstances
should you swap the wheels, with-
out resetting the system.
There is a risk of incorrect informa-
tion which could have serious con-
sequences.

Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Contact an approved Dealer to fit new
tyres and to find out about available ac-
cessories compatible with the system
and available from your dealer net-
work: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the
system or damage a sensor.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency spare wheel, it will not have a
sensor. When it is fitted to the vehicle,
the message “Check tyre pressure sen-
sors” is displayed on the instrument
panel.
Changing a wheel
The system may take several minutes depending on use for the new
wheel positions and pressures to be recognised; check the tyre pres-
sures after all operations.

In case of puncture
Depending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-
tion kit or emergency spare wheel is
provided (refer to the following pages).Special note
The Tyre Pressure Monitor function
does not check the emergency spare
wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-
gency spare wheel disappears from the
instrument panel display).
Refer to the information on the “Tyre
pressure monitor” in Section 2.
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it \
checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the
other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, the vehi\
cle’s ground clearance is reduced.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel ident\
i- cal to the original one.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measu\
re, the driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wh\
eel.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually r\
uns. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-\
nering.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rea\
r axle and check the tyre pressure.
Emergency spare wheel A
This is located in the luggage compart-
ment:
– open the tailgate;
– lift carpet 1 and secure it;
– unscrew central mounting 2;
– remove the emergency spare wheel.

To refit emergency spare wheel B
Stand the wheel up with the valve to-
wards you. Pass the cable through the
rim and reposition lock 5. Position the
wheel so that valve 6 is nearest the
ground.
From the luggage compartment, tighten
the bolt fully in order to wind the retain-
ing cable, ensuring that the wheel re-
mains horizontal and the cable taut.

Emergency spare wheel B
It is located under the vehicle. In the
luggage compartment, lift cover 3 and
remove the blanking cover. Only use
the wheel brace 4 (using a different tool
could damage the mechanism) to unroll
the retaining cable, making sure it re-
mains taut, and the wheel falls to the
ground.
From outside the vehicle, stand the
wheel up, press lock 5 and rotate it
quarter of a turn. Remove the cable
from the rim to release it.
6
As the punctured wheel
is wider than the emer-
gency spare wheel, when
you place the punctured
wheel in the emergency spare
wheel bay, the vehicle’s ground
clearance is reduced. To pre-
vent damage, proceed carefully
when driving over raised sections
of road and when dismounting
pavements When this is fitted to
the vehicle, which must only be
a temporary measure, the driv-
ing speed must not exceed the
speed indicated on the label on
the wheel. Replace the emer-
gency spare wheel as soon as
possible with a wheel with the
same dimensions as the original.

ery” in Section 5.
Lever 7This tightens or releases the tow eye 6.
The presence of the tools depends on
the vehicle.
Wheelbrace 1Locks or unlocks the wheel bolts and
tow eye 6.
Jack 2Fold it correctly before refitting it in its
housing (ensure that wheelbrace 3 is
correctly positioned).
TOOLS (1/2)
Do not leave the tools un-
secured inside the vehicle
as they may come loose
under braking. After use,
check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then posi-
tion it correctly in its housing: risk of
injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the
tool kit, only use these bolts for the
emergency spare wheel: refer to the
label affixed to the emergency spare
wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. Under no
circumstances should it be used for
carrying out repairs underneath the
vehicle or to gain access to the un-
derside of the vehicle.

Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel onto
the hub and rotate it until the mounting
holes in the wheel coincide with those
of the hub.
If bolts are supplied with the emergency
spare wheel, only use these bolts for
the emergency spare wheel. Tighten
the bolts, checking that the wheel is
correctly positioned on its hub and un-
screw the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten
the bolts fully and have the tightness
of the bolts checked (tightening torque:
110 N.m) and the emergency spare
wheel pressure checked as soon as
possible.
Anti-theft bolt
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these
nearest the valve (wheel embel-
lisher may not be able to fit).
If you have a puncture, re-
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.

5.14
TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are
cold, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added. Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
monitoring system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light

lights up on the instrument panel;
please refer to “Tyre pressure loss
warning” or “Tyre pressure monitoring
system” in Section 2.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on “Puncture”
and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa- tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
