VEHICLE BATTERY
WARNING
Do not operate the vehicle if the fluid in the bat-
tery is low. Low battery fluid can cause ahigher
load on the battery which can generate heat, re-
duce battery life, and in some cases lead to an
explosion.
Checking battery fluid level Check the fluid level in each cell. The battery fluid
level should be between the UPPER LEVEL
➀and
LOWER LEVEL ➁lines.
If it is necessary to add fluid, add only demineralised/
distilled water to bring the level to the indicator in
each filler opening. Do not overfill.
1. Remove the cell plugs ➂using
asuitable tool.
2. Add demineralised/distilled water up to the UP- PER LEVEL ➀line.
If the side of the battery is not clear, check the
distilled water level by looking directly above the
cell; the condition j
Ai ndicates OK and the con-
dition jBn eeds more to be added.
3. Replace and tighten the cell plugs.
• Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under
severe conditions require frequent checks of the
battery fluid level.
• Keep the battery surface clean and dry. Any cor-
rosion should be cleared with
afirmly wrung out
moist cloth.
• Make certain the terminal connections are clean
and securely tightened.
• If the vehicle is not to be used for more than 30
days, disconnect the negative (−) battery termi-
nal cable to prevent battery discharge.
Jump starting
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump starting” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section. If the engine
does not start by jump starting or the battery does not charge, the battery may have to be replaced.
Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop
for replacing the battery.

• Operating the engine with the air cleaner filter
off can cause you or others to be burned. The
air cleaner filter not only cleans the intake air,
it also stops flame if the engine backfires. If
the air cleaner filter is not installed and the engine backfires, you could be burned. Never
drive with the air cleaner filter off. Be cautious
working on the engine when the air cleaner
filter is off.
• Never pour fuel into the throttle body or at-
tempt to start the engine with the air cleaner
removed. Doing so could result in serious in-
jury.
To remove the filter, release the lock pins ➀and
pull the unit upward ➁. The dry paper type filter element may be cleaned
and reused. Replace the air filter according to the
maintenance schedule shown in
aseparate mainte-
nance booklet.
When replacing the filter, wipe the inside of the air
cleaner housing and the cover with adamp cloth. SDI2452Z JVM0451XZ

Extended storage fuse switch
(where fitted) To reduce battery drain, the extended storage fuse
switch comes from the factory switched off. Prior to
delivery of your vehicle, the switch is pushed in
(switched on) and should always remain on.
If the extended storage fuse switch is not pushed in
(switched on), the [Shipping Mode On Push Stor-
age Fuse] warning may appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display. See “Indicators for operation” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.
If any electrical equipment does not operate, re-
move the extended storage fuse switch and check for an open fuse.
NOTE
If the extended storage fuse switch malfunctions
or if the fuse is open, it is not necessary to re-
place the switch. In this case, remove the ex- tended storage fuse switch and replace it with a
new fuse of the same rating.
How to remove the extended storage fuse
switch:
1. To remove the extended storage fuse switch, be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF or LOCK
position.
2. Be sure the headlight switch is in the OFF posi- tion.
3. Remove the fuse box cover.
4. Pinch the locking tabs ➀found on each side of
the storage fuse switch.
5. Pull the extended storage fuse switch straight out from the fuse box ➁. HEADLIGHTS
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the exte-
rior lights in the rain or in
acar wash. Atemperature
difference between the inside and the outside of the

8-20 Maintenance and do-it-yourself

For additional traction on icy roads, studded tyres
may be used. However, some states and provinces
prohibit their use. Check local, state and provincial
laws before installing studded tyres. Skid and trac-
tion capabilities of studded snow tyres on wet or dry
surfaces may be poorer than that of non-studded
snow tyres.
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) model
CAUTION
• Always use tyres of the same type, size, brand,
construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and
tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do
so may result in
acircumference difference
between tyres on the front and rear axles
which will cause excessive tyre wear and may
damage the transmission, transfer case and
differential gears.
• ONLY use spare tyres specified for the 4WD
model.
If excessive tyre wear is found, it is recommended
that all four tyres be replaced with tyres of the same
size, brand, construction and tread pattern. The tyre
pressure and wheel alignment should also be
checked and corrected as necessary. Contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop. TYRE CHAINS
Use of tyre chains may be prohibited according to
location. Check the local laws before installing tyre
chains. When installing tyre chains, make sure that
they are of proper size for the tyres on your vehicle
and are installed according to the chain manufactur-
er’s instructions.
Use chain tensioners when recommended by the
tyre chain manufacturer to ensure
atight fit. Loose
end links of the tyre chains must be secured or
removed to prevent the possibility of whipping ac-
tion damage to the wings or underbody. If possible,
avoid fully loading your vehicle when using tyre
chains. In addition, drive at areduced speed. Oth-
erwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/or ve-
hicle handling and performance may be adversely
affected.
Tyre chains must be installed only on the rear
wheels and not on the front wheels.
Do not drive with tyre chains on paved roads which
are clear of snow. Driving with chains in such condi-
tions can cause damage to the various mechanisms
of the vehicle due to some overstress. TYRE ROTATION
RENAULT recommends that tyres be rotated every
5,000 km (3,000 miles) for Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
or every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) for Two-Wheel
Drive (2WD) model. However, the timing for tyre
rotation may vary according to your driving habits
and the road surface conditions. (See “Flat tyre” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section for the tyre
replacement.)
WARNING
• After rotating the tyres, adjust the tyre pres-
sure.
• Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle
has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles) (also
in cases of
aflat tyre, etc.).
• Do not include the spare tyre in tyre rotation. SDI1662Z
Maintenance and do-it-yourself
8-27

•
Incorrect tyre selection, fitting, care or main-
tenance can affect vehicle safety with risk of
accident and injury. If in doubt, consult an
approved dealer or qualified workshop or the
tyre manufacturer.
TYRE WEAR AND DAMAGE
➀ :W
ear indicator
➁ :W
ear indicator location mark
Tyres should be periodically inspected for wear,
cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If
excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are
found, the tyre should be replaced immediately.
The original tyres have abuilt-in tread wear indica-
tor. When the wear indicator is visible, the tyre
should be replaced.
Improper service of aspare tyre may result in seri-
ous personal injury. If it is necessary to repair the
spare tyre, contact an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. TYRE AGE
Never use
atyre over six years old, regardless of
whether it has been used or not.
Tyres degrade with age as well as with the vehicle
usage. Have your tyres checked and balanced often
by arepair shop or, if you prefer, an approved dealer
or qualified workshop.
CHANGING TYRES AND WHEELS WARNING
Do not install
adeformed wheel or tyre even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels or tyres could
have structural damage and could fail without
warning.
When replacing atyre, use the same size, speed
rating and load carrying capacity as originally
equipped. (See “Tyres and wheels” in the “9. Tech-
nical information” section for recommended types
and sizes of tyres and wheels.) The use of tyres
other than those recommended or the mixed use of
tyres of different brands, construction (bias, bias-
belted, or radial), or tread patterns can adversely
affect the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance,
body-to-tyre clearance, snow chain clearance,
speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper
height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents
and could result in serious personal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason, always
replace with wheels which have the same offset
dimension. Wheels of adifferent offset could cause
early tyre wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling characteristics and/or interference with the brake
discs/drums. Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake
pad/shoe wear.
WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and
tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out
of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
SPARE TYRE
Conventional spare tyre (where fitted)
As tandard tyre (the same size as the road wheels)
is supplied with your vehicle.
Temporary spare tyre (where fitted)
The temporary spare tyre is adifferent size from the
road wheels.
Temporary spare tyres can be distinguished as fol-
lows:
—T yre and wheel size differs from the four mounted
tyres and wheels.
—T here is alabel in the wheel with aspeed limita-
tion.
In order to avoid malfunction adhere to the follow-
ing:
• Never drive at speeds above 80 km/h (50 MPH).
• Drive with special caution when
atemporary
spare wheel is mounted. SDI1663Z
