ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING (4WD models)
This vehicle will handle and manoeuvre differently from an ordinary passenger
vehicle, because it has ahigher centre of gravity. As with other vehicles with fea-
tures of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control or an accident.
Be sure to read “On-pavement and off-road driving precautions” and “Four- wheel drive (4WD)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section of this handbook.

With all doors closed, apply the parking brake, fas-
ten the seat belts and place the ignition switch in the
ON position without starting the engine. The follow-
ing lights (where fitted) will come on: , ,
, , .
The following lights (where fitted) will come on briefly
and then go off: , , ,
, ,
, , , , , , (blue and
red)
If any light does not come on, or operates in away
other than described it may indicate aburned-out
bulb and/or asystem malfunction. Have the system
checked, and if necessary repaired, by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
Models with colour display:
Some indicators and warnings are also displayed on
the vehicle information display between the speedo-
meter and tachometer. (See “Indicators for
operation” later in this section.)
WARNING LIGHTS Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light (where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi- nates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational. If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine
is running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS
is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop promptly.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function
is turned off. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.)
While the differential lock (where fitted) is en-
gaged, the ABS warning light illuminates. This
indicates that the anti-lock function is not fully
operating. (See “Rear differential locking system
(where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion for the rear differential lock function.) Automatic Transmission (AT)
check warning light (AT model)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Automatic Transmission (AT) check warning light
illuminates and then turns off. This indicates that the
AT is operational.
If the AT check warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may indicate
that the AT is not functioning properly and may need
servicing. Have the system checked, and if neces-
sary repaired, by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop promptly. Automatic Transmission (AT) oil
temperature warning light (AT
model)
This light illuminates when the Automatic Transmis-
sion (AT) oil temperature is too high. If the light illu-
minates while driving, reduce the vehicle speed as
soon as safely possible until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the AT oil tem-
perature warning light is on may damage the AT. Automatic Transmission (AT)
park warning light (AT model)
This light indicates that the Automatic Transmission
(AT) parking function is not engaged. If the transfer
control is not secured in any driving position while
the AT shift lever is in the P(Park) position, the
transmission will disengage and the wheels will not
lock.
For 4WD model: If the ATP warning light illumi-
nates with the shift lever in the P(Park) position,
shift the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) mode switch to
the 2WD, 4H or 4LO position again with the shift
lever in the N(Neutral) position. (See “4WD mode
switch operation” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.)
2-6 Instruments and controls

WARNING
If the 4WD mode indicator (see “Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) warning light (4WD model)” later in this
section) is OFF or the ATP warning light is ON,
this indicates that the automatic transmission P
(Park) position will not function and could result
in the vehicle moving unexpectedly, causing seri-
ous personal injury or property damage. Always
set the parking brake. Brake warning light
WARNING
• If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive
the vehicle until the brake system has been
checked by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop.
• Even if you judge it to be safe, have your ve-
hicle towed because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
• Depressing the brake pedal without the en-
gine running and/or with
alow brake fluid
level could increase the stopping distance and
require greater pedal travel distance and ef-
fort.
The brake warning light indicates the parking brake
system operation, alow brake fluid level of the brake
system and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) mal-
function. Parking brake warning indicator:
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the brake warning light illuminates. When the
engine is started and the parking brake is released,
the brake warning light turns off.
If the parking brake is not fully released, the brake
warning light remains on. Be sure that the brake
warning light has turned off before driving. (See
“Parking brake” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.)
Low brake fluid warning indicator:
If the brake warning light illuminates while the en-
gine is running, or while driving, and the parking
brake is released, it may indicate the brake fluid
level is low.
When the brake warning light illuminates while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the brake fluid level. If
the brake fluid level is at the minimum mark, add
brake fluid as necessary. (See “Brake fluid” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.)
If the brake fluid level is sufficient, have the brake
system checked by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop promptly.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator (where fitted):
When the parking brake is released and the brake
fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake warning light
and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
light illuminate, it may indicate the ABS is not func-
tioning properly. Have the brake system checked, and if necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop promptly. (See “Brake system”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.) Charge warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
charge warning light illuminates. After starting the
engine, the charge warning light turns off. This indi-
cates that the charging system is operational.
If the charge warning light illuminates while the en-
gine is running, or while driving, it may indicate that
the charging system is not functioning properly and
may need servicing.
When the charge warning light illuminates while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the alternator belt. If the
alternator belt is loose, broken or missing, contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
(See “Drive belt” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.)
If the alternator belt appears to be functioning cor-
rectly but the charge warning light remains illumi-
nated, have the charging system checked by an
approved dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is
loose, broken or missing.

•
If the engine overheats, continued operation
of the vehicle may seriously damage the en- gine. See “If your vehicle overheats” in the
“6. In case of emergency” section for immedi-
ate required action.
Low temperature indicator light (Blue):
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the engine temperature warning light (blue)
comes on. After afew seconds, it should go out and
remain off while the engine is running. Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
warning light (4WD model)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) warning light illuminates.
After starting the engine, the 4WD warning light
turns off.
If the 4WD system malfunctions or the revolution or
radius of the front and the rear wheel differs, the
warning light will either remain illuminated or blink.
(See “Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.)
CAUTION
• If the 4WD warning light illuminates or blinks
while driving, reduce the vehicle speed and
have your vehicle checked by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop as soon as pos-
sible. •
If the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) warning light
turns on when driving on dry hard surface
roads:
–i
nthe 4H position, shift the 4WD mode
switch to 2WD.
–i nthe 4LO position, stop the vehicle and
shift the transmission lever to the N(Neu-
tral) position with the brake pedal
depressed and shift the 4WD mode switch
to 2WD.
If the warning light is still on after the above opera-
tions, have your vehicle checked by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop as soon as possible. Active Emergency Braking
system warning light
(where fitted)
This light illuminates when the Active Emergency
Braking system is set to OFF on the lower display.
If the light illuminates when the Active Emergency
Braking system is ON, it may indicate that the sys-
tem is unavailable. See “Active Emergency Braking
system (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section for more details.
Disabling the ESP system with the Electronic Stabil-
ity Programme (ESP) OFF switch causes the Active
Emergency Braking system to become unavailable.
This is not amalfunction.
For models without colour display:
The warning light blinks when the Active Emergency
Braking system is operating. Low fuel warning light
The low fuel warning light illuminates when the fuel
level in the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it
is convenient, preferably before the fuel gauge
reaches the empty (0) position.
There will be asmall reserve of fuel remaining in
the tank when the fuel gauge reaches the empty (0) position. Low tyre pressure warning light
(where fitted)
Your vehicle is equipped with aTyre Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) (where fitted) that monitors
the tyre pressure of all tyres except the spare.
The low tyre pressure warning light warns of low
tyre pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not func-
tioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, this light illuminates for about 1second and
turns off.
Low tyre pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tyre pressure,
the warning light will illuminate. Alow tyre pressure
warning (e.g., [Low tyre pressure]) also appears in
the vehicle information display.
Instruments and controls 2-9

•
When
aspare tyre is mounted or
awheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
low tyre pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1minute. The light will remain
on after 1minute. Contact an approved dealer
or qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre replacement and/or system resetting.
• Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by RENAULT could affect the proper op-
eration of the TPMS.
CAUTION
• The TPMS is not
asubstitute for the regular
tyre pressure check. Be sure to check the tyre
pressure regularly.
• If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less
than 25 km/h (16 MPH), the TPMS may not
operate correctly.
• Be sure to install the specified size of tyres to
all four wheels correctly. Low washer fluid warning light
(where fitted)
The low washer fluid warning light illuminates when
the washer fluid in the reservoir is at alow level. Add
washer fluid as necessary. (See “Window washer
fluid” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion.) Malfunction warning light (red)
(where fitted)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the malfunction warning light illuminates in red.
This means that the system is operational. After
starting the engine, the warning light turns off.
For the orange Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL),
see “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” later in this
section for details.
If the malfunction warning light (red) illuminates con-
tinuously while the engine is running, it may indicate
an engine control system malfunction. Have your
vehicle inspected by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
