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 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
Continuing vehicle operation without proper ser-
vicing of the engine control system could lead to
poor driveability, reduced fuel economy, and
damage to the engine control system, which may
affect the vehicle’s warranty coverage. Master warning light (where
fitted)

WARNING
• Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls, or move the vehicle, and
inadvertently become involved in aserious ac-
cident and injure themselves. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in aclosed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal illness to people or animals.
• Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In
asudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
NOTE
During the first few months after purchasing a
new vehicle, if you smell strong odours of Vola-
tile Organic Compounds (VOCs) inside the ve-
hicle, ventilate the passenger compartment thor-
oughly. Open all the windows before entering or
while in the vehicle. In addition, when the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment rises, or
when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight for a
period of time, turn off the air recirculation mode
of the air conditioner and/or open the windows
to allow sufficient fresh air into the passenger
compartment. EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide) WARNING
• Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains co-
lourless and odourless carbon monoxide. Car-
bon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause un-
consciousness or death.
• If you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing the vehicle, drive with all windows fully
open, and have the vehicle inspected imme-
diately.
• Do not run the engine in closed spaces such
as
ag arage.
• Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-
ning for an extended period of time.
• If electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass to
atrailer through the seal of the
body, follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations to prevent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
• If
as pecial body or other equipment is added
for recreational or other usage, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may also
generate carbon monoxide.)
• The exhaust system and body should be in-
spected by
aqualified mechanic whenever:
–Y our vehicle is raised while being serviced. –Y
ou suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing into the passenger compartment.
–Y ou notice achange in the sound of the
exhaust system.
–Y ou have had an accident involving dam-
age to the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
AdBlue® SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTION (SCR) SYSTEM (where
fitted for diesel engine model)
AdBlue® or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), is anon-
toxic solution of 32.5% urea in de-ionized water.
This fluid is sprayed into the exhaust system of die-
sel vehicles to cause achemical reaction that breaks
down potentially dangerous NOx (nitrogen oxides)
emissions into harmless nitrogen and water. This
system is called Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR). AdBlue® fluid is not afuel additive and is
never mixed with diesel fuel. It is always stored in a
separate tank on the vehicle.
AdBlue® will begin to freeze below -11°C (12°F). If
you often drive in areas where the temperature is
below -11°C (12°F), the AdBlue® tank should al-
ways be filled with AdBlue® at the beginning of the
cold season to ensure enough defrosting capacity with heating.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING
Starting and driving5-3

AdBlue® warning display
If the AdBlue® level in the tank is low or there is a malfunction in the AdBlue® SCR system, awarning
message will appear in the vehicle information dis- play.
Refill AdBlue®:
For information on refilling the AdBlue® tank see
“AdBlue® filler lid and cap” in the “3. Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section and “AdBlue®
tank (where fitted for diesel engine model)” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
Condition A
This warning appears when the AdBlue® level in
the tank is getting low.
Refill the AdBlue® tank as soon as possible. Condition B
This warning provides you with an estimation of the
distance (0 to 1000 km (0 to 621 miles)) that can be
driven before refilling the AdBlue® tank.
Condition C
This warning appears when the AdBlue® tank is
almost empty.•
If this warning appears while the engine is
stopped, the engine cannot be started. Contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop.
• If this warning appears while the engine is run-
ning, the vehicle can still be driven to the nearest
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
• If the ignition switch is turned off while this warn-
ing appears, the engine can be restarted within
3m
inutes. Stop the vehicle in asafe place and
contact an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop.
Refill the AdBlue® tank as soon as possible.
After the AdBlue® tank is refilled, place the ignition
switch in the ONposition and check that the warn-
ing turned off. Place the ignition switch in the OFF
position once and then start the engine. This opera-
tion will cancel the speed limiting mode.
Check AdBlue®:
When the [Check AdBlue] warning appears, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may also illuminate
depending on conditions. JVM0543XZ JVM0544XZ
