REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE WARNING
• Once the supplemental front-impact air bags
have been inflated, the air bag modules will
not function and must be replaced. The air
bag modules must be replaced by an ap- proved dealer or qualified workshop. The in-
flated air bag modules cannot be repaired.
• The air bag systems should be inspected by
an approved dealer or qualified workshop if
there is any damage to the vehicle.
• If you need to dispose of the SRS or scrap the
vehicle, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop. Correct disposal procedures
are set forth in the appropriate maintenance
service manual. Incorrect disposal proce-
dures could cause personal injury.
The supplemental front-impact air bags and pre-
tensioner seat belts (where fitted) are designed to
activate on aone-time-only basis. As areminder,
unless the SRS air bag warning light is damaged,
the SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated
after inflation has occurred. The repair and replace-
ment of the SRS should be done only by an ap-
proved dealer or qualified workshop. When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,
information about the air bags, pre-tensioner seat
belts and related parts should be pointed out to the
person performing the maintenance. The ignition
switch should always be in the “LOCK” position
when working under the bonnet or inside the ve-
hicle.

The Stop/Start System is designed to prevent un-
necessary fuel consumption, exhaust emissions,
and noise during ajourney:
• When you stop the vehicle with the shift lever in
N(
Neutral) and clutch pedal released, the en-
gine is turned off automatically.
• When you push the clutch pedal, the engine is
automatically turned on.
CAUTION
At the end of the journey the engine must be
stopped and ignition turned off. Lock the vehicle
as normal. Turning the ignition switch OFF will
shut down all electrical systems. Failure to do
this may result in aflat battery.
NOTE
For model with Stop/Start System, use the spe-
cial battery that is enhanced in regard to the
charge-discharge capacity and life performance.
Avoid using anon-special battery for the Stop/
Start System, as this may cause early deteriora-
tion of the battery or amalfunction of the Stop/
Start System. For the battery, it is recommended
to use Genuine RENAULT parts. For more infor-
mation, contact an approved dealer or qualified
workshop.
NOTE
The Stop/Start System will not activate under
the following conditions:
• When the engine is kept idling without any
driving after the engine is turned on. •
When the engine coolant temperature is low.
• When the battery capacity is low.
• When the battery temperature is low.
• When the vehicle is moved.
• When the vacuum in the brake servo
decreases.
• When the engine bonnet is opened with the
engine running.
• When the engine is turned on with the engine
bonnet open.
• When the driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• When the driver’s door is open.
• When the Stop/Start System indicator blinks
at
alow speed.
• When the fan speed control is in any position
other than OFF (0) while the air flow control is
in the front defogger position.
• When the front defogger switch is on.
• When the temperature inside the vehicle is
too high or low. (When the Auto air condition-
ing system is off, the Stop/Start System will
operate.)
• When the fan speed of the air conditioner is
set to the maximum speed.
• When the Stop/Start OFF switch is turned on.
• When the power consumption is large. •
When the vehicle is travelling at altitudes
higher than 2000
m(6562 ft) (MT model).

• When the shift lever is in any position except
the
N(Neutral) position.
• When the clutch pedal is depressed.
• When the Remote Control Key is not in the
vehicle.
• When the steering wheel is turning or turned
more than 45 degrees.
NOTE
The engine will not restart even if the clutch pedal
is pressed while the Stop/Start System is acti-
vated under the following condition:
• When the engine bonnet is opened.
• When the driver seat belt is unfastened and
the driver’s door is opened.
• When the shift lever is not in the
N(Neutral)
position.
NOTE
It may take some time until the Stop/Start Sys-
tem activates under the following conditions:
• When the battery is discharged.

ods and then reconnected.
STOP/START SYSTEM
(where fitted)
Starting and driving5-23

NOTE
When the Stop/Start System indicator illumi-
nates, the engine starts running automatically
under at least one of the following conditions:
• The battery voltage becomes low (due to elec-
trical load from other vehicle systems like
headlights, heaters, etc., or auxiliary devices
connected to the 12 volt socket inside the
vehicle).
• The vehicle speed is above about
2km/h (1
MPH).
• The front defogger is operated.
• When the temperature inside the vehicle is
too high or low. (When the air conditioner is
off, the Stop/Start System will operate.)
• When the front defogger is turned on. (The
engine may not start depending on the out-
side temperature.)
• When the battery capacity is low.
• When the power consumption is high.
• When the clutch pedal is depressed.
CAUTION
Only engage gear when the clutch pedal is fully
depressed. NOTE
The following conditions will prevent the Stop/
Start System from automatically restarting the
engine. Starting the engine with the ignition
switch operation is then necessary:
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened, and driv-
er’s door is open.
• The bonnet is open.
Use this system while waiting at stoplight, etc. When
the vehicle is stopped for long periods of time, turn
off the engine.
When the engine is stopped by the Stop/Start Sys-
tem, heating, cooling and dehumidifying functions
will be deactivated. To avoid the air conditioning
functions from being deactivated, turn off the Idling
Stop mode by pressing the Stop/Start OFF switch.

5-24 Starting and driving

•
When driving on extremely inclined surfaces
such as higher banked corners, the ESP sys-
tem may not operate properly and the ESP
warning light may illuminate. Do not drive
on these types of roads.
• When driving on an unstable surface such as
at urntable, ferry, elevator or ramp, the ESP
warning light may illuminate. This is not a
malfunction. Restart the engine after driving
onto astable surface.
• If wheels or tyres other than the RENAULT
recommended ones are used, the ESP sys-
tem may not operate properly and the ESP
warning light may illuminate.
• The ESP system is not
asubstitute for winter
tyres or tyre chains on asnow covered road.
The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system
uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs and
vehicle motion. Under certain driving conditions, the
ESP system performs the following functions:
• Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel slip on
one slipping drive wheel so power is transferred
to
an on slipping drive wheel on the same axle.
• Controls brake pressure and engine output to
reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle speed
(traction control function). •
Controls brake pressure at individual wheels and
engine output to help the driver maintain control
of the vehicle in the following conditions:
–u
ndersteer (vehicle tends to not follow the
steered path despite increased steering in-
put)
–o versteer (vehicle tends to spin due to cer-
tain road or driving conditions).
The ESP system can help the driver to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle, but it cannot prevent loss of ve-
hicle control in all driving situations.
When the ESP system operates, the ESP warning
light in the instrument panel flashes so note the
following:
• The road may be slippery or the system may
determine some action is required to help the
vehicle on the steered path.
• You may feel
apulsation in the brake pedal and
hear anoise or vibration from under the bonnet.
This is normal and indicates that the ESP system
is working properly.
• Adjust your speed and driving to the road condi-
tions.
If am alfunction occurs in the system, the ESP warn-
ing light illuminates in the instrument panel. The
ESP system automatically turns off.
The ESP OFF switch is used to turn off the ESP
system. The ESP off indicator light illuminates
to indicate the ESP system is off. When the ESP
OFF switch is used to turn off the system, the ESP system still operates to prevent one drive wheel from
slipping by transferring power to
anon slipping drive
wheel. The ESP warning light flashes if this
occurs. All other ESP functions are off and the ESP
warning light will not flash. The ESP system is
automatically reset to on when the ignition switch is
placed in the OFFposition then back to the ONposi-
tion.
When the <4LO> position is selected with the Four-
Wheel Drive (4WD) mode switch, the ESP system
is disabled and the ESP OFF indicator light illumi-
nates.
See “Warning lights, indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-
tion and “Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)”
earlier in this section.
The computer has abuilt-in diagnostic feature that
tests the system each time you start the engine and
move the vehicle forward or in reverse at aslow
speed. When the self-test occurs, you may hear a
“clunk” noise and/or feel apulsation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and is not an indication of a
malfunction.
5-34 Starting and driving

When the ABS senses that one or more wheels are
close to locking up, the actuator rapidly applies and
releases hydraulic pressure. This action is similar to
pumping the brakes very quickly. You may feel a
pulsation in the brake pedal and hear anoise from
under the bonnet or feel avibration from the actua-
tor when it is operating. This is normal and indicates
that the ABS is operating properly. However, the
pulsation may indicate that road conditions are haz-
ardous and extra care is required while driving.
When the differential lock (where fitted) is engaged,
the ABS warning light illuminates. This indicates that
the anti-lock function is not fully operating. (See
“Rear differential locking system (where fitted)” ear-
lier in this section for the rear differential lock func-
tion.) WARNING
• Whatever the condition, drive with caution.
Accelerate and decelerate with great care. If
accelerating or decelerating too fast, the drive
wheels will lose even more traction.
• Allow more stopping distance in cold weather
driving. Braking should be started sooner than
on dry pavement.
• Keep at
agreater distance from the vehicle in
front of you on slippery roads.
• Wet ice (0°C, 32°F and freezing rain), very cold
snow and ice can be slick and very difficult to
drive on. The vehicle will have
alot less trac-
tion or grip under these conditions. Try to
avoid driving on wet ice until the road is salted
or sanded.
• Watch for slippery spots (glaring ice). These
may appear on an otherwise clear road in
shaded areas. If
apatch of ice is seen ahead,
brake before reaching it. Try not to brake while
actually on the ice, and avoid any sudden
steering manoeuvres.
• Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
• Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gas under
your vehicle. Keep snow clear of the exhaust
pipe and from around your vehicle. BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during extremely
cold weather conditions, the battery fluid may freeze
and damage the battery. To maintain maximum effi-
ciency, the battery should be checked regularly. For
details, see “Battery” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
ENGINE COOLANT
If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-freeze,
drain the cooling system, including the engine block.
Refill before operating the vehicle. For details, see
“Engine cooling system” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
TYRE EQUIPMENT
1. If you have snow tyres installed on the front/rear
wheels of your vehicle, they should be of the
same size, loading range, construction and type
(bias, bias-belted or radial) as the rear/front tyres.
2. If the vehicle is to be operated in severe winter conditions, snow tyres should be installed on all
four wheels.
3. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tyres may be used. However, some countries, prov-
inces and states prohibit their use. Check local,
state and provincial laws before installing stud-
ded tyres.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded snow
tyres, on wet or dry surfaces, may be poorer
than that of non-studded snow tyres.
