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

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.

ing style and speed must be adjusted according
to the circumstances. Especially when carrying
heavy loads, your speed must be reduced ad-
equately.
• Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear.
• Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake (and clutch) fluid, window washer fluid as
frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.

Windscreen wiper and washer*:
Check that the wipers and washer operate properly
and that the wipers do not streak.
Under bonnet and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time you
check the engine oil or refuel).
Battery (except for maintenance free batter-
ies)*:
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be be-
tween the and lines. Vehicles
operated in high temperatures or under severe con-
ditions require frequent checks of the battery fluid
level.
Brake (and clutch) fluid level(s)*:
For Manual Transmission (MT) model: make sure
that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between
the and lines on the reservoirs.
Except for Manual Transmission (MT) model: make
sure that the brake fluid level is between the
and lines on the reservoir.
Engine coolant level*:
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Make sure that the coolant level is between the
and lines on the reservoir.
Engine drive belt(s)*:
Make sure that drive belt(s) is/are not frayed, worn,
cracked or oily. Engine oil level*:
Check the level after parking the vehicle (on
alevel
ground) and turning off the engine.
Fluid leaks:
Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other
fluid leaks after the vehicle has been parked for a
while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after
use is normal. If you should notice any leaks or if fuel
fumes are evident, check for cause and have it cor-
rected immediately.
Power steering fluid level and lines*:
Check the level when the fluid is cold, with the en-
gine off. Check the lines for proper attachment,
leaks, cracks, etc.
Windscreen washer fluid*:
Check that there is adequate fluid in the reservoir.
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
When performing any inspection or maintenance
work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent
serious accidental injury to yourself or damage to
the vehicle. The following are general precautions
which should be closely observed. WARNING
• Park the vehicle on
alevel surface, apply the
parking brake securely and block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from moving. Move the
shift lever to the P(Park) position (AT model)
or the shift lever to the N(Neutral) position
(MT model). •
Be sure the ignition switch is in the LOCK
position when performing any parts replace-
ment or repairs.
• Do not work under the bonnet while the en-
gine is hot. Always turn off the engine and
wait until it cools down.
• If you must work with the engine running,
keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools away
from moving fans, belts and any other moving
parts.
• It is advisable to secure or remove any loose
clothing and any jewellery, such as rings,
watches, etc. before working on your vehicle.
• If you must run the engine in an enclosed
space such as
agarage, be sure there is
proper ventilation for exhaust gasses to es-
cape.
• DO NOT GET UNDER
AVEHICLE THAT IS
SUPPORTED BY AJACK.
• Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks
away from fuel and the battery.
• Never connect or disconnect either the bat-
tery or any transistorised component connec-
tor while the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
