ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
When braking sharply, the two main
aims are to reduce the stopping
distance and to keep the vehicle
under control. However, depending
on the nature of the ground, the
atmospheric conditions and your
reactions, dangers due to loss of
adherence may exist: the wheels
may lock and directional control
may be lost. To avoid these risks,
your vehicle has been fitted with
the anti-lock braking system (ABS).
The safety enhancement is that the
brake control system prevents the
wheels from locking, even if the
brakes are applied too sharply,
allowing the vehicle to be steered
and thus its direction to be controlled.
Under these circumstances, it is quite
possible for the driver to steer the
vehicle and avoid an obstacle whilst
at the same time applying the brake.
This system also allows stopping
distances to be improved, especially
when adhesion is limited (wet roads,
slippery or uneven road surface).Although this system allows this
optimisation, the ABS system in no
way increases performance which is
physically related to the local
adherence conditions between the
tyres and the ground. You must still
follow the rules of good driving
practice (driving at a safe distance
from the vehicle in front etc.).The
fact that the vehicle’s safety has been
increased should not encourage you
to take risks.
Each time the system is activated,
you will feel a certain degree of
pulsation at the brake pedal. These
tangible signs will warn you that the
adhesion between the tyres and the
ground has reached its limit and
enable you to adapt your driving
style to suit the road conditions.Operating incidents
Two situations must be considered:
1 - The warning light is
illuminated on the instrument
panel.
Braking is still assured, but
without the action of the ABS
system. Consult a Renault Dealer
as soon as possible.
2 - The warning lights
are illuminated on the instrument
panel.
This indicates a fault in one of
the ABS braking components.
Braking may be partially assured.
It is howeverdangerous to brake
sharply,soyoumuststop
immediately as soon as traffic
conditions allow. Call for the
assistance of a Renault Dealer as
soon as possible.
The braking modulation provided by the ABS system is independent of the force applied at the pedal. In an
emergency, applyfirm, continuous pressureat the brake pedal - there is no need to pump it repeatedly.

interior lights (for certain vehicles)
•remote unlocking of the doors
illuminates the interior lights for
approximately 15 seconds;
• remote locking of the doors
extinguishes the interior lights
immediately;

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE(continued)
What you should do
• Wash your car frequently, using our
recommended cleaning products
anduseahighpressurejettorinse
off the wheel arches and under the
body to get rid of:
- spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
-bird droppings, which contain
chemicals whichrapidly
discolour paintwork and may
even cause the paint to peel off;
The vehiclemustbe washed
immediately to remove these
marks since they cannot be
removed by polishing;
- salt from the wheel arches and
under the body, after the vehicle
has been driven in areas where
the roads are chemically treated;
- mud forming damp patches in
the wheel arches and under the
body.• Keep well away from the vehicle
in front when driving on a freshly
laid surface to avoid damage to
your paintwork.
• Have patches where the paint has
been damaged repaired quickly to
avoid corrosion spreading.
• If your vehicle is covered by the
Renault anti-corrosion warranty,
remember to visit the bodyshop
periodically. Refer to your vehicle’s
Warranty and Servicing booklet.
• Respect local regulations relating
to washing your vehicle (e.g. do
not wash your vehicle on a public
highway).• Before using a revolving brush
type car wash, check the mounting
of exterior equipment, additional
headlights and rear view mirrors.
Secure the wiper blades and radio
aerial with adhesive tape.
Remove the car phone aerial if the
vehicle has one.
• If mechanical components such
as hinges have to be cleaned, their
protection must be reapplied by
spraying on products approved
by Renault's Technical Department.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle which
may be obtained from Renault
Accessory Outlets.

CHANGING A WHEEL
•Remove the wheel embellisher
(see section on embellishers).
• Use the wheelbrace1to loosen
the wheel bolts slightly. Fit it so
that you press downwards and
not upwards.
• Offer up the jack horizontally, the
jack head must be slid
underneath the jacking point
under the body, nearest the wheel
concerned.
• Screw up the jack by hand at first
to align the base plate (which
should be inclined further
inwards than the jack head). Use a
piece of wood under the base
plate if on soft ground.• Insert the end of the wheelbrace2
into the jack3and turn a few
times to lift the wheel off the
ground:
• Remove the bolts.
• Take off the wheel.
• Position the emergency spare
wheel on the central hub and turn
it to locate the mounting holes in
the wheel and the hub.
• Tighten the bolts and lower the
jack.
• Tighten the bolts fully when the
wheel is on the ground.Park your vehicle on firm,
flat ground (if necessary,
placing a plank under the
base of the jack).
Switch on the hazard warning
lights.
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse, orPon an
automatic gearbox).
Ask all the passengers to get out of
the vehicle and keep them away
from moving traffic.
If you have a puncture,
replace the wheel as soon
as possible.
A tyre which has been
punctured should always be
inspected (and repaired if possible)
by a specialist.
