LEVELS(continued)
Power assisted steering pump
Frequency of changing:refer to the
Servicing booklet for your vehicle.
Level:The correct level when cold
should be:
- visible between theMinandMax
marks on reservoir1.
For topping up or refilling with oil,
use products approved by
RENAULT's Technical Department.
Battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance. Never open cover2.
Take care when working
in the engine
compartment as the
engine cooling fan may
cutinatanymoment
without warning.Handle the battery with
care as it contains
sulphuric acid which must
not come into contact with
the eyes or skin.
If it does, rinse with plenty of
water.
Keep all sources of flame, heat and
sparks away from the battery as
there is a risk of explosion.

BATTERY breakdown
To avoid all risk of sparks:
- Ensure that the consumers are
disconnected before disconnecting
or reconnecting the battery.
- When charging, switch off the
charger before connecting or
disconnecting the battery.
- Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short
circuit between the terminals.
Connecting a battery charger
Both battery leads must be
disconnected (with the engine
switched off).
Do not disconnect the battery when
the engine is running.Follow the
instructions for use given by the
manufacturer of the battery charger
you are using.Only a well-charged and
well-maintained battery will have a
long and useful life and enable you
to start the vehicle’s engine
normally.
The battery must be kept clean and
dry.
Have the battery's charge status
checked regularly:
• especially if you use your vehicle
for short journeys or for frequent
driving in town;
• When the external temperature
drops (in winter),the charge
decreases. In winter, only use
those electrical comsumers which
are really necessary.
• Finally, you should understand
that the charge decreases
naturally as a result of certain
permanent consumers such as:
the clock, aftermarket
accessories...When a large number of accessories
are fitted to the vehicle, have them
connectedto + after ignition.Inthis
case, it is advisable to have your
vehicle fitted with a battery which
has an increased nominal capacity.
Consult your Renault Dealer.
If the vehicle is to be left stationary
for a long time, disconnect the
battery and recharge it regularly,
especially in cold weather. The
memories, radio etc. will then have
to be reprogrammed. The battery
must be stored in a dry and
ventilated area protected from frost.
Specific procedures may
be required to charge
some batteries. Consult
your Renault Dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which
may cause an immediate
explosion and charge the battery
in a well-ventilated area.
Risk of serious injury.

BATTERY: breakdown(continued)
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting
your vehicle from another vehicle's
battery:
Obtain suitable jump leads (with a
large cross section) from a Renault
Dealer or, if you already have jump
leads, ensure that they are in perfect
condition.
Both batteries must have an
identical nominal voltage: 12 volts.
The battery supplying the current
should have a capacity (amp-hours,
Ah) which is at least the same as
that of the discharged battery.
A frozen battery must be thawed out
before current is supplied to it.
Ensure that there is no risk of
contact between the two vehicles
(risk of short circuiting when the
positive terminals are connected)
and that the discharged battery is
properly connected. Switch off your
vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle
supplying the current and run it at
average speed.Secure the positive cable (+)Ato
the (+) terminal1of the discharged
battery then to (+) terminal2of the
battery supplying the current.
Secure the negative cable (–)Bto
the (–) terminal3of the battery
supplying the current then to the (–)
terminal4of the discharged battery.Check that there is no contact
between cablesAandBand that
cableAis not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Start the engine as you would
normally. As soon as it starts,
disconnect cablesAandBin the
reverse order (4-3-2-1).
Handle the battery with
care since it contains
sulphuric acid which
must never come into
contact with eyes or skin. If it
does, wash with plenty of water.
Keep all flames, light sources
and sparks away from the
battery: risk of explosion.
Take care when working in the
engine compartment as the
engine cooling fan may cut in at
any moment without warning.

two years. There is a delay of 1
second between locking and
unlocking actions.Replace the battery2according to
the direction marked on the cover.
Note:When replacing the battery, it
is advisable not to touch the
electronic circuit in the key cover.

OPERATING FAULTS
Your vehicle should not be affected by faults likely to keep it off the road for long periods if you have followed the Renault
Servicing Programme regularly.
The following advice will allow you to get going again quickly, albeit temporarily: for reasons of safety, you should
always consult a Renault Dealer as soon as possible.
When starter is activated CAUSES REMEDIAL ACTION
• There is no response. The warning
lights fail to illuminate and the starter
does not turn.Battery lead disconnected or terminals
oxidised.Check battery terminals: scrape clean
if oxidised and re-tighten.
Battery discharged. Connect another battery to the faulty
battery.
Battery unserviceable. Replace the battery.
• Warning lights go dim and starter
turns very slowly.Battery terminals not tight.
Battery terminals oxidised.Check battery terminals: scrape clean
if oxidised and re-tighten.
Battery discharged. Connect another battery to the faulty
battery.
• The engine is difficult to start in
damp conditions or after washing.Poor ignition, ignition system damp. Dry the plug leads and ignition coil.
• The engine is difficult to start when
hot.Poor carburation (bubbles of vaporised
fuel in the circuit).Let the engine cool down.
Lack of compression. Consult a Renault Dealer.

On the open road CAUSES REMEDIAL ACTION
• Abnormal white smoke from the
exhaust.Mechanical fault: cylinder head gasket
blown.Stop the engine.
Consult a Renault Dealer.
• Smoke under the bonnet. Short circuit. Stop the vehicle, switch off the
ignition, disconnect the battery.
Cooling circuit fault. Consult a Renault Dealer.
• The oil pressure warning light
illuminates
- when cornering or braking. The level is too low. Top up the oil.

- is slow to extinguish or remains
illuminated on acceleration.Loss of oil pressure. Stop and call for the assistance of a
Renault Dealer.
• The engine lacks power. Dirty air filter. Replace the cartridge.
Fuel supply fault. Check the fuel level.
Spark plugs faulty, incorrect gap. Consult a Renault Dealer.
• Idle speed unsteady or engine stalls. Lack of compression (spark plugs,
ignition, air leak)Consult a Renault Dealer.
