TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (1/3)
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure.
The system displays the current pres-
sures on the instrument panel 1 and
alerts the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure.
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping a wheel (however this practice is not recommended);
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
21
Resetting procedure
With the ignition on:
– repeatedly and briefly press con- trol 2 to select the tyre pressure dis-
play and the “Tyre pressure” func-
tion;
– press and hold (around 3 seconds) the button 2 to launch the reset. The
flashing tyres followed by the mes-
sages “Learning TP initiated” and
then “Tyres location in progress” in-
dicates that the reset request for the
tyre pressure reference value has
been acknowledged.
Reset can take several minutes of driv-
ing.
If the resetting is followed by short
trips, the message “Tyres location in
progress” can remain displayed after
successive restarts.
Note
The standard tyre pressure cannot be
less than that recommended and indi-
cated on the door frame.
3
Resetting can also be done from the
multifunction screen 3. Select the
menu “Vehicle”, “Tyre pressure”.

punctured tyre, system fault, etc.).
“Puncture”
A wheel B is shown in red, the warning
light 4
 comes on, the message
“Puncture” appears and there is a beep.
This message appears along with the
® warning light.
They indicate that the affected wheel
is punctured or severely underinflated.
Replace it or contact an approved
dealer if it is punctured. Top up the tyre
pressure if the wheel is deflated.
“Check tyre pressure sensors”
A wheel A disappears, the warning
light 4
 flashes for several sec-
onds then comes on continuously and
the message “Check tyre pressure sen-
sors” appears.
This message appears along with the
© warning light. They indicate that
at least one wheel is not fitted with sen-
sors (e.g. emergency spare wheel).
Otherwise, consult an authorised
dealer.
“Adjust tyre pressure”
A wheel B
is shown in orange, the
warning light 4
 comes on and
the message “Adjust tyre pressure” ap-
pears.
They indicate that a wheel is deflated.
Check and, if necessary, readjust the
pressures of the four wheels when cold.
The warning light 4
 goes off after
a few minutes’ driving.

For your safety, the warning
light
® requires you to
stop immediately as soon
as traffic conditions allow.
The sudden loss of pressure in a tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be det\
ected by the
system.

2.25
Tyre repair product and
inflation kit
Because the valves are specially de-
signed, only use equipment approved
by the approved network. Please refer
to “Tyre inflation kit” in Section 5.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Please see the information on “Tyres”
in Section 5.
Contact an approved Dealer to fit new
tyres and to find out about available ac-
cessories compatible with the system
and available from your dealer net-
work: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the
system or damage a sensor.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency spare wheel, it will not have a
sensor. If the vehicle is fitted with one,
the warning light 4
 flashes for
several seconds then comes on con-
tinuously along with the
© warn-
ing light, and the message "Check tyre
pressure sensors” appears on the in-
strument panel.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (3/3)
Changing a wheel
The system may take sev-
eral minutes depending on
use for the new wheel po-
sitions and pressures to be recog-
nised; check the tyre pressures after
all operations.
“Tyres location in progress”
This message “Tyres location in
progress” appears when driving if one
or more wheels have been fitted with
sensors not recognised by Renault.
Consult an approved dealer
Readjustment of tyre
pressures
The tyre pressures should be ad-
justed when cold (please refer to the
label located on the edge of the driver’s
door). If the tyre pressures cannot be
checked when the tyres are cold, the
recommended pressures should be in-
creased by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function is
not intended to replace the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver. Check the tyre pressures, in-
cluding the emergency spare wheel,
once a month.

In case of puncture
Depending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-
tion kit or emergency spare wheel is
provided (refer to the following pages).
Special note
The Tyre Pressure Monitor function
does not check the emergency spare
wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-
gency spare wheel disappears from the
instrument panel display).
Refer to the information on the “Tyre
pressure monitoring system” in
Section 2.
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it \
checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than the
four other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, the vehi\
cle’s ground clearance is reduced.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with \
the same dimensions as the original.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measu\
re, the driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wh\
eel.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually r\
uns. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-\
nering.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rea\
r axle and check the tyre pressure.
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (1/3)
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation ap-
plying to the country you are in.

– only use the wheel brace 4 (using
a different tool could damage the
mechanism) to unroll the retaining
cable, and the wheel falls to the
ground.
– from the exterior of the vehicle, stand the wheel up and pass the cable and
the component 5 through the wheel
rim and release the wheel.

5.4
Reposition the blanking cover then the
cover 3.
For vehicles fitted with a servo, replace
the servo 2. Tighten the three screws 1.
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (3/3)
56
As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, when
you place the punctured wheel in the emergency spare wheel bay, the
vehicle’s ground clearance is reduced. To prevent damage, proceed ca-
refully when driving over raised sections of road and when dismounting
pavements When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a tempo\
rary
measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the la\
bel
on the wheel. Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with\
a
wheel with the same dimensions as the original.
To refit a wheel
To carry out this operation, the cable
must be unwound.
Stand the wheel up with the valve to-
wards you. Thread the cable and the
component 5 through the wheel rim.
Rest the wheel with the valve 6 towards
the ground.
From the luggage compartment, tighten
the bolt fully in order to wind the retai-
ning cable, ensuring that the wheel re-
mains horizontal and the cable taut.

wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. Under no
circumstances should it be used for
carrying out repairs underneath the
vehicle or to gain access to the un-
derside of the vehicle.
