ENG_NU_891_892-7_L38-B32_Renault_2
This system monitors the tyre pressure.
Depending on the vehicle, the infor -
mation is displayed on the instrument
panel. In this case, they appear:
– with the ignition on, when scrolling
through the trip computer and warn-
ing system information by pressing
control 2 (refer to the information
on the “trip computer and warning
system” in Section 1);
– or if there is a fault when driving
(refer to the following pages to find
out more about the warning mes -
sages).
Tyre pressure monitor
This function is an addi -
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig -
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
tyRe PReSSURe MONIt OR (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 informs the driver via trip
computer 1 that the tyres are suffi -
ciently inflated and warns if they are
underinflated or leaking.
t he tyre pressure can be adjusted
when cold (refer to the information on
“Tyre pressures”).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom -
mended pressures must be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Changing a wheel
If you wish to change your wheels (fit-
ting winter tyres etc.), the system will
reset itself automatically after approx -
imately two minutes driving at a mini -
mum speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).

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.

Display
The trip computer 3 and, depending
on the vehicle, display 4 informs you of
any tyre pressure faults (flat tyre, punc-
tured tyre, system fault, etc.).
“Inflate tyres for motorway”
If all four wheels B are shaded, the tyre
pressure is not adapted to the driving
speed. Slow down or inflate all four
tyres to “motorway pressure” (refer to
the label located on the label on the
edge of the driver’s door).
tyRe PReSSURe MONIt OR (2/3)
“tyre pressure sensors absent ” or
“Check tyre pressure sensors ”
One wheel A disappears, indicating
that the sensor on this wheel is missing
or faulty (e.g. if the emergency spare
wheel is fitted).
“Adjust tyre pressure
”
A shaded wheel A indicates a deflated
tyre.
“Puncture”
Wheel B indicates that the tyre con -
cerned is punctured or severely un -
derinflated. Replace it or contact an
approved Dealer if it is punctured. Top
up the tyre pressure if the wheel is de-
flated.
This message appears along with the
® warning light.

Because the valves are specially de -
signed, only use equipment approved
by the approved network.
tyRe PReSSURe MONIt OR (3/3)
emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer-

panel.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip -
ment (wheels, tyres, sensors, etc.).
Contact an approved dealer to replace
the tyres and to find out about avail -
able accessories compatible with the
system: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the
system or damage a sensor.

Puncture
Emergency spare wheel
Puncture, emergency sP are wheel (1/2)
In the event of a puncture,
depending on the vehicle,
you will have:
An emergency spare wheel or tyre in -
flation kit (refer to the information on 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 moni-
tor” 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.
– 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 measure, 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 runs.
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 rear axle
and check the tyre pressure.

Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come
loose under braking. After use, check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then position it correctly in its housing: there is a
risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, only use these bolts for the emergency
spare wheel: refer to the label affixed to the emergency spare wheel.

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
– Unlock the wheel bolts using the
wheel wrench 3. Position it so as to
be able to push from above;
– line jack 4 up horizontally, the jack
head must be positioned at the
same height as plate mounting 1, as
close as possible to the wheel con -
cerned, indicated by an arrow 2;
– start cranking the jack up by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle);
– turn the wheelbrace until the wheel
lifts off the ground;
– undo the bolts and take off the wheel;
– fit the emergency spare wheel on the
central hub and turn it to locate the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.

changIng a wheel (1/2)
Switch on the hazard warn-

Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level sur -
face where it will not slip (if neces -
sary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.

To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.
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 apply-
ing to the country you are in.
