Système de surveillance de pression des pneumatiques (L38 - X38 - Re\

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).
1
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.

t yre repair product and

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-
gency spare wheel, it will not have a
sensor. When it is fitted to the vehicle,
the message “ Tyre pressure sensors
absent” is displayed on the instrument
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.
