Tyre safety and use of snow chains
Refer to the information on “Tyres” in Section 5 for the servicing conditions and, depending on the\
version, the use of chains.
(1) Special note concerning vehicles used fully laden (maximum permissible all-up weight) and towing a trailer.
The maximum speed must be limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) (48 mph (80 km/h) for van versions) and the tyre pressure in-
creased by 0.2 bar.

Choosing a child seat mounting
CHILD SAFETY : choice of child seat mounting
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated
by the child seat manufacturer are re-
spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly fastened by pulling it up, then
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by
moving it from side to side and back
to front: the seat should remain firmly
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been
installed at an angle and that it is not
resting against a window.
No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system
(belts, seats and their
mountings) originally fitted.
The seat belt must never
be twisted or the tension
relieved. Never pass the
shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor-
mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved Dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.
Do not use the child seat
if it may unfasten the seat
belt restraining it: the base
of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat
belt.

SPEcIAl fEA tURES of PEtRol vERSIoNS
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such as
grass or leaves can come into con-
tact with the hot exhaust system.
The following operating conditions
should be avoided:
–
driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
–

using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives
which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
–
faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
disconnected spark plugs resulting
in the engine misfiring or cutting out
when driving;
–

loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.

Conseils antipollution, économies de carburant, conduite (X76 - Rena\
ult)
ENG_NU_854-2_X76LL_Renault_2
ADvIcE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all electri-
cal components which are not really
needed. h
owever (safety first), keep
your lights on when the visibility is
poor (“see and be seen”).
–

Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%. –

In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning , it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in city conditions) when it is
used. For vehicles fitted with manual
air conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption and therefore helping
to protect the environment:
–
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
–

Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
–

Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
–

It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob -
jects.
–

When towing a caravan, fit an ap -
proved wind deflector and adjust it
carefully; –

Avoid using the vehicle for door -
to-door calls (short journeys with
long waits in between) because the
engine never reaches its normal op-
erating temperature.
t yres
– Inadequate pressures may increase
fuel consumption.
–
The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.

Remorquage : dépannage (X76 - Renault)
ENG_NU_854-2_X76LL_Renault_5
Only  use the front 1 and rear  towing   
points 2 (never use the drive shafts).
These towing points may only be used
for in-line traction: never use them for
lifting the vehicle directly or indirectly.
Towing: breakdown
When the engine is stopped,
steering and braking assist-
ance are not operational.
t he  steering  wheel  must  be  un- 
locked
  and  the ignition  key must  be  
in
  position m  (ignition on) to provide   
s
top  lights  and  direction  indicators   
on
  the  towed  vehicle.  At night  the ve- 
hicle
 must have its lights on.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact your approved Dealer.
tOWing:  breakdown
1
2
– Use a rigid towing bar. If a
rope or cable is used (where
the law allows this), the ve-
hicle being towed must be
able to brake.
–

A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
–

Avoid accelerating or braking sud -
denly when towing, as this may
result in damage being caused to
the vehicle.
–

When towing a vehicle, it is ad -
visable not to exceed 1
5 mph 
(25 km/h).
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.

first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the towing assembly must not exceed\
48 mph (80 km/h) and the tyre pressure must be in-
