wheel RENAULT MASTER 2017 X62 / 2.G Owner's Manual

2.41
The self-locking differential controls the
torque transmitted to each rear wheel.
Depending on the grip conditions on
the road surface, and at low speeds
(under 20 mph / 30 kph), this device en-
ables wheel torque to move automati-
cally, thereby providing increased grip.
This enables the grip potential of each
wheel to be used to the fullest possi-
ble extent, thereby enabling the vehicle
to run over areas with decreased grip
(e.g.: work sites, muddy ground, etc.).
Once the rear wheels return to surfaces
with normal grip (eg: return to paved
roads), the self-locking differential
device will be deactivated, sometimes
accompanied by a noise (with no con-
sequence to vehicle behaviour). You
have the option of turning this device
off yourself, once normal grip condi-
tions have resumed, by briefly releas-
ing the accelerator
SELF-LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, it does not in-
crease the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you to
drive more quickly.
It cannot, therefore, under any cir-
cumstances replace the vigilance or
the responsibility of the driver.

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (6/6)Bleep
– If you hold the vehicle on a slope for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, you will strain
the system (risk of overheating the
clutch).
In this case, an intermittent beep-
ing sound will remind you that you
should put your foot on the brake
pedal or apply the handbrake.
– Never leave the vehicle with the engine running when in gear. For
safety reasons you will hear an in-
termittent beeping sound when you
open the door if you have not shifted
into neutral or you have not switched
off the ignition or depressed the
brake pedal.
Operating faults
i
If this warning light comes on
when the vehicle is in motion , it
indicates a fault in the system. In most
cases, you may still drive the vehicle,
although it will not function perfectly.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Towing a vehicle with a sequential
gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
– switch on the ignition;
– select neutral with the brake pedal
depressed;
– check that the gearbox is in neutral (by pushing the vehicle, for exam-
ple).
If you cannot find neutral you must tow
the vehicle with the front wheels raised.
The vehicle should always be towed
with the ignition switched off.
Accelerating and overtaking
– Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate gradually;
– to obtain maximum vehicle per-
formance regardless of the mode
selected (automatic or manual),
quickly depress the accelerator
pedal beyond the kickdown point.
The speed with which you depress the
pedal will allow you to downshift ac-
cording to the vehicle’s capabilities.
Parking
It is possible to park in gear (for exam-
ple, on a slope):
– with the ignition on, select a gear with your foot on the brake ;
– check that a gear other than N is dis- played on the instrument panel, then
remove the ignition key;
– apply the handbrake.
To disengage the gear, switch on the
ignition without starting the engine and
shift the selector lever to neutral with
the brake pedal depressed . Check
that N is displayed on the instrument
panel.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
You should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off, with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor-
oughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and under-
neath the body which forms damp
patches;
– bird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours paintwork and
may even cause the paint to peel
off;
wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by polish-
ing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driv-
ing in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani-
cal components (e.g. the engine com-
partment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure clean-
ing equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paint-
work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-
tions without washing the vehicle, par-
ticularly under the wheel arches and
body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
–
atmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather condi-
tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-
cautions in order to safeguard your ve-
hicle against such risks.

PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (1/2)
On equipped vehicles, this is located
underneath the chassis.
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.
In some cases (puncture at the rear,
vehicle with towing equipment, etc.)
it may be necessary to lift the vehi-
cle beforehand (via the lifting point
closest to the affected wheel) to pro-
vide access to the emergency spare
wheel (please refer to the informa-
tion on “changing a wheel: vehicle
with standard wheels” in Section 5).

TOOL KIT
Location of the tool kit
Tool kit 1 is located under the driver’s
seat.
To remove the tools, move the seat
forward and fold down the seatback
(please refer to the information on the
“Front seats” in Section 1).
Contents of the tool kit(depending on the vehicle)
– hydraulic jack 2;
– towing hitch 3;
– hubcap tool 4;
1
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: ri\
sk of
injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, you must only use these bol\
ts for the
emergency spare wheel: refer to the label affixed to the emergency spare 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 underside of the vehicle.
Nothing should be placed
on the floor area in front of
the driver as such objects
may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (1/6)
A
B
Do not attempt to use the
inflation kit if the tyre has
been damaged as a result
of driving with a puncture.
You should therefore carefully check
the condition of the tyre sidewalls
before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or
punctured tyres can be dangerous
and may make the tyre impossible
to repair.
This repair is temporary
A tyre which has been punctured
should always be inspected (and
repaired, where possible) by a spe-
cialist.
When taking a tyre which has been
repaired using this kit to be replaced,
you must inform the specialist.
When driving, vibration may be felt
due to the presence of the repair
product injected into the tyre.The kit is only approved
for inflating the tyres of the
vehicle originally equipped
with the kit.
It must never be used to inflate
the tyres of another vehicle, or any
other inflatable object (rubber ring,
rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when han-
dling the repair liquid bottle. If dro-
plets do leak out, rinse them off with
plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil-
dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle
in the countryside. Return it to your
approved dealer or to a recycling or-
ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service
life which is indicated on its label.
Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to re-
place the inflation tube and repair
product bottle.
The kit repairs tyres when
tread A has been da-
maged by objects smaller
than 4 mm. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts
larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre si-
dewall B.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in
good condition.
