TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM(continued)
Spare wheel
The emergency spare wheel does
not have a sensor and is thus not
detected by the system.
When it is fitted in the place of
another wheel, the system detects a
fault.
Replacing wheels / rims...
This system requires special
equipment (wheels, hubcaps...).
Consult your Renault Dealer to find
out which accessories are
compatible with the system and
which are available from Renault
accessory outlets: use of any other
accessory may impair the operation
of the system.
Tyre repair aerosols
Asaresultofthespecialwheels,
only products approved by
Renault's Technical Department
may be used.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM(continued)
Examples of illumination of warning lights on the instrument panel and display
flashing + lit up + faulty wheel(s) flashing
Meaning: the flashing wheel is slightly flat or over-inflated, check the tyre pressures.
flashing + lit up + faulty wheel(s) flashing
Meaning: the flashing wheel is very flat, stop as soon as possible and check the tyre pressures.
flashing + lit up + lit up + faulty wheel(s) flashing
Meaning: puncture, replace the wheel concerned or call your Renault Dealer.
lit up + faulty wheel(s) not lit up
Meaning: system fault (if, for example, the emergency spare wheel is fitted or winter tyres are fitted...).
lit up
Meaning: driving speed is not suited to the tyre pressures. Slow down or inflate the tyres to the full load pressure (see
the “tyre pressures” table.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)(continued)
If the ABS system is faulty, two
possible situations may occur:
1 - The orange warning
light illuminated on the
instrument panel.
The braking system then
operates in the same way as a
vehicle not equipped with an
ABS system. Contact your
Renault Dealer as a matter of
urgency.
2-The orange
warning light and
the red brake circuit
incident warning light
illuminated on the instrument
panel.
This indicates that both the
braking system and the ABS
system are faulty. Your vehicle
brakes may still partially
operate. However, it is
dangerous to brake suddenly
and it is essential to stop
immediately, as soon as traffic
conditions allow. Contact your
Renault Dealer as a matter of
urgency.The braking modulation provided
by the anti-lock braking system is
independent of the effort applied to
the brake pedal. In an emergency,
applycontinuous pressureto the
brake pedal - there is no need to
pump it repeatedly.

will illuminate on the instrument
panel. Press buttonBagain to
deselect this position. (The tell-tale
light will extinguish.)
Note:When the tell-tale light is
illuminated, the system will
prevent 4th gear being selected.For safety reasons, certain positions
may not be selected until the
mechanism is unlocked: press
buttonA.
Only engage D or R when the
vehicle is stationary, with your foot
on the brake and the accelerator
pedal released.
Driving
With the gear lever in position Por
N, switch on the ignition.
With your foot on the brake pedal,
move the lever from positionPorN.
For safety reasons, to move out of P
position it is essential to apply the

PROACTIVE AUTOMATIC GEARBOX(continued)
Moving off forwards
Select positionD.Inthemajorityof
traffic conditions, you will not have
to touch your gear selector lever
again: gear changing will take place
automatically at the right time and
at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and
road contour and adjusts itself to
the particular driving style you have
chosen.
Accelerating and overtaking
Fully depress the accelerator pedal
(or even take your foot off the
accelerator and press it again as far
as it will go).
The speed of depressing the pedal
will activate the “kickdown”
switch to obtain maximum
performance.
Special circumstances
• Snow position:If you are starting
off on ground where you are
likely to skid (snow, mud, etc.),
press switchC. Tell-tale lightG
on the instrument panel will
illuminate.
When you have started moving,
deselect this position by pressing
switchCagain. The tell-tale light
will extinguish.• In hilly or mountainous country:
If you cannot remain in 4th gear
because of the road surface and
the number of bends, we would
advise you to move the selector to
theD3position (by pressing
buttonBwhen the selector lever
is inDposition) or even2(2nd
gear hold), which will prevent
gear changing to speeds higher
than the one selected. Likewise, if
position1is selected, the vehicle
will remain in 1st gear and good
engine braking is retained.
If you are travelling downhill for a
long way, we would advise you to
place the lever inD3or2hold
(even1hold) to obtain the most
efficient engine braking and to
relieve the brakes.
• In cold weather, start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from
positionPorNand engaging it in
DorRto prevent the engine
stalling.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL / ENGINE OIL CHANGE
It is normal for an engine to use oil
for lubrication and cooling of
moving parts and it is sometimes
necessary to top up the level
between oil changes.
However, if more than 0.5 litre is
used every 625 miles (1000 km)
after the running in period, consult
your Renault Dealer.
Oil change frequency: Check the oil
level from time to time and
certainly before any long journey,
to avoid the risk of damaging your
engine.
Reading the oil level
The car must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
reading.
The oil level can be read:
- on the instrument panel;
- using the dipstick.Reading the level on the instrument
panel
For approximately 30 seconds after
the ignition has been switched on:
-if the level is correct,thedisplay
will show “oil OK”: display
message1
Special note:for more accurate
level information press the trip
mileage reset button or the
information scroll button on the
on-board computer during these
30 seconds.The squares which appear on the
display indicate the level. The
number of squares displayed is
reduced as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by a dash: display
message2.
To move to on-board computer
reading, press the button again).
-When the minimum oil level is
reached,the dashes and the word
“Oil” flash and the word “OK”
disappears (display message3)
and the warning light
lights up on the instrument panel.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE
Whatever type of stain is on the
trim, use soapy water (if necessary,
with warm water) based on:
• natural soap,
• washing up liquid (with one part
washing up liquid to 200 parts of
water).
Rinse off with a soft, damp cloth.
Special instructions
• Glass instrument panel(e.g.
instrument display, clock,
exterior temperature display,
radio display).
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean the glass, use
a soft cloth which has been
slightly moistened with soapy
water and then wipe clean with a
soft, damp cloth.
Finally,carefullydry off with a
soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning products containing
alcohol are not to be used.• Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our
Technical Department or warm
soapy water using a sponge and
dry off with a dry cloth.
Do not use cleaning agents or dyes.
