Tyre safety and use of chains
Refer to the information on tyres in section 5 for advice on tyre maintenance and, depending on the version, the use
of chains.
(1)Special note concerning vehicles used at full load(maximum permissible all-up weight and weight towed)and towing
atrailer
The maximum speed must be limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre inflation pressure increased by0.2 bar.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
This system continuously monitors
the tyre pressures.
Tyre pressures should be adjusted
when the tyres are cold.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres arecold,assumean
increase of0.2to0.3bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
This function is an
additional driving aid.
However, the function
does not take the place of
the driver. It cannot, therefore,
under any circumstances replace
the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
Check the tyre pressures,
including the emergency spare
wheel, once a month.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor,
implanted in the inflation valve
which periodically measures the
tyre pressure.
The driver is constantly informed of
the correct tyre pressures and
possible variations on displayA
and the instrument panel.

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.
Display

lights on the instrument panel

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.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Park your vehicle on firm,
flat ground (if necessary,
placing a plank under the
base of the jack).
Switch on the hazard warning
lights.
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse orPon an
automatic gearbox).
Ask all the passengers to get out of
the vehicle and keep them away
from moving traffic.• If necessary, remove the wheel
embellisher.
• Use the wheelbrace1to slacker
off the wheel bolts slightly. Fit it
so that you press downwards and
not upwards.
• Offer up the jack horizontally, the
jack head must be slid underneath
the jacking point2under the body,
nearest the wheel concerned.• Screw up the jack by hand at first
to align the base plate (which
should be inclined further
inwards than the jack head). Use a
piece of wood under the base
plateifonsoftground.
• Insert the end of the wheelbrace4
into the jack3andturnafew
times to lift the wheel off the
ground.
• Remove the bolts.
•Takeoffthewheel.
• Position the emergency spare
wheel on the central hub and turn
it to locate the mounting holes in
the wheel and the hub.
• Tighten the bolts and lower the
jack.
• Tighten the bolts fully when the
wheel is on the ground.
If you have a puncture,
replace the wheel as soon
as possible.
A tyre which has been
punctured should always be
inspected (and repaired, if
possible) by a specialist.
