TRANSPORTING OBJECTS IN THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
Always position the objects
transported so that the largest
surface is against:
- The rear seatback for normal loads
(example A).
- The folded down seat for maximum loads (example B). If you have to place objects on the
folded seatback, remove the front
head restraints before folding the
seatback so that is can be folded as
flat as possible against the seat base.
Always position the
heaviest items directly on
the floor. Use the lashing
points on the luggage
compartment floor, if these are
fitted to the vehicle. The luggage
should be loaded in such a way
that no items will be thrown
forward and strike the occupants
if the driver has to brake
suddenly. Fasten the rear seat
belts, even if the seats are not
occupied.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
It is normal for an engine to use oil
for lubrication and cooling of
moving parts and it is normal to top
up the level between oil changes.
However, contact your RENAULT
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 600 miles (1,000
km) after the running in period.
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 vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
reading.
To be able to read the exact oil level
and make sure that the maximum
level has not been exceeded (risk of
engine damage), the dipstick must
be used.
In the following pages, see Engine
oil level: topping up/filling.
The instrument panel display only
shows a warning when the
minimum oil level has been reached.Minimum oil level warning on the
instrument panel
When ignition has been switched on
for approximately 30 seconds:
-
if the level is above the minimum
level, the display indicates “oil
level correct”: message 1.
To gain a more precise indication
of the level, press the trip mileage
reset button or the information
scroll button on the trip computer. The squares which appear on the
display indicate the level. They
disappear as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by dashes.
To advance to trip computer
reading, press the button again.
-
if the level is at the minimum
level: the message “top up oil
level” appears on the display; the
squares are replaced by dashes
(message 2) and the warning light
is illuminated on the
instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon
as possible.
Message 1
Level

Message 2

level
The display only shows a
warning when the
minimum level has been
reached, not when the
maximum has been exceeded.
This can only be detected with
the dipstick.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL (continued)
Reading the level using the dipstick
- take out the dipstick;
- wipe the dipstick using a clean,lint-free cloth;
- push the dipstick in as far as it will go, (for vehicles equipped with a
“cap-type dipstick” C, screw in the
cap as far as it will go)
- Take out the dipstick again,
- read the level: it must never fall below min mark Aor exceed max
mark B. Consult your RENAULT Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Maximum engine oil level exceeded.
Under no circumstances should the
maximum filling level
Bbe exceeded:
this could lead to the engine racing or
even engine failure.
The oil level should only be read
with the dipstick as explained
above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level do not start your vehicle and
contact a RENAULT Dealer.
Take care when working in
the engine compartment as
the engine cooling fan may
start to operate at any
moment without warning.
Risk of injury.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL (continued)
- Unscrew cap 1.
- top-up the level (for information, the capacity between the minimum
and maximum readings on the
dipstick 2is 1.5-2 litres depending
on the engine);

engine;
- check the level using the dipstick 2
(as explained above);
Do not exceed the Maximumlevel
and do not forget to refit cap 1.

The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be off
and cold (for instance, before the
engine is started up for the first time
in the day).

booklet for your vehicle for
information regarding which grade
of oil to use.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
