FUSES
Fuse box 1
If electrical equipment does not
work, check the condition of the
fuses.
Open cover 2(underneath the
steering wheel or inside the glove
box).
To identify the fuses, refer to the
fuse allocation sticker (shown on the
following page).
In accordance with local
legislation or as a precautionary
measure:
Obtain an emergency kit of spare
bulbs and fuses from your
RENAULT Dealer.
Take out the fuse using tweezers 3,
located on the cover 2.
To remove the fuse from the
tweezers, slide the fuse to the side.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.
CORRECT INCORRECT
Check the fuse in question
and, if necessary, replace it
with a fuse of the same
rating.
If you fit a higher-amp fuse, it may
cause the electrical circuit to
overheat (risk of fire) in the event of
a consumer drawing an excessive
current.

BATTERY: troubleshooting
To avoid all risk of sparks:
- Ensure that any consumers(courtesy lights etc.) are switched
off before disconnecting or
reconnecting the battery.
- When charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
- Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short
circuit between the terminals.
- Never disconnect a battery less than twenty seconds after the
engine has been switched off.
- Make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting. Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid
which must not come into
contact with the eyes or
skin. If it does, wash the affected
area with plenty of cold water.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
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.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger should be
compatible with a battery with a
nominal voltage of 12 Volts.
With the engine switched off, it is
essential to disconnect the cables
connected to both battery terminals,
starting with the negative terminal .
Do not disconnect the battery when
the engine is running. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for the
battery charger you are using.
Only a well-charged and well-
maintained battery will have a long
and useful life and enable you to
start the vehicle’s engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and
dry.
Have the battery’s charge status
checked regularly:
 Especially if you use your vehicle for short journeys or for frequent
driving in town.  When the external temperature
drops (in winter), the charge
decreases . In winter, only use
electrical equipment which is
really necessary.
 Finally, you should understand that the charge decreases naturally
as a result of certain “permanent
electrical consumers” such as the
clock, After-Sales accessories, etc.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected
to + after ignition feed . In this case,
it is advisable to have your vehicle
fitted with a battery which has an
increased capacity. Contact your
RENAULT Dealer. If your vehicle is to be left stationary
for a relatively long time, disconnect
the battery or have it recharged
regularly, in particular during cold
weather. The equipment with a
memory, radio etc. will then have to
be reprogrammed. The battery must
be stored in a cool dry place,
protected from frost.
Special procedures may
be required to charge
some batteries. Contact
your RENAULT Dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which
may cause an immediate
explosion and charge the battery
in a well-ventilated area. Risk of
serious injury.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting
your vehicle from another vehicle’s
battery:
Obtain suitable jump leads (with a
large cross section) from a
RENAULT Dealer or, if you already
have jump leads, ensure that they
are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an
identical voltage: 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah)
which is at least the same as that of
the discharged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of
contact between the two vehicles
(risk of short circuiting when the
positive terminals are connected)
and that the discharged battery is
properly connected. Switch off your
vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle
supplying the current and run it at
an intermediate engine speed. Check that there is no contact
between cables
Aand Band that
cable A(+) is not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Start the engine as you would
normally. As soon as it is running,
disconnect cables A and B in the
inverse order (4-3-2-1).
Secure the positive cable (+) Ato the
(+) terminal 1 of the discharged
battery, then to the (+) terminal2 of
the battery supplying the current.
Attach negative cable (–) B to (–)
terminal 3 of the battery supplying
the current and then to (–) terminal4
of the discharged battery.
