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

Message 2

The display only shows a
warning when the

This can only be detected with
the dipstick.

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.
