Checking battery fl\fid level
D\b0137MAType A
SD\b1480Type A
JVM0065XType BCheck the fl\fid level in each cell. The battery fl\fid level
sho\fld be between the UPPER LEVEL*1and
LOWER LEVEL*2lines.
\bf it is necessary to add fl\fid, add only demineralized/
distilled water to bring the level to the indicator in each
filler opening. Do not overfill.
1. Remove the cell pl\fgs
*A, if eq\fipped.
2. Add demineralized/disti\llled water \fp to the UPPER LEVEL
*1line.
3. Replace and tighten the cell pl\fgs.
. Vehicles operated in high temperat\fres or \fnder
severe conditions req\fire freq\fent checks of the
battery fl\fid level.
. Keep the battery s\frface clean and dry. Clean the
battery with a sol\ftion of baking soda and water.
. Make certain the terminal connections are clean
and sec\frely tightened.
. \bf the vehicle is not to be \fsed for more than 30
days, disconnect the negative (í) battery terminal
cable to prevent battery discharge.
. For a maintenance free battery (for Type B) it is not
req\fired to check the fl\fid level. However,
RENAULT recommends to vis\fally check the green indicator
*Bstat\fs periodically. \bf the color
of the indicator is changed, please contact a
RENAULT dealer as soon as possible.
For model with Stop/Start (\bdling Stop) System, see
“J\fmp starting” (P.6-8) .
J\fmp starting
\bf j\fmp starting is necessary, see “J\fmp starting” (P.6-
8) . \bf the engine does not start by j\fmp starting or the
battery does not charge, the battery may have to be
replaced. Contact a RENAULT dealer for replacing the
battery.

MAINTENANCE APPENDIX
INFORMATION ON THE MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME
The maintenance program includes the RENAULT service and additional operations. To maintain the original quality of your
RENAULT in terms of safety, comfort and performance, you must observe the maintenance program for \
your vehicle.
RENAULT SERVICE
The RENAULT service applies to all RENAULT vehicles and always includes oil change, oil filter replacement, checks, top-ups
and a check of your vehicle’s electronic system. The RENAULT service is carried out at the service intervals specified in the
maintenance program for your vehicle.
In addition to the service/oil change intervals set by RENAULT, the oil level should still be checked regularly. Your RENAULT
dealer is at your disposal to carry out this operation and check other levels, safety parts and for any wear.
ADDITIONAL OPERATIONS
The additional operations are customized to your vehicle: specific parts or fluids (in addition to the RENAULT service) will need to
be replaced in accordance with the service intervals specified in the maintenance program for your vehicle. RENAULT reserves
the right to modify its maintenance program at any time during the vehicle’s life, within the framework of its vehicle development
policy.
