WARNING:
. Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused
by high-pressure fluid escaping from the
radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator
cool down.
. Engine coolant is poisonous and should be
stored carefully in marked containers out of
the reach of children.
The engine cooling system is fille\b \ft the f\fctory with \f
high-qu\flity, ye\fr-roun\b, \fnti-freeze cool\fnt solution.
The \fnti-freeze solution cont\fins rust \fn\b corrosion
inhibitors, therefore \f\b\bition\fl cooling system \f\b\bitives
\fre not necess\fry.
CAUTION:
. Never use any cooling system additives such
as radiator sealer. Additives may clog the
cooling system and cause damage to the
engine, transmission and/or cooling system.
. When adding or replacing coolant, be sure
to use only fluids approved by our technical
department with the proper mixture ratio.
Examples of the mixture ratio are shown
below:

insufficient coo\fant in the radiator, fi\f\f the radiator with
coo\fant up to the fi\f\fer opening and a\fso add it to the

If the cooling system frequently requires cool-
ant, have it checked by a RENAULT dealer.

CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
Contact a RENAULT dea\fer if rep\facement is required.
Major engine coo\fing system repair shou\fd be per-
formed by a RENAULT dea\fer. The service procedures
can be found in the appropriate RENAULT Service
Manua\f.
Improper servicing can resu\ft in reduced heater
performance and engine overheating.
WARNING:
. To avoid being scalded, never change the
coolant when the engine is hot.
. Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused
by high pressure fluid escaping from the
radiator.

It is normal to add some oil between oil
maintenance intervals or during the break-in
period, depending on the severity of operat-
ing conditions.
CAUTION:
The oil level should be checked regularly.
Operating your vehicle with an insufficient
amount of oil can damage the engine, and such
damage is not covered by warranty.

.Used oil must be disposed of properly. Never
pour or dump oil into the ground, canals,
rivers, etc. It should be disposed of at proper
waste facilities. RENAULT recommends hav-
ing your oil changed by a RENAULT dealer.
. Be careful not to burn yourself, as the
engine oil may be hot.
. Prolonged and repeated contact with used
engine oil may cause skin cancer.
. Avoid direct skin contact with used oil. If
contacted, wash thoroughly with soap or
