CAUTION:
Do not touch the rain sensor and around it when
the wiper switch is in the “AUTO” position and
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The
wipers may operate unexpectedly and cause to
an injury or a wiper damage. .
The rain-sensing auto wipers are intended
for use during rain. If the switch is left in the
“AUTO” position, the wipers may operate
unexpectedly when dirt, fingerprints, oil film
or insects are stuck on or around the sensor.
The wipers may also operate when exhaust
gas or moisture affect the rain sensor.
. When the windshield glass is coated with
water repellent, the speed of the rain-sen-
sing auto wipers may be higher even though
the amount of the rainfall is small.
. Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.
. The rain-sensing auto wipers may not oper-
ate if rain does not hit the rain sensor even if
it is raining.

WARNING:
. Fuel is extremely flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. You
could be burned or seriously injured if it is
misused or mishandled. Always stop the
engine and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle when
refueling.
. Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap a
half of a turn, and wait for any “hissing”
sound to stop to prevent fuel from spraying
out and possibly causing personal injury.
Then remove the cap.
. Use only an original equipment type fuel
filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury.

NOTE:
The extended storage fuse switch is used for
long term vehicle storage. If the extended
storage fuse switch is broken, it is not necessary
to replace it. Remove the fuse from the switch
then replace only the fuse to the fuse box.
How to remove the extended storage fuse
switch:
1. To remove the extended storage \fuse swit\bh, besure the ignition swit\bh is in the “OFF” or “LOCK”
position.
2. Be sure the headlight swit\bh is in the “OFF” position.
3. Remove the \fuse box \bover.
4. Pin\bh the storage \fuse swit\bh and pull it in the dire\btion o\f the arrow.HEADLIGHTS
Fog may temporarily \form inside the lens o\f the exterior
lights in the rain or in a \bar wash. A temperature
di\f\feren\be between the inside and the outside o\f the
lens \bauses the \fog. This is not a mal\fun\btion. I\f large
drops o\f water \bolle\bt inside the lens, \bonta\bt a
RENAULT dealer.
Repla\bing halogen headlight bulb
The halogen headlight is a semi-sealed beam type
whi\bh uses repla\beable headlight (halogen) bulbs.
They \ban be repla\bed \from inside the engine \bompart-
ment without removing the headlight assembly.
CAUTION:
.High-pressure halogen gas is sealed inside
the bulb. The bulb may break if the glass
envelope is scratched or the bulb is dropped.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Gasoli\fe e\fgi\fe (\bodel with three–way
catalyst)
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gaso-
line will damage the three-way catalyst.
Except for Europe, Thaila\fd a\fd Chi\fa: Use UN-
LEADED REGULAR gasoli\fe of at least 91 octa\fe
(RON) .
For Europe: Use UNLEADED PREMIUM gasoli\fe of at
least 95 octa\fe (RON) .
If u\fleaded pre\biu\b gasoli\fe is \fot used, UNLEADED
REGULAR gasoli\fe with a\f octa\fe rati\fg of at least 91
(RON) \bay be used at slightly reduced perfor\ba\fce.
However, for \baxi\bu\b vehicle perfor\ba\fce a\fd the
best driveability, the use of u\fleaded pre\biu\b gasoli\fe
is reco\b\be\fded.
For Thaila\fd: Use UNLEADED REGULAR gasoli\fe or
gasohol (up to E20*) of at least 91 octa\fe (RON) .
*: Gasohol is alcohol ble\fded gasoli\fe. For exa\bple,
“E20” is a \bixture of approxi\bately 20% fuel etha\fol
a\fd 80% u\fleaded gasoli\fe.
For Chi\fa: Use UNLEADED REGULAR gasoli\fe of at
least 93 octa\fe (RON) .
Your vehicle co\bplies with GB18352.3-2005. Use
u\fleaded gasoli\fe with a\f octa\fe rati\fg 93 (RON) or
above a\fd \fatio\fal III or IV e\bissio\f sta\fdard
co\bplia\ft. If other types of gasoli\fe are used, it will
reduce the perfor\ba\fce of the vehicle’s e\bissio\f
co\ftrol syste\b a\fd the Malfu\fctio\f I\fdicator Light
(MIL) will illu\bi\fate.
Diesel e\fgi\fe*
Diesel fuel of at least 50 ceta\fe*
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use su\b\ber or wi\fter
fuel properly accordi\fg to the followi\fg te\bperature co\fdi-
tio\fs.
. Above í78C (208F) ... Su\b\ber type diesel fuel.
. Below í78C (208F) ... Wi\fter type diesel fuel.
CAUTION:
.Do not use home heating oil, gasoline or
other alternate fuels in your diesel engine.
The use of those or adding those to diesel
fuel can cause engine damage.
. Do not use summer fuel at temperatures
below í78C (208F) . The cold temperatures
will cause wax to form in the fuel. As a
result, it may prevent the engine from
running smoothly.
RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY NUM-
BER
Gasoli\fe e\fgi\fe oil
STI0732
For Europe (HR12DDR engine model):
5W-30 is preferable.
If 5W-30 is not available, select the viscosity,
from the chart, that is suitable for the outside
temperature range.
