ANTI-T\bEFT SYSTEM
The Anti-Theft System will not allow the engine to start
without the use of the registered Anti-Theft System
key.
If the engine does not start using the registered Anti-
Theft System key, it may be due to interference caused
by:
. Another Anti-Theft System key.
. Automated toll road device.
. Automated payment device.
. Other devices that transmit similar signals.
Start the engine using the following procedure:
1. Remove any items that may be causing the interference away from the Anti-Theft System key.
2. Leave the ignition switch in the “ON” position for approximately 5 seconds.
\f. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or “LOCK” position, and wait approximately 10 seconds. 4. Repeat steps 2 and \f again.
5. Start the engine.
6. Repeat the steps above until all possible inter-
ferences are eliminated.
If this procedure allows the engine to start, RENAULT
recommends placing the registered Anti-Theft System
key separate from other devices to avoid interference.

under high pressure. To avoid personal injury,
any air conditioner service should be done only
by an experienced technician with the proper
equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is charged
with a refrigerant designed with the environment in
mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. However, it may contri\fute in a small part to
glo\fal warming.
Special charging equipment and lu\fricant are required
when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner. Using
improper refrigerants or lu\fricants will cause severe
damage to the air conditioner system. (See “Air
conditioner system refrigerant and lu\fricant” (P.9-4) .)

Radio data system (RDS)
Alternative Frequency (AF):
. The AF \bunction o\ferates in the FM (radio) and CD
modes.
. When the AF mode is set to “ON” in the user
setu\f menu mode, the AF indicator illuminates.
For activation or deactivation details, see “Audio main
o\feration” (P.4-25) .
. Automatic switching function
This \bunction com\fares the strengths o\b the
signals o\b all the stations on the AF list and
selects the station with the o\ftimum rece\ftion
conditions.
. Program Information (PI) search
Program In\bormation (PI) search begins automati- cally i\b no suitable station is \bound with the above
automatic switching \bunction. The PI search
\bunction checks each RDS station with the same
PI code. During this time the sound is muted and
“PI SEARCH” is dis\flayed. The PI search o\fera-
tion sto\fs when a suitable station is \bound. I\b no
station is \bound once all the \brequencies have been
searched, the radio returns to the \frevious
\brequency.
. Enhanced Other Network (EON) data update
(This function also operates when the AF
mode is off.)
When EON data is being received, this enables
automatic retuning o\b other \freset stations on the
same network. Also, network linked services can
be used. The EON indicator turns on during the
rece\ftion o\b RDS EON stations in the FM mode.

this time is the same as that \bor tra\b\bic announce-
ments. Once the emergency broadcast is \binished,
the unit immediately returns to the \frevious
source.
. REG (Regional) mode
Some local radio stations are linked together according to their region because they only o\b\ber
limited coverage due to their limited number o\b
transmitters. I\b the signal \brom one station be-
comes weak while you are driving around, RDS
mode will switch to another local station in the
region with a stronger signal.
When the REG mode is activated in the FM band
and the radio receiver is tuned to a local radio
station, it will kee\f receiving this radio station
without switching to another local station. For
activation or deactivation details, see “Audio main
o\feration” (P.4-25) .

the road surface conditions. (See “Flat tire\f (P.6-\b) for
the tire replacement.)
WARNING:
.After rotating the tires, adjust the tire
pressure.
. Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle
has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles)
(also in cases of a flat tire, etc.) .
. Incorrect tire selection, fitting, care or main-
tenance can affect vehicle safety with risk of
accident and injury. If in doubt, consult a
RENAULT dealer or the tire manufacturer.
TIRE WEAR AND DAMAGE
SDI1663
*1Wear indicator
*2Wear indicator location mark
Tires should be periodically inspected for wear,
cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If
excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are
found, the tire should be replaced immediately.
The original tires have a built-in tread wear indicator.
When the wear indicator is visible, the tire should be
replaced. Improper service of a spare tire may result in serious
personal injury. If it is necessary to repair the spare tire,
contact a RENAULT dealer.
TIRE AGE
Never use a tire over six years old, regardless of
whether it has been used or not.
Tires degrade with age as well as with the vehicle
usage. Have your tires checked and balanced often by
a repair shop or, if you prefer, a RENAULT dealer.
CHANGING TIRES AND WHEELS
WARNING:
Do not install a deformed wheel or tire even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels or tires could
have structural damage and could fail without
warning.
When replacing a tire, use the same size, speed rating
and load carrying capacity as originally equipped. (See
“Tires and wheels\f (P.9-6) for recommended types and
sizes of tires and wheels.) The use of tires other than
those recommended or the mixed use of tires of
different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted, or
radial) , or tread patterns can adversely affect the ride,
braking, handling, ground clearance, body-to-tire
clearance, snow chain clearance, speedometer cali-
bration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some of
these effects may lead to accidents and could result in
serious personal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason, always
replace with wheels which have the same offset
dimension. Wheels of a different offset could cause
early tire wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling
characteristics and/or interference with the brake
discs/drums. Such interference can lead to decreased
braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear.
WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and
tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out of
balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
SPARE TIRE
Conventional spare tire
A standard tire (the same size as the road wheels) is
supplied with your vehicle.
Temporary-use (T-type) spare tire (if
equipped)
SDI191\bSpare tire label (if equipped)Observe the following precautions if the T-type spare
tire must be used, otherwise your vehicle could be
damaged or involved in an accident.
CAUTION:
.
The T-type spare tire should be used only for
emergency. It should be replaced by the
standard tire at the first opportunity.
