xAnti-lock braking warning
light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few

system.
Braking will then be as normal, without
the ABS. Contact an approved Dealer
as soon as possible.

The temperature should lower and the
warning light should return to a blue
colour. If not, stop the engine. Let the
engine cool down before checking the
coolant.
Contact an approved Dealer.

STOP AND START function (2/3)
Special cases
– For vehicles using a RENAULT card, while the system is operating and
the engine is stopped (traffic jam,
traffic lights, etc.), if the driver gets
out of their seat or unfastens their
seatbelt and opens the driver’s door,
the ignition will be switched off. To
restart and reactivate the Stop and
Start system, press the start button
(please see “Starting and stopping
the engine”).
– In the event of the engine stalling, if the system is operational, press
down the clutch pedal as far as it will
go to restart.
Conditions preventing the
standby of the engine
Depending on the vehicle, certain
conditions prevent the system from
using the engine standby function, in-
cluding when:
– reverse gear is engaged;
– the bonnet is not locked;
– for vehicles using a RENAULT card, the driver’s side door is not closed;
– for vehicles using a RENAULT card, the driver’s seat belt is not buckled;
– the outdoor temperature is too low or too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the battery is not sufficiently char- ged;
– the difference between the vehicle interior temperature and the automa-
tic climate control instruction is too
high; – the “Clear View” function is activated
(please see the information on “Air
conditioning” in Section 3);
– the engine coolant temperature is too low;
– automatic particle filter cleaning is underway;
or
– ...
Warning light
 is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
engine standby is not available.
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine (please refer to the
information on “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

4.7
Coolant level
With the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the MINI and MAXI marks
on reservoir 1.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI mark.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
LEVELS (1/3)
1
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
The engine must be
stopped before any action
(and not on standby): stop
the engine (please refer
to the information on “Starting and
stopping the engine” in Section 2).
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

4.8
Level 2
It is normal for the level to drop as the
brake shoes become worn, but it must
never drop lower than the “MINI" warn-
ing line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from the manufacturer’s net-
work or web site.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the brake
fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement interval
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Brake fluid level
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
LEVELS (2/3)
2
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Frequency of checking coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
– protection against freezing;
– an anti-corrosion protection for the cooling system.
Replacement interval
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.

OPERATING FAULTS (5/7)
On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
Steering becomes heavy. Assistance overheating. Consult an approved dealer.
Vibrations. Tyres not inflated to correct pres-
sures, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged. Check the tyre pressures: if this is not the
problem, have them checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
The engine is overheating. The cool-
ant temperature indicator is in the
warning zone and warning light
® comes on. Engine cooling fan not working. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
contact an approved dealer.
Coolant leaks. Check the coolant reservoir: it should con- tain fluid. If there is no coolant, consult an
approved dealer as soon as possible.
Coolant boiling in the coolant reser-
voir. Mechanical fault: damaged cylinder
head gasket. Stop the engine.
Contact an approved dealer.
Radiator:
If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never b\
e topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial drain\
ing of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct p\
roportions. Reminder: only products approved
by our Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
