spare wheel RENAULT ZOE 2014 1.G Owners Manual

2.12
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)
1
When fitted to the vehicle, this system
notifies the driver if one or more tyres
lose pressure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punctu-
red tyre, etc.).
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping a wheel (however this practice is not recommended);
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
This function is an additio-
nal driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vi-
gilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (3/3)
“CHECK TYRE PRESSURE SENSORS
The warning light
 flashes for
several seconds, then stays on, along
with the message “CHECK TYRE
PRESSURE SENSORS”.
This message appears along with the
© warning light.
They indicate that at least one tyre is
not fitted with sensors (e.g. emergency
spare wheel). Otherwise, consult an
authorised dealer.
Readjustment of tyre
pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted
when cold (please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures must be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Changing a wheel
The system may take sev-
eral minutes depending on
use for the new wheel pres-
sures to be recognised; check the
tyre pressures after all operations.
Tyre repair product and
inflation kit
Because the valves are specially desi-
gned, only use equipment approved by
the approved network. Please refer to
“Tyre inflation kit” in Section 5.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Please see the information on “Tyres”
in Section 5.
Contact an approved Dealer to fit new
tyres and to find out about available ac-
cessories compatible with the system
and available from your dealer network:
the use of any other accessory could
affect the correct operation of the
system or damage a sensor.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer- -
gency spare wheel, it will not have a
sensor. When it is fitted on the vehicle,
the warning light
 flashes for se-
veral seconds, then stays on, together
with the warning light
© and the
message “CHECK TYRE PRESSURE
SENSORS” appears on the instrument
panel.

1
Never leave tools unse-
cured in the vehicle: there
is a risk that they may be
thrown about during brak-
ing. After use, check that all the
tools are correctly clipped into the
tool kit, then position it correctly in
its housing: there is a risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the
tool kit, only use these bolts for the
emergency spare wheel: refer to the
label affixed to the emergency spare
wheel.
