SEAT BELTAlways wear your seat belt whentravelling in your vehicle. You mustalso comply with the locallegislation in the particular countryyou are in.

Before driving off:- First ensure that your driving

position is correct.- Then adjust your seat belt

correctly for maximumprotection.

Incorrectly adjusted seatbelts may cause injuriesin the event of anaccident.

Even pregnant women shouldwear a seat belt. In this case,ensure that pressure of the lapbelt on the abdomen is notexcessive.

Adjusting your driving position• Sit with your back firmly against

the seatback.This is essential to ensure thatyour lumbar vertebrae are in thecorrect position.

• Adjust the distance between theseat and the pedals.Your seat should be as far back aspossible for you to be able to pressin the clutch pedal fully. Theseatback should be adjusted sothat your arms are slightly bentwhen you hold the steeringwheel.

• Adjust the position of your headrestraint.For maximum safety your headshould be as near as possible tothe head restraint.

1.22

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTSThese are:

Front seat belt pretensioners(described below).

A force limiter.

Driver and front passengerairbags (described on thefollowing pages).

These systems are provided to actindependently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontalimpact.

There are three possibilities,depending on the force of theimpact:- protection is provided by the belt

only;- the pretensioner is triggered to

rectify belt position and take upplay in the belt;

- the airbag and the force limiter arealso triggered when there aresevere impacts.

Pretensioners for front seat beltsThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.

If the vehicle is subject to a severefrontal impact, piston 1immediately retracts the seat beltbuckle pulling the seat belt tightagainst the body and therebyimproving its efficiency.

• Have the entire restraintsystem checked followingan accident.

• No work whatsoever may beperformed on the pretensionersystem (computer, wiring, etc.).

• To avoid incorrect triggering ofthe system which may causeinjury, only qualified RENAULTnetwork personnel may work onthe pretensioner system.

• Testing of the electric triggersystem may only be carried outby a specially trained technicianusing special equipment.

• When scrapping your vehicle,contact your RENAULT Dealerfor disposal of the gas generator.


1.23

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)Force limiterAbove a certain severity of impact,this mechanism is used to limit theforce of the belt against the body sothat it is at an acceptable level.

Warning relating to theservice life of airbagsand pretensionersPyrotechnic systems for

airbags and pretensioners have alimited service life: refer tothe servicing booklet for yourvehicle for the replacementfrequency.

Driver and passenger airbagsAn airbag may be provided for boththe driver and the front passenger.

Airbag inscriptions on the steeringwheel and dashboard together witha label on the lower part of thewindscreen indicate that thevehicle is equipped with airbags.

1


1.24

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)

Driver and passenger airbags(continued)Each airbag system consists of:- an airbag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for thedriver and in the dashboard for thefront passenger;

- a computer for both systems,which includes the impact sensorand a monitor controlling theelectrical trigger system for the gasgenerator;

- one single indicator light 1 on theinstrument panel.

OperationThe system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on(ignition key in position M “ignitionon”).

If a severe frontal impact occurs,the airbag(s) inflate(s) (inapproximately 30 milliseconds),cushioning the impact of thedriver's head against the steeringwheel and the front passenger'shead against the dashboard. Theairbag then deflates immediatelyfollowing the impact so that thepassengers are not impeded in anyway when they get out of thevehicle.

The airbag system uses theprinciples of pyrotechnics. Thisexplains why, when the airbaginflates, it will generate heat,produce smoke (this does not meanthat a fire is about to start) andmake a noise upon detonation. Ina situation where an airbag isrequired, it must inflateimmediately and this may causesome minor, superficial grazing tothe skin.

Operating faultsIndicator light 1 lights up on theinstrument panel when the ignitionis turned on and then goes out aftera few seconds.

If it does not light up when theignition is turned on or if it flashes,there is a fault in the system.

Consult your RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible. Your protectionwill be reduced until this problemis rectified.


1.25

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag it is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to preventthe risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags and seat belts are integral partsof the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn,it exposes the occupants to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk ofminor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are alwayspossible with airbags.

The airbag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if thevehicle turns over.

airbags for driver and passenger• No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on the entire driver and passenger airbag system (computer,

wiring, etc.) except by qualified RENAULT network personnel.

• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may causeinjury, only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the airbag system.

• As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, is stolen orbroken into.

• When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.

• When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

1


1.26


All of the warnings below are givenso that the airbag it is notobstructed in any way when it isinflated and also to prevent the riskof serious injuries caused by itemswhich may be dislodged when theairbag inflates.

Warnings concerning the driver's airbag• Do not modify either the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.

• Do not cover the steering wheel boss.

• Do not affix any objects (pin, logo, clock, telephone support, etc.) to thesteering wheel boss.

• The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnelwithin the RENAULT network).

• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightlybent (see “Adjusting your driving position” in section 1), it will ensure thatthere is sufficient space for the airbag to inflate properly and to be fullyeffective.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag: location 1• Do not attach or affix with adhesive any objects (pin, logo, clock, telephone

support, etc.) on the dashboard near where the airbag is located.

• Do not place any objects between the dashboard and the passenger (animal,umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).

• The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard as there is arisk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep all partsof the body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard.

A REAR-FACING CHILD/BABY SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTEDTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT

IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A PASSENGER AIRBAG.

1.27


Side airbagsThis airbag may be fitted to each ofthe front seats and is activated at thesides of the seats (door side) toprotect the occupants in the event ofa severe side impact.

The markings 1 on the windscreenwill remind you of the presence ofthis equipment.

Warnings concerning theside airbag• Fitting seat covers: Seats

equipped with an airbag require special coversspecifically designed for yourvehicle. Contact your RENAULTDealer to find out if these coversmay be purchased fromRENAULT outlets. The use of anycovers other than those designedfor your vehicle (and includingthose designed for anothervehicle) may affect the operationof these airbags and reduce yourprotection.

• Do not place any accessories,objects or even an animalbetween the seatback and thedoor. This may prevent the airbagfrom operating correctly or causeinjury if the airbag is deployed.

• No work or modificationwhatsoever may be performed onthe seat except by qualifiedRENAULT network personnel.

• No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and theirmountings) originally fitted.

For special applications (e.g. fitting child seats) consult your RENAULT Dealer.

• Do not use any devices which give any play in the belts (clothes pegs, clips, for example) because a belt worn tooloosely may cause injuries in the event of an accident.

• Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.

• Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your knees with your seat beltaround them.

• The belt should never be twisted.

• Following a serious accident the seat belts in use at the time must be replaced. Likewise, have your seat belts replacedas soon as they show any signs of wear.

• When refitting the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be usedproperly.

• If necessary, re-adjust the position and tension of the belt.

CHILD SAFETY

Remember that a collision at30 mph (50 km/h) is the same asfalling a distance of 10 metres.Expressed in other terms,transporting a child without arestraint is the equivalent ofallowing him or her to play on athird-floor balcony which does nothave any railings.

In all countries there are regulationsgoverning the use of restraints forchildren and babies.

In Europe, children under 12 yearsof age or a height of less than1.50 m(1) (approximately 5 ft) musttravel in an approved seat that issuitable for the height and weight ofthe child.

The driver is responsible forensuring that this equipment isused correctly.

Child restraints for which typeapproval was obtained after January1992 offer a level of safety muchgreater than for restraints with typeapproval before that date.

It is therefore advisable to select achild restraint that complies withEuropean regulation ECE 44.

Restraints that comply with thislegislation must be marked with anorange label bearing the letter Efollowed by a number (whichstands for the country where it istype approved) and the year thetype approval was granted.

(1) Always comply with the laws of thecountry in which you are travelling.They may be different to theguidelines in this handbook.

Under no circumstancesshould babies or childrenbe allowed to travel sittingon the knees of another

passenger in the vehicle.

If a head-on collision occurs at30 mph (50 km/h), a childweighing 30 kg (66 lbs) willbe transformed into a missileequivalent to one tonne: you willfind it impossible to hold the child,even if you yourself are wearing abelt.

It is particularly dangerous to putthe belt round your child when heor she is sitting on your knee.Never use the belt for more thanone person at the same time.

The tables listed on the followingpages enable you to recognise thetypes of child seat that may be fittedto each seat in the vehicle inaccordance with the legislation.

Before installing a child seat in thefront seat (if installation ispermitted)

If the passenger seat is fitted withone, carry out the followingadjustments:- move the passenger seat as far

back as possible;

- set the seatback to its fully uprightposition;

- raise the seat squab as far aspossible;

- lower the headrest to its lowestsetting;

- move the seat belt height controlto the low position.

Refer to the Child safety equipmentbooklet available from theRENAULT Network to choose theseat suited to your child andrecommended for your vehicle.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)The right choiceThe safety of your children is alsoyour responsibility.

To ensure that your child has themaximum possible protection, werecommend that you use seatsobtained from a RENAULT Dealer.

Restraint systems for all categoriesare available. These systems havebeen developed in consultationwith the manufacturers and havebeen tested in RENAULT vehicles.

Consult your Renault Dealer andask him to help you to install it.

Category 0 et 0+ (0 to 13 kg)(0 to 28 lbs)A child's neck is very susceptible toinjury up to the age of two. In afront-facing seat there is a risk thatthe child will sustain neck injuriesin the event of a frontal impact.RENAULT therefore recommends arear-facing seat with a harness thatgives all-round protection (figure 1).

Category 1 (9 to 18 kg) (20 to40 lbs)Between the ages of 2 and 4, achild's pelvis is not fully developed.Restraints using the car'sthree-point belts are not adequateand there is a risk that the child willsustain abdominal injuries in theevent of a frontal impact. It istherefore advisable to use rear-facing seats (figure 1), bucket-typeseats (figure 2) or seats withharnesses.

To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you useRENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for yourcar and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will provide awarranty.

1.35

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) andcategory 3 (22 to 36 kg)To correctly secure the pelvis of achild of up to 12 years old, smallerthan 1.50 m and weighing less than36 kg, it is preferable to use childseats that can be combined withthree-point seat belts. This is abooster seat (figure 3) with beltguides to ensure that the belt will beworn flat over the thighs of thechild.

A booster seat with a height-adjustable seatback and a belt guideare recommended as this will allowthe belt to be worn as close to thebase of the neck as possible but noton it.

Place the headrest in the topposition to allow you to press theseatback of the child seat firmlyagainst the vehicle seatback.

If a booster seat without a seatbackis used, the vehicle's headrest willhave to be adjusted to suit thechild's stature; the upper edge of theheadrest must be at the same heightas the top of the child's head andshould never be lower than in linewith the child's eyes.

The standard classifies childrestraints in five categories:Category 0 : from 0 to 10 kgCategory 0+: from 0 to 13 kgCategory 1 : from 9 to 18 kgCategory 2 : from 15 to 25 kgCategory 3 : from 22 to 36 kg

1.36


DANGERIt is forbidden to install a rear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat if the vehicle is fitted with a front passenger sideairbag. The child may suffer very serious injuries if the airbaginflates.

Label 5 (on the dashboard) and marking 6 (front passenger sun visor)remind you of these instructions.


1.37


CHILD SAFETY

• No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and theirmountings) fitted originally.

• The fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system should be followed carefully.

• Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any objects between the child and the restraintsystem.

• The seat belt in the vehicle must be taut so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tensionregularly.

• Never wear the belt under the arm or behind the back.

• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child's stature.

• Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the vehicle is moving.

• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when he or she is asleep.

• Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident were to occur, it maybecome dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.

• Following a serious accident, have the seat belts and restraint systems in use at the time checked.

• Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if he or she is in a child seat.

• Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with these).

• Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.

• Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.

FUEL TANK

Useful capacity of fuel tank:Approximately 11 gallons (50litres).

Fuel filler cap: it is of aspecial type. If you have tochange it, make sure thenew cap is of the same type.

Consult your RENAULT Dealer.Never handle the cap near a sourceof heat or a flame.

System for cutting off the fuelsupply in the event of a severeimpactRefer to the paragraph in section 5on cutting off the fuel supply in theevent of a severe impact.

Fuel gradePetrol versionUse fuel which corresponds to theappropriate octane rating as definedby the particular standards in forcein each country.See “Engine Specifications”.

Diesel versionUse diesel engine fuel (DERV) only.Make sure that no water enters thefuel tank accidentally during filling.The fuel filler cap and neck must beclean and dust-free. The diesel fuelmust be high quality.

Rapeseed oil must notbe used under anycircumstances. Also, donot mix even small

amounts of petrol with diesel.


1.77

FUEL TANK (continued)Filling with fuelPetrol versionUse unleaded fuel only.

Using leaded fuel will damage thedepollution equipment and maylead to a loss of warranty.

To avoid the tank being filled withleaded fuel, the filler neck has arestrictor with a valve which onlyallows an unleaded petrol nozzle tobe used (at the petrol pump).- Insert the nozzle to open the valve,

as far as it will go.- Hold the nozzle in this position

while the tank is filled and thenrelease it.

Filling with fuel (continued)Petrol and diesel versionsA maximum of two fillingoperations may be made after thefuel feed has switched offautomatically for the first time asthe fuel tank is designed to allowroom for expansion.

Diesel versionUse diesel fuel only. When fillingthe tank, ensure that no water entersthe tank accidentally. The filler capand the neck must be clean anddust-free. The fuel must be of highquality.

Any operation ormodification on the fuelsupply system (computers,wiring, fuel circuit,

injector, protective covers...) isstrictly forbidden due to thesafety risks it may cause (exceptfor qualified staff from theRENAULT network.

Persistent fuel odourYour vehicle has a pressurised fuelsupply circuit. If a persistent fuelodour should occur, please:• stop the vehicle if traffic

conditions allow and switch theignition off;

• switch on the hazard warninglights and ask all passengers toleave the vehicle to keep themaway from the traffic;

• do not intervene or restart beforethe vehicle has been checkedby qualified RENAULT networkstaff.

SPECIAL FEATURES - PETROL VERSIONSThe following operating conditionsmay cause the catalytic converter tooverheat and thus reduce itsefficiency or even destroy it andcause heat damage to the vehicle:

• Faulty ignition, running out offuel or spark plug disconnectedoccurring as engine misfiring andsnatches when driving;

• Using leaded petrol;

• Using lubrication additives orfuel which is not approved byRENAULT;

• Loss of power;

• The fitting of non-recognisedsecurity systems which have beenintegrated into the fuel injectionsystem for immobilisationpurposes;

• Bump starting the vehicle, asunburned petrol in the system,may affect the catalyst if theengine does not start quickly.However, jump starting withjump leads across the battery ispermissible.

If you note any of the above faults,have the necessary repairs carriedout as soon as possible by yourRENAULT Dealer.

These faults may be avoided bytaking your vehicle regularly toyour RENAULT Dealer at theintervals specified in your“Warranty and Servicing” booklet.

Starting problemsTo avoid damaging the catalyticconverter, do not keep trying tostart the engine (using the ignitionkey, or by pushing or pulling thevehicle) without having identifiedand corrected the starting fault.If the fault cannot be identified, donot persist in attempting to start theengine and call a RENAULT Dealer.

Monitoring exhaust gasThe exhaust gas monitor will detectany malfunctioning of the vehicle’sexhaust gas depollution system.

If this system malfunctions, toxicsubstances may be released into theatmosphere or mechanical damagemay occur.

The warning light on theinstrument panel willindicate if there are anyproblems with the system.

It lights up when the ignition isswitched on and goes out within 3seconds.

- If it remains lit, consult yourRENAULT Dealer as soon aspossible.

- If it flashes, reduce the enginespeed until the light stopsflashing. Consult your RENAULTDealer as soon as possible.

Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such as grassor leaves can come into contact with a hot exhaust system.


2.05

SPECIAL FEATURES - DIESEL ENGINESDiesel engine speedDiesel engines are fitted withan injection pump incorporatinga mechanical governor whichprevents overrevving of the engineirrespective of the gear in use.

Lack of fuelIf the fuel tank has been draineddry, you may start the enginenormally after refilling the fuel tankprovided that the battery is wellcharged.

However, if after a few seconds andseveral attempts the engine fails tostart, air must be bled from thecircuits to reprime them (seeinformation on bleeding andrepriming in section 4).

Winter precautionsTo avoid any problems in icyconditions:• Ensure your battery is always

well charged.

• Ensure the fuel level in the tanknever drops too low to avoidcondensation forming at thebottom of the tank.

Vehicles fitted with a diesel fuelheaterThis allows diesel fuel to be usedwith no additives down to –18°C, orin the case of a vehicle usedregularly over short distances(engine cold) down to –5°C.

ADVICE ON ANTI-POLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUELRENAULT is actively participatingin the reduction of pollutantexhaust gas emissions and in savingenergy.

By virtue of its design, moderatefuel consumption and initialsettings your RENAULT conformsto current anti-pollution standards.Technical design, however, cannotachieve all. The fuel consumptionof your vehicle and the level ofpollutant exhaust gas emissions arevery much within your control.Make sure that your vehicle ismaintained correctly, use itcarefully and watch your drivingstyle.

MaintenanceNot observing the anti-pollutionlegislation may lead to the owner ofthe vehicle being prosecuted.Replacing parts of the engine, thefuel supply system and the exhaustwith parts which are not originalparts recommended by themanufacturer may mean that yourvehicle no longer conforms to theanti-pollution regulations.

Have your vehicle checked andadjusted by your RENAULT Dealerin accordance with the instructionsin your “Warranty and Servicing”booklet.

Your RENAULT Dealer has all theequipment necessary to ensure thatyour vehicle is maintained to itsoriginal standard.

Always remember that the emissionof pollutant fumes is directly linkedto fuel consumption.

Engine adjustments• Ignition: This does not require

adjustment.

• Spark plugs: Optimum conditionsof use, performance and outputdemand that the specifications laiddown by our design office berigorously adhered to.

If the spark plugs have to bechanged, use the make, type andgap specified for your vehicle’sengine. Consult your RENAULTDealer for this information.

• Idling speed: This does notrequire adjustment.

• Air filter, diesel filter: A blockedelement hinders output and mustbe changed.

• Injection pump setting: It must beset to the recommended values.


2.07

ADVICE ON ANTI-POLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL, DRIVING (continued)

Tyres• Inflation pressures which are

too low may increase fuelconsumption.

• The use of non-recommendedtyres may also increase fuelconsumption.

Driving• Drive carefully for the first few

miles until the engine reaches itsnormal operating temperature,rather than let it warm up whilethe vehicle is stationary.

• Speed is expensive.

• “Snappy” driving uses a lot offuel: drive with a “light rightfoot”.

• Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal to slow down rather thanuse the brakes wastefully andjudge the road well in advance.

• Avoid sudden acceleration.

• Do not overrev the engine inintermediate gears. Use thehighest gear possible withoutlabouring the engine.

• Try not to maintain the samespeed up a hill as you would onthe level; keep your foot in thesame position on the acceleratorpedal.

• Double declutching andaccelerating before switching offthe engine are superfluousactions in modern cars.

• Bad weather, flooded roadsDo not drive on floodedroads if the depth ofwater is above the loweredge of the wheel rims.


2.08

ADVICE ON ANTI-POLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING (continued)

General hints• Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all

the electrical units which are notreally needed.

However, (with safety always inmind), keep your lights on whenthe visibility is bad (“see and beseen”).

• Try to use the air vents. Driving at62 mph (100 km/h) with with thewindows open will increase theuse of fuel by 4%.

• For vehicles fitted with airconditioning, more fuel may beused during urban driving; switchoff the system when it is not reallyneeded.

• Never fill the fuel tank up to thebrim to avoid it overflowing.

• Do not leave an empty roof rack inposition.

• Use a trailer for carrying bulkyobjects.

• When towing a caravan, fit a winddeflector and adjust it properly.

• When you use your vehicle fordoor-to-door calls (short journeyswith long waits in between) theengine never reaches its normaloperating temperature. Try togroup your calls.


2.09

ENVIRONMENT

Recycled parts

Parts which can berecycled

Your vehicle has been designedwith the aim of caring for theenvironment.• Most versions are fitted with a

depollution system incorporatingthe catalytic converter, oxygensensor and active carbon filter(which prevents fuel vapourevaporating from the fuel tankinto the open air).

• These vehicles run on unleadedfuel only.

• Your vehicle comprises 87%recyclable parts and alreadycontains parts which are madefrom recycled materials (asmarked on the diagram above).

• 95% of the plastic parts in yourvehicle are marked with a symbolwhich allows the principalcomponent material to beidentified. This marking meansthat the parts removed can besorted more easily, makingrecycling of each of them easier.

In addition, your vehicle meetsthe requirements of Europeanlegislation concerning theprotection of the environment.

Make your contribution towardsprotection of the environment too!Do not dispose of parts replaced inthe course of routine vehiclemaintenance (battery, oil filter, airfilter, etc.) and oil containers (emptyor full of used oil, etc.) withhousehold waste.

Dispose of it through specialistorganisations. In all cases, complywith local legislation.

GEAR LEVER HANDBRAKE POWER STEERING

To select reverse(vehicle stationary)Move the lever to neutral, then liftup ring 1 against the gear lever knobto select reverse gear.

The reversing lights come on assoon as reverse gear is selected(ignition on).

To release:Pull the lever up slightly, press inbutton 2 and lower the lever to thefloor.

If you are driving with thehandbrake incorrectly released, thered warning light on the instrumentpanel will remain lit.

To apply:Pull the lever upwards.The lever should travel about 10notches to hold the vehicle. Yourvehicle has self-adjusting rear brakeshoes and the handbrake shouldonly be adjusted during a brakeoverhaul.

When the vehicle isstationary, make surethat the handbrake isproperly applied so that

the vehicle does not moveunintentionally.

Make sure the handbrake isproperly released when driving,otherwise overheating mayoccur.

Never leave the steering on full lockwhen the vehicle is parked (risk ofdamaging the power assistedsteering pump).

Never switch off theengine when travellingdownhill, and avoiddoing so when driving in

general (power steering andbrake servo will not function).


2.11

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)When braking sharply, the twoessential aims are to reduce thestopping distance and keep yourvehicle under control. However,there is a risk that road holding anddirectional control may be lost andthe wheels may lock when braking,depending on the nature of theground, weather conditions andyour reactions. The anti-lockbraking system (ABS) has beendesigned to combat this danger.

The safety enhancement is that thebrake control system prevents thewheels from locking, even if thebrakes are applied too sharply, andallows the vehicle to be steered andthus its direction to be controlled.Under these circumstances it isquite possible for the driver to steerthe vehicle and to avoid an obstaclewhilst at the same time applying thebrake. Also, this system allows youto optimise stopping distanceswhen the adhesion of one or morewheels becomes hazardous (wetroads, slippery or varying roadsurfaces).

Although this system allows you tomake maximum use of stoppingdistances, even with the ABS youstill have to take account of theactual condition of the road surface.It is still essential to follow the rulesof good driving practice (such asdriving at a safe distance to thevehicle in front). The fact that thevehicle’s safety has been increasedshould not encourage you to takerisks.Each time the system is activated,you will feed a certain degree ofpulsation at the brake pedal. Thesetangible signs will warn you that theadhesion between the tyres and theground has reached its limit andenable you to adapt your drivingstyle to suit the road conditions.

Operating faultsTwo situations must be considered:

1 - The warning light is

lit on the instrument panel.Braking is still assured, butwithout the action of the ABSsystem. Consult a RENAULTDealer as soon as possible.

2 - The warning lights

and are lit on the

instrument panel.This indicates a fault on one ofthe ABS braking components.Braking may be partiallyassured. It is howeverdangerous to brake sharply, soyou must stop immediately assoon as traffic conditions allow.Call for the assistance of aRENAULT Dealer as soon aspossible.

The braking modulation provided by the anti-lock braking system is independent of the effort applied to the brakepedal. In an emergency, apply continuous pressure to the brake pedal - there is no need to pump it repeatedly.


2.12

EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSISTThis is an additional system to ABSwhich helps reduce vehiclestopping distances.

Operating principleThe system allows an emergencybraking situation to be detected viaa sensor that measures the speedwith which the brake pedal isdepressed. In this case, brakingassistance instantly reaches itsmaximum power and allows ABSregulation to be reached as quicklyas possible.

ABS braking is maintained as longas the brake pedal is not released.

Lighting of the hazard warninglightsThese may light up in the event ofrapid deceleration.

This function is anadditional aid in case ofcritical driving conditionsto allow the vehicle

behaviour to adapt to suit thedriver.

However, the function does nottake the place of the driver. It doesnot increase the vehicle's limitsand should not encourage you todrive more quickly.Thus, it can under nocircumstances replace thevigilance or responsibility of thedriver when manoeuvring thevehicle (the driver must always beready for sudden faults which mayoccur when driving).

PROACTIVE AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (continued)Moving off forwardsSelect position D. In the majority oftraffic conditions, you will not haveto touch the gear selector leveragain: the gear changing will takeplace automatically at the right timeand at the most suitable enginespeed because the automatic systemtakes into account the vehicle loadand road contour and adjusts itselfto the particular driving style youhave chosen.

Accelerating and overtakingFully depress the accelerator pedal(or even take your foot off theaccelerator and press it again as faras it will go).

The speed of depressing the pedalwill activate the “kickdown”switch to obtain maximumperformance.

Special circumstances• Snow position: If you are starting

When you have started moving,deselect this position by pressingswitch C again. The indicatorlight will go out.

• In hilly or mountainous country:If you cannot remain in 4th gearbecause of the road surface andthe number of bends, we wouldadvise you to move the selector tothe D3 position (by pressingbutton B when the selector leveris in D position) or even 2 (2ndgear hold), which will preventgear changing to speeds higherthan the one selected. Likewise, ifposition 1 is selected, the vehiclewill remain in 1st gear and goodengine braking is retained.

If you are travelling downhill for along way, we would advise you toplace the lever in D3 or 2 hold(even 1 hold) to obtain the mostefficient engine braking and torelieve the brakes.

• In cold weather and particularlyif you are parked on a slope, startthe engine and wait a few secondsbefore moving the selector leverfrom position P or N and engagingit in D or R to prevent the enginestalling.

Ventilation in the passengercompartment is by “blown air”. Theventilation fan determines theamount of air intake. Vehicle speedhas a slight effect on this.

This principle improves the stabilityof the passenger compartment airtemperature.

The further the control is positionedto the right, the greater the quantityof air blown into the passengercompartment.

Air conditioning controlsIn winter, use the air conditioningoccasionally in order to maintainthe system in correct workingorder.Do not worry about any waterwhich may appear from underneaththe vehicle as this results fromcondensation.

Control D operates or stops the airconditioning system.

The system will not operate if airflow control C is set at 0.

Using the air conditioning system:- lowers the internal passenger

compartment temperature,especially in hot weather, whendriving in traffic or when thevehicle has been parked in thesun.

- reduces the humidity of the airblown inside the passengercompartment.

Fuel consumption increases whenthe air conditioning system is beingused. (Switch it off when it is notrequired.)

• Position 0The air conditioning is notoperating.

In this position, ventilation is thesame as for a vehicle without airconditioning.

• Position

Air conditioning is in normal mode.

Air is taken from outside thevehicle, providing a continuoussupply of fresh air.

If no cool air is producedCheck that the controls are setcorrectly and that the fuses are ingood condition. If both these pointsare correct, switch off the system(control D to 0) and consult aRENAULT Dealer.

In very hot weather or when thevehicle has been parked in the sun,open the doors for a few moments tolet the hot air escape before startingoff.

3.09


• Position

The air conditioning is at maximumoperation.In this position, air is taken fromthe passenger compartment andrecycled without taking in air fromthe outside.

When the system is set in thisposition, it allows you to lower thetemperature in the passengercompartment more quickly and toisolate yourself from the externalatmosphere (driving in pollutedareas, etc.).

If there are several passengers in thevehicle, prolonged use of thisposition (recycled air) may causethe windows to mist or may causeodours due to the air in thepassenger compartment not beingrenewed (smokers, etc.).

It is advisable therefore to return tonormal operation (external air) bymoving control D to positionas soon as the desiredtemperature has been reached andwhen you no longer need to isolateyourself from the externalatmosphere.

When the air conditioningsystem is operating, allwindows must be closed formaximum efficiency.

If there is an operating fault,consult your RENAULT Dealer.

Do not open the refrigerationcircuit: this may cause injury to theeyes or skin.

• Corrosives in the atmosphere- Atmospheric pollution (built-up

and industrial areas).- Saline atmosphere (near the sea,

particularly in hot weather).- Seasonal and humid climatic

conditions, especially road saltin winter.

• AbrasivesAirborne dust and sand, mud,road grit thrown up by othervehicles.

• Minor impacts

A minimum amount of protection isnecessary to guard your vehicleagainst such risks so as not to losethe benefit of these developments.

What you should not do• Wash the vehicle in bright

sunlight or freezing temperatures.

• Scrape off mud or dirt withoutwetting first.

• Allow external dirt toaccumulate.

• Allow rust to form followingminor impacts.

• Use solvents not approved by ourTechnical Department to removespots as this could damage thepaintwork.

• Drive frequently in snow ormuddy conditions withoutperiodically washing the vehicle,particularly under the wheelarches and body.

• Degrease or clean mechanicalcomponents (e.g. enginecompartment), underneath thebodywork, parts with hinges (e.g.inside the fuel tank flap) and paintedplastic external fittings (e.g.bumpers) using high-pressurecleaningapparatusor bysprayingonproducts not approved byRENAULT's Technical Departmentas this could give rise to corrosion orincorrect operation.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)What you should do• Wash your vehicle frequently,

preferably using ourrecommended cleaning productsand use a high-pressure jet torinse off the underside of thevehicle and the wheel arches inparticular to get rid of:- Spots of tree resin and industrial

grime.- Bird droppings which contain

chemical products whichrapidly discolour paintworkand may even cause the paint topeel off: the vehicle must bewashed immediately to removethese marks since it isimpossible to remove them bypolishing.

- Salt deposited in the wheelarches and underneath the bodyafter driving in areas where theroads are chemically treated.

- Mud in the wheel arches andunder the body which formsdamp patches.

• Keep well away from the vehiclein front when driving on freshlylaid surfaces to prevent paintdamage.

• Repair, or have repaired quicklypatches where the paint has beendamaged to prevent corrosionspreading.

• If your vehicle is protected by theRENAULT anti-corrosionwarranty, remember to visit thebody shop periodically. Consultthe anti-corrosion booklet.

• Respect local regulations aboutwashing vehicles (e.g. do notwash your vehicle on a publichighway).

• Before using a revolving brushtype car wash, check themounting of exterior equipment,additional headlights and rearview mirrors. Secure the wiperblades and radio aerial withadhesive tape.

Remove the car phone aerial if thevehicle has one.

• If the mechanical componentssuch as hinges have to be cleaned,their protection must bereapplied by spraying onproducts approved by ourTechnical Department.

We have selected specialproducts to care for your vehiclewhich may be obtained from aRENAULT Dealer.

CHANGING A WHEEL

• Remove the wheel embellisher(see wheel embellisher section).

• Use the wheelbrace 1 to loosenthe wheel bolts slightly. Fit it sothat you press downwards andnot upwards.

• To lift the vehicle: offer up thejack horizontally, the jack headmust be slid underneath thejacking point 2 under the body,nearest the wheel concerned.

• Screw up the jack by hand at firstto align the base plate (whichshould be inclined furtherinwards than the jack head). Use apiece of wood under the baseplate if on soft ground.

• Insert the end of the wheelbrace 4into the jack 3 and turn a fewtimes to lift the wheel off theground:

• Remove the bolts.

• Take off the wheel.

• Position the spare wheel on thecentral hub and turn it to locatethe mounting holes in the wheeland the hub.

• Tighten the bolts and lower thejack.

• Tighten the bolts fully when thewheel is on the ground.

Park your vehicle on firm,flat ground (placing a plankunder the base of the jack, ifnecessary).

Switch on the hazard warninglights.Apply the handbrake and engage agear (first or reverse).Ask all the passengers to get out ofthe vehicle and keep them awayfrom moving traffic.

If you have a puncture,replace the wheel as soonas possible.A tyre which has been

punctured should always beinspected (and repaired, ifappropriate) by a specialist.

TYRESTyre safety - road wheelsThe tyres are the only contactbetween the vehicle and the road, soit is essential to keep them in goodcondition.

You must make sure that your tyresconform to local road regulations.

When they need to bereplaced, only tyres of thesame make, dimension,type and profile should

be used.

When fitting tyres to the vehicle,they should either be identical tothose fitted originally orconform to those recommendedby your RENAULT Dealer.

Tyre maintenanceThe tyres must be in good conditionand the tread form must havesufficient depth; tyres approved byRENAULT's Technical Departmenthave wear warning strips whichconsist of risers 1 moulded into thetread at several points.

When the tread has worn down tothe level of these risers, they may beseen 2. The tyre concerned mustthen be changed as only about1.6 mm of tread rubber remains;this is insufficient for maintaining agood grip on wet roads.

Incidents which occur whendriving, such as striking the kerb,may damage the tyres and couldlead to misalignment of the frontaxle geometry.

An overloaded vehicle, longjourneys by motorway, particularlyin very hot weather, or continualdriving on poorly surfaced minorroads will lead to more rapid tyrewear and affect safety.

5.06

TYRES (continued)Tyre inflation pressuresTyre inflation pressures must beadhered to. (Remember to check theemergency spare wheel at the sametime.) Inflation pressures must bechecked at least once a month andalways before a long journey. (Referto the section on “Tyre inflationpressures”.)

Incorrect tyre pressureslead to abnormal tyrewear and unusually hotrunning. Factors which

may seriously affect safety andlead to:- poor roadholding,- the possibility of blow-outs or

of throwing a tread at highspeed.

Tyre inflation pressures dependon the loads carried by thevehicle and speeds. Adjust thepressures according to how thevehicle is used (see theinformation on tyre inflationpressures).

Inflation pressures should bechecked when the tyres are cold;ignore higher pressures which maybe reached in hot weather orfollowing a fast journey. If tyreinflation pressures cannot bechecked when the tyres are cold,take into account an increase of 0.2to 0.3 bar.

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Note: A label (depending oncountry or version) stuck on theedge or frame of the driver’s doorgives the recommended tyreinflation pressures.

Fitting new tyres

For safety reasons, thisoperation must only becarried out by aspecialist.

Fitting different tyres may affectyour vehicle as follows:- It may mean that your vehicle

no longer conforms to currentregulations.

- It may change the way ithandles when cornering.

- It may cause the steering to beheavy.

- It may cause tyre noise.- It may affect the use of chains.

Changing wheels aroundThis practice is not recommended.

Emergency spare wheelSee the instructions in Section 5 onthe emergency spare wheel and howto change a wheel.


5.07

TYRES (continued)Use in winter• Chains

For safety reasons, chains mustnever be fitted to the wheels onthe rear axle.

• “Snow” or winter tyresWe would recommend that thesebe fitted to all four wheels toensure that your vehicle retainsmaximum road holding.

Note: We would point out thatthese tyres may sometimes have:- A specific direction of travel- A maximum speed which may

be lower than the maximumspeed of your vehicle.

• Studded tyresThis type of equipment may onlybe used for a limited period andas laid down by local legislation.

It is necessary to keep to the speedspecified by current legislation.

As a minimum, these tyres may befitted to the two front axle wheels.

In all cases, we wouldrecommend that you contactyour RENAULT Dealer who willbe able to advise you on thechoice of equipment which ismost suitable for your vehicle.

Special note14 inch wheels with 165/70 R14renf tyre.They may be fitted with chainsprovided special chains are used.

Consult your RENAULT Dealer.

14 inch wheel with 165/75 R14 CtyreThese cannot be fitted with chains.

Emergency spare wheels fortemporary use.They cannot be fitted with chains.If one of the front tyres ispunctured, it is therefore essentialto fit one of the rear wheels in placeof the punctured front wheel and tofit the emergency spare wheel inplace of the rear wheel.

Apart from these two specificinstances, chains may be fitted toother versions without anyrestrictions.

Obtain suitable jump leads (with alarge cross section) from aRENAULT Dealer or, if your alreadyhave jump leads, ensure that theyare in perfect condition.

The two batteries must have anidentical nominal voltage: 12 volts.The battery supplying the currentshould have a capacity (amp-hours,Ah) which is at least the same asthat of the discharged battery.

An iced-up battery must be thawedout before current is supplied to it.

Ensure that there is no risk ofcontact between the two vehicles(risk of short circuiting when thepositive terminals are connected)and that the discharged battery isproperly connected. Switch off yourvehicle ignition.

Start the engine of the vehiclesupplying the current and run it atan average speed.

Secure the positive cable (+) A tothe (+) terminal 1 of the dischargedbattery, then to the (+) terminal 2 ofthe battery supplying the current.

Secure the negative cable (–) B tothe (–) terminal 3 of the batterysupplying the current and then tothe (–) terminal 4 of the dischargedbattery.

Check that there is no contactbetween cables A and B and thatcable A (+) is not touching anymetal parts on the vehiclesupplying the current.

Start the engine as you wouldnormally. As soon as it starts,disconnect cables A and B inreverse order (4-3-2-1).

Take care when movingthe battery as it containssulphuric acid whichmust not come into

contact with the eyes or skin. If itshould, wash the affected areawith plenty of cold water.Keep all flames, red-hot objectsand sparks away from the batteryas there is a risk of explosion.Take care when working in theengine compartment as thecooling fan may cut in at anytime without warning if theengine is hot.
