SEAT BELTS Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your car. You must also comply with the local legislation in the particular country you are in. Before driving off: - First ensure that your driving position is correct. - Then adjust your seat belt to provide maximum protection.

Adjusting your driving position • Sit with your back firmly against the seatback. This is essential to ensure that your lumbar vertebrae are in the correct position. • Adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat should be as far back as possible for you to be able to press in the clutch pedal fully. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel. • Adjust the position of your head restraint. For maximum safety your head should be as near as possible to the head restraint.

Incorrectly adjusted seat belts may cause injuries in the event of an accident. Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this case, ensure that the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen but do not allow any slack.

• Adjust the height of the seat. This adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible vision. • Adjust the position of the steering wheel.

2

Adjusting the seat belts Sit with your back firmly against the seatback. The shoulder strap 1 should be as close to the base of the neck as possible but not on it. The lap strap 2 should be held firmly over the thighs and against the pelvis. The belt should be worn so that it is as close to the body as possible, i.e. avoid wearing heavy clothing or having bulky objects under the belts.

SEAT BELTS The following information applies to both the vehicle's front and rear seat belts.

• No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their mountings) fitted originally. For special applications (e.g. fitting child seats) consult your Renault Dealer. • Do not use devices which give any play in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely risks causing injuries in case 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 belt around 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 replaced as 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 used properly. • If necessary, readjust the position and tension of the belt.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS These are: ■ buckle pretensioners, ■ driver's seat lapbelt pretensioner, ■ load limiters, ■ driver's and passenger front airbags. These systems are provided to act independently or together when the vehicle suffers a frontal impact. Depending on the force of the impact the system may engage: - seat belt locking; - the buckle pretensioner (which triggers to take up the seat belt play); - the lap pretensioner (for the driver’s seat), the low volume front airbag and the load limiter; - the large volume front airbag.

• Following an accident, have the entire restraint system checked. • No operations whatsoever are permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, airbags, computers, wiring) or use on any other vehicle, even if identical.

2

1

Pretensioners With the ignition switched on, if there is a severe frontal impact and depending on the force of the impact, the system may engage: - piston 1 which immediately retracts the seat belt; - piston 2 on the driver’s seat. The pretensioners hold the seat belt against the body and thus increase its efficiency.

• To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the pretensioner and airbags system. • Testing of the electric trigger system may only be carried out by a specially trained technician using special equipment. • When the vehicle is scrapped, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the pretensioner and airbag gas generators.

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

Driver and passenger airbags

Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.

An airbag may be provided for both the driver and the front passenger. An “Airbag” marking on the steering wheel and dashboard and a label in the lower section of the windscreen inform you of the presence of additional means of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc) in the passenger compartment. Each airbag system consists of: - An airbag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger. - A computer for both systems, which includes the impact sensor and a monitor controlling the electrical trigger system for the gas generator. - a single warning light on the instrument panel.

Warning relating to the service life of airbags and pretensioners Pyrotechnic systems for airbags and pretensioners have a limited service life: refer to the servicing booklet for your vehicle for the replacement frequency.

The airbag system uses the principles of pyrotechnics. This explains why, when the airbag inflates, it will generate heat, produce smoke (this does not mean that a fire is about to start) and make a noise upon detonation. In a situation where an airbag is required, it must inflate immediately and this may cause some minor, superficial grazing to the skin.

Operation This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on. If a severe frontal impact occurs, the air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver's head and chest against the steering wheel and the front passenger's head against the dashboard. The air bag then deflates immediately so that the passengers are not impeded in any way when they get out of the vehicle.

Special feature of the front air bag There are two volumes of operation depending on the force of the impact: - “low volume” air bag, this is the first degree of operation; - “large volume” air bag, the air bag seams rip so that a larger volume of air is released into the bag (for the most forceful impacts).

Faults Warning light 1 lights up on the instrument panel when the ignition is turned on and then goes out after a few seconds. If it does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or lights up when the engine is running, there is a fault in the system. Consult your Renault Dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be reduced until this problem is rectified.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued) Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag • Do not adjust either the steering wheel or the steering wheel cushion. • Do not cover the steering wheel cushion. • Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel cushion. • The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from the RENAULT network). • Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. If you sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on Adjusting your driving position in Section 1), you will ensure that there is sufficient space for the airbag to inflate properly and to be fully effective.

A

All the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag: • Do not attach or affix any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard with adhesive near where the airbag is located A. • Nothing should be placed between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.). • The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep all parts of the body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard. • You should reactivate the airbag as soon as you remove the child seat from the front passenger seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger in the event of an impact. IT IS FORBIDDEN TO FIT A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THE RESTRAINING METHODS ADDITIONAL TO THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT ARE NOT DEACTIVATED. (Refer to the information on Deactivation of passenger airbags in Section 1).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR OUTER SEAT BELTS These are: ■ Seat belt pretensioners integrated with inertia reels. ■ Load limiter.

These systems are provided to act independently or together when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact. There are two possibilities, depending on the force of the impact: - protection is provided by the belt only; - the pretensioner is triggered to rectify seat belt play.

Rear seat belt pretensioners This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on. If the vehicle is subject to a severe frontal impact, a piston immediately retracts the seat belt buckle pulling the seat belt tight against the body, thereby improving its efficiency.

• Following an accident, have the entire restraint system checked. • No operations whatsoever are permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, airbags, computers, wiring) or use on any other vehicle, even if identical.

Load limiter Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.

SIDE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS Warnings concerning the side air bag • Fitting seat covers: Seats equipped with an airbag require special covers specifically designed for your vehicle. Consult your RENAULT Dealer to find out if these covers may be purchased from RENAULT outlets. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of these airbags and reduce your protection.

B A B A

Lateral airbags A

Curtain airbags B

These are airbags fitted to each front seat, and the rear seats in some vehicles, which are triggered on the side of the seat (door side) to protect the passengers from severe side impacts.

These are airbags fitted along the top of the side of the vehicle and which are triggered along the front and rear side windows to protect the passengers in the event of a severe side impact.

The airbag operates through the slits in the seatbacks (door side): never put any objects in the slits.

• Do not place any accessories, objects or even animals between the seat back, the door and the internal fittings. This may prevent the airbag from operating correctly or cause injury if the air bag is deployed. • No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the internal fittings, except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.

A marking on the windowscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc) in the passenger compartment.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT All the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the 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 parts of 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 of minor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with airbags. The airbag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if the vehicle turns over. • No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on the entire 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 cause injury, 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 or broken 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).

CHILD SAFETY In all countries there are regulations governing the use of restraint systems for children and babies. In Europe children under 12 years of age or smaller than 1.50 m(1) must be seated in an approved safety device which is suitable for the weight and size of the child. The driver is responsible for ensuring that this equipment is used correctly. Child restraints for which approval was obtained after January 1992 offer a level of safety much greater than for restraints with approval before that date. It is therefore advisable to select a child restraint that complies with European regulation ECE 44. Restraints that comply with this legislation must be marked with an orange label bearing the letter E followed by a number (which stands for the country where it is type approved) and the year in which the type approval was granted.

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

Remember that a collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres. Expressed in other terms, transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a third-floor balcony which does not have any railings.

Under no circumstances should babies or children be allowed to travel sitting on the knees of another passenger in the vehicle. If a head-on collision occurs at 30 mph (50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kg (66 lbs) will be transformed into a missile equivalent to one tonne: you will find it impossible to hold the child, even if you yourself are wearing a belt. It is particularly dangerous to put the belt round your child when he or she is sitting on your knee. Never use the belt for more than one person at the same time.

The tables on the following pages inform you of the types of seat that can be fitted in each of the vehicle seat positions on the vehicle in accordance with the European directive. Before installing a child seat in the front seat (if fitting is permitted) If the passenger seat is fitted with one, carry out the following adjustments: - pull back the seat as far as possible, - straighten the seatback as much as possible, - raise the seat squab as far as possible, - pull the head rest up to its maximum position, - Set the seat belt height control to the low position. Refer to the Child safety equipment booklet available from the RENAULT Network to choose the seat suited to your child and recommended for your vehicle.

CHILD SAFETY (continued) The right choice The safety of your children is also your responsibility. To ensure that your child has the maximum possible protection, we recommend that you use seats obtained from a RENAULT Dealer. If your vehicle is fitted with an Isofix system you should use an Isofix seat (see section 1, paragraph “Isofix child seat attachment system”). Restraint systems for all the categories are available. These systems have been developed in consultation with the manufacturers and have been tested in RENAULT vehicles. Consult your RENAULT Dealer and ask him to help you install it.

1

0 and 0+ (0 to 13 kg) categories A child's neck is very susceptible to injury up to the age of two. In a front-facing seat there is a risk that the child will sustain neck injuries in the event of a frontal impact. RENAULT therefore recommends a rear-facing seat with a harness that gives all-round protection (figure 1).

To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use RENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for your car and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will provide a warranty.

2

Category 1 (9 to 18 kgs) (20 to 40 lbs) Between the ages of 2 and 4 years, a child's pelvis is not fully developed. Restraints using the vehicle's three-point belts are not adequate and there is a risk that the child will sustain abdominal injuries in the event of a frontal impact. It is therefore advisable to use rear-facing seats (figure 1), bucket-type seats (figure 2) or seats with harnesses. Adjust the headrest to the highest position to allow you to press the seatback of the child seat firmly against the vehicle seatback.

Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) and category 3 (22 to 36 kg) To correctly restrain the pelvis of a child up to 12 years of age, less than 1.50 m tall and weighing less than 36 kg, it is preferable to use seats which can be combined with three-point seat belts (figure 3) with strap guides to ensure that the three-point seat belt lies flat against the child's thighs.

A booster seat with a height-adjustable seatback and a belt guide are recommended as this will allow the belt to be worn as close to the base of the neck as possible but not on it. Place the headrest in the top position to allow you to press the seatback of the child seat firmly against the vehicle seat back. If a booster seat without a seatback is used, the vehicle's headrest will have to be adjusted to suit the child's stature; the upper edge of the head rest must be at the same height as the top of the child's head and should never be lower than in line with the child's eyes.

The standard classifies child restraints in five categories: Category 0 : from 0 to 10 kg (0 to 22 lbs) Category 0+: from 0 to 13 kg (0 to 28 lbs) Category 1 : from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs) Category 2 : from 15 to 25 kg (33 to 55 lbs) Category 3 : from 22 to 36 kg (48 to 80 lbs)

DANGER As front passenger airbag triggering and the position of a rear-facing child seat are incompatible, it is not permitted to install such a seat in this position unless the vehicle is fitted with an airbag deactivation device. Refer to the information on deactivating the front passenger airbag. The child may suffer very serious injuries if the airbag inflates. Label 4 (on the dashboard) and markings 5 (on the sun visor) remind you of these instructions.

Deactivation of passenger airbag

the

front

(if fitted) You must deactivate the front left-hand airbag before fitting a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat. To deactivate the airbag turn off the ignition, push and turn lock 6 to the OFF position. The airbag is deactivated.

With the ignition on, it is essential to check that AIRBAG OFF indicator light 7 on the dashboard is lit up. This warning light remains lit to confirm that you can fit a child seat, as the left-hand airbag has been deactivated. Local legislation regarding the transport of children must be respected.

CHILD SAFETY (continued) Activation of passenger airbag

the

front

You should reactivate the airbag as soon as you remove the child seat from the front passenger seat to ensure the protection of your front passenger in the event of an impact. To reactivate the airbag turn off the ignition, push and turn lock 6 to the ON position. Switch the ignition back on, and then check that AIRBAG OFF indicator light 7, goes out. The airbag is activated.

Operating faults It is FORBIDDEN to fit a rear-facing child seat to the front passenger seat if the airbag activation/deactivation system is faulty. We do not recommend fitting any other kind of passenger seat device. Consult your RENAULT Dealer as soon as possible.

The passenger airbag must be activated or deactivated with the ignition off. If it is handled with the ignition on, the

and

warning lights come on: the passenger airbag is deactivated. To return the airbag status to the lock position, switch the ignition off and then on again.

CHILD SAFETY Isofix - mounting system for child seats This is a new procedure for installing a child seat. It can be used on the rear side seat positions of the vehicle. It consists of the following components: • Two anchoring rings per seat located between the seat the seatback; • A special RENAULT child seat fitted with two catches which hook onto the two rings.

Only special RENAULT seats are approved for this vehicle. To purchase these seats, please contact your RENAULT Dealer. These seats can also be installed conventionally in other vehicles using a three-point seat belt.

• Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the seat mounting mechanism at the anchorage points (gravel, rags, toys, etc.). • Always remember to fasten the seat belts on child seats for all journeys.

CHILD SAFETY (continued) CHILD SAFETY • No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their mountings) fitted originally. • Follow carefully the instructions for fitting provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system. • Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system. • The seat belt in the vehicle must be taut so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tension regularly. • 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 may become 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/she is in a restraint device. • 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.

Display 1 The location differs depending on the vehicle.

General reset and trip mileage recorder reset button To reset the trip mileage recorder, the display must show the “trip mileometer” function. Then press and hold button 2.

Interpreting values displayed after resetting The values showing average fuel consumption, range and average speed will become more stable and reliable the further you travel since the last time the reset key was pressed.

For the first few miles after pressing the reset key you may notice: • That the range increases as you travel. This is normal. Average fuel consumption may decrease when: - the car stops accelerating. - the engine reaches its operating temperature (engine cold when reset button pressed). - When driving from a built-up area onto the open road. Therefore, if the average fuel consumption decreases, the range will increase. • That the average fuel consumption increases when the vehicle is stationary and the engine idling. This is normal since the computer takes account of fuel used during idling. Note: resetting is automatic when the maximum capacity of any of the memories is exceeded.

VOICE SYNTHESISER The car speaks to you...

Types of spoken information

The spoken information is relayed automatically and acts as a back-up for the visual information.

The type of spoken information depends on the vehicle equipment level and monitors the following functions: - oil pressure, - braking circuit, - electrical circuit, - engine overheating, - steering column locking system, - minimum fuel level, - fuel injection, - automatic gearbox, - door(s), luggage compartment, bonnet not correctly shut, - lights on, - handbrake on, - lights not working properly (side lights, brake lights, etc.), - variable power assisted steering, - washer minimum level, - seat belt reminder, - engine oil minimum level, - Electronic Stability Program (ESP), - cruise control/speed limiter, - tyre pressure fault/puncture, - etc.

The voice synthesiser keeps you constantly informed about the condition of the principal components of your vehicle. This information covers both precautionary and advisory information, and in certain cases one or more warning lights will light up on the instrument panel. In this case, see the “instrument panel” section.

A

Fuel grade Use fuel which corresponds to the appropriate octane rating as defined by the particular standards in force in each country. See Engine specifications. Make sure that no water accidentally enters the fuel tank during filling. The fuel filler cap and neck must be clean and dust-free. The fuel should be of the correct grade.

Useable capacity of fuel tank: Approx. 70 litres (15.4 gallons). To open the flap A, press the hinge to open it. There is a cap holder 1 on the fuel filler flap for holding the cap when filling the tank.

Fuel filler cap: this is of a special type. If you have to change it, make sure the new cap is of the same type. Consult your RENAULT Dealer. Never handle the cap near a source of heat or a flame.

Do not mix even small amounts of petrol with diesel.

FUEL TANK (continued) Filling with fuel

Filling with fuel (continued)

Persistent fuel odour

Petrol versions Only use unleaded petrol. Using leaded petrol will damage the anti-pollution system and may lead to a loss of warranty. To ensure the fuel tank is not filled with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler neck contains a restrictor fitted with a valve which only allows the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be used (at the pump). - Insert the nozzle as far as it will go and so as to open the valve. - Keep the nozzle in this position throughout the entire filling operation.

Petrol and diesel versions No more than two filling operations may be made after the fuel feed has switched off automatically for the first time because there must be sufficient space in the fuel tank to allow for expansion.

If you notice a persistent odour of fuel, you should: • stop the vehicle if traffic conditions allow and switch off the ignition; • switch on the hazard warning lights and ask your passengers to leave the vehicle and stay clear of the traffic; • not work on, or restart, the vehicle before it has been inspected by qualified staff from the RENAULT network.

Any operation or modification on the fuel supply system (computers, wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protective covers, etc.) is strictly forbidden due to the safety risks it may cause (except for qualified staff from the RENAULT network.

RUNNING IN Petrol version

Diesel version

For the first 625 miles (1000 km) do not exceed 70 mph (130 km/h) in the highest gear or 3000 to 3500 rpm. On completion of 625 miles (1000 km) you may use your car normally. However, it is only after 1500 miles (3000 km) have been covered that you may reasonably expect full performance.

For the first 750 miles (1500 km), do not exceed 2500 rpm. On completion of this mileage you may drive faster, however, the car will only provide top performance after approximately 4000 miles (6000 km). During the running in period, do not accelerate hard while the engine is still cold and do not let the engine rev in the lower gears.

SPECIAL POINTS - PETROL VERSIONS The following operating conditions: • Driving for a long time with the low fuel level warning light lit up • Using leaded petrol • Using lubrication additives or fuel which is not approved by RENAULT Or faults such as: • faulty ignition, running out of fuel or spark plug disconnected indicated by the engine misfiring and snatching when driving • loss of power may cause the catalytic converter to overheat and thus reduce its efficiency or even destroy it and cause heat damage to the vehicle

If you note any of the above faults, have the necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible by your RENAULT Dealer. These faults may be avoided by taking your vehicle regularly to your RENAULT Dealer at the intervals specified in your Servicing booklet. Starting problems To avoid damaging the catalytic converter, do not keep trying to start the engine (using the ignition key, or by pushing or towing the vehicle) without having identified and corrected the starting fault. If the fault cannot be identified, do not persist in attempting to start the engine and call a RENAULT Dealer.

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

SPECIAL POINTS - DIESEL VERSIONS Diesel engine speed Diesel engines are fitted with injection equipment which prevents overrevving of the engine irrespective of the gear in use. Lack of fuel After filling the tank if you have run completely out of fuel, on condition that the battery is fully charged, the engine may be started normally: see the information on the fuel tank in section 1 to find out more about the special features of diesel versions fitted with common-rail (high pressure) injection. However, if after a few seconds and several attempts the engine fails to start, contact a RENAULT Dealer.

Precautions to be taken in winter To avoid any damage in icy weather: • Ensure the battery is always fully charged. • Always keep the fuel tank relatively full to avoid water vapour condensing in it and accumulating at the bottom of the tank.

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

HANDBRAKE

POWER ASSISTED STEERING To apply Pull upwards, make sure that the vehicle cannot move

1

When power assisted steering is fitted, never leave the steering wheel on full lock when the vehicle is parked as this may damage the pump.

Variable power assisted steering

To release: Pull the lever up slightly, press button 1 and then lower the lever to the floor. The red warning light on the instrument panel will light up if you are driving with an incorrectly released handbrake.

Make sure that the handbrake is properly released when driving, otherwise overheating may occur.

The variable power assisted steering system is equipped with an electronic control system which alters the level of assistance to suit the vehicle speed. Steering is easier during parking manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst the force rises progressively as speed increases (for enhanced safety at high speeds).

Depending on the gradient and/or vehicle load, it may be necessary to apply the brake by an additional two notches and to engage a gear (1st or reverse) for manual vehicles, or position P for automatic vehicles.

Never switch off the ignition when travelling downhill, and avoid doing so when driving in general (power steering and brake servo will not function).

ADVICE ON ANTI-POLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL, DRIVING RENAULT is actively participating in the reduction of pollutant exhaust gas emissions and in saving energy. By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your Renault conforms to current anti-pollution standards. Technical design, however, cannot achieve all. The fuel consumption of your car and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are very much within your control. Make sure that your vehicle is maintained correctly, use it carefully and watch your driving style.

Maintenance

Engine adjustments

It should be noted that failure to respect anti-pollution standards may lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, the replacement of parts of the engine, fuel supply system and exhaust by parts other than those originally recommended by the manufacturer may alter your vehicle such that it no longer complies with anti-pollution standards. Have your vehicle checked and adjusted by your Renault Dealer in accordance with the instructions in the vehicle’s servicing booklet. Your Renault Dealer has all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard. Always remember that the emission of pollutant fumes is directly linked to fuel consumption.

• Ignition: This does not require adjustment. • Spark plugs: Optimum conditions of use, performance and output demand that the specifications laid down by our design office be rigorously adhered to. If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle's engine. Consult your Renault Dealer for this information. • Idling speed: This does not require adjustment. • Air filter, diesel filter: A clogged element hinders output and must be changed. • Injection pump setting: It must be set to the recommended values.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL, DRIVING (continued) Monitoring exhaust gas The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any malfunctioning of the vehicle's exhaust gas depollution system. If this system malfunctions, toxic substances may be released into the atmosphere or mechanical damage may occur. This warning light on the instrument panel will indicate if there are any problems with the system: This lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out after 3 seconds. - If it lights up continuously, consult your Renault Dealer as soon as possible. - If it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Consult your Renault Dealer as soon as possible.

Driving •Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the car is stationary. •Speed is expensive. •“Sporty” driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a “light right foot”.

•Brake as little as possible by suitably anticipating an obstacle or bend and then simply lifting the accelerator pedal. •Avoid fierce acceleration. •Do not overrev the engine in the intermediate gears. Always use the highest ratio possible without labouring the engine. On versions with automatic transmission, it is preferable to keep the gear lever in position “D”. •Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill; accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal. •Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are superfluous actions in modern cars.

•Bad weather, flooded roads Do not drive through floods if the depth of water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL, DRIVING (continued) • For vehicles with air conditioning, the extra fuel consumed in urban cycle can be as high as 2 litres per 100 km: switch the system off when it is not needed. • Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim as this is wasteful. • Do not leave an empty roof rack in position. • It is better to fit a trailer for bulky objects. • When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.

General hints • Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all the electrical units which are not really needed. However, (with safety always in mind), keep your lights on when the visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).

• Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits in between) because the engine never reaches its normal operating temperature. Try to group your calls.

Tyres • Pressures which are too low may increase fuel consumption. • The use of non-recommended tyres may also increase fuel consumption.

• Try to use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 100 km/h will increase fuel consumption by +4%.

ENVIRONMENT • To help protect the environment, your the paint and brake pads on your vehicle are unleaded and do not contain cadmium. We have also reduced the quantity of chlorine by 40 % in relation to previous models.

Parts which can be recycled

Recycled parts

Your vehicle has been designed with the aim of caring for the environment. • The majority of versions are equipped with a depollution system including a catalytic converter, a lambda sensor and an active carbon filter. (The active carbon filter prevents vapour from the petrol tank being released into the open air.)

• RENAULT has implemented all its knowledge of recycling to keep damage to the environment to a minimum to benefit the service life of your vehicle. • Your vehicle comprises 90 % recyclable parts or materials and already contains numerous parts in plastic or recycled materials (see drawing above). All the plastic components have been marked to make it easier to identify them for recycling.

Make your contribution towards protection of the environment too. Do not dispose of parts worn and replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (battery, cells, oil filter, air filter...) and oil cans (empty or filled with oil ..) with household waste. Dispose of them through specialist organisations. In all cases, comply with local legislation.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (continued) The tyre pressures are constantly monitored on vehicles equipped with this system (here, the wheels appear on display A).

A

Tyre pressures should be adjusted when the tyres are cold. If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, the pressures indicated must be increased by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).

B

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Operating principle This function is an additional driving aid. However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver. Check the tyre pressures, including the emergency spare wheel, once a month.

Each wheel (except the emergency spare wheel) has a sensor, integrated in the inflation valve which periodically measures the tyre pressure. The driver is constantly informed of the correct tyre pressure and possible variations on display A.

For certain vehicles, the information display B supplements this information by specifying the tyre pressures when ignition is switched on (for approximately 20 seconds) or if there is a fault when driving.

Non-interchangeability of wheels Each of the sensors integrated in the valve 1 is devoted to one single wheel: under no circumstances should you swap the wheels. There is a risk of false information leading to serious consequences.

To mark the correct position of the wheel, see the colour of the ring 2 (after cleaning, if necessary) which surrounds each valve: - C : yellow ring - D : black ring - E : red ring - F : green ring

(replacing tyres or fitting winter tyres) As there are special precautions to be taken when replacing tyres, we advise you to consult your RENAULT Dealer.

Reading the tyre pressures on the instrument panel (if fitted) After the vehicle's tyre pressures have been checked, warning messages on the instrument panel and/or values read on the information display B are updated once you exceed 12 mph (25 km/h). The operating pressure gauges show the pressure measurement variances (known as tolerance). The pressure which is displayed on the information display B may therefore be different from the pressure read on the pressure gauge used. The pressure displayed on the information display should be used.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP WITH UNDERSTEERING CONTROL This system helps to keep control of the vehicle in critical driving situations (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip when cornering, etc.), it works in addition to the understeering control system.

However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle's limitations and should not encourage you to drive more quickly. It can, therefore, under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be aware of sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

When the function is operational, indicator light 1 flashes or message A “ESP” (depending on the vehicle) lights up to confirm it.

1

Understeering control This system optimises the action of the ESP in the case of pronounced understeering (loss of front axle holding).

A

Operating principle A sensor in the steering wheel detects the path selected by the driver. Other sensors throughout the vehicle measure the actual path. The system compares the path selected by the driver and the actual vehicle path and corrects this as necessary by applying the brakes selectively and/or acting on the engine power.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM This system helps to limit skidding on drive wheels and to control the vehicle when pulling away or accelerating.

This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions to allow the behaviour of the vehicle to be adapted to the driving conditions. However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle's limitations and should not encourage you to drive more quickly. It can, thus, under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be aware of sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

1

The system also adjusts the engine speed to the grip available under the wheels, independently of the force applied to the accelerator pedal. When the function is in operation, indicator light 1 flashes or ESP message A lights up (depending on the vehicle).

A

Operating principle The system uses sensors in the wheels to constantly measure and compare the speed of the drive wheels and prevents them spinning. If a wheel is tending to skid, the system brakes automatically until the drive delivered becomes compatible with the level of grip.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS When braking sharply, the two main aims are to reduce the stopping distance and keep your vehicle under control. However, there is a risk that road holding and directional control may be lost and the wheels may lock when braking, depending on the nature of the ground, weather conditions and your reactions. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) has been designed to combat this danger. The safety enhancement is that the brake control system prevents the wheels from locking, even if the brakes are applied too sharply, and allows the vehicle to be steered and thus its direction to be controlled. Under these circumstances it is quite possible for the driver to steer the vehicle and to avoid an obstacle whilst at the same time applying the brake.

This system also allows you to optimise stopping distances when the adhesion of one or more wheels becomes hazardous (wet roads, slippery or varying road surfaces). Although this system allows you to make maximum use of stopping distances, even with the ABS you still have to take account of the actual condition of the road surface. It is still essential to follow the rules of good driving practice (such as driving at a safe distance to the vehicle in front). The fact that the vehicle’s safety has been increased should not encourage you to take risks.

When the system has been activated, you will feel a certain degree of pulsation at the brake pedal. These tangible signs will warn you that the adhesion between the tyres and the ground has reached its limit and enable you to adapt your driving style to suit the road conditions.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS (continued) Two situations must be considered if there is a fault in the ABS system 1 - The orange warning light is lit up on the instrument panel. The braking system operates in the same way as for a vehicle not equipped with an ABS system. Consult a Renault Dealer as soon as possible. 2 - The orange warning light and the red

brake circuit

fault indicator light are lit up on the instrument panel. This indicates that both the braking system and the ABS system are faulty. Your vehicle brakes may still partially operate. However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and it is essential to stop immediately, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Contact your Renault Dealer as a matter or urgency.

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

EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSISTANCE This is a system in addition to ABS which helps reduce the vehicle stopping distances.

Operating principle The system detects an emergency braking situation. If this happens, the braking assistance reaches maximum power instantly. ABS braking is maintained as long as the brake pedal is not released.

Hazard warning lights come on They may light up in the event of rapid deceleration.

This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions to allow the behaviour of the vehicle to be adapted to the driving conditions. However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle's limitations and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.

PARKING AID Operating principle Proximity sensors located in the rear bumper “measure” the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle when reversing. This measurement is indicated by sonic beeps which become more frequent the closer you become to the vehicle, until they become a continuous beep when the obstacle is approximately 25 centimetres from the vehicle. Note: make sure that the proximity sensors are not blocked (dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Towing a trailer or caravan Each time you select reverse gear, the system automatically detects an obstacle. In this case it is possible to deactivate the function by installing a switch: please contact your Renault Dealer.

Faults When the system detects a fault a beep sounds for 5 seconds as a warning when reverse gear is selected. Consult your Renault Dealer.

This function is an additional aid which indicates the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle when reversing by means of sound signals. Under no circumstances should it replace vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver when reversing. The driver should always pay attention to sudden faults which may occur when driving: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bicycle...) or an obstacle which is too small or narrow (average sized stone, very narrow post...) when manoeuvring.

Faults -

Special circumstances - If the bends and hills on the road do not allow you to stay in automatic mode (e.g.: in mountains), it is recommended that you change to manual mode. This will prevent successive gear changes by the automatic gearbox when climbing, and permit engine braking in the event of long descents. - In cold weather, start the engine and wait a few seconds before moving the selector lever from position P or N and engaging it in D or R to prevent the engine stalling. - Vehicle not fitted with traction control: on a slippery surface, change to manual mode and select second gear (or even third) before starting the engine to avoid wheel spin when starting.

If this warning light lights up when driving, it may indicate a fault. Consult a Renault Dealer as soon as possible.

and while driving, if these warning lights come on at the same time, avoid leaving the gear lever in position D (or R) when stopping in traffic: always return to position N when you have to stop. Consult a Renault Dealer as soon as possible. - If a vehicle with an automatic gearbox breaks down, see the information on towing in section 5. -

- If the gear lever becomes jammed in position P even though you are pressing the brake pedal, the level can be released manually. To do this, undo the upper section of the gaiter 3. Press the button located underneath the gaiter and at the same time press the unlocking button 2 to move the lever from position P.

Operating the air recirculation (isolating the passenger compartment) - Press control G: the operating indicator light will light up. In these conditions air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recycled, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle.

Air recirculation: - isolated the external atmosphere (driving in polluted areas...); - allows the desired temperature of the passenger compartment to be achieved as quickly as possible.

Prolonged use of the air recirculation mode may cause the windows to mist up or lead to odours, as the air is not renewed. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as you have passed through the polluted areas, by pressing button G. Air recirculation mode operating time is limited by the system except when there are high external temperatures: control G indicator light goes out.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING (continued) Starting air recirculation (isolating the passenger compartment) Climate control uses air from the outside to cool or heat the passenger compartment. However, when the recirculation function is in use, it is possible to isolate the passenger compartment from the atmosphere outside, such as when driving in polluted areas. Prolonged use of enforced air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen and problems due to the use of non-renewed air in the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to automatic recirculation (indicator light 5a lit) or external air as soon as enforced recirculation is no longer necessary. Note: On vehicles which are fitted with it, pressing the AUTO 1 activates the “automatic recirculation” function (indicator light 5a lit).

AIR CONDITIONING: MISCELLANEOUS If no cool air is produced Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are in good condition.Otherwise, switch off the climate control and call for the assistance of a Renault Dealer. Do not open the refrigerant fluid circuit.

Faults If you notice that the de-icing, demisting or air conditioning has become less effective, this may be caused by a clogged particle filter element. Generally, in the event of a fault, consult your Renault Dealer.

Fuel consumption When the air conditioning is operating, you will normally note an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving in an urban area).

After prolonged use of the air conditioning, it is normal to note the presence of water underneath the vehicle, caused by condensation.

Vehicles fitted with an auxiliary heater Some vehicles are fitted with an auxiliary heater which enables the passenger compartment to be heated more quickly. This device only functions when the engine is running and in cold weather. When the device is functioning you can normally see a small amount of smoke on the right-hand side of the vehicle coming from the heater's exhaust system.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is sometimes necessary to top up the level between oil changes. However, consult your Renault Dealer if more than 0.5 litre is being consumed every 625 miles (1000 km) after the running in period. Oil change frequency: Check the oil level from time to time and certainly before any long journey, to avoid the risk of damaging your engine.

Reading the oil level The car must be parked on level ground and the engine should have been switched off for some time beforehand to obtain an accurate reading. The oil level can be read: - on the instrument panel; - using the dipstick.

Message 1 Satisfactory level

Message 2 Level display function

Message 3 Minimum level (flashing)

Reading the level on the instrument panel When ignition has been switched on for approximately 30 seconds: - if the level is correct, the display will show “oil OK”: display message 1

The squares which appear on the display indicate the level. The number of dots displayed is reduced as the oil level drops and they are replaced by a dash: display message 2. To move to on-board computer reading, press the button again. - When the minimum oil level is reached, the dashes and the word “Oil” flash and the word “OK” disappears (display message 3) and the

warning light

lights up on the instrument panel. Top up the level as soon as possible.

Special note: To gain a more precise indication of the level, press the trip distance recorder reset button or the information scroll button on the on-board computer.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE Protection against the action of corrosive agents Although your vehicle has been treated with very effective anti-corrosion products, it nevertheless remains subject to the effects of: • 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 salt in winter. • Abrasives Wind-carried dust and sand, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles.

What you should not do • Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures. • Scrape off mud or dirt without pre-wetting. • Allow external accumulate.

dirt

to

• Allow rust to form following minor impacts. • Use solvents not approved by Renault's Technical Department to remove spots as this could damage the paintwork.

• Degrease or clean mechanical components (e.g. engine compartment), underneath the bodywork, parts with hinges (e.g. inside the fuel tank flap) and painted plastic external fittings (e.g. bumpers) using pressure cleaning apparatus or by spraying on products not approved by Renault's Technical Department. If adequate precautions are not taken, this could give rise to corrosion or incorrect operation.

• Drive frequently in snow or muddy conditions without periodically washing the car, particularly under the wheel arches and body.

• Minor impacts A minimum amount of protection is necessary to guard your vehicle against such risks so as not to lose the benefit of these developments.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued) What you should do • Wash your vehicle frequently, preferably using our recommended cleaning products and use a high-pressure jet to rinse off the underside of the vehicle and the wheel arches in particular to get rid of: - Spots of tree resin and industrial grime. - Bird droppings that contain chemicals which rapidly discolour paintwork and may even cause the paint to peel off: the vehicle must be washed immediately to remove these marks since it is impossible to remove them by polishing. - Salt deposited in the wheel arches and underneath the body after driving in areas where the roads are chemically treated. - Mud in the wheel arches and under the body which forms damp patches.

• Keep well away from the vehicle in front when driving on freshly laid surfaces to prevent paint damage. • Repair, or have repaired quickly patches where the paint has been damaged to prevent corrosion spreading.

• Before using a revolving brush type car wash, check the mounting of exterior equipment, additional headlights and rear-view mirrors and secure the wiper blades and radio aerial with adhesive tape. If your vehicle has a car phone, remove the aerial.

• If your vehicle is protected by the RENAULT anti-corrosion warranty, remember to visit the body shop periodically. Consult the anti-corrosion booklet.

• If mechanical components have to be cleaned, their protection must be reapplied by spraying on products approved by Renault's Technical Department.

• Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your vehicle on a public highway).

We have selected special products to care for your vehicle and you can obtain these from RENAULT accessory outlets.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE What you need to do Whatever type of stain is on the trim, use soapy water (warm if necessary ) based on: • natural soap, • washing up liquid (with one part washing up liquid to 200 parts water). Rinse off with a soft, damp cloth. Special instructions • Instrument panel window displays (e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior temperature, radio, etc.). Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool). If this does not clean them properly, use a soft cloth or cotton wool slightly moistened with soapy water and then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.

What you should not do • Seat belts These must be kept clean. Use products selected by Renault's Technical Department (or Renault accessory outlets) or warm soapy water using a sponge and dry off with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or dyes.

It is strongly recommended that you do not use high pressure cleaning apparatus or sprays inside the passenger compartment: if the necessary precautions are not taken, this could impair the correct functioning of electric or electronic components in the vehicle or have other detrimental effects.

Cleaning products containing alcohol may not be used under any circumstances.

CHANGING A WHEEL

2 1

Park your vehicle on firm, flat ground (if necessary, placing a plank under the jack). Switch on the hazard warning lights. Apply the handbrake and engage a gear (first or reverse, or P for automatic gearboxes). Ask all the passengers to leave the car and keep away from the traffic.

If necessary, remove the wheel trim. Loosen the wheel bolts using wheelbrace 1. Position it so that you press downwards rather than pulling upwards. Position the jack horizontally with the jack head at the height of jacking point 2 nearest the wheel concerned. Crank up the jack by hand at first to align the base plate (which should be inclined further inwards than the jack head).

Turn a few times to lift the wheel off the ground. Remove the bolts. Take off the wheel. Position the emergency spare wheel on the hub and turn it so that the holes in the wheel and the hub coincide. Tighten the bolts and lower the jack. With the wheels on the ground, tighten the bolts as much as possible and check the tightness as soon as possible (tightening torque 110 Nm).

If you have a puncture, replace the wheel as soon as possible. A tyre which has been punctured should always be inspected (and repaired if possible) by a specialist.

TYRES Tyre safety - road wheels The tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the road, so it is essential to keep them in good condition. You must make sure that your tyres conform to local road regulations.

1 2

Maintaining the tyres

When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the same make, dimension, type and profile should be used. Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your Renault Dealer.

The tyres must be in good condition and the tread form must have sufficient depth; tyres approved by Renault's Technical Department have wear warning strips 1 which are risers moulded into the tread at several points.

When the tread has worn down to the level of these risers, they become visible 2: the tyres concerned must be replaced now as only 1.6 mm maximum of tread remains and this is not sufficient to maintain good grip on wet roads. Faults which occur when driving, such as striking the kerb, may damage the tyres and could lead to misalignment of the front axle geometry. An overloaded car, long journeys by motorway, particularly in very hot weather, or continual driving on poorly surfaced minor roads will lead to more rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

TYRES (continued) Tyre pressures Tyre pressures must be adhered to. (Remember to check the spare wheel at the same time.) Tyre pressures must be checked at least once a month and always before a long journey. (Refer to the section on Tyre pressures.)

Pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures which may be reached in hot weather or after driving at high speeds. If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, assume an increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI). Never deflate a hot tyre. Note: a label (depending on country or version) affixed to the edge or frame of the driver's door gives the recommended tyre pressures.

Incorrect tyre pressures lead to abnormal tyre wear and unusually hot running, factors which may seriously affect safety and lead to: - poor roadholding - the risk of blow-outs or of throwing a tread at high speed. Tyre pressures depend on the load and the driving speed. Adjust the pressures according to the conditions of use. (Refer to the section on tyre pressures.)

Changing wheels around Each of the sensors integrated in the valves is devoted to one single wheel: under no circumstances should you swap the wheels. There is a risk of false information leading to serious consequences.

Fitting new tyres For safety reasons, this operation must only be carried out by a specialist. Fitting different tyres may change your vehicle as follows: - It may mean that your vehicle no longer conforms to current regulations. - It may change the way it handles when cornering. - It may cause the steering to be heavy. - It may cause tyre noise. - It may affect the use of chains.

Spare wheel Refer to the information on the spare wheel and instructions on how to change a wheel in section 5.

TYRES (continued) Use in winter • Chains For safety reasons, fitting chains to the rear axle is absolutely forbidden. Chains must not be fitted to tyres which are larger than those originally fitted to the vehicle.

Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle. Special features for models fitted with 17” wheels If you wish to use chains, you must use special equipment. Consult you RENAULT Dealer.

• “Snow” or winter tyres We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum road holding. Note: We would point out that these tyres may sometimes have: - A specific direction of rotation. - A maximum speed which may be lower than the maximum speed of your vehicle. • Studded tyres This type of equipment may only be used for a limited period and as laid down by local legislation. It is necessary to keep to the speed specified by current legislation. As a minimum, these tyres may be fitted to the two front axle wheels.

In all cases, we would recommend that you consult your RENAULT Dealer who will be able to advise you on the choice of equipment which is most suitable for your vehicle.

BATTERY: breakdown To avoid all risk of sparks: - Ensure that all consumers are disconnected before disconnecting or reconnecting the battery. - When charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting the battery. - Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short circuit between the terminals.

Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid which must not come into contact with the eyes or skin. If it should, wash the affected area with plenty of cold water. Keep all flames, red-hot objects and sparks away from the battery as there is a risk of explosion. Take care when working in the engine compartment as the engine cooling fan may cut in at any moment without warning.

BATTERY: breakdown (continued) Connecting a battery charger It is essential to disconnect both battery leads from the terminals (when the engine is stopped) starting with the negative terminal. Do not disconnect the battery while the engine is running. Follow the instructions for use given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using. Only a well-charged and well-maintained battery will have a long and useful life and enable you to start the vehicle’s engine normally. The battery must be kept clean and dry. Have the battery's charge status checked regularly: • Especially if you use your vehicle for short journeys or for frequent driving in town.

• When the external temperature drops (in winter), the charge declines. In winter, only use those electrical components which are really necessary. • Finally, you should understand that the charge decreases naturally as a result of certain “permanent consumers” such as: the clock, after sales accessories...

If your vehicle is to be left stationary for a relatively long time, disconnect the battery or have it recharged regularly, in particular during cold weather. The equipment with a memory, radio and trip computer will then have to be reprogrammed. The battery must be stored in a cool dry place, protected from frost.

When a large number of accessories are fitted to the vehicle, have them connected to + after ignition. In this case, it is advisable to have your vehicle fitted with a battery which has an increased nominal capacity. Consult your RENAULT Dealer. Specific procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Consult your RENAULT Dealer. Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion and charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. Risk of serious injury.

BATTERY: breakdown (continued) Starting the vehicle using the battery from another vehicle Proceed as follows when starting your vehicle from another vehicle's battery: Obtain suitable jump leads (with a large cross section) from a Renault Dealer or, if you already have jump leads, ensure that they are in perfect condition. The two batteries must have an identical nominal voltage: 12 volts. The battery supplying the current should have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which is at least the same as that of the discharged battery. An iced-up battery must be thawed out before current is supplied to it. Ensure that there is no risk of contact between the two vehicles (risk of short circuiting when the positive terminals are connected) and that the discharged battery is properly connected. Switch off your vehicle ignition. Start the engine of the vehicle supplying the current and run it at an average speed.

1

Check that there is no contact between cables A and B and that cable A (+) is not touching any metal parts on the vehicle supplying the current. Start the engine as you would normally. As soon as it starts, disconnect cables A and B in reverse order (4-3-2-1).

4 B

A 3 2

Secure the positive cable (+) A to the (+) terminal 1 of the discharged battery, then to the (+) terminal 2 of the battery supplying the current. Secure the negative cable (–) B to the (–) terminal 3 of the battery supplying the current and then to the (–) terminal 4 of the discharged battery.
