KEYS / RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL

1 Remote control coded ignitionkey, key for doors and fuel fillercap.

The plip remote control 1 locks andunlocks the doors.

It is supplied with power by a battery which has to be replacedwhen the battery tell-tale light 2 nolonger comes on. (Refer to theinformation on the radio frequency

remote control batteries.)

If there is a child (oranimal) in the car, neverleave it unattended withthe key in the ignition.

With the key in the ignition itwould be possible to operateelectrical equipment such as the

window risers and there is a riskthat the child may be seriouslyinjured (by trapping his or herneck, arm, hand, etc.).

Locking/unlocking the doorsPress the remote control forapproximately one second to lock orunlock the doors. (Tell-tale light 2will switch on.)

- The hazard warning lights flashtwice to indicate that the doorshave been locked.

Note: Depending on the vehicle, if either a door or tailgate is open ornot properly closed or if a rearinterior light remains in the“continuous lighting” position(see information on interior lightsin section 3), the hazard warninglights will not flash.

- The hazard warning lights flashonce to indicate that the doorshave been unlocked.



1.03

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL (continued)The range within which the remotecontrol will operate

This varies according to theenvironment: therefore take carewhen handling the remote controlthat you do not inadvertently lockor unlock the doors.

Note: On certain vehicles, if a dooris not opened within approximately30 seconds of unlocking the doorusing the remote control, the doorswill lock again automatically.

InterferenceInterference may be caused to the

operation of the remote control byfactors in the immediate vicinity(external installations or the use of equipment operating on the samefrequency as the remote control).

If you lose your keys or needanother set of keys (or a remotecontrol), contact your RENAULTDealer.

• If a remote control unit isreplaced, it will be necessary to

take the vehicle to yourRENAULT Dealer because boththe vehicle and all the remotecontrol units are needed toinitialise the system.

• No more than two remote controlscan be used on one vehicle.

• Make sure that the batteries arealways in good condition - theylast for approximately two years.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS



1

1.15

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

Front seat belt pretensioners.

Force limiters.

Driver's and passenger airbags.These airbags are adaptable in

that they offer a small or largevolume depending on theseverity of the frontal impact.

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

Depending on the force of theimpact the system may engage:

- seat belt locking;- the buckle pretensioner (which

triggers to take up the slack in theseat belt);

- the lap belt pretensioner to keepthe occupant in their seat, the lowvolume front airbag and the loadlimiters;

- the large volume front airbag.

Side airbags are provided toactivate in the event of severeside impacts.

Front seat belt pretensionersWith the ignition switched on, if there is a severe frontal impact anddepending on the force of theimpact, the system may engage:

- the piston 1 which immediatelyretracts the seat belt.

The pretensioners pull the seat belt against the body, holding theoccupant more securely against the

seat, thus increasing the seat belt'sefficiency.

• Have the entire restraintsystem checked followingan accident.

• No operation whatsoeveris permitted on any part of thesystem (pretensioners, airbags,computers, wiring) and thesystem components must not bere-used on any other vehicle,even if identical.

• To avoid premature triggering of the system which may causeinjury, only qualified RENAULTNetwork personnel may work onthe pretensioner and airbag

system.

• Testing of the electric triggersystem may only be carried out

by a specially trained technicianusing special equipment.

• When the vehicle is scrapped,contact your RENAULT Dealerfor disposal of the pretensionerand airbag gas generators.

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



1.16

( )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 pretensioners

Pyrotechnic systems forairbags and pretensioners have alimited service life: refer to the

servicing booklet for yourvehicle for the replacementfrequency.

Driver and passenger airbagsThese are fitted to both the driverand the front passenger seats.

An “Airbag” marking on thesteering wheel and dashboard and alabel in the lower section of thewindscreen 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 its two gasgenerators (for the small orlarge-volume bag depending onthe severity of the frontal impact)mounted on the steering wheel forthe driver and in the dashboard forthe passenger;

- a computer for both systems,which includes the impactdetector and the monitorcontrolling the electrical triggersystem for each of the gasgenerators;

- A single warning light onthe instrument panel.

The air bag system uses theprinciples of pyrotechnics. Thisexplains why, when the air baginflates, it will generate heat,produce smoke (this does not meanthat a fire is about to start) andmake a noise upon detonation. In asituation where an air bag isrequired, it must inflate immediatelyand this may cause some minor,superficial grazing to the skin.




1

1.17

OperationThe system waits a few secondsafter the ignition has been switchedon before being operational.

If a severe frontal impact occurs,the airbag(s) inflate(s) rapidly,cushioning the impact of the

driver's head and chest against thesteering wheel and the frontpassenger's head against thedashboard. The airbag(s) thendeflate(s) immediately so that thepassengers are not impeded in anyway when they get out of thevehicle.

The passenger airbag system islinked to a front passenger airbag

deactivation warning light 2 on theinstrument panel. This warninglight is linked to the passengerairbag deactivation system throughthe ignition key.

It lights up to indicate that thepassenger airbag will not be inflatedin the event of an impact (refer tothe section on Deactivating the frontpassenger airbag).

Operational incidentsWarning 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, there is a faultin the system.

If it lights up while you are driving,stop at once and switch off the

ignition.

If it is still lit up after the ignitionhas been switched on again, there isa fault in the system. In this case, arear-facing child seat MUST NOT befitted to the front passenger seat.

We do not recommend fitting anyother kind of passenger seat device.

In both cases, consult yourRENAULT Dealer as soon aspossible.




1.18

All the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent therisk 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 the seat belt is 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 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 airbag system for the driver and passenger(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 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).




1

1.19

All the warnings given below are

designed to ensure that the airbagcan inflate correctly and to preventserious injuries caused by itemswhich may be dislodged when theairbag inflates.

Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag

• Do not adjust either the steering wheel or the airbag cushion.

• Do not cover the airbag cushion.

• Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to theairbag cushion.

• The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnelfrom 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 inflateproperly and to be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag: location 1

• Do not attach or glue any objects (badges, logo, clock, telephone holder,

etc.) onto the front passenger side of the dashboard.• 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 thereis a risk that serious injuries may be sustained. As a general rule, keep allparts 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 fromthe front passenger seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger inthe event of an impact.

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO FIT A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT ON THE FRONTPASSENGER SEAT WHILE THE RESTRAINING METHODS ADDITIONAL

TO THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT ARE NOT DEACTIVATED.(Refer to the information on Deactivationof front passenger airbags in Section 1).

1.20

Side airbagsThese airbags may be fitted to thefront seats and are deployed at thesides of the seats (door side) toprotect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.

The slits on the frontseatbacks (door side) and

the gap between the rear bench seatback and theinterior fittings form the triggerarea for the airbag, so it isforbidden to place any objectsthere.

Warnings concerning theside airbag

• Fitting seat covers: Seatsequipped with an airbag

require special coversspecifically designed for yourvehicle. Consult your RENAULTDealer to see if appropriatecovers are available 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 pets between theseatback and the door. This mayprevent the airbag from operatingcorrectly or cause injury if theairbag is deployed.

• No work or modificationwhatsoever may be carried outon the seat, except by qualified

RENAULT Network personnel.

1.23

The following information applies to both the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts:

• No modifications may be made to the component parts of the original restraint systems: seat belts andtheir mountings.

Consult your Renault Dealer for special applications (e.g. fitting a child seat).

• Do not use any devices which give any play in the belts (clothes pegs, clips for example).

• 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 the seat belt around them.

• The seat belt should never be twisted.

• Following a serious accident, replace all the belts which were in use at the time. Likewise, have the beltsreplaced if they show any signs of wear.

• When refitting the rear bench seat, check that the seat belts are repositioned correctly, to enable them to be usedproperly.

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

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

ll h l h bl h f ll



1.24

In all countries there are regulationsgoverning the use of restraintsystems for children and babies.

In Europe, children under 12 yearsof age, less than 1.50 m tall andweighing less than 36 kg(1) must berestrained with an approved

restraint adapted to the child'sweight and height.

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.

We therefore advise you to select anapproved child restraint thatcomplies with European regulationECE 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 is anapproved type) and the year inwhich the type approval wasgranted.

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

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 of

allowing him or her to play on athird-floor balcony which does nothave any railings.

Under no circumstancesshould babies or children

be allowed to travel sittingon the knees of another

passenger in the vehicle.

If a head-on collision occurs at30 mph (50 km/h) a child weighing30 kg (66 lbs) will be transformedinto a missile equivalent to onetonne: you will find it impossibleto hold the child, even if youyourself are wearing a belt.

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

The tables on the following pagesinform you of the types of seat thatcan be fitted in each of the vehicleseat positions on the vehicle inaccordance with the Europeandirective.

Before installing a child seat in thefront seat (if fitting is permitted)

If the passenger seat is fitted withone, carry out the followingadjustments:

- pull back the seat as far aspossible,

- straighten the seatback as much aspossible,

- raise the seat squab as far aspossible,

- pull the headrest up to itsmaximum position,

- move the seat belt height controlto the low position.

1.27

e g t c o ceThe safety of your children is alsoyour responsibility.

To give your children maximumprotection, we recommend that youuse seats obtained from a RenaultDealer.

If your vehicle is equipped with anIsofix system, it is preferable to usean Isofix seat. (Refer to theinformation in section 1 on theIsofix system of child seats.)

Restraint systems for all categoriesare available. These systems have

been developed in consultationwith the manufacturers and have

been tested in Renault vehicles.

Take the advice of your RenaultDealer and ask him to help you toinstall it.

Category 0 and 0+

A child’s neck is very susceptible toinjury up to the age of two. In afront-facing seat there is a risk that achild will sustain neck injuries inthe event of a frontal collision.Renault therefore recommends arear-facing seat with a harness thatgives all-round protection (figure 1).

Category 1

Between the ages of 2 and 4, achild’s pelvis is not fully developed.Restraints using three-point beltsare not adequate and there is a riskthat the child will sustainabdominal injuries in the event of afrontal collision. It is thereforeadvisable to use rear-facing seats(figure 1), bucket type seats (figure2) or seats with harnesses.

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.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)A booster seat with a

Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) and

category 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 a

booster seat (figure 3) with beltguides to ensure that the belt will beworn flat over the thighs of the

child.

height-adjustable seatback and a belt guide are recommended as thiswill allow the belt to be worn asclose to the base of the neck aspossible but not on it.

Place the head rest in the topposition to allow you to press theseat back 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 line

with the child's eyes. The standard classifies therestraints 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)

We recommend that you removethe headrest and put it in theluggage compartment, to facilitatefitting certain types of child seat.

DANGERSince front passenger airbag triggering and the position of arear-facing child seat are incompatible, it is not permitted to installsuch a seat in this position unless the vehicle is fitted with an airbag

deactivation device. Refer to the information on deactivating the frontpassenger airbag. The child may suffer very serious injuries if the airbaginflates.

Label 4 (on the dashboard) and markings 5 (on the sun visors) remind you of these instructions.

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.

• Avoid wearing bulky clothing and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.

• The seat belt on 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 or kneel on the seat when 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 occurs, it may become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.

• Following a serious accident, have an inspection made of the seat belts and restraint systems fitted at the time.

• 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.

leaded fuel, the filler neck has arestrictor with a valve which onlyallows an unleaded petrol nozzle to

be used (at the petrol pump).

- Insert the nozzle to open the valve,as far as it will go.

- Hold the nozzle in this positionwhile the tank is filled and thenrelease it.

Turn the key to the starterposition D, without accelerating.

Release the key as soon as theengine starts.

If there is a child (or pet) inthe car, never leave itunattended with the key inthe ignition. With the key

in the ignition it would be possibleto operate the electrical equipmentsuch as the windows and there is arisk that the child may be seriouslyinjured (by trapping his or her

neck, arm, hand, etc.).

Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stoppedcompletely. Once the engine hasstopped, the power steering, brakeservo and passive safety devicessuch as airbags and pretensionerswill no longer operate.

When the key has been removed,

the steering will lock.

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

D i i f l ti ith th

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 by



2.04

• Driving for a long time with thelow fuel level warning lightilluminated;

• Faulty ignition, running out of fuel 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-recognised

security systems which have beenintegrated into the fuel injectionsystem for immobilisationpurposes;

Bump starting the vehicle, asunburnt petrol in the system, mayaffect the catalyst if the car does notstart quickly. However, jumpstarting with jump leads across the

battery is permissible;

y ytaking your vehicle regularly toyour Renault Dealer at the intervalsspecified in your “Warranty andServicing” booklet.

Starting problemsTo avoid damaging the catalyticconverter, do not keep trying to startthe engine (using the starter, or bypushing or pulling the vehicle)without having identified andcorrected the cause of the fault.

If the fault cannot be found, do nottry to start the engine again, but callfor the assistance of a RenaultDealer.

Never park the vehicle orrun the engine in locationswhere combustiblesubstances or materials

such as grass or leaves may comeinto contact with a hot exhaustsystem.

SPECIAL POINTS - DIESEL VERSIONSDiesel engine speedDiesel engines have an injectionsystem with a mechanical governorwhich prevents overrevving of theengine regardless of the gear engaged.

Winter precautionsTo avoid any problems in icyconditions:

• ensure your battery is always wellcharged.



2.05

Running out of fuel

After filling the tank, if you have runcompletely out of fuel, on conditionthat the battery is fully charged, theengine may be started normally.

If, after a few seconds, after severalattempts, the engine will not start,call for the assistance of a RenaultDealer.

g

• ensure the fuel level in the tanknever drops too low to avoidcondensation forming at the

bottom of the tank.

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



ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING (continued)Monitoring exhaust gasThe exhaust gas monitoring systemwill detect any malfunctioning of the vehicle's exhaust gasdepollution system.

• Brake as little as possible bysuitably anticipating an obstacleor bend and then simply releasingthe accelerator pedal.

• Avoid sudden acceleration.



2.07

If this system malfunctions, toxicsubstances may be released into theatmosphere or mechanical damage

may occur.This warning light on theinstrument panel willindicate if there are anyproblems with the system:

This lights up when the ignition isswitched on and then goes out.

- If it lights up continuously,consult your Renault Dealer as

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

Driving• Drive carefully for the first few

miles until the engine reaches itsnormal operating temperaturerather than letting it warm upwhile stationary.

• Speed is expensive.

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

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

without labouring the engine.(On versions with an automaticgearbox, try to always useposition D.)

• 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 off the engine are superfluousactions in modern cars.

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

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING (continued)• For vehicles fitted with air

conditioning, more fuel may beused during urban driving; switchoff the system when it is not reallyneeded.

• Never fill the fuel tank up to the



2.08

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 ata speed of 60 mph (100 km/h)with the windows open will

increase the use of fuel by 4%.

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

• Do not leave an empty roof rack in

position.• Use a trailer for carrying bulky

objects.

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

• Avoid using the car for door todoor calls (short journeys withlong stops in between), as theengine never reaches its ideal

temperature. Try to group yourcalls.

Tyres• Inflation pressures which are too

low may increase fuelconsumption.

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

ENVIRONMENTYour vehicle has been designed withthe aim of caring for the environment.

• Most versions are fitted with adepollution system incorporatingthe catalytic converter, oxygensensor and active carbon filter

In addition, your vehicle meets therequirements of European legislationconcerning the protection of theenvironment.

Make your contribution to

sensor 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 (as markedon the diagram above).

• 95% of the plastic parts in yourvehicle are marked by a symbol

Using the air conditioning system:

• lowers the internal passengercompartment temperature,especially in hot weather, whendriving in traffic or when thevehicle has been parked in thesun;

• reduces the humidity of the air blown inside the passengercompartment (prevents misting).

Fuel consumption increases when

the air conditioning system is beingused. (Switch it off when it is notrequired.)

Heating and ventilation aretherefore identical to that of avehicle without air conditioning.

Recirculation of air allows theexternal atmosphere to beisolated (driving in pollutedareas).

Prolonged use of the airrecirculation mode may cause the

windows to mist up or lead toodours, as the air is not renewed.

We therefore advise you to return tonormal mode (external air) bypressing button 6 as soon as airrecirculation is no longer required.

3.22

Fuel consumption

When the air conditioning is operating, it is normal to notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when drivingin town).

In winter, use the air conditioning occasionally in order to keep the system in correct working order.

Do not worry about any water which may appear from underneath the vehicle as this results from condensation.

Operating faults

Generally, if you notice a decrease in the efficiency of de-icing, demisting or air conditioning, it may be caused byclogging up of the particle filter cartridge, if one is fitted to the vehicle: consult your RENAULT Dealer.

CHANGING A WHEEL

Park your vehicle on firm,flat ground (if necessary,placing a plank under the

base of the jack).Switch on the hazard warninglights.Apply the handbrake and engage agear (first or reverse, or P on anautomatic gearbox).Ask all the passengers to get out of

the vehicle and keep them awayfrom moving traffic.



5.05

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

• Use the wheelbrace 1 to loosen

the wheel bolts slightly. Fit it sothat you press downwards andnot upwards.

• Offer up the jack horizontally, thejack head must be slidunderneath the jacking pointunder the body, nearest the wheelconcerned.

• 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 2into the jack 3 and turn a fewtimes to lift the wheel off theground:

• Remove the bolts.

• Take off the wheel.

• Position the emergency sparewheel on the central hub and turnit to locate the mounting holes inthe wheel and the hub.

• Tighten the bolts and lower thejack.

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

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

punctured should always beinspected (and repaired if possible)

by a specialist.

TYRESTyre safety - road wheelsThe tyres are the only contact

between 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 the tread has worn down to

the level of these risers, they become visible 2: the tyresconcerned must be replaced now asonly 1.6 mm maximum of treadremains and this is not sufficient tomaintain good grip on wet roads.

Incidents which occur whendriving such as striking the kerbmay damage the tyres and couldlead to the misalignment of the front

axle geometry.An overloaded car, long journeys bymotorway, especially in very hot



5.06

When they need to bereplaced, only tyres of the same make,dimension, type and

profile should be used.

When fitting tyres to the car,they should either be identical tothose fitted originally or

conform to those recommended by your Renault Dealer.

Maintaining the tyresThe tyres must be in good conditionand the tread form must havesufficient depth: tyres approved by

our Technical Department havewear warning strips 1 which arerisers moulded into the tread atseveral points.

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).

Pressures should be checked when

the tyres are cold; ignore higherpressures which may be reached inhot weather or after driving at highspeeds.

If tyre pressures cannot be checkedwhen the tyres are cold, assume anincrease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Note: a label (depending on countryor version) affixed to the edge orframe of the driver's door gives therecommended tyre pressures

Replacing tyres

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

Fitting different tyres maychange your vehicle as follows:

- It may mean that your vehicle

no longer conforms to currentregulations.

- It may change the way ithandles when cornering.



5.07

Incorrect tyre pressureslead to abnormal tyrewear and unusually hot

running. Factors which mayseriously affect safety and leadto:

- poor roadholding

- possibility of blow-outs or of throwing a tread at high speed.

Inflation pressures depend onthe load and the driving speed.Adjust the pressures accordingto the conditions of use. (Refer tothe section on tyre inflation

- 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 wheelRefer to the information on theemergency spare wheel and

instructions on how to change awheel in section 5.

TYRES (continued)Use in winter

• Chains

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

Chains must not be fitted to tyreswhich are larger than thoseoriginally fitted to the vehicle.

• “Snow” or winter tyres

We recommend that these arefitted to all four wheels to ensurethat your vehicle retainsmaximum road holding.

Note: These tyres sometimeshave:

- a specific direction of rotation

- a maximum speed which may be lower than the maximumspeed of your vehicle.

• Studded tyres



5.08

Chains may only be fittedto tyres of the same sizeas those originally fittedto your vehicle.

This type of equipment may only be 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 be

fitted to the two front wheels.

In all cases, we recommend that

you consult your Renault Dealer,who will be able to advise you onthe choice of equipment which ismost suitable for your vehicle.
