Incorrectly adjusted seatbelts may cause injuries inthe event of an accident.Even pregnant women

should wear a seat belt. In thiscase, ensure that the lap belt isnot exerting too much pressureon the abdomen without allowingany slack.

SEAT BELTSAlways wear your seat belt whentravelling in your vehicle. You mustalso comply with the legislation ofthe particular country you are in.

Before driving off:- firstly ensure that your driving

position is correctly adjusted,- then adjust your seat belt to

provide maximum protection.

Adjusting your driving position• Sit well back in your seat (having

removed your coat or jacket). Thisis essential to ensure your back ispositioned correctly.

• Adjust the distance between theseat and the pedals. Your seatshould be as far back as possiblewhile still allowing you to fullydepress the clutch pedal. Theseatback should be adjusted sothat your arms are slightly bentwhen you hold the steering wheel.

• Adjust the position of your headrestraint. For safety reasons, thetop of your head should be in linewith the top of the head restraint.

• Adjust the height of the seat. Thisadjustment allows you to selectthe seat position which offers youthe best possible view.

• Adjust the position of the steeringwheel.

Adjusting the seat beltsSit with your back firmly against theseatback.

The thorax belt 1 should be as closeto the base of your neck as possiblebut not on it.

The lap belt 2 should be worn flatover your thighs and against yourpelvis.

SEAT BELTS (continued)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 theirmountings) fitted originally.

For special cases (e.g. fitting child seats) contact your RENAULT Dealer.

• Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too looselymay cause injury in the event of an accident.

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

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

• The belt should never be twisted.

• Seat belts should be replaced after a serious accident. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs ofwear.

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

• If necessary, readjust the position and tightness of the belt.

• Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate unit.

• Following an accident, itis necessary to have theentire restraint systemchecked by a qualifiedtechnician.

• No operation whatsoever ispermitted on any part of thesystem (pretensioners, airbags,computers, wiring) and thesystem components must not bereused on any other vehicle, evenif identical.

• To avoid accidental triggering ofthe system which may causeinjury, only qualified RenaultNetwork personnel may work onthe pretensioner and airbagsystem.

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

• When the vehicle is scrapped,contact your RENAULT Dealer fordisposal of the pretensioner andairbag gas generators.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTSThese are:■ buckle pretensioners,■ lap pretensioners (five-door

version only),■ thorax load limiters,■ driver and passenger front

airbags,■ anti-submarining airbags (three-

door version only).These systems are designed to actindependently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontalimpact.Depending on the severity of theimpact, the system can trigger:- seat belt locking;- the buckle pretensioner (which

engages to correct seat belt slack);- the lap belt pretensioner or the

anti-submarining airbag to keepthe occupant in their seat, the “lowvolume” frontal airbag and loadlimiters;

- the “large volume” frontal airbag.

PretensionersThe pretensioners hold the seat beltagainst the body, holding theoccupant more securely against theseat, thus increasing the seat belt’sefficiency.With the ignition switched on, ifthere is a severe frontal impact anddepending on the force of theimpact, the system may engage the:- piston 1 which instantly retracts

the seat belt;- piston 2 on the front seats (for the

five door version),or

- the anti-submarining airbag (forthe three door version).

Load 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.

Driver and passenger airbagsFitted to the driver and passengerside.The word “Airbag” on the steeringwheel and the dashboard (airbagzone A) and an airbag marking in thelower section of the windscreenindicate the presence of thisequipment.Each airbag system consists of:- an airbag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for the driverand in the dashboard for the frontpassenger;

- an intelligent computer for bothsystems, which includes an impactsensor and a monitor controllingthe electrical trigger system for thegas generator;

- a single åwarning light on the

instrument panel;- an advanced frontal sensor

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

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

OperationThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.In a severe frontal impact, theairbags inflate rapidly, cushioningthe impact of the driver’s head andchest against the steering wheel andthe front passenger against thedashboard. The airbags then deflateimmediately so that the passengersare not in any way hindered fromleaving the vehicle.

Special feature of the frontairbagDepending on the severity of theimpact, this has two deploymentvolumes and incorporates aninternal ventilation system toprevent burns caused by theescaping gases:- “low volume” airbag: this is the

first level of deployment;- “large volume” airbag: the airbag

seams tear so that a greater volumeof gas is released into the airbag(for the most severe impacts).

Operating faultsWarning light 1 will light up on theinstrument panel when the ignitionis switched on and then will go outafter a few seconds.If it does not light up when theignition is switched on, or comes onwhen the engine is running, there isa fault in the system.Consult your RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible. Your protectionwill be reduced until this fault isrectified.

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

Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag• Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.• Do not cover the steering wheel boss.

• Do not attach any objects (badge, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.• The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from the RENAULT Network).• When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on

“Adjusting your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the airbag to deploy correctly andbe fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag• Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard in the proximity of the

airbag housing.• Do not place anything 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. In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head etc.)• The passenger airbags should be reactivated as soon as the child seat is removed, to ensure the protection of the front

passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD/BABY SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THEADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, ARE DEACTIVATED. (Refer to the informationon “deactivating the front passenger airbags” in Section 1.)

Warnings concerning the anti-submarining airbagWhen triggered, the anti-submarining airbag could project objects left on the seat cushion with some force.

• Following an accident, itis necessary to have theentire restraint systemchecked by a qualified

technician.

• No operation whatsoever ispermitted on any part of thesystem (pretensioners, airbags,computers, wiring) and thesystem components must not bereused on any other vehicle, evenif identical.

• To avoid accidental triggering ofthe system which may causeinjury, only qualified RENAULTNetwork personnel may work onthe pretensioner and airbagsystem.

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

• When the vehicle is scrapped,contact your RENAULT Dealer fordisposal of the pretensioner andairbag gas generators.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTSDepending on the vehicle, theycomprise:

■ seat belt pretensioners built intothe inertia reels,

■ load limiter.

These systems are designed to actindependently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontalimpact.There are two possibilities,depending on the force of theimpact:- protection is provided by the belt

only;- the pretensioner is triggered to

rectify seat belt slack.

Rear seat belt pretensionersThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.If the vehicle is subjected to a severefrontal impact, a device retracts theseat belt, pulling the seat belt tightagainst the body and thus improvingits effectiveness.

Load 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.


NU761_2_G1-FRA.qxd 10/11/05 15:53 Page 1.30

Warnings concerning the side airbag• Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers

specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact your RENAULTDealer to find out if these covers may be purchased from RENAULT

accessory outlets. The use of any covers other than those designed for yourvehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may affect theoperation of the airbags and reduce your protection.

• Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, thedoor and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items suchas clothes or accessories. This may prevent the airbag from operatingcorrectly or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.

• No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the internalfittings, except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.

• The slits in the front seatbacks (door side) and the space between theseatback, the rear bench seat and the trims correspond to the airbagdeployment zone: it is prohibited to place any objects in these locations.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICESSide airbagsAn airbag is fitted to each front seatand, depending on the country, therear side seats, which are deployedon the side of the seat (door side) toprotect the occupants in the case ofa severe side impact.

Curtain airbagsThese are airbags fitted along thesides of the vehicle in the ceilingwhich trigger along the front and rearside windows to protect thepassengers in case of a severe sideimpact.

A marking on the windscreeninforms you of the presence ofadditional means of restraint(airbags, pretensioners, etc.) inthe passenger compartment.


NU761_2_G1-FRA.qxd 10/11/05 15:53 Page 1.31

1.31

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINTAll the warnings below are given so that airbag activation is not obstructed in any way and also to prevent the risk ofserious 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 a seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn, theoccupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk ofminor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are alwayspossible with airbags.

If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are notalways triggered. These systems may, however, be triggered by impacts to the vehicle underbody, e.g. from kerbs,potholes, stones, etc.

• Any operation on or modification to any part of the Airbag system (Airbags, pretensioners, electronic unit, wiring, etc.)is strictly prohibited (except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel).

• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental 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, stolen orbroken into.

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

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

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

passenger in the vehicle.If a frontal impact occurs at 30 mph(50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kgwill be transformed into a missileequivalent to one ton: you will findit impossible to hold the child, evenif you yourself are wearing a belt.It is particularly dangerous to putthe belt round your child when heor she is sitting on your lap. Neveruse the belt for more than oneperson at the same time.

CHILD SAFETY

Remember that a collision at 30 mph(50 km/h) is the same as falling adistance of 10 metres. Expressed inother terms, transporting a childwithout a restraint is the equivalentof allowing him or her to play on afourth-floor balcony withoutrailings.

In all countries there are regulationsgoverning the use of restraints forchildren and babies.In Europe, children under 10 yearsof age(1) must be seated in anapproved safety device which issuitable for the weight and size ofthe child.The driver is responsible forensuring that this equipment is usedcorrectly.Child restraints for which typeapproval was obtained after January1992 offer a level of safety muchgreater than for restraints with typeapproval before that date.It is therefore advisable to select achild restraint that complies withEuropean regulation ECE 44.Restraints that comply with thislegislation must be marked with anorange label bearing the letter Efollowed by a number (whichrepresents the country where it istype approved) and the year inwhich the type approval wasgranted.Refer to the Child safety equipmentbooklet available from the RenaultNetwork to choose the seat suited toyour child and recommended foryour vehicle.

There are some passenger seats onwhich the installation of child seatsis forbidden.To find the authorised seats andtypes of child seats that can beinstalled in each of the authorisedseats, refer to the table in thefollowing pages.

Before installing a child seat in thefront seat (if installation is permitted)If fitted to the passenger seat, carryout the following adjustments:- move the passenger seat as far back

as possible,- set the seatback to its fully upright

position,- raise the seat base as far as

possible,- raise the headrest to its highest

setting,- move the seat belt height control to

the low position.

(1) You must always comply with thelaws of the country in which you aretravelling. They may be different tothe guidelines in this handbook.

To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you useRENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for yourvehicle and are the only accessories for which RENAULT willprovide a warranty.


The right choiceYour vehicle is fitted with the Isofixsystem, approved in accordance withthe ECE 14 and ECE 16 regulations.The safety of your children is alsoyour responsibility.To ensure that your child has themaximum possible protection, werecommend that you use Isofix seatsapproved by the RENAULTNetwork.Refer to the information on theIsofix system for securing child seatsin Section 1.Restraint systems for all thecategories are available. Thesesystems have been developed inconsultation with the manufacturersand have been tested in RENAULTvehicles.Contact your RENAULT Dealer andask him to help you install it.

Categories 0 and 0+ (from 0 to13 kg)A child’s neck is very susceptible toinjury up to the age of two. It ispreferable to put your child into arear-facing enclosing shell seat. Thisposition enhances safety.

Category 1 (from 9 kg to 18 kg)Between the ages of 2 and 4, achild’s pelvis is not fully developed.Restraints using the vehicle’s seatbelts are not adequate and there is arisk that the child will sustainabdominal injuries in the event of afrontal impact. Use a seat whichrestrains the child by means of aharness.Place the back of the child seatfirmly against the vehicle seatback.Adjust the height of the headrestraint or remove it if necessary.

mountings).

• Carefully follow 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 restraintsystem.

• The seat belt in the vehicle must be tight enough to hold the child’s seat in position securely. Check the tension regularly.

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

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

• 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 they are asleep.

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

• Following a serious accident, check the seat belts or the ISOFIX seat mounting and replace the child seat.

• Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if they are in a restraining device.

• Lock the rear doors (if your vehicle is equipped with the function).

These faults may be avoided byregularly taking your vehicle to yourRENAULT Dealer at the intervalsspecified in your Warranty andServices booklet.

Starting faultsTo avoid damaging the catalyticconverter, do not keep trying to startthe engine (using the Start button, orby pushing or towing the vehicle)without having identified andcorrected the starting fault.If the fault cannot be identified, donot continue to try to start theengine, contact a RENAULT Dealer.

The following operating conditionsshould be avoided:• Driving for long periods when the

low fuel level warning light is lit,• Using leaded petrol,• Using oil or fuel additives which

are not approved by RENAULT.

Or operating faults such as:• Faulty ignition, running out of

fuel or spark plug disconnectedresulting in the engine misfiringand bucking while driving,

• loss of power,

may cause the catalytic converter tooverheat and thus reduce itsefficiency, or destroy it and causeheat damage to the vehicle.

Do not park the vehicle orrun the engine in locationswhere combustiblesubstances or materials such

as grass or leaves can come intocontact with the hot exhaust system.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VEHICLES FITTED WITH AN EXHAUST PARTICLE FILTERWhen driving, depending on thegrade of fuel used, it is possible thatwhite smoke may be emitted.This is due to the exhaust particlefilter being cleaned automatically,and does not affect the way thevehicle runs.

Diesel engine speedDiesel engines are fitted withinjection equipment which preventsthe engine from over-revving,irrespective of the gear engaged.

Precautions to be taken in winterTo avoid any faults in icy weather:- ensure that the battery is always

fully charged;- always keep the fuel tank relatively

full to avoid water vapourcondensing in it and accumulatingat the bottom of the tank.

Do not park the vehicle orrun the engine in locationswhere combustiblesubstances or materials

such as grass or leaves can comeinto contact with the hot exhaustsystem.

The warning light comes on

to indicate a filter saturation risk.To clean the particle filter, werecommend that you drive thevehicle as soon as possible until thewarning light goes out, at an averagespeed of 48 mph (80 km/h) providedthat traffic conditions and the speedlimit allow it.As an indication, cleaning shouldlast about 20 minutes in this case.

HANDBRAKE POWER STEERINGNever drive with an inadequately-charged battery.

Variable power assisted steeringThe variable assistance powersteering has an electronicmanagement system that adapts thelevel of assistance to the vehiclespeed.Steering is made easier duringparking manoeuvres (for addedcomfort) whilst the force needed tosteer rises progressively as speedincreases (for enhanced safety athigh speeds).

To apply:Pull upwards, make sure that thevehicle cannot move

To release:Pull lever 1 gently upwards, push inbutton 2 and lower the lever to thefloor.

Make sure that thehandbrake is properlyreleased when driving(red indicator light off),

otherwise overheating may occur.

Depending on the slopeand/or vehicle load, it maybe necessary to apply thebrake by an additional two

notches and to engage a gear (1stor reverse) for manual vehicles, orposition P for automatic vehicles.

Never switch off theignition when travellingdownhill, and avoid doingso in normal driving

(power steering and brake servowill not function).

ADVICE ON FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVINGMaintenanceIt should be noted that failure torespect anti-pollution standardsmay lead to legal action being takenagainst the vehicle owner. Inaddition, replacing engine, fuelsupply system and exhaustcomponents with parts other thanthose originally recommended bythe manufacturer may alter yourvehicle so that it no longer complieswith anti-pollution standards.Have your vehicle checked andadjusted by your RENAULT Dealerin accordance with the instructionsin the vehicle’s Warranty andServices booklet.Your RENAULT Dealer has all theequipment necessary for ensuringthat your vehicle is maintained to itsoriginal standard.

Engine adjustments• ignition: this does not require

adjustment.

• spark plugs: for optimum fueleconomy, efficiency andperformance the specifications laiddown by our Design Departmentmust be strictly applied.If the spark plugs have to bechanged, use the make, type andgap specified for your vehicle’sengine. Contact your RenaultDealer for this information.

• idling speed: this does not requireadjustment.

• Air filter, diesel filter: A cloggedcartridge hinders performance andmust be replaced.

RENAULT is actively striving toreduce pollutant exhaust gasemissions and to save energy.By virtue of its design, moderate fuelconsumption and initial settings,your RENAULT conforms to currentanti-pollution standards. Technicaldesign, however, cannot achieve all.The fuel consumption of yourvehicle and the level of pollutantexhaust gas emissions are also yourresponsibility. Make sure that yourvehicle is maintained and usedcorrectly.

ADVICE ON EMISSION CONTROL, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)

Driving• Drive carefully for the first few

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

• Speed is expensive.• “Sporty” driving is expensive:

drive with a “light right foot”.

Exhaust gas monitoring systemThe exhaust gas monitoring systemwill detect any malfunctioning ofthe vehicle’s exhaust gas anti-pollution system.If this system malfunctions, toxicsubstances may be released into theatmosphere or damage may occur.

ä This instrument panelwarning light shows anysystem faults:

This comes on when the ignition isswitched on and goes out after threeseconds.- If it comes on continuously,

contact your RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible.

- If it flashes, reduce the enginespeed until the light stops flashing.Consult your RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible.

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

• Avoid sudden acceleration.• Do not over-rev the engine in the

intermediate gears.Always use the highest gearpossible without labouring theengine.On versions with automatictransmissions, it is preferable tokeep the gear lever in position D.

• Do not try to maintain the samespeed up a hill, accelerate no morethan you would on level ground.Keep your foot in the sameposition on the accelerator pedal.

• Double de-clutching andaccelerating before switching offare superfluous actions in modernvehicles.

• Bad weather, flooded roads.Do not drive throughfloods if the water isabove the lower edge ofthe wheels.

ADVICE ON EMISSION CONTROL, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)

• It is normal to observe an increasein fuel consumption (especially inurban conditions) when airconditioning is used on vehiclesequipped with air conditioning.For vehicles fitted with manual airconditioning, switch off thesystem when it is not required.

Some advice for reducingconsumption and helping topreserve the environment:Drive with the air vents on and thewindows closed.If the vehicle has been parked inthe sun, open the doors for a fewmoments to let the hot air escapebefore starting the engine.

• Avoid overfilling with fuel andtherefore any spillage.

• Do not leave an empty roof rackfitted to the vehicle.

• It is better to fit a trailer for bulkyobjects.

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

the electrical components whichare not really needed. However(safety first), keep your lights onwhen the visibility is bad (see andbe seen).

• Use the air vents. Driving with thewindows open at 60 mph(100 km/h) will increase fuelconsumption by +4%.

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

• Avoid using the vehicle for “door-to-door” calls (short journeys withlong waits in between) because theengine never reaches its normaloperating temperature.

Tyres• Underinflation increases fuel

consumption.• The use of non-recommended tyres

can increase fuel consumption.

ENVIRONMENTYour vehicle has been designed withthe aim of caring for theenvironment.

Manufacture:RENAULT has manufactured yourvehicle to comply with the strictestenvironmental standards.Furthermore, RENAULT hasimplemented a system for checkingall of the vehicle components.

Emissions:Your vehicle is equipped with anemission control system including acatalytic converter, an oxygensensor and an active carbon filter(the latter prevents vapour from thepetrol tank being released into theopen air).

Recycling:RENAULT has used all its expertiseto reduce environmental impact asfar as possible at the end of theservice life of your vehicle.

This vehicle is more than 95%recyclable. To make recycling easier,many innovations have beenupdated in the design of the vehicleand the materials used.The vehicle contains many partsmade of recycled plastics orrenewable materials (wood, cotton,natural rubber etc.).

Make your contribution towardsprotection of the environment too.• Worn parts replaced in the course

of routine vehicle maintenance(vehicle battery, oil filter, air filter,batteries etc.) and oil containers(empty or filled with used oil)must be disposed of throughspecialist organisations.

• At the end of the vehicle’s servicelife, it should be sent to approvedcentres to ensure that it isrecycled.

• In all cases, comply with locallegislation.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITOROperating principleEach wheel (except the spare wheel)has a sensor in the inflation valvewhich periodically measures thetyre pressure.The system informs the driver thatthe tyres are sufficiently inflatedand warns if they are deflated or ifthere is a leak.

This system monitors the tyreinflation pressure.

The pressures must be adjustedwhen the tyres are cold.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.

2.15

This function is anadditional driving aid.However, the function doesnot take the place of the

driver. It cannot, therefore, underany circumstances replace thevigilance or the responsibility ofthe driver.Check the tyre pressures, includingthe spare wheel, once a month.

Understeer controlThis system optimises the operationof the ESP in the case of pronouncedundersteering (loss of front axleroadholding).

Operating faultsIf the system detects an operatingfault, the message “Check tractioncontrol” or “ESP/ASR notfunctioning” is displayed on theinstrument panel display along withindicator light and indicatorlight A.Contact your RENAULT Dealer.

This system helps to keep control ofthe vehicle in critical drivingsituations (avoiding an obstacle, lossof grip when cornering, etc.) andworks in conjunction with theundersteer control system.

Operating principleA sensor in the steering wheeldetects the direction selected by thedriver.Other sensors throughout the vehiclemeasure the actual direction.The system compares the directionselected by the driver and the actualdirection of the vehicle and correctsthis as necessary by applying thebrakes selectively and/or acting onthe engine power.

2.19

TRACTION CONTROL: ASR

Operating principleUsing the wheel sensors, the systemmeasures and compares the speed ofthe drive wheels at all times andslows down their over-rotation.If a wheel is starting to spin, thesystem brakes automatically untilthe drive supplied becomescompatible with the level of grip.

The system also adjusts the enginespeed to the grip available under thewheels, independently of thepressure exerted on the acceleratorpedal.When the function begins tooperate, warning light A flashes towarn you.

This system helps to limit skiddingon drive wheels and to control thevehicle when pulling away oraccelerating.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABSYou will feel pulsing through thebrake pedal when the system hasbeen activated. These tangible signswill warn you that the grip of thetyres on the ground has reached itslimit and enable you to adapt yourdriving style to suit the roadconditions.

This system also allows you tooptimise stopping distances whenthe grip of one or more wheels maybe lost (wet roads, slippery orvarying road surfaces).

Although this system allows you tomake maximum use of stoppingdistances, even with the ABS youstill have to take account of theactual condition of the road surface.It is still essential to follow the rulesof good driving practice (such asdriving at a safe distance from thevehicle in front). The fact that thevehicle’s safety has been increasedshould not encourage you to takerisks.

Under heavy braking, the system hastwo principal aims; to reduce thestopping distance and keep yourvehicle under control. However,there is a risk that roadholding anddirectional control may be lost andthe wheels may lock under braking,depending on the nature of theground, weather conditions andyour reactions. The Anti-lockBraking System (ABS) has beendesigned to combat this danger.

The safety enhancement is that thebrake control system prevents thewheels from locking, even if thebrakes are applied too sharply, andallows the vehicle to be steered andthus its direction to be controlled.Under these circumstances it isquite possible for the driver to steerthe vehicle and to avoid an obstaclewhilst at the same time applying thebrake.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS (continued)

One of two situations may arise ifthere is a fault in the ABS system:

1 - Orange warning lights xand light up on theinstrument panel.Braking is still performed, butwithout the ABS system. Contacta RENAULT Dealer as soon aspossible.

The braking modulation providedby the ABS is independent of theeffort applied to the brake pedal. Inan emergency, apply firm andcontinuous pressure to the brakepedal There is no need to pump itrepeatedly.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (continued)

Driving in manual modeWith the selector lever in position D,move the lever to the left.Pushing the lever repeatedly allowsyou to change gears manually.- to move down through the gears,

push the lever backwards.- to move up through the gears, push

the lever forwards.

The gear selected is displayed on theinstrument panel.

Special casesUnder certain driving conditions(e.g.: engine protection, withelectronic stability program (ESP)operational: etc.) the “automaticsystem” may change gearautomatically.Likewise, to prevent “incorrectmanoeuvres”, a gear change may berefused by the “automatic system”:in this case the gear display flashesfor a few seconds as a warning.

How to drive as economically aspossibleLeave the selector in position D onthe open road, depress theaccelerator pedal slightly to ensureautomatic gear changes atcomparatively low engine speeds.

Accelerating and overtakingDepress the accelerator pedalbriskly and fully (so that it goesbeyond the kickdown point).This will enable you to changedown to the optimal gear within theengine range.

Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stationary,keeping your foot on the brakepedal, move the lever to position P(park): the gearbox is in neutral andthe drive wheels are mechanicallylocked by the transmission.

Engage the handbrake.

Special circumstances- If the bends and hills on the road

do not allow you to stay inautomatic mode (e.g.: in themountains), we recommend thatyou change to manual mode.This will prevent the automatictransmission from changing gearsrepeatedly when climbing, andpermit engine braking on longdescents.

- To prevent the engine stalling incold weather, start the engine andwait a few seconds before shiftingthe selector lever from position Por N and engaging it in D or R.

- Vehicles not fitted with tractioncontrol: on a slippery surface orsurface with a low level ofadhesion, change to manual modeand select second gear (or eventhird) before starting the engine toavoid wheelspin when starting.

Air recirculation operation(isolating the passengercompartment)Turn control A towards the air

recirculation symbol .

In these conditions air is taken fromthe passenger compartment and isrecirculated, with no air being takenfrom outside the vehicle.

Air recirculation is used to:- isolate the vehicle from the

external atmosphere (driving inpolluted areas, etc.),

- reach the desired temperature inthe passenger compartment asquickly as possible.

Prolonged use of this position canlead to condensation forming onthe side windows and windscreenand problems due to the use ofnon-renewed air in the passengercompartment.We therefore advise you to returnto normal mode (external air) assoon as the recirculated airfunction is no longer required, byturning control A again.

CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)

Ambient temperature (automaticmode)The climate control systemguarantees comfort in the passengercompartment and good visibility(except in the event of extremeconditions), while optimisingconsumption.This is the recommended mode ofuse.

Only the temperature and theAUTO symbol are displayedFunctions managed in automaticmode are not displayed.

- press button 7 to increase thetemperature,

- press button 4 to decrease thetemperature.

Note: the minimum and maximumsettings “15 °C” and “27 °C” allowthe system to produce a maximumamount of cold or warm air,regardless of the ambientconditions.

In automatic mode (AUTOindicator light on the display islit), all air conditioning functionsare controlled by the system.When you modify certainfunctions the AUTO indicatorlight goes out. Only the modifiedfunction is not controlled by thesystem.

Ambient temperature: (automaticmode) (continued)OperationTo reach and keep the chosencomfort level and to maintain goodvisibility, the system controls:- ventilation speed,- the air distribution,- the air recirculation management,- starting and stopping of the air

conditioning,- the air temperature.

Adjusting automatic modeThe automatic mode is the normaloperating mode of the system butyou may alter the selections madeby the system (air distribution, etc.).These options are explained on thefollowing pages.

The displayed temperature valuesshow a comfort level.When the vehicle is started in coldor hot weather, increasing ordecreasing the values displayeddoes not mean that the temperatureis reached more quickly, whateverthe indicated temperature may be,the system optimises the increaseor decrease in temperature (theventilation system does not startinstantly at maximum speed: itgradually increases until theengine temperature is sufficient,which may take from a few secondsto several minutes).Generally speaking, unless there isa particular fault, the dashboard airvents should remain open.

The automatic mode is therecommended mode of use: inthis mode the automatic climatecontrol system guarantees comfortin the passenger compartment andgood visibility (except in the eventof extreme conditions), whileoptimising consumption. Thetypes of adjustments that can bemade are described on thefollowing pages.Return to automatic mode assoon as possible.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating advice

Fuel consumptionYou will normally notice anincrease in fuel consumption(especially in town) when the airconditioning is operating.For vehicles fitted with manual airconditioning, switch off the systemwhen it is not required.

Some advice for reducingconsumption and therefore helpingto conserve the environment:It is advisable to drive with thevents open and the windowsclosed.If the vehicle has been parked in thesun, open the doors for a fewmoments to let the hot air escapebefore starting the engine.

MaintenanceRefer to the Warranty and Servicesbooklet for your vehicle for thereplacement frequency.

Operating faultsGenerally, in the event of anoperating fault, consult yourRENAULT Dealer.- Reduction in de-icing, demisting

or air conditioning performance.This may be caused by thepassenger compartment filtercartridge becoming clogged.

- No cold air is being produced.Check that the controls are setcorrectly and that the fuses aresound. Otherwise, switch off thesystem.

- Presence of water under thevehicle. After prolonged use of theair conditioning system, it isnormal for water to be presentunder the vehicle. This is causedby condensation.

Do not open the refrigerant fluidcircuit. The fluid may damage theeyes or skin.

ENGINE OIL LEVELIt is normal for an engine to use oilfor lubrication and cooling ofmoving parts and it is normal to topup the level between oil changes.However, contact your RENAULTDealer if more than 0.5 litres is beingconsumed every 600 miles (1,000km) after the running in period.

Oil change frequency: check the oillevel from time to time andcertainly before any long journey toavoid the risk of damaging yourengine.

Reading the oil levelThe vehicle must be parked on levelground and the engine should havebeen switched off for some timebeforehand to obtain an accuratereading.

To be able to read the exact oil leveland make sure that the maximumlevel has not been exceeded (risk ofengine damage), the dipstick mustbe used.In the following pages, see Engineoil level: topping up/filling.The instrument panel display onlyshows a warning when theminimum oil level has been reached.

Minimum oil level warning on theinstrument panelWhen ignition has been switched onfor approximately 30 seconds:- if the level is above the minimum

level, the display indicates “oillevel correct”: message 1.

To gain a more precise indicationof the level, press the trip mileagereset button or the informationscroll button on the trip computer.

The squares which appear on thedisplay indicate the level. Theydisappear as the oil level drops andthey are replaced by dashes.To advance to trip computerreading, press the button again.- if the level is at the minimum

level: the message “top up oillevel” appears on the display; thesquares are replaced by dashes(message 2) and the warning light

is illuminated on theinstrument panel.It is vital to top up the oil as soonas possible.

Message 1Level above minimum

Message 2Minimum level

The display only shows awarning when theminimum level has beenreached, not when the

maximum has been exceeded.This can only be detected withthe dipstick.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCEProtection against the effects ofcorrosive agentsAlthough your vehicle has beentreated with very effective anti-corrosion products, it neverthelessremains subject to the effects of:

• corrosives in the atmosphere- atmospheric pollution (urban

and industrial areas).- saline atmospheres (near the sea,

particularly in hot weather),- seasonal and damp climatic

conditions, (e.g: road salt inwinter, water from roadcleaners).

• abrasives

Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,road grit thrown up by othervehicles.

• minor impacts

You should take a number of minorprecautions in order to safeguardyour vehicle against such risks andnot to lose the benefit of yourvehicle’s anti-corrosion protection.

You should not• Wash the vehicle in bright

sunlight or freezing temperatures.

• Scrape off mud or dirt withoutpre-wetting.

• Allow dirt to accumulate.

• Allow rust to form followingminor impacts.

• Use solvents not approved byRENAULT’s Technical Departmentto remove stains as this coulddamage the paintwork.

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

• Degrease or clean mechanicalcomponents (e.g. enginecompartment), underneath thebodywork, parts with hinges (e.g.inside the fuel tank flap) andpainted plastic external fittings(e.g. bumpers) using high pressurecleaning apparatus or by sprayingon products not approved byRENAULT’s Technical Department.If adequate precautions are nottaken, this could give rise tocorrosion or operational faults.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)

You should- Frequently wash your car, with the

engine off, with cleaning productsrecommended by us (never useabrasive products) and be sure torinse the wheel arches andunderneath the bodywork toeliminate:- spots of tree resin and industrial

grime;- bird droppings, which contain

chemicals that rapidly discolourpaintwork and may even causethe paint to peel off;The vehicle must be washedimmediately to remove thesemarks since it is impossible toremove them by polishing.

- salt deposited in the wheel archesand the underside of the bodyafter driving in areas where theroads have been gritted,

- mud in the wheel arches and theunderside of the body whichforms damp patches.

- Observe the vehicle stoppingdistances when driving on gravelledsurfaces to prevent paint damage.

- Repair, or have repaired quickly,areas where the paint has beendamaged to prevent corrosionspreading.

- Remember to visit the body shopperiodically in order to maintainyour RENAULT anti-corrosionwarranty. Refer to the Warrantyand Services booklet.

- Respect local regulations aboutwashing vehicles (e.g. do not washyour vehicle on a public highway).

- Before using a roller type car wash,return the wiper stalk to the Stopposition (refer to theWipers/Washers information insection 1). Check the mounting ofexternal accessories, additionallights and rear-view mirrors andtake care to attach the wiper bladesand radio aerial with an adhesive.Remove the car phone aerial if yourvehicle is fitted with thisequipment.

- Spray mechanical components,hinges, etc. with productsapproved by RENAULT’s TechnicalDepartment to protect them afterthey have been cleaned.

We have selected specialproducts to care for your vehicleand you can obtain these fromRENAULT accessory outlets.

CHANGING A WHEEL

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.Undo the wheel bolts withwheelbrace 1. Position it so that youcan push it from above.Fit the jack 3 horizontally; the jackhead must be fitted at the height ofthe bodywork support 2 closest tothe wheel concerned, marked by anarrow 4.Crank up the jack by hand at first toalign the base plate (which shouldbe inclined further inwards underthe car).

Turn a few times to lift the wheel offthe ground.Undo the bolts and take off thewheel.Fit the spare wheel on the centralhub and turn it to locate themounting holes in the wheel and thehub.If bolts are supplied with theemergency spare wheel, only usethese bolts for the emergency sparewheel. Tighten the bolts and lowerthe jack.With the wheel on the ground, fullytighten the bolts and check they arecorrectly tightened as quickly aspossible (tightening torque 110 Nm).

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

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

Park the car on firm, levelground which is not slippery(e.g. avoid tiled flooring,etc.) - if necessary, place a

plank of wood under the jack forsupport. Switch on the hazardwarning lights.Apply the hand brake and engage agear (first or reverse, or P forautomatic transmission).Ask all the passengers to leave thevehicle and keep them away fromtraffic.

TYRES

Maintaining the tyresThe tyres must be in good conditionand the tread form must havesufficient depth; tyres approved byRenault’s Technical Departmenthave wear warning strips 1 in theform of indicators moulded into thetread at several points.

Tyre and wheel safetyThe tyres are the only contactbetween the vehicle and the road, soit is essential to keep them in goodcondition.You must make sure that your tyresconform to local road regulations.

When the tyre tread has been erodedto the level of the warning strips,they become visible 2: it is thennecessary to replace your tyresbecause the tread rubber is only 1.6mm deep at the most and thiscauses poor road holding on wetroads.An overloaded vehicle, longjourneys by motorway, particularlyin very hot weather, or continualdriving on poorly surfaced minorroads will lead to more rapid tyrewear and affect safety.

When they need to bereplaced, only tyres of thesame make, size, type andprofile should be used.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle shouldeither be identical to those fittedoriginally or be of a typerecommended by your RENAULTDealer.

Incidents which occurwhen driving, such asstriking the kerb, maydamage the tyres and

wheel rims, and could also leadto misalignment of the front orrear axle geometry. If suchincidents occur, have thecondition of these parts checkedby a RENAULT Dealer.


NU761_2_G5-FRA.qxd 4/11/05 11:09 Page 5.07

5.07

TYRES (continued)

Pressures should be checked whenthe tyres are cold; ignore higherpressures which may be reached inhot weather or following a fastjourney.If the tyre pressures cannot bechecked when the tyres are cold,assume an increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar(or 3 psi.).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Note: a label (depending on countryor model) fixed to the edge or frameof the driver’s door gives therecommended tyre pressures.

Changing wheels aroundThis practice is not recommended.

Tyre pressuresTyre pressures must be adhered to,tyre pressures for all wheels(including the spare wheel) must bechecked at least once a month andalways before a long journey (referto the information on Tyrepressures).

Emergency spare wheelRefer to the information relating tothe emergency spare wheel andchanging a wheel in Section 5.

Fitting new tyres

Incorrect tyre pressureslead to abnormal tyrewear and unusually hotrunning, factors which

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

throwing a tread at high speed.The pressure depends on the loadand the speed of use. Adjust thepressures according to theconditions of use (refer to theinformation on Tyre pressures).

Vehicles equipped withthe tyre pressure monitorEach of the sensors fittedin the valves is dedicated

to one particular wheel: thewheels must therefore not beswapped around.There is a risk of incorrectinformation which could haveserious consequences.

For safety reasons, thisoperation must be carriedout by a specialist.Fitting different tyres may

change your vehicle as follows:- It may mean that your vehicle

no longer conforms to currentregulations.

- It may change the way it handleswhen cornering.

- It may cause the steering to beheavy.

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

chains.

5.08

TYRES (continued)

• “Winter” or “Thermorubber”TyresWe would recommend that thesebe fitted to all four wheels toensure that your vehicle retainsmaximum road holding.

Note: we would point out thatthese tyres may sometimes have:- a driving direction,- a maximum speed index which

may be lower than the maximumspeed of your vehicle.

• Studded tyresThis type of equipment may onlybe used for a limited period and aslaid down by local legislation.It is necessary to observe thespeed specified by currentlegislation.These tyres may be fitted to thetwo front wheels as a minimum.

In all cases, we would recommendthat you contact your RENAULTDealer who will be able to adviseyou on the choice of equipmentwhich is most suitable for yourvehicle.

Use in winter• Snow chains

For safety reasons, fitting snowchains to the rear axle is strictlyforbidden.Chains cannot be fitted to tyreswhich are larger than thoseoriginally fitted to the vehicle.

Chains may only be fittedto tyres of the same size asthose originally fitted toyour vehicle.

Only certain chains can be fittedto tyres. Contact your RENAULTDealer.

Special note on versions fittedwith 17" wheels: snow chains maynot be fittedIf you wish to use specialequipment, contact yourRENAULT Dealer.

BATTERY: troubleshootingTo avoid all risk of sparks:- Ensure that any consumers

(courtesy lights etc.) are switchedoff before disconnecting orreconnecting the battery.

- When charging, stop the chargerbefore connecting or disconnectingthe battery.

- Do not place metal objects on thebattery to avoid creating a shortcircuit between the terminals.

- Never disconnect a battery lessthan twenty seconds after theengine has been switched off.

- Make sure that you reconnect thebattery terminals after refitting.

Handle the battery with careas it contains sulphuric acidwhich must not come intocontact with the eyes or

skin. If it does, wash the affectedarea with plenty of cold water.Ensure that naked flames, red hotobjects and sparks do not come intocontact with the battery as there is arisk of explosion.Take care when working in theengine compartment as the enginecooling fan may start to operate atany moment without warning.Risk of injury.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)

Connecting a battery chargerThe battery charger should becompatible with a battery with anominal voltage of 12 Volts.With the engine switched off, it isessential to disconnect the cablesconnected to both battery terminals,starting with the negative terminal.Do not disconnect the battery whenthe engine is running. Follow themanufacturer’s instructions for thebattery charger you are using.Only a well-charged and well-maintained battery will have a longand useful life and enable you tostart the vehicle’s engine normally.The battery must be kept clean anddry.Have the battery’s charge statuschecked regularly:• Especially if you use your vehicle

for short journeys or for frequentdriving in town.

• When the external temperaturedrops (in winter), the chargedecreases. In winter, only useelectrical equipment which isreally necessary.

• Finally, you should understandthat the charge decreases naturallyas a result of certain “permanentelectrical consumers” such as theclock, After-Sales accessories, etc.

When many accessories are fitted tothe vehicle, have them connected to + after ignition feed. In this case,it is advisable to have your vehiclefitted with a battery which has anincreased capacity. Contact yourRENAULT Dealer.

If your vehicle is to be left stationaryfor a relatively long time, disconnectthe battery or have it rechargedregularly, in particular during coldweather. The equipment with amemory, radio etc. will then have tobe reprogrammed. The battery mustbe stored in a cool dry place,protected from frost.

Special procedures maybe required to chargesome batteries. Contactyour RENAULT Dealer.

Avoid all risk of sparks whichmay cause an immediateexplosion and charge the batteryin a well-ventilated area. Risk ofserious injury.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)

Starting the vehicle using thebattery from another vehicleProceed as follows when startingyour vehicle from another vehicle’sbattery:Obtain suitable jump leads (with alarge cross section) from aRENAULT Dealer or, if you alreadyhave jump leads, ensure that theyare in perfect condition.The two batteries must have anidentical voltage: 12 volts. Thebattery supplying the current shouldhave a capacity (amp-hours, Ah)which is at least the same as that ofthe discharged battery.Ensure that there is no risk ofcontact between the two vehicles(risk of short circuiting when thepositive terminals are connected)and that the discharged battery isproperly connected. Switch off yourvehicle ignition.Start the engine of the vehiclesupplying the current and run it atan intermediate engine speed.

Check that there is no contactbetween cables A and B and thatcable A (+) is not touching any metalparts on the vehicle supplying thecurrent.Start the engine as you wouldnormally. As soon as it is running,disconnect cables A and B in theinverse order (4-3-2-1).

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

- It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular laiddown in the Road Traffic Regulations. Consult your RENAULT Dealer about any attachments. Under no circumstancesmay the gross train weight (= maximum permissible all-up weight plus weight towed) be exceeded.

- If your vehicle is already at full load (maximum permissible all-up weight), the maximum speed must be limited to 60 mph(100 km/h) and the tyre pressures increased by 0.2 bar (3 psi).

- The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reducedby 10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.
