ANTI-INTRUSION ALARMThis protects the vehicle byperforming the following functions:- volumetric protection of the front

passenger compartment using anultrasound field;

- protection of the passengercompartment perimeter;

- protection of the rear load areaand bonnet;

- monitoring in the event of anattempt to start the engine with anincorrect ignition key;

- monitoring in the event of alarmpower supply cut-off.

Before activating the alarmfunctionCheck that:- the windows and doors are

properly closed;- there are no passengers, animals

or objects inside the vehicle whichcould move and set off the alarm.Otherwise, it will be necessary todisable the volumetric protectionpromptly; refer to the section ondisabling the spatial protection.

To disable the volumetricprotection (e.g. in the event ofthere being a moving object oranimal in the vehicle).Press and hold locking side 1 of theremote control unit; the alarm willbleep to confirm it is disabled.It remains disabled even if youpress locking side 1 of the remotecontrol locking unit several times.Unlocking the doors stops theprotection from being disabled.

NU698_7_G1-FRA.qxd 8/11/05 9:13 Page 1.14


1.14

ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM (continued)

Activating the alarm functionThe alarm is set when the doors arelocked with the remote control unit.

This is signalled by the hazardwarning lights flashing twiceWhen the alarm function isactivated, any detection leads to thealarm being triggered and thehazard warning lights flashing foraround 25 seconds.After approximately 5 seconds, ifthe detection continues, the systemwill start once more forapproximately 25 seconds and thenagain (8 to 10 times, depending onthe type of detection).Beyond that, there is no moremonitoring until the doors are nextunlocked/locked.

The absence of flashinghazard warning lightswhen the alarm is setindicates that a door or

the bonnet is open or incorrectlyclosed: check. If this is not thecase, contact your RENAULTDealer.

Deactivating the alarm functionEven when triggered, the alarmstops:- when the doors are unlocked with

the remote control unit;- when the vehicle ignition is

switched on.

Deactivation is indicated by thehazard warning lights flashingonce.

Failure of the hazardwarning lights to flashwhen the alarm isdeactivated indicates

that the alarm was triggeredduring your absence.

Opening the doors with thekey does not stop the alarm;it must be stopped usingthe remote control unit or

by switching on the ignition.

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

• No adjustments should be made to the original component parts of the restraint system (belts, seats and theirmountings).For special cases (e.g. fitting child seats) contact your RENAULT Dealer.

• Do not use devices which allow any play in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn tooloosely risks causing injuries in the event of an accident.

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

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

• 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 signsof wear.

• 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 while travelling.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTSDepending on the model, theseinclude:

■ Pretensioners(described below).

■ Driver and front passengerairbags (described on thefollowing pages).

The passenger airbag protects thefront passenger(s) (according towhether there is a conventionalseat or a bench seat in the front).

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

only;- the pretensioner is triggered to

rectify belt position and take upplay in the belt;

- the airbag will inflate in the mostsevere cases.

PretensionersWith the ignition on, if the vehicle issubjected to a severe frontal impact,piston 1 immediately retracts theseat belt buckle, pulling the seat beltagainst the body and therebyincreasing its efficiency.

• Following an accident,have the entire restraintsystem checked.

• No operation whatsoever ispermitted on any part of thesystem (pretensioners, airbags,computers, wiring) and thesystem components must not bereused on any other vehicle,even if 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 Dealerfor disposal of the pretensionersand airbag gas generators.

1.24

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

Driver and passenger airbagsAn airbag may be provided for boththe driver and the front passenger.Airbag inscriptions on the steeringwheel and dashboard together witha label on the lower part of thewindscreen indicate that thevehicle is equipped with an airbag.

The passenger airbag protects thefront passenger(s) (according towhether there is a conventionalseat or a bench seat in the front).

Each airbag system consists of:- an airbag and gas generator fitted

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

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

- a single warning light on

the instrument panel.

NU698_7_G1-FRA.qxd 8/11/05 9:14 Page 1.25


1.25


Driver and passenger airbags(continued)OperationThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.If a severe frontal impact occurs, theairbag(s) inflate(s) rapidly,cushioning the impact of thedriver's head and chest against thesteering wheel and the frontpassenger's head against thedashboard. The airbag then deflatesimmediately so that the passengersare not impeded in any way whenthey get out of the vehicle.

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.

The airbag system uses theprinciples of pyrotechnics. Thisexplains why, when the airbaginflates, it will generate heat,produce smoke (this does notmean that a fire is about to start)and make a noise upondetonation. In a situation wherean airbag is required, it willinflate immediately and this maycause some minor, superficialgrazing to the skin or otherproblems.

All the warnings below are given sothat airbag activation is notobstructed in any way and also toprevent the risk of serious injuriescaused by items which may bedislodged 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, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to thesteering wheel boss.

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

• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving. Sit with your armsslightly bent (see the information on Adjusting your driving position inSection 1). This will allow sufficient space for the airbag to deploycorrectly and be fully effective.

Warnings for passenger airbag: location A• Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to

the dashboard near the airbag.

• 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 your body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard.

A REAR-FACING CHILD/BABY SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THEPASSENGER SEAT IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A

PASSENGER AIRBAG.

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.

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,the occupants 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 always

possible with airbags.

If the vehicle should overturn, or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are notalways triggered. Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, from pavements, potholes, stones etc. can all trigger thesesystems.

• No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the driver or passenger airbag system(computer, wiring harness, etc.), 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).

CHILD SAFETYIn 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 isused correctly.Child restraints for which typeapproval was obtained after January1992 offer a level of safety muchgreater than for restraints with typeapproval before that date.It is therefore advisable to select achild restraint that complies withEuropean regulation ECE 44.Restraints that comply with thislegislation must be marked with anorange label bearing the letter Efollowed by a number (whichrepresents the country where it istype approved) and the year inwhich the type approval wasgranted.

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

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

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,even if you yourself are wearing abelt.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.

There are some passenger seats onwhich the installation of child seatsis forbidden. To find out theauthorised seats and types of childseats that can be installed in each ofthe authorised seats, refer to thetables on the following pages.

Before installing a child seat in thefront seat (if installation ispermitted)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,- lower the seat base as far as

possible,- raise the headrest to its highest

setting,- move the seat belt height control

to the bottom position.

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

The right choiceThe safety of your children is alsoyour responsibility.To ensure that your child has themaximum possible protection, werecommend that you use seatsapproved by the RENAULTNetwork.Restraint systems for all thecategories are available. Thesesystems have been developed inconsultation with themanufacturers and have been testedin RENAULT vehicles.Contact your RENAULT Dealer forhelp installing it. Categories 0 and 0+ (from 0 to

13 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'sthree-point belts are not adequateand there is also a risk that the childwill sustain abdominal injuries inthe event of a frontal impact. It istherefore advisable to use a buckettype seat that restrains the child bymeans of a harness or shockabsorbing pad.To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use

RENAULT approved accessories because they are designed for yourvehicle and are the only accessories for which RENAULT willprovide a warranty.

NU698_7_G1-FRA.qxd 8/11/05 9:14 Page 1.34


1.34


Category 2 (from 15 kg to 25 kg)Category 3 (from 22 kg to 36 kg)For correctly supporting the pelvisof a child under 10 years, with aheight under 1.36 m and a weight ofless than 36 kg, it is preferable to usea booster cushion with belt guidesthat ensure that the three-point beltlies flat over the child's thighs.

A booster seat with aheight-adjustable seatback and abelt 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 headrest in the topposition to allow you to press theseatback of the child seat firmlyagainst the vehicle seatback.If a booster seat without a seatbackis used, the vehicle's headrest willhave to be adjusted to suit thechild's stature; the upper edge of theheadrest must be at the same heightas the top of the child's head andshould never be lower than in linewith the child's eyes.

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

DANGERIt is forbidden to install arear-facing child seat on thefront passenger seat when

the vehicle is fitted with a frontpassenger airbag. There is a risk ofvery serious injury if the airbaginflates.The label (on the dashboard) andmarking (on the front passengersun visor) remind you of theseinstructions.

CHILD SAFETY• No modifications may be made to the original component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and

their 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 tensionregularly.

• 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, have the seat belts and restraint systems in use at the time checked.

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

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

• 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.

Interpreting values displayedafter resetting:The values showing average fuelconsumption, range and averagespeed will become more stable andreliable the further you travel sincethe last time the reset button waspressed.

For the first few miles after pressingthe reset button you will notice:• that the range increases as you

travel. This is normal; averagefuel consumption may decreasewhen:- the vehicle stops accelerating,- the engine reaches its operating

temperature (engine cold whenreset button pressed),

- when driving from an urbanarea onto the open road.

Therefore, if the average fuelconsumption decreases, the rangewill increase.

• You may also notice that theaverage fuel consumptionincreases when the vehicle isstationary and the engine idling.This is normal since the computertakes account of fuel used duringidling.

SPECIAL FEATURESDiesel engine speedDiesel engines are fitted withinjection equipment whichprevents the engine speed frombeing exceeded irrespective of thegear selected.

Running out of fuelIf the fuel tank has been drainedcompletely, you may start theengine normally after refilling thefuel tank provided that the battery iswell charged.However, if after a few seconds andseveral attempts the engine fails tostart, contact a RENAULT Dealer.

Precautions to be taken inwinterTo avoid any faults in icy weather:• ensure that your battery is always

well charged;• always keep the fuel tank

relatively full to avoid watervapour condensing in it andaccumulating at the bottom of thetank.

Vehicles fitted with diesel fuelheaterThis equipment enables diesel fuelto be used with no additives up to–18°C or, if the vehicle is usedregularly over short distances (coldengine), up to –5°C.

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

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

ADVICE ON EMISSION CONTROL, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVINGRENAULT is actively striving toreduce pollutant exhaust gasemissions and to save energy.By virtue of its design, moderatefuel consumption and initialsettings, your RENAULT conformsto current antipollution standards.Technical design, however, cannotachieve all. The fuel consumptionof your vehicle and the level ofpollutant exhaust gas emissions arevery much within your control.Make sure that your vehicle ismaintained correctly, and is drivencarefully.

MaintenanceIt should be noted that failure torespect antipollution standards maylead 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 antipollution 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 toits original standard.

Engine adjustments• Idle speed: this does not require

adjustment.

• Air filter, diesel filter: a chokedfilter element reduces output andmust be replaced.

NU698_7_G2-FRA.qxd 4/11/05 16:14 Page 2.06


2.06

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".

• Study the road ahead so that youare able to brake as little aspossible, it can be sufficient justto lift your foot off the accelerator.

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

intermediate gears. Always usethe highest gear possible withoutlabouring the engine.

• Do not try to maintain the samespeed up a hill, accelerate nomore than you would on levelground. Keep your foot in thesame position on the acceleratorpedal.

• Double de-clutching andaccelerating before switching offare superfluous actions inmodern vehicles.

• Bad weather, flooded roads.Do not drive throughfloods if the depth ofwater is above the loweredge of the wheel rims.

NU698_7_G2-FRA.qxd 4/11/05 16:14 Page 2.07


2.07

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

Advice on use• Electricity is fuel; switch off all

the electrical components whichare not really needed.However (safety first), keep yourlights on when the visibility ispoor ("see and be seen").

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

• On vehicles with airconditioning, it is normal toobserve an increase in fuelconsumption (especially whendriving in town) when it is used.Switch off the system when it isnot required.

• Never fill the fuel tank right to thebrim to avoid overflow.

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

• It is better to fit a trailer for bulkyobjects.

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

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

Avoid using the vehicle fordoor-to-door calls (short journeyswith long waits in between) becausethe engine never reaches its normaloperating temperature.

TyresIncreased fuel consumption couldbe the result of:• insufficient pressure,• using non-recommended tyres.

To release:Pull up the lever slightly, pressbutton 1 and then lower the lever tothe floor.The red warning light on theinstrument panel will light up ifyou are driving with an incorrectlyreleased handbrake.

Make sure that thehandbrake is properlyreleased when driving,otherwise overheatingmay occur.

To apply:Pull upwards, check that thevehicle is properly immobilised.

Depending on thevehicle gradient and/orload, it may be necessaryto add at least two

additional locking notches andengage a gear (1st or reverse).

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)Under heavy braking, the systemhas two principal aims; to reducethe stopping 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. This system also allows youto optimise stopping distanceswhen the grip of one or more wheelsmay be 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.You 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.

Operating faultsTwo possible situations may occur:

1 - The warning light on

the instrument panel is on.Braking is still performed, butwithout the ABS system.Contact a RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible.

2 - Warning lights

and on the

instrument panel are lit.This indicates that both thebraking system and the ABSsystem are faulty. Your brakingsystems are only partiallyoperational. However, it isdangerous to brake suddenlyand it is essential to stopimmediately, as soon as trafficconditions allow. Contact aRENAULT Dealer.The braking modulation provided by the ABS is independent of the effort

applied to the brake pedal. In an emergency, apply firm and continuouspressure to the brake pedal. There is no need to pump it repeatedly.

Operation in semiautomaticmode (manual)It is possible to switch fromautomatic mode to semiautomaticmode at any time when the vehicleis in motion by moving the selectorlever up or down through the gearsor by pushing the lever to the left. Inthis case, the switch will be madewithout changing upwards.You can initiate gear changes usingthe selector lever.To shift up a gear, simply push theselector lever forwards; theaccelerator pedal does not have tobe released.To move down through the gears,simply push the selector leverbackwards; the accelerator pedaldoes not have to be released.

The system does not acceptdownshifts which would generate ahigh engine speed or upshifts whichwould cause low engine speed.By pushing the lever forwards twiceyou can move up two gears at a time(except at low speeds). By pushingthe lever backwards twice you canmove down two gears at a time(unless this causes overrevving).When decelerating with the foot offthe pedal, the gears willautomatically drop to the low speedlimit to avoid stalling. First gearautomatically engages below acertain speed limit. You can stop thevehicle at red lights or junctions etc.by pressing the brake pedal; there isno need to change to neutral (N).

The vehicle will move off again:- either slowly, if you release the

brake without accelerating (e.g.when in a traffic jam)

- or quickly, if you release the brakeand accelerate.

Note: neutral may only be selectedwhen the vehicle is being driven oris stationary when the brake pedalis depressed (if you forget, warninglight 2 will light up).Push the gear lever to the right toselect neutral.If the engine speed is too high or toolow, the system will choose theoptimum gear.Semiautomatic mode can bedeactivated and reactivated at anytime when the engine is running bypushing the lever to the left.

Operation in automatic modeAutomatic mode is selected bydefault every time the ignition isswitched on.It can be activated or deactivated atany time when the engine isrunning by pushing the lever to theleft. The letter A appears on thedisplay. The vehicle is controlledusing the accelerator and the brake.Gears will change automatically atthe correct moment at a suitableengine speed because automaticmode takes into consideration theroad surface and the chosen drivingstyle.Gears may be shifted manually inthis mode. Pushing the leverforwards once shifts up a gear(unless there is a risk ofunderrevving) and pulling it backonce shifts down a gear (unlessthere is a risk of overrevving), andthe system switches to manualmode.

Note:Automatic mode takes account of:- the position and speed of

depression of the acceleratorpedal to assess driving style andselect the optimum gear,

- action on the brake pedal to alertthe engine brake by anticipatingthe down-change.

When the vehicle is stopped attraffic lights, with a gear engaged,you can keep the vehicle stationaryusing the brake without having toselect neutral.The vehicle will move off again:- either slowly, if you release just

Special circumstancesSnow modeIf you are driving on ground whereyou are likely to skid (snow, mud,

etc.), press the switch on the

dashboard. The indicator light willlight up on the instrument panel.

Once these driving conditions nolonger apply, deselect this positionby pressing the switch again. Theindicator light will go out.

Switching to snow mode selects thegearbox automatic mode (switchingto manual inhibits snow mode untilautomatic mode is selected again).Snow mode is deselected every timethe engine is switched off. It will benecessary to select it again.

Load positionWhen the vehicle is driven laden,press the switch on thedashboard. The indicator light willlight up on the instrument panel.Load mode is deselected every timethe engine is switched off. It will benecessary to select it again.Load mode may be used to equaleffect in both automatic and manualmodes.

Accelerating and overtakingYou have two options:- slowly depress the accelerator

pedal to accelerate gradually,- to obtain maximum vehicle

performance regardless of themode selected (automatic ormanual), quickly depress theaccelerator pedal beyond thekickdown point.

The speed that you depress thepedal will allow you to shift downto obtain maximum performance.

ParkingIt is possible to park in gear (forexample, on a slope). To do this:- with the ignition on, select a gear

with the brake pedal depressed,- check that a gear other than N is

displayed on the instrumentpanel, then remove the ignitionkey.

To disengage the gear, switch on theignition without starting the engineand shift the selector lever toneutral with the brake pedaldepressed. Check that N isdisplayed on the instrument panel.

Buzzer•If you keep the vehicle on a slope

for too long without applying thebrakes or handbrake, there is a riskthat the clutch will overheat.In this event, an intermittent beepwill remind you that you shouldput your foot on the brake or applythe handbrake.

•Never leave the vehicle with theengine running when in gear. Forsafety reasons, if you have notselected neutral or you have notswitched off the ignition ordepressed the brake pedal youwill hear an intermittent beepwhen you open the door.

•If your vehicle will not start, youcan perform a 'rolling' start,provided that the battery is not flat(display lit up).Proceed as follows:- switch on the ignition,- select neutral,- push or tow the vehicle or roll it

down a steep enough slope.Moving the selector leverforwards will engage the gearmost suited to starting theengine.

Note: never attempt this manoeuvrein reverse.

Operating faultsIf this warning light comeson when the vehicle is inmotion, it indicates a fault

in the system.In most cases, you may still drivethe vehicle, although it will notfunction perfectly. However, youshould contact a RENAULT Dealeras soon as possible.

Towing a vehicle with asequential gearboxIf the gearbox is stuck in a gear:- switch on the ignition,- select neutral with the brake

pedal depressed,- check that the gearbox is in neutral

(by pushing the vehicle, forexample).

If you cannot find neutral you musttow the vehicle with the frontwheels raised.The vehicle should always betowed with the ignition switchedoff.

VEHICLE WITH OVERSPEED FUNCTION

The overspeed function speed maybe permanently set at a fixed valuedepending on the vehicle or onlocal legislation.To adjust the value oractivate/deactivate the function,consult your RENAULT Dealer.Label 1 attached to the dashboardtells you the speed selected.

Special case: if your vehicle is fittedwith a Quickshift gearbox and/orthe Cruise control/Speed limiter,fully depressing the acceleratorpedal (beyond the kickdown point)will not allow you to exceed theoverspeed function set speed (referto the Speed limiter paragraph insection 2).

In exceptional circumstances(e.g. steep gradient), theoverspeed function speed maybe exceeded slightly as thefunction does not affect thebraking system.

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

driver. Under no circumstancesshould it replace observation ofspeed limits nor vigilance andresponsibility on the part of thedriver.

ENGINE OIL LEVELIt is normal for an engine to use oilfor lubrication and cooling ofmoving parts and it is sometimesnecessary to top up the levelbetween oil changes.However, contact your RENAULTDealer if more than 0.5 litres arebeing consumed every 600 miles(1,000 km) after the running inperiod.

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. Theinstrument panel display onlyshows a warning when theminimum oil level has beenreached.

Minimum oil level warning on theinstrument panelWhen ignition has been switchedon for approximately 30 seconds:- if the oil level is above the

minimum, the Oil Ok messagecomes up on the display (displaymessage 1).This message refers to the leveland not the grade.

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

The squares which appear on thedisplay indicate the level. Thesesymbols disappear as the oil leveldrops and they are replaced bydashes.To advance to trip computerreading, press the button again.- when the minimum oil level is

reached, the word Ok is notdisplayed; the dashes and theword Oil flashes (display message2) and on some versions the

warning light on the

instrument panel comes on.It is vital to top up the oil as soonas possible.

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

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

Engine oil gradeRefer to the Warranty and Servicesbooklet for your vehicle forinformation regarding which gradeof oil to use.

- Unscrew cap 3;- top up the level (for information,

the capacity between theminimum and maximum readingon dipstick 4 is between 1.5 and 2litres depending on the engine);

- wait for approximately 10 minutesto allow the oil to drain into theengine;

- check the level on the dipstick 4(as explained previously).

BODYWORK MAINTENANCEProtection against the effects ofcorrosive agentsAlthough your vehicle has beentreated with very effectiveanticorrosion products, itnevertheless remains subject to theeffects 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).

• abrasiveswind-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 anticorrosion protection.

You should not• Wash the vehicle in bright

sunlight or freezing temperatures.• Scrape off mud or dirt without

pre-wetting.• Allow dirt to accumulate.• Allow rust to form following

minor impacts.• Use solvents not approved by

RENAULT's TechnicalDepartment to remove spots asthis could damage the paintwork.

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

• Degrease or clean the mechanicalcomponents (enginecompartment, etc.), underneaththe body, parts with hinges (fuelfiller flap, inside of filler flap,sunroof, etc.) and paintedexternal plastic fittings (bumpers,etc.) using high-pressure or spraycleaning equipment products notapproved by our technicalservices. If adequate precautionsare not taken, this could give riseto corrosion or operational faults.

NU698_7_G4-FRA.qxd 25/10/05 12:55 Page 4.13


4.13

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)

You should• Wash your car frequently with

cleaning products recommendedby Renault (never use abrasiveproducts) and be sure to jet-rinsethe wheel arches and underneaththe body to eliminate:- spots of tree resin and industrial

grime;- bird droppings, which contain

chemicals that rapidlydiscolour paintwork and mayeven cause the paint to peel off.The vehicle must be washedimmediately to remove thesemarks since it is impossible toremove them by polishing.

- salt deposited in the wheelarches and the underside of thebody after driving in areaswhere the roads have beengritted;

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

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

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

• Remember to visit the body shopperiodically in order to maintainyour RENAULT anticorrosionwarranty. Refer to the Warrantyand Services booklet.

• Respect local regulationsregarding washing vehicles (e.g.do not wash your vehicle on apublic highway).

• Before using a roller type car wash,move the wiper stalk to park position(see information on windscreenwash/wipe in Section 1). Check themounting of external accessories,additional lights and mirrors, andensure that the wiper blades andradioaerialaresecuredwithadhesivetape.If your vehicle has a car phone,remove the aerials.

• Spray mechanical componentswith products approved byRENAULT's TechnicalDepartment to protect them afterthey have been cleaned.

CHANGING A WHEEL

Park the car on firm, levelground which is notslippery (e.g. avoid tiledfloors), placing a solid

support under the jack base plate ifnecessary. Switch on the hazardwarning lights.Apply the handbrake and engage agear (first or reverse).Ask all the passengers to leave thevehicle and keep them away fromtraffic.

Loosen the wheel bolts slightly byfitting ratchet spanner 2 so that youpress downwards, rather than pullupwards.Check the tightening/looseningdirection of the ratchet spanner:reverse the spanner if it does notwork.Insert the jack horizontally; the jackhead pin should line up with hole 3in the lower part of the bodyworknearest to the wheel concerned.

Crank up the jack by hand at first toalign the base plate (loosely underthe vehicle). Place a plank of woodunder the base plate if on softground.Insert socket 1 and raise the wheeloff the ground.Loosen the wheel bolts and removethe hubcap.Take off the wheel.Fit the emergency spare wheel ontothe hubPosition the hubcap, tighten thebolts and lower the jack.With the wheels on the ground,tighten the bolts as fully as possibleand check the tightness as soon aspossible (tightening torque: 172Nm).

If you have a puncture,replace the wheel as soonas possible.

A tyre which has been puncturedshould always be inspected (andrepaired, where possible) by aspecialist.

TYRE INFLATION KIT

Conditions of use

The kit repairs tyres withtread B damaged byobjects smaller than6 mm. It cannot repair all

types of puncture, such as cutsmore than 6 mm long, or cuts inthe sidewall C of the tyre.Check that the wheel rim is alsoin good condition.

Do not attempt to use theinflation kit if the tyre hasbeen damaged as a result ofdriving with a puncture.

You should therefore carefullycheck the condition of the tyresidewalls before any operation.Driving with under-inflated, flat orpunctured tyres can be dangerousand result in the tyre becomingirreparable.

This repair is temporaryA tyre which has been puncturedshould always be inspected (andrepaired, where possible) by aspecialist.Contact your RENAULT Dealer toreplace the inflation tube andrepair product bottle.

When driving, vibrationmay be felt due to thepresence of the repairproduct injected into thetyre.

Before replacement of a tyre whichhas been repaired using this kit,you must inform the specialist.The kit is only approved forinflating the tyres of the vehicleoriginally equipped with the kit. Itmust never be used to inflate thetyres of another vehicle, or anyother inflatable object (rubber ring,rubber boat, etc.).Avoid spillage on the skin whenhandling the repair liquid bottle. Ifdroplets do leak out, rinse them offwith plenty of water.Do not leave the repair kit withinthe reach of children.Do not dispose of the empty bottlein the countryside. Return it toyour RENAULT Dealer or to arecycling organisation.The bottle has a limited service lifewhich is indicated on its label.Check the expiry date regularly.

If the correct pressure is notreached, the tyre cannot berepaired; do not drive the vehicleand contact your RENAULTDealer.If the pressure is too high, pressbutton 11 to lower the pressure.

Once the tyre has been inflated tothe correct pressure, remove the kit:carefully undo adapter 10 so as notto release the product and screw thetyre inflation hose onto theunconnected bottle opening so thatthe product does not flow out;- affix the driving recommendation

label to the dashboard where it caneasily be seen by the driver;

- stow the kit under the driver's seatand secure it with the strap;

- start the vehicle as soon aspossible in order to distribute theproduct evenly through the tyre,and after driving for 6 miles (10km) or 10 minutes, stop thevehicle and check the tyrepressure again. To do this, fit theadapter 1 onto the tyre's valve.Adjust the pressure if it is notcorrect. If the pressure cannot beadjusted, the tyre cannot berepaired: contact a RENAULTdealer.

Precautions when using the kit- The kit should not be operated for

more than 15 consecutiveminutes;

- When driving, vibration may befelt due to the presence of therepair product injected into thetyre.

After using the tyrerepair kit, visit yourRENAULT Dealer as soonas possible. In addition,

reduce your speed and under nocircumstances exceed 48 mph(80 km/h). The sticker, whichyou must affix in a prominentposition on the dashboard,reminds you of this.

TYRESTyre 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 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 yourRENAULT Dealer.

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.

When the tyre tread has beeneroded to the level of the warningstrips, they become visible 2: it isthen necessary to replace your tyresbecause the tread profile is 1.6 mmdeep at most and this causes poorroad holding on wet roads.A loaded vehicle, long journeys bymotorway, particularly in very hotweather, or continual driving onpoorly surfaced minor roads willlead to more rapid tyre wear andaffect safety.

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.

NU698_7_G5-FRA.qxd 4/11/05 16:22 Page 5.12


5.12

TYRES (continued)

Tyre pressuresTyre pressures must be adhered to(including the spare wheel), theymust be checked at least once amonth and always before a longjourney (refer to the section on Tyrepressures at the beginning of thisdocument).

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 tyre pressure depends on theload and speed of use; adjust thepressures according to theconditions of use (refer to thesection on Tyre pressures at thebeginning of this document).

Pressures should be checked whenthe tyres are cold; ignore higherpressures which may be reached inhot weather or following a fastjourney.If tyre pressures cannot be checkedwhen the tyres are cold, assume anincrease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.

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.

Fitting new tyres

For safety reasons, thisoperation must 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.

- It may cause the steering to beheavy.

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

chains.

Changing wheels aroundThis practice is not recommended.

TYRES (continued)

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 sizeas those originally fittedto your vehicle.

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

• "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 themaximum speed of yourvehicle.

• Studded tyresThis type of equipment may onlybe used for a limited period andas laid 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 consult your RENAULTDealer who will be able to adviseyou on the most suitable choice ofequipment for your vehicle.

BATTERY: failureConnection/Disconnection• When you are connecting the

battery, connect the positiveterminal first, then the negative.

• When you are disconnecting thebattery, disconnect the negativeterminal first, then the positiveterminal.

• When connecting the terminals,take care to reposition themproperly.

To avoid all risk of sparks:- Ensure that any consumers are

switched off before disconnectingor reconnecting the battery.

- When charging, stop the chargerbefore connecting ordisconnecting the battery.

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

Connecting a battery chargerThe charger must be compatiblewith a battery with a nominalvoltage 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 andwell-maintained battery will have along and useful life and enable youto start the vehicle’s enginenormally.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 decreasesnaturally as a result of certainpermanent consumers such as:the clock, After-Sales accessoriesetc.

Handle the battery withcare as it containssulphuric acid whichmust not come into

contact with the eyes or skin. If itdoes, wash the affected area withplenty of cold water.Ensure that naked flames, redhot objects and sparks do notcome into contact with thebattery as there is a risk ofexplosion.

BATTERY: failure (continued)

Connecting a battery charger(continued)When many accessories are fitted tothe vehicle, have them connected to+ after ignition feed. In this case, itis 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,disconnect the battery or have itrecharged regularly, in particularduring cold weather. Theequipment with a memory, radioand trip computer and warningsystem will then have to bereprogrammed. The battery must bestored in a cool dry place, protectedfrom frost.

Special procedures may berequired to charge somebatteries. Consult yourRENAULT Dealer.

Avoid all risk of sparks which maycause an immediate explosion andcharge the battery in awell-ventilated area. Risk ofserious injury.

Starting the vehicle using thebattery from another vehicleProceed as follows when startingyour vehicle from another vehicle’sbattery:obtain the appropriate leads (largecross-section) from a RENAULTDealer, or if you already have jumpleads, check that they are in perfectcondition.

The two batteries must have anidentical voltage: 12 volts.

The battery supplying the currentshould have a capacity (amp-hours,Ah) which is at least the same asthat of the discharged battery.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.
