not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in the
highest gear or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.
After 625 miles(1,000 km), you may
drive your car normally, but it is
only after 1,500 miles (3,000 km)

Warranty and Servicing booklet.
Diesel version
For the first750 miles(1,500 km), do
not exceed 2,500 rpm. On completion
of this mileage you may drive faster,
but the vehicle will only provide top
performance after approximately
4,000 miles (6,000 km).
During the running in period, do not
accelerate hard while the engine is
still cold and do not let the engine
rev too high.
Service intervals:refer to the vehicle’s

TYRES(continued)
Tyre inflation pressures
Tyre inflation pressures must be
adhered to. (Remember to check the
emergency spare wheel at the same
time.) Inflation pressures must be
checked at least once a month and
always before a long journey. (Refer
to the section on “Tyre inflation
pressures”.)
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre
wear and unusually hot
running. Factors which may
seriously affect safety and lead
to:
- poor roadholding
- possibility of blow-outs or of
throwingatreadathighspeed.
Inflation pressures depend on
the load and the driving speed.
Adjust the pressures according
to the conditions of use. (Refer to
the section on tyre inflation
pressures.)Inflation pressures should be
checked when the tyres are cold;
ignore higher pressures which may
be reached in hot weather or
following a fast journey. If tyre
inflation pressures cannot be
checked when the tyres arecold,
take into account an increase of0.2
to0.3bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Note:A label (depending on country
or version) stuck on the edge or
frame of the driver’s door gives the
recommended tyre inflation
pressures.
Replacing tyres
For safety reasons, this
operation must only be
carried out by a
specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
- It may mean that your vehicle
no longer conforms to current
regulations.
- It may change the way it
handles when cornering.
- It may cause the steering to be
heavy.
- It may cause tyre noise.
- It may affect the use of chains.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
emergency spare wheel and
instructions on how to change a
wheel in section 5.

TOWING breakdown
The steering lock must not be
applied; the ignition key must be in
position “M” (ignition) allowing
lights and signals to be used (stop
lights and direction indicators).
The vehicle lights must be used at
night.
It is also important to observe the
towing conditions defined by the
legislation for the particular country
you are in. Do not exceed the towing
weight for your vehicle. Consult
your Renault Dealer.Only use the towing ring2(in the
tool kit1) and the towing points at
the front3and rear4. (Never use
the drive shafts.) These towing
points may only be used for pulling
the vehicle, never for lifting it either
directly or indirectly.Front towing point3
Rear towing point4
Unclip the cover5.
First screw in the towing
ring2by hand as far as it
will go. Then use the
wheelbrace from the tool
kit to finish tightening it.
