On the open road CAUSES REMEDIAL ACTION
• Steering becomes hard to turn. Belt broken. Have the belt replaced.
Lack of oil in pump. Top up oil (see maintenance section).
If the fault persists, consult your
Renault Dealer.
• The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature warning light illuminates
(or the needle on the gauge is in the
red zone).Water pump: belt slack or broken.
Faulty engine cooling fan.Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine
and call for the assistance of a Renault
Dealer.
Coolant leaks. Check the condition of the hoses and
clips.
Check the expansion bottle: it should
contain coolant. If it does not, top up
the level (after letting the engine cool
down). Take care not to burn yourself.
This action is only temporary: consult
your Renault Dealer as soon as
possible.
Radiator
Never fill a hot radiator with cold coolant if a considerable quantity has been lost. After any operation
on the vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling system, it must be refilled with a
new mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Reminder: only products approved by our Technical
Department may be used for this purpose.
