TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
This system continuously monitors
the tyre pressures.
Tyre pressures should be adjusted
when the tyres are cold.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres arecold,assumean
increase of0.2to0.3bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
This function is an
additional driving aid.
However, the function
does not take the place of
the driver. It cannot, therefore,
under any circumstances replace
the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
Check the tyre pressures,
including the emergency spare
wheel, once a month.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor,
implanted in the inflation valve
which periodically measures the
tyre pressure.
The driver is constantly informed of
the correct tyre pressures and
possible variations on displayA
and the instrument panel.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM(continued)
Non-interchangeability of
wheels
Each of the sensors
integrated in the valve1
is devoted to a single
wheel: under no
circumstances should you swap
the wheels.
There is a risk of false
information leading to serious
consequences.To mark the correct position of the
wheel, see the colour of the ring2
(after cleaning, if necessary) on each
valve:
-C: yellow ring
-D:blackring
-E:redring
-F:greenring
Fitting tyres
(replacing tyres or fitting winter
tyres)
As there are special precautions to
be taken when replacing tyres, we
advise you to consult your Renault
Dealer.
Reading the tyre pressures on
the instrument panel
(if fitted)
Once the car's tyre pressures have
been checked, warning messages on
the instrument panel are updated
once you exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
Commercially available pressure
gauges will show variances in their
measurement of pressure (known as
tolerance).

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM(continued)
Spare wheel
The emergency spare wheel does
not have a sensor and is thus not
detected by the system.
When it is fitted in the place of
another wheel, the system detects a
fault.
Replacing wheels / rims...
This system requires special
equipment (wheels, hubcaps...).
Consult your Renault Dealer to find
out which accessories are
compatible with the system and
which are available from Renault
accessory outlets: use of any other
accessory may impair the operation
of the system.
Tyre repair aerosols
Asaresultofthespecialwheels,
only products approved by
Renault's Technical Department
may be used.
Display

lights on the instrument panel

Examples of illumination of warning lights on the instrument panel and display
flashing + lit up + faulty wheel(s) flashing
Meaning: the flashing wheel is slightly flat or over-inflated, check the tyre pressures.
flashing + lit up + faulty wheel(s) flashing
Meaning: the flashing wheel is very flat, stop as soon as possible and check the tyre pressures.
flashing + lit up + lit up + faulty wheel(s) flashing
Meaning: puncture, replace the wheel concerned or call your Renault Dealer.
lit up + faulty wheel(s) not lit up
Meaning: system fault (if, for example, the emergency spare wheel is fitted or winter tyres are fitted...).
lit up
Meaning: driving speed is not suited to the tyre pressures. Slow down or inflate the tyres to the full load pressure (see
the “tyre pressures” table.
