Tyre safety and use of chains
Refer to the information on tyres in Section 5 for information on maintenance and, depending on the version, the
conditions under which snow chains may be fitted to the vehicle.
Special features of the 2.0 16V version
The tyres on this vehicle cannot be fitted with chains. If you wish to fit snow chains, you must usespecial equipment.
Consult your Renault Dealer.
(1)Vehicle with automatic transmission:add0.1 bar.
(2)Special note concerning vehicles used under full load(maximum permissible all-up weight)and towing a trailer:
Maximum speed must be limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure increased by0.2 bar(or3PSI).
Refer to the information on weights in Section 6 for more details.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING(continued)
General hints
•Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all
the electrical units which are not
really needed.
However,(with safety always in
mind), keep your lights on when
the visibility is bad (see and be
seen).
• Try to use the air vents. Driving at
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h)
with the windows open will
increase the use of fuel by 4%.•For vehicles fitted with air
conditioning,morefuelmaybe
used during urban driving; switch
off the system when it is not really
needed.
• Never fill the fuel tank up to the
brim to avoid it overflowing.
• Do not leave an empty roof rack in
position.
• Use a trailer for carrying bulky
objects.
• When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it properly.
• Avoid using the car for door to
door calls (short journeys with
long stops in between), as the
engine never reaches its ideal
temperature. Try to group your
calls.
Tyres
•Inflation pressures which are too
low may increase fuel
consumption.
• The use of non-recommended
tyres may also increase fuel
consumption.

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).Pressures should be checked when
the tyres are cold; ignore higher
pressures which may be reached in
hot weather or after driving at high
speeds.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres arecold,assume an
increase of0.2to0.3bar (3PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Note:a label (depending on country
or version) affixed to the edge or
frame of the driver's door gives the
recommended tyre 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.

WEIGHTS(continued)
(1)Towed weight
(Towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
- It is important that the towing weights in each country governed by local legislation are respected. Consult your Renault
Dealer for all towing attachments.In all cases, never exceed the maximum permissible total train weight (vehicle +
trailer).
- If your vehicle is already being used fully laden (maximum permitted all up weight); your maximum speed must be
limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre inflation pressures should be increased by 0.2 bar.
- Engine output and performance on hills are reduced with altitude. We recommend that you reduce the maximum load by
10% at an altitude of 1000 metres, then by an additional 10% for each 1000 metres thereafter.

WEIGHTS(continued)
(1)Towing weight
(towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
- It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular laid
down in the Road Traffic Regulations. Consult your Renault Dealer about any attachments.Under no circumstances may
the total train weight (= max. permissible all-up weight and weight towed) be exceeded.
- If your vehicle is already used at full load (max. permissible all-up weight), the maximum speed must be limited to
60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre inflation pressure increased by 0.2 bar.
- The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced
by 10% at an altitude of 1000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1000 metres thereafter.
