LEVELS (continued)
Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even
the slightest loss in braking
efficiency.
Level 1
The level normally goes down at the
same time as the brake shoe wear,
but, it must never go below the MIN
warning level.
Due to the fact that it is difficult to
access, we recommend that you
have it checked and if necessary,
have the brake fluid level topped up
by a specialist. Filling
After any operation on the hydraulic
circuit, a specialist must replace the
brake fluid.
Only use fluids approved by
RENAULT’s Technical Department
(and taken from a sealed container).
Replacement interval
Refer to the Warranty and Services
booklet for your vehicle.
Take care when working in
the engine compartment as
the engine cooling fan may
start to operate at any
moment without warning.
Risk of injury.

CHANGING A WHEEL
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Undo the wheel bolts with
wheelbrace 1. Position it so that you
can push it from above.
Fit the jack 3horizontally; the jack
head must be fitted at the height of
the bodywork support 2closest to
the wheel concerned, marked by an
arrow 4.
Crank up the jack by hand at first to
align the base plate (which should
be inclined further inwards under
the car). Turn a few times to lift the wheel off
the ground.
Undo the bolts and take off the
wheel.
Fit the spare wheel on the central
hub and turn it to locate the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
If bolts are supplied with the
emergency spare wheel, only use
these bolts for the emergency spare
wheel. Tighten the bolts and lower
the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, fully
tighten the bolts and check they are
correctly tightened as quickly as
possible (tightening torque 110 Nm).
If you have a puncture,
replace the wheel as soon
as possible.
A tyre which has been
punctured should always be
inspected (and repaired, where
possible) by a specialist.
Park the car on firm, level
ground which is not slippery
(e.g. avoid tiled flooring,
etc.) - if necessary, place a
plank of wood under the jack for
support. Switch on the hazard
warning lights.
Apply the hand brake and engage a
gear (first or reverse, or Pfor
automatic transmission).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.

TYRES
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have
sufficient depth; tyres approved by
Renault’s Technical Department
have wear warning strips 1in the
form of indicators moulded into the
tread at several points.
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact
between the vehicle and the road, so
it is essential to keep them in good
condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road regulations. When the tyre tread has been eroded
to the level of the warning strips,
they become visible
2: it is then
necessary to replace your tyres
because the tread rubber is only 1.6
mm deep at the most and this
causes poor road holding on wet
roads .
An overloaded vehicle, long
journeys by motorway, particularly
in very hot weather, or continual
driving on poorly surfaced minor
roads will lead to more rapid tyre
wear and affect safety.
When they need to be
replaced, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or be of a type
recommended by your RENAULT
Dealer. Incidents which occur
when driving, such as
striking the kerb, may
damage the tyres and
wheel rims, and could also lead
to misalignment of the front or
rear axle geometry. If such
incidents occur, have the
condition of these parts checked
by a RENAULT Dealer.
