TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR (continued)
Non-interchangeability of wheels
To mark the correct position of the
wheel, see the colour of ring 2(after
cleaning, if necessary) on each
valve:
- A : yellow ring
- B : black ring
- C : red ring
- D : green ring
Fitting tyres(replacing tyres or fitting winter
tyres)
Since replacing tyres requires special
precautions, we advise you to consult
your RENAULT Dealer.
Each of the sensors
incorporated in the
valves 1is dedicated to a
single wheel: under no
circumstances should you swap
the wheels.
There is a risk of incorrect
information which could have
serious consequences.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (continued)Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stationary,
keeping your foot on the brake
pedal, move the lever to position P
(park): the gearbox is in neutral and
the drive wheels are mechanically
locked by the transmission.
Engage the handbrake.
Special circumstances
- If the bends and hills on the road
do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in the
mountains), we recommend that
you change to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic
transmission from changing gears
repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long
descents.
- To prevent the engine stalling in
cold weather, start the engine and
wait a few seconds before shifting
the selector lever from position P
or Nand engaging it in Dor R.
- Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of
adhesion, change to manual mode
and select second gear (or even
third) before starting the engine to
avoid wheelspin when starting.

TYRES (continued)
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 the tyre pressures cannot be
checked when the tyres are cold,
assume an increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar
(or 3 psi. ).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Note: a label (depending on country
or model) fixed to the edge or frame
of the driver’s door gives the
recommended tyre pressures.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures must be adhered to,
tyre pressures for all wheels
(including the spare wheel) must be
checked at least once a month and
always before a long journey (refer
to the information on Tyre
pressures).
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information relating to
the emergency spare wheel and
changing a wheel in Section 5.
Fitting new tyres
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre
wear and unusually hot
running, factors which
may seriously affect safety and
lead to:
- poor roadholding,
- the risk of blow-outs or of throwing a tread at high speed.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressures according to the
conditions of use (refer to the
information on Tyre pressures). Vehicles equipped with
the tyre pressure monitor
Each of the sensors fitted
in the valves is dedicated
to one particular wheel: the
wheels must therefore not be
swapped around.
There is a risk of incorrect
information which could have
serious consequences. For safety reasons, this
operation must 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 snow chains.

HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS: ACCESS
Access to the left-hand
headlight unit
With the engine switched off
Turn cover 1by one quarter of a turn
(in an anti-clockwise direction).
Access to the right-hand
headlight unit
With the engine switched off
Unclip cover 2.
In both cases, once the bulb has
been changed, ensure that covers 1
and 2 are correctly refitted.
The bulbs can be accessed by
removing blanking covers
1and 2
located in the wheel arches.
However, due to their reduced
accessibility (sometimes requiring
the removal of bodywork or
mechanical components), we advise
you to have your bulbs replaced by
your Renault Dealer .
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.
