Système de surveillance de pression des pneumatiques (X91 - B91 - K91 - Renault)
ENG_NU_936-5_BK91_Renault_2
This system monitors the tyre pressure.
Information is displayed:
– with the ignition on, when scrolling
through the trip computer and warn-
ing system information by pressing
control 2 (refer to the information
on the “trip computer and warning
system” in Section 1);
– or if there is a fault when driving
(refer to the following page to find out
more about the warning messages).
Tyre pressure monitor
This function is an addi -
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig -
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
tyRe PReSSURe MoNItoR (1/3)
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure.
The system informs the driver via the
trip computer and warning system 1
that the tyres are sufficiently inflated
and warns if they are underinflated or
leaking.
t he tyre pressure can be adjusted
when cold (refer to the information on
“Tyre pressures”).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom -
mended pressures must be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.1

Changing a wheel
The system may take sev -
eral minutes depending on
use for the new wheel po -
sitions and pressures to be recog -
nised; check the tyre pressures after
all operations.

Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip -
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Contact an approved dealer to fit new
tyres and to find out about accessories
compatible with the system and avail -
able from manufacturer ’s accessory
outlets: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the
system or damage the system.
t yre repair products
Because the valves are specially de -
signed, only use products approved by
our Technical Department.

Special note:
The Tyre Pressure Monitor function
does not check the emergency spare
wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-
gency spare wheel disappears from the
instrument panel display).
Refer to the information on the “Tyre
pressure monitor” in Section 2.In the event of a puncture,
depending on the vehicle,
you will have:
An emergency spare wheel or tyre in -
flation kit (refer to the information on the
following pages).
emergency spare wheel
This is located in the luggage compart-
ment. To access it:
– open the tailgate;
– lift up the luggage compartment
carpet 1 and 2;
– unscrew the central mounting;
– remove the emergency spare wheel.
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is
safe to use.
Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than the four other\
wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with the same dimensions as the original.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed
indicated on the label on the wheel.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and
reduce your speed when cornering.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.

The tool kit is located in the luggage
compartment: lift the luggage compart-
ment carpet, remove the jack then un-
screw the central mounting. When refit-
ting, always clip the jack with flange B
facing downwards.
The tools included in the tool kit depend
on the vehicle.

Fold it and position retainer A correctly
before refitting it in its housing.
t owing hitch 2
Refer to the information on “Towing” in
Section 5.
Hubcap tool 3
This tool is used to remove the wheel
trims.
Wheelbrace 4
Allows the wheel bolts to be locked/un-
locked.

Locations are provided in the tool kit to
store these.
t OOL KIt/WHeeL trIM
Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come
loose under braking. After use, check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then position it correctly in its housing: there is a
risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, only use these bolts for the emergency
spare wheel: refer to the label affixed to the emergency spare wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. Under no circumstances
should it be used for carrying out repairs underneath the vehicle or to gain access
to the underside of the vehicle.

If you have a puncture, re -
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.
cHAnGInG A WHeeL (2/2)
Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency 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, checking that the wheel is
correctly positioned on its hub and un-
screw the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten
the bolts fully and check they are
tight as quickly as possible: tightening
torque 130 N.m (tightening torque for
rear wheel drive vehicles: 145 N.m).
