WARNING:
.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so
could damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not be
properly installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
. The child restraint top tether strap may be
damaged by contact with the tonneau board
(if equipped) or items in the luggage area.
Remove the tonneau board from the vehicle
or secure it and any luggage. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the top tether strap is damaged.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
ISOFIX
WARNING:
.Attach ISOFIX child restraints only at the
specified locations. For the ISOFIX lower
anchor locations, see “ISOFIX child restraint
system” (P.1-17) . If a child restraint is not
secured properly, your child could be ser-
iously injured or killed in an accident.
. Do not install child restraints that require the
use of a top tether strap to seating positions
that do not have a top tether anchor.
. Do not secure a child restraint in the center
rear seating position using the ISOFIX lower
anchors. The child restraint will not be
secured properly.
. Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your
fingers into the lower anchor area and
feeling to make sure there are no obstruc-
tions over the ISOFIX anchors, such as seat
belt webbing or seat cushion material. The
child restraint will not be secured properly if
the ISOFIX anchors are obstructed.
. Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstance are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so
could damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not be
properly installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.

SSS0300A
WARNING:
.Never install a rear-facing child restraint on
the front passenger’s seat when the front
passenger’s air bag is equipped. Supple-
mental front-impact air bags inflate with
great force. A rear-facing child restraint
could be struck by the supplemental front-
impact air bags in an accident and could
seriously injure or kill your child.
. Never install a child restraint system with a
top tether strap on the front seat.
. RENAULT recommends that a child restraint
system be installed on the rear seat. How-
ever, if you must install a front-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger’s
seat, move the passenger’ s seat to the
rearmost position.
. Child restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore must
not be used on the front passenger’s seat
when the front passenger’ s air bag isequipped.
Front-facing:
SSS0627
If \bou must \fnstall a front-fac\fng ch\fld restra\fnt s\bstem

1. Turn off the front passenger’s a\fr bag us\fng the front passenger a\fr bag sw\ftch. (See “Supple-
mental a\fr bag s\bstems” (P.1-29) .) Place the

CAUTION:
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is
loose, broken or missing.
Door open warning light (if e\fuipped)
\bhen the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
door open warning light illuminates if any of the doors
are open or not closed securely.
Electric power steering warning light
\bhen the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
electric power steering warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the electric power steering warning
light turns off. This indicates the electric power
steering system is operational.
If the electric power steering warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the electric
power steering system is not functioning properly and
may need servicing. Have the electric power steering
system checked by a RENAULT dealer.
\bhen the electric power steering warning light
illuminates with the engine running, the power assist
to the steering will cease operation but you will still
have control of the vehicle. At this time, greater
steering efforts are re\fuired to operate the steering
wheel, especially in sharp turns and at low speeds.
(See “Electric power steering system” (P.5-35) .)
Engine oil pressure warning light
\bhen the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
engine oil pressure warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the engine oil pressure warning
light turns off. This indicates that the oil pressure
sensors in the engine are operational.
If the engine oil pressure warning light illuminates or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate that
the engine oil pressure is low.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Stop the
engine immediately and call a RENAULT dealer.
CAUTION:
.Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light illuminated could
cause serious damage to the engine.
. The engine oil pressure warning light is not
designed to indicate a low oil level. The oil
level should be checked using the dipstick.
(See “Engine oil” (P.8-10) .)
High temperature warning light (red)
\bhen the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
high temperature warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates that the high temperature
sensor in the engine coolant system is operational.
CAUTION:
If the high temperature warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the
engine temperature is extremely high.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. If the vehicle is overheated, continuing vehicle
operation may seriously damage the engine.
(See “If your vehicle overheats” (P.6-10) for the
immediate action required.)
Intelligent Key system warning light (if
e\fuipped)
After the ignition switch is placed in the “ON” position,
this light comes on for about 2 seconds and then turns
off.
This light illuminates or blinks as follows:
. The light blinks in yellow when the door is closed
with the Intelligent Key left outside the vehicle and
the ignition switch in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
Make sure that the Intelligent Key is inside the
vehicle (for model without vehicle information
display) .
. The light blinks in green when the Intelligent Key
battery is running out of power. Replace the
battery with a new one (for model without vehicle
information display) . See “Battery” (P.8-23) .
. The light illuminates in yellow when it warns of a
malfunction with the electrical steering lock
system or the Intelligent Key system.
If the warning light illuminates in yellow while the
engine is stopped, it may be impossible to free the
steering lock or to start the engine. If the light comes
on while the engine is running, you can drive the
vehicle. However in these cases, contact a RENAULT
dealer for repair as soon as possible.
