SERVICING AIR CON\bITIONER
WARNING:
The air conditioner system contains refrigerant
under high pressure. To avoid personal injury,
any air conditioner service should be done only
by an experienced technician with the proper
equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is charged
with a refrigerant designed with the environment in
mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. However, it may contri\fute in a small part to
glo\fal warming.
Special charging equipment and lu\fricant are required
when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner. Using
improper refrigerants or lu\fricants will cause severe
damage to the air conditioner system. (See “Air
conditioner system refrigerant and lu\fricant” (P.9-4) .)
A RENAULT dealer will \fe a\fle to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioner system.

The Stop/Start System is designed to prevent
unne\fessary fuel \fonsumption, e\bhaust emissions,
and noise during a journey:
.When the vehi\fle \fomes to rest the engine is
automati\fally stopped.
. The engine is then automati\fally restarted before
you are ready to drive away.
CAUTION:
At the end of the journey the engine must be
stopped and ignition switch be turned off. Lock
the vehicle as normal. Turning the ignition OFF
will shut down all electrical systems. Failure to
do this may result in a flat battery.
NORMAL OPERATION
The Stop/Start System stops the engine and will
automati\fally restart the engine. The Stop/Start
indi\fator light is shown in the meter.
The Stop/Start System will automati\fally stop
the engine when all the following \fonditions
are valid.
For MT model
.The shift lever is in Neutral position.
. The \flut\fh pedal is fully released.
. The vehi\fle speed is below about 2 km/h (1
MPH) .
. The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
. The Intelligent Key is in the vehi\fle.
. The driver’s door is \flosed.
For CVT model
. The sele\ftor lever is in the "D" (Drive) or "N"
(Neutral) position. .
The brake pedal is depressed.
. The vehi\fle is stopped.
. The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
. The driver’s door is \flosed.
NOTE:
The following conditions must also be satisfied
before the engine is automatically stopped. If
the engine does not stop this does not indicate a
malfunction in the system:
. The engine coolant temperature is at normal
operating levels.
. The vehicle has driven some distance since
engine start.
. The battery voltage and temperature are
within normal levels.
. The hood is closed.
. The steering wheel is not being turned.
. The system is not in front defogger mode.
(automatic air conditioner)
. The mode dial is not in front defogger mode.
(manual air conditioner)
. The rear window defogger is not operated.
NOTE:
The engine will not restart if the brake pedal is
released while the Stop/Start System is acti-
vated under the following condition:
. The selector lever is in the "P" (Park) position
(for CVT model) .
When the Stop/Start System indi\fator light is
displayed the engine starts running automa-
ti\fally under at least one of the following
\fonditions.
.The \flut\fh pedal is depressed (for MT model) .
. The brake pedal is released with the sele\ftor lever
in the "D"(Drive) or "N"(Neutral) position (for CVT
model) .
. The sele\ftor lever is pla\fed in the "L"(Low) ,
"D"(Drive) or "R"(Reverse) position from the "N"
or "P" position (for CVT model) .
. The driver’s seat belt is unfastened, or the driver’s
door is open (for CVT model) .
. The brake pedal is repeatedly pressed (to maintain
vehi\fle braking performan\fe) .
. The brake pedal is strongly depressed and then
released with the sele\ftor lever in the "P" (Park)
position, resulting in de\freased va\fuum pressure
of the brake booster (for CVT model) .
. The battery voltage be\fomes low (due to ele\ftri\fal
load from other vehi\fle systems like headlights,
heaters, et\f., or au\biliary devi\fes \fonne\fted to the
12 volt so\fket inside the vehi\fle) .
. The vehi\fle speed is above about 2 km/h (1
MPH) .
. The system is in front defogger mode. (automati\f
air \fonditioner)
. The mode dial is in front defogger mode. (manual
air \fonditioner)
. The rear window defogger is operated.
NOTE:
The following conditions will prevent the Stop/
Start System from automatically restarting the
engine. Starting the engine by the ignition
switch is then necessary:

Tires*:
Check the pressure with a gauge often and alwa\fs
prior to long distance trips. If necessar\f, ad\bust the
pressure in all tires, including the spare, to the
pressure specified. Check carefull\f for damage, cuts
or excessive wear.
Tire rotation*:
Tires should be rotated ever\f 10,000 km (6,000
miles) . However, the timing for tire rotation ma\f var\f
according to \four driving habits and the road surface
conditions.
Wheel alignment and balance (for Europe):
If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on
a straight and level road, or if \fou detect uneven or
abnormal tire wear, there ma\f be a need for wheel
alignment.
If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highwa\f
speeds, wheel balancing ma\f be needed.
Windshield:
Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the
windshield at least ever\f six months for cracks or other
damage. Have a damaged windshield repaired b\f a
qualified repair facilit\f.
Wiper blades*:
Check for cracks or wear if the\f do not wipe properl\f.
Inside vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be checked
on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic
maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.Accelerator pedal:
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure
that the pedal does not catch or require uneven effort.
Keep the floor mats awa\f from the pedal.
Brake pedal*:
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure
that it has the proper distance under it when
depressed full\f. Check the brake booster function.
Keep the floor mats awa\f from the pedal.
Parking brake*:
Check that the pedal/lever has the proper distance of
travel.
Seat belts:
Check that all parts of the seat belt s\fstem (for
example, buckles, anchors, ad\busters and retractors)
operate properl\f and smoothl\f, and that the\f are
installed securel\f. Check the belt webbing for cuts,
fra\fing, wear or damage.
Steering wheel:
Check for changes in the steering conditions, such as
excessive free pla\f, hard steering or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes:
Make sure that all warning lights and chimes are
operating properl\f.
Windshield defogger:
Check that the air comes out of the defogger outlets
properl\f and in good quantit\f when operating the
heater or air conditioner.
Windshield wiper and washer*:
Check that the wipers and washer operate properl\f
and that the wipers do not streak.
Under hood and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be checked
periodicall\f (for example, each time \fou check the
engine oil or refuel) .
Battery*:
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between
the UPPER and LOWER levels. Vehicles operated in
high temperatures or under severe conditions require
frequent checks of the batter\f fluid level.
Brake and clutch fluid level*:
Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid level is
between the MAX and MIN lines on the reservoir.
Engine coolant level*:
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belts*:
Make sure the drive belts are not fra\fed, worn, cracked
or oil\f.
Engine oil level*:
Check the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle
on a level surface and turning off the engine.
Fluid leaks:
Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid
leaks after the vehicle has been parked for a while.
Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If \fou should notice an\f leaks or if fuel fumes
are evident, check for the cause and have it corrected
immediatel\f.
