> (GLW    0RGHO .$2(0B5HQDXOW @
Low fuel warning light (if equipped)
\fhe low fuel warning light illuminates when the fuel
level in the tan\b is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, before the fuel gauge reaches the empty
(0) position. \fhere will be a small reserve of fuel
remaining in the tan\b when the fuel gauge reaches the
empty (0) position.
Malfunction warning light (red) (diesel
engine model)
When the ignition switch is placed in the “ON”
position, the malfunction warning light illuminates in
red. \fhis means that the system is operational. After
starting the engine, the warning light turns off.
For the orange Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) , see
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” (P.2-17)for details.
If the malfunction warning light (red) illuminates
continuously while the engine is running, it may
indicate an engine control system malfunction. Have
your vehicle inspected by a RENAUL\f dealer. You do
not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION:
Continuing vehicle operation without proper
servicing of the engine control system could
lead to poor driveability, reduced fuel economy,
and damage to the engine control system, which
may affect the vehicle’s warranty coverage.
Master warning light (if equipped)
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
master warning light illuminates if any of the following
are displayed on the vehicle information display.
. Seat belt warning
. NO KEY warning
. Low fuel warning
. Par\bing bra\be release warning
. Door/bac\b door open warning
(See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-20) .)
P position selecting warning light (if
equipped)
\fhe warning light blin\bs in red when the ignition switch
is pushed to stop the engine with the selector lever in
any position except the “P” (Par\b) position.
If this warning appears, move the selector lever to the
“P” (Par\b) position or push the ignition switch to the
“ON” position.
An inside warning chime will also sound.
See “Intelligent Key system” (P.3-9) .
Seat belt warning light (if equipped)
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
seat belt warning light illuminates. \fhe light will

When the vehicle speed exceeds 15 \bm/h (10 MPH) ,
the light will blin\b unless the driver’s seat belt is
securely fastened.
Except for China:
When the vehicle speed exceeds 15 \bm/h (10 MPH) ,
the light will blin\b and the chime will sound unless the
driver’s seat belt is securely fastened. \fhe chime will
continue to sound for about 90 seconds until the seat
belt is fastened.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
air bag warning light (if equipped)
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “S\fAR\f”
position, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air
bag warning light illuminates for about 7 seconds and
then turns off. \fhis indicates that the SRS air bag
system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the SRS air
bag system and/or pre-tensioner seat belt need
servicing. Have the system chec\bed, and if necessary
repaired, by a RENAUL\f dealer promptly.
. \fhe SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated
after about 7 seconds.
. \fhe SRS air bag warning light flashes intermit-
tently.
. \fhe SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate
at all.
Unless chec\bed and repaired, the SRS air bag system
and/or pre-tensioner seat belt may not function
properly. (See “Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS)” (P.1-25) .)
