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) .)

Co\fpact Disc with MP3 or WMA (if
equipped)
Explanation of terms:
. MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Experts
Group Audio Layer 3\b MP3 is the \fost well known
co\fpressed digital audio file for\fat\b This for\fat
allows for near “CD quality” sound, but at a
fraction of the size of nor\fal audio files\b MP3
conversion of an audio track fro\f CD can reduce
the file size by approxi\fately 10:1 ratio (Sa\fpling:
44\b1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually no
perceptible loss in quality\b MP3 co\fpression
re\foves the redundant and irrelevant parts of a
sound signal that the hu\fan ear doesn’t hear\b
. WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a
co\fpressed audio for\fat created by Microsoft as
an alternative to MP3\b The WMA codec offers
greater file co\fpression than the MP3 codec,
enabling storage of \fore digital audio tracks in the
sa\fe a\fount of space when co\fpared to MP3s at the sa\fe level of quality\b
. Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the nu\fber of bits per
second used by a digital \fusic files\b The size and
quality of a co\fpressed digital audio file is
deter\fined by the bit rate used when encoding
the file\b
. Sa\fpling frequency — The rate at which the
sa\fples of a signal are converted fro\f analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second\b
. Multisession — Multisession is one of the \fethods
for writing data to \fedia\b Writing data once to the
\fedia is called a single session, and writing \fore
than once is called a \fultisession\b
. ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the part of
the encoded MP3 or WMA file that contains
infor\fation about the digital \fusic file such as
song title, artist, albu\f title, encoding bit rate,
track ti\fe duration, etc\b ID3 tag infor\fation is

The driving characteristics of your vehicle will
change remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution, as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer coupling, roof racks, etc.) .
Your driving style and speed must be adjusted
according to the circumstances. Especially when
carrying heavy loads, your speed must be
reduced adequately.
.Make sure the area aroun\b the vehicle is clear.
. Visually inspect tires for their appearance an\b
con\bition. Measure an\b check the tire pressure for
proper inflation.
. Check that all win\bows an\b lights are clean.
. A\bjust the seat an\b hea\b restraint positions.
. A\bjust the insi\be an\b outsi\be rearview mirror

. Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance an\b \bo-
it-yourself” section shoul\b be checke\b perio\bi-
cally.
WARNING:
.Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and
injure themselves. On hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal illness to people or
animals.
. Properly secure all luggage to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place lug-
gage higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden
stop or collision, unsecured luggage could
cause personal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxi\be\f
WARNING:
.Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all windows
fully open, and have the vehicle inspected
immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed spaces such
as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for an extended period of time.

5-4Starting and driving
.Keep the back door closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gas could be drawn into
the passenger compartment. If you must
drive with the back door open, follow these
precautions:
— Open all the windows.
— Turn the air recirculation mode off and
set the fan speed control to the highest
level to circulate the air.
. If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions must pass to a trailer through the seal
of the back door or the body, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
. If a special body or other equipment is
added for recreational or other usage, follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation to pre-
vent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may
also generate carbon monoxide.)
. The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever:
— Your vehicle is raised while being ser-
viced.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident involving damage to the exhaust system, under-
body, or rear of the vehicle.THREE-WAY CATALYST (gaso\fine engine
\bode\f)
WARNING:
. The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are
very hot. Keep people, animals and flam-
mable materials away from the exhaust
system components.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
wastepaper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.
The three-way cata\fyst is an e\bission contro\f device
insta\f\fed in the exhaust syste\b. Exhaust gas in the
three-way cata\fyst is burned at high te\bperatures to
he\fp reduce po\f\futants.
CAUTION:
. Do not use leaded gasoline. (See “Recom-
mended fuel/lubricants and capacities” (P.9-
2) .) Deposits from leaded gasoline seriously
reduce the ability of the three-way catalyst
to help reduce exhaust pollutants and/or
damage the three-way catalyst.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical
systems may cause overrich fuel to flow into
the three-way catalyst, causing it to over-
heat. Do not keep driving if the engine
misfires, or if noticeable loss of performance
or other unusual operating conditions are
detected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly by a RENAULT dealer.
. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the three-way
catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warming it up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the
engine.
