WARNING:
. Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused
by high-pressure fluid escaping from the
radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator
cool down.
. Engine coolant is poisonous and should be
stored carefully in marked containers out of
the reach of children.
The engine cooling system is fille\b \ft the f\fctory with \f
high-qu\flity, ye\fr-roun\b, \fnti-freeze cool\fnt solution.
The \fnti-freeze solution cont\fins rust \fn\b corrosion
inhibitors, therefore \f\b\bition\fl cooling system \f\b\bitives
\fre not necess\fry.
CAUTION:
. Never use any cooling system additives such
as radiator sealer. Additives may clog the
cooling system and cause damage to the
engine, transmission and/or cooling system.
. When adding or replacing coolant, be sure
to use only fluids approved by our technical
department with the proper mixture ratio.
Examples of the mixture ratio are shown
below:

It is n\bt necessary t\b replace the iridiu\f-tipped*Aspark plugs as frequently as the c\bnventi\bnal type \bf
spark plugs. These spark plugs are designed t\b last
\fuch l\bnger than the c\bnventi\bnal type \bf spark plug.
CAUTION:
.
Do not reuse the iridium-tipped spark plugs
by cleaning or re-gapping.
. Always replace with the recommended ir-
idium-tipped spark plugs.

the road surface conditions. (See “Flat tire\f (P.6-\b) for
the tire replacement.)
WARNING:
.After rotating the tires, adjust the tire
pressure.
. Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle
has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles)
(also in cases of a flat tire, etc.) .
. Incorrect tire selection, fitting, care or main-
tenance can affect vehicle safety with risk of
accident and injury. If in doubt, consult a
RENAULT dealer or the tire manufacturer.
TIRE WEAR AND DAMAGE
SDI1663
*1Wear indicator
*2Wear indicator location mark
Tires should be periodically inspected for wear,
cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If
excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are
found, the tire should be replaced immediately.
The original tires have a built-in tread wear indicator.
When the wear indicator is visible, the tire should be
replaced. Improper service of a spare tire may result in serious
personal injury. If it is necessary to repair the spare tire,
contact a RENAULT dealer.
TIRE AGE
Never use a tire over six years old, regardless of
whether it has been used or not.
Tires degrade with age as well as with the vehicle
usage. Have your tires checked and balanced often by
a repair shop or, if you prefer, a RENAULT dealer.
CHANGING TIRES AND WHEELS
WARNING:
Do not install a deformed wheel or tire even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels or tires could
have structural damage and could fail without
warning.
When replacing a tire, use the same size, speed rating
and load carrying capacity as originally equipped. (See
“Tires and wheels\f (P.9-6) for recommended types and
sizes of tires and wheels.) The use of tires other than
those recommended or the mixed use of tires of
different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted, or
radial) , or tread patterns can adversely affect the ride,
braking, handling, ground clearance, body-to-tire
clearance, snow chain clearance, speedometer cali-
bration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some of
these effects may lead to accidents and could result in
serious personal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason, always
replace with wheels which have the same offset
dimension. Wheels of a different offset could cause
early tire wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling
characteristics and/or interference with the brake
discs/drums. Such interference can lead to decreased
braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear.
WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and
tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out of
balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
SPARE TIRE
Conventional spare tire
A standard tire (the same size as the road wheels) is
supplied with your vehicle.
Temporary-use (T-type) spare tire (if
equipped)
SDI191\bSpare tire label (if equipped)Observe the following precautions if the T-type spare
tire must be used, otherwise your vehicle could be
damaged or involved in an accident.
CAUTION:
.
The T-type spare tire should be used only for
emergency. It should be replaced by the
standard tire at the first opportunity.
