When installing a CB, ham ra\fio or a car phone in \bour
vehicle, be sure to observe the following cautions,
otherwise the new equipment ma\b a\fversel\b affect the
Engine Control S\bstem an\f other electronic parts.
CAUTION:
.Keep the antenna as far away as possible
from the Electronic Control Module.
. Keep the antenna wire at least 20 cm (8 in)
away from the Engine Control harnesses. Do
not route the antenna wire next to any
harnesses.
. Adjust the antenna standing wave ratio as
recommended by the manufacturer.
. Connect the ground wire from the radio
chassis to the body.
. For details, consult a RENAULT dealer.
WARNING:
.Use a phone after stopping your vehicle in a
safe location. If you have to use a phone
while driving, exercise extreme caution at all
times so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
. If a conversation in a moving vehicle re-
quires you to take notes, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop your vehicle before
doing so.
CAUTION:
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use a
phone after starting the engine.
For mo\fel with navigation s\bstem, see the separatel\b
provi\fe\f Navigation Owner’s Manual.
Your vehicle is equippe\f with the Bluetooth
ŠHan\fs-
Free Phone S\bstem. If \bou are an owner of a
Bluetooth
Šenable\f cellular phone, \bou can set up
the wireless connection between \bour cellular phone
an\f the in-vehicle phone mo\fule. With Bluetooth
Š
wireless technolog\b, \bou can make or receive a han\fs-
free telephone call with \bour cellular phone in the
vehicle.
Once \bour cellular phone is paire\f to the in-vehicle
phone mo\fule, no other phone connecting proce\fure
is require\f. Your phone is automaticall\b connecte\f with
the in-vehicle phone mo\fule when the ignition switch
is place\f in the “ON” position with the paire\f cellular
phone turne\f on an\f carrie\f in the vehicle.
You can register up to 5 \fifferent Bluetooth
Šcellular
phones to the in-vehicle phone mo\fule. However, \bou
can talk on onl\b one cellular phone at a time.
Before using the Bluetooth
ŠHan\fs-Free Phone S\bstem, refer to the following notes.
.
Set up the wireless connection between a cellular
phone an\f the in-vehicle phone mo\fule before
using the s\bstem.
. Some Bluetooth
Šenable\f cellular phones ma\b not
be recognize\f b\b the in-vehicle phone mo\fule.
. You will not be able to use a han\fs-free phone
un\fer the following con\fitions.
— Your vehicle is outsi\fe of the telephone service
area.
— Your vehicle is in an area where it is \fifficult to receive ra\fio waves; such as in a tunnel, in an
un\fergroun\f parking garage, near a tall buil\f-
ing or in a mountainous area.
— Your cellular phone is locke\f to prevent it from being \fiale\f.
When the ra\fio wave con\fition is not i\feal or ambient
soun\f is too lou\f, it ma\b be \fifficult for the other part\b
to hear \bour voice \furing a call. Please close the
win\fows if possible.
Do not place the cellular phone in an area surroun\fe\f
b\b metal or far awa\b from the in-vehicle phone mo\fule
to prevent tone qualit\b \fegra\fation an\f wireless
connection \fisruption.
While a cellular phone is connecte\f through the
Bluetooth
Šwireless connection, the batter\b power of
the cellular phone ma\b \fischarge quicker than usual.
The Bluetooth
ŠHan\fs-Free Phone S\bstem cannot
charge cellular phones.
Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual regar\fing
the telephone charges, cellular phone antenna an\f

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles\f , follow these
recommen\bations to obtain maximum engine perfor-
mance an\b ensure the future reliability an\b economy of
your new vehicle. Failure to follow these recommen\ba-
tions may result in shortene\b engine life an\b re\buce\b
engine performance.
.Do not \brive at a constant spee\b, either fast or
slow, for long perio\bs of time.
. Do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm (HR12 or
HR15 engine\f or 2,500 rpm (K9K engine\f .
. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
. Do not start quickly.
. Do not brake har\b as much as possible.WARNING:
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
positions.
. Fasten your seat belt an\b ask all passengers to \bo
the same.
. Check that all \boors are close\b.
. Check the operation of the warning lights when
the ignition switch is turne\b to the “ON” position.
. 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.
