tYreS (2/3)
t yre pressures
Tyre pressures must be adhered to (in-
cluding the emergency spare wheel).
Pressures must be checked at least
once a month and always before a
long journey (refer to the information on
“Tyre pressures”). Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are
cold, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
never deflate a hot tyre.
note: a label (depending on country or
model) fixed to the edge or frame of the
driver’s door gives the recommended
tyre pressures.
Fitting new tyres
changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in -
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
– it may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
– it may change the way it handles
when cornering;
– it may cause the steering to be
heavy;
– it may affect the use of snow
chains.
Please be aware that a
missing valve cap can
make the tyres less airtight
and lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding;
– the risk of blow-outs or of throw-
ing a tread.
Tyre pressures depend on the load
and the driving speed. Adjust the
pressures according to the condi -
tions of use. (Refer to the informa -
tion on “Tyre pressures”).

Fuses
Fuse box
If electrical equipment does not work,
check the condition of the fuses.
Depending on the vehicle, open cover 1
to the left of the steering wheel or glove -
box 2. To locate the fuses, use the fuel
allocation label (covered in the pages
that follow).
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.
FuSeS (1/3)
In accordance with local legislation
or as a precautionary measure:
Obtain an emergency kit containing
a set of spare bulbs and fuses from
an approved dealer.
clip 3
Remove the fuse using tweezers 3, lo-
cated on the back of cover 1 or in glove
box 2.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers,
slide the fuse to the side.

Check the fuse in question
and replace it, if necessary,
with a fuse of the same
rating.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is
too high, it may cause the electrical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the
event of an item of equipment using
an excessive amount of current.

Towing (breakdown – attachments)
tOWIng: breakdown
the steering wheel must be un -
locked and the ignition key must be
in the “Ignition on” position to pro -
vide signals (brake lights and direc-
tion indicators) on the towed vehi -
cle. At night the vehicle must have
its lights on.
You must observe the towing regu -
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer. u
se only the towing points at the
front 2 and rear 5 (never use the drive
shafts). These towing points may only
be used for pulling the vehicle, never
for lifting it either directly or indirectly.Access to front towing
point 2
Unclip cover 4.
Screw in towing hitch 3 fully: firstly
by hand, then finish by tightening it with
the wheelbrace.
The towing hitch 3 and wheelbrace are
located in the tool kit 1.

ing assistance are not op -

– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking
suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad -
visable not to exceed 15 mph
(25 km/h).
