METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operating faults
Warning light 4 å will light up on 
the instrument panel when the ignition 
is turned on and then go out after a few 
seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition 
is switched on, or comes on when the 
engine is running, there is a fault in the 
system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon 
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

Operation
This system is only operational when 
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags 
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact 
of the driver’s head and chest against 
the steering wheel and of the front pas-
senger against the dashboard. The air 
bags then deflate immediately so that 
the passengers are not in any way hin-
dered from leaving the vehicle.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event 
of a puncture, use the kit located in the 
boot or underneath the luggage com-
partment carpet.
With the engine running and the 
parking brake applied,
–  unroll the hose from the container;
–  connect the compressor hose 3 to 
the container’s inlet  8;
–  depending on the vehicle, connect  the container  8 to the compressor 
from the container recess  7; 
–  unscrew the valve cap on the rel- evant wheel and screw on the con-
tainer’s inflation adapter  1;
– adapter  2 must be connected to the 
vehicle accessories socket;
– press switch  4 to inflate the tyre to 
the recommended pressure (please 
refer to the information in the section 
on “Tyre pressure”);

Before using this kit, park 
the vehicle at a sufficient 
distance from traffic, switch 
on the hazard warning 
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all 
passengers to leave the vehicle and 
keep them away from traffic.
8
If the vehicle is parked on 
the hard shoulder, you must 
warn other road users of 
your vehicle’s presence 
with a warning triangle or with other 
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
–  after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop  inflating and read the pressure (on 
pressure gauge  5).
Note: while the container is empty-
ing (approximately 30 seconds), the 
pressure gauge  5 will briefly indicate 
a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pres-
sure will then drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase  it, continue inflation with the kit; to 
reduce it, press button 6.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is 
not reached after 15 minutes, repair 
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.

5.14
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure 
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light 
 on 
the instrument panel comes on. See 
“Tyre pressure loss warning” in 
Section 2.
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, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
TYRES (2/3)
Please be aware that a 
poorly tightened or miss-
ing 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,
–  risk of bursting or tread separa- tion.
The pressure depends on the load 
and the speed of use. Adjust the 
pressure according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the label affixed 
to the edge of the driver’s door).
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including 
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre 
pressures should be checked at least 
once a month and additionally before 
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

OPERATING FAULTS (1/6)
The following advice will enable you to carry out quick, temporary repai\
rs. For safety reasons you should always contact 
an approved Dealer as soon as possible.
Using the RENAULT cardPOSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
The RENAULT card does not lock or 
unlock the doors. Card battery is flat.
Replace the battery. You can still lock/
unlock and start your vehicle (refer to the in-
formation on “Locking, unlocking the open-
ing elements” in Section 1 and “Starting, 
stopping the engine” in Section 2).
Use of appliances operating on the 
same frequency as the card (mobile 
phone, etc.). Stop using the equipment or use the in-
tegrated key (refer to the information on 
“Locking, unlocking the opening elements” 
in Section 1).
Vehicle located in a high electromag-
netic radiation zone.
Vehicle battery flat. Use the key integrated in the card (refer to 
the information on “Locking, unlocking the 
opening elements” in Section 1).
The vehicle is started. With the engine running, the card’s locking/
unlocking device is blocked. Turn off the ig-
nition.
