Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances 
when driving on gravelled surfaces to 
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas 
where the paint has been damaged, to 
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your 
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the 
Maintenance Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechani-
cal components, hinges, etc., spray 
them with products approved by our 
Technical Department to protect them 
after they have been cleaned.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products 
to care for your vehicle and you can 
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to 
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper” 
in Section 1). Check the mounting of 
external accessories, additional lights 
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper 
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your 
vehicle is fitted with this equipment. 
Remember to remove the tape and refit 
the antenna after washing.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic 
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool 
to clean them. If this does not clean 
them properly, moisten the cloth with 
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft 
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry 
cloth.
Cleaning products  containing  alco-
hol must not  be used.
Vehicles with a matte paint 
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
–  use wax-based products (polishing);
–   rub hard;
–   wash the vehicle in a roller-type car 
wash;
–   wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
–   attach stickers to the paintwork (risk 
of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty 
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle 
sponge.

Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between 
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition. You 
must make sure that your tyres con- -
form to local road traffic regulations.When the tyre tread has been worn 
to the level of the warning strips, they 
become visible 
2: it is then neces-
sary to replace your tyres because the 
tread rubber is now only  1.6 mm deep 
at most, resulting in poor road hold-
ing on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys 
by motorway, particularly in very hot 
weather, or continual driving on poorly 
surfaced minor roads will lead to more 
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition 
and the tread form must have sufficient 
depth; tyres approved by our Technical 
Department have wear warning strips 
1  which are indicators moulded into 
the tread at several points.
TYRES (1/3)
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the 
same make, size, type and profile 
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and a speed capacity at 
least equal to the original tyres, 
or correspond to those recom-
mended by your authorised 
dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions 
could endanger your safety and 
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
Incidents which occur when 
driving, such as striking the 
kerb, may damage the tyres 
and wheel rims, and could 
also lead to misalignment of the 
front or rear axle geometry. In this 
case, have the condition of these 
checked by an approved dealer.

Operating faultsIf the battery is too weak to ensure cor-
rect operation, you can still start (insert 
the RENAULT card in the card reader) 
and lock/unlock the vehicle (refer to the 
information on "Locking/unlocking the 
doors" in Section 1).
RENAULT CARD: battery
Replacing the batteryWhen the message “KEYCARD 
BATTERY LOW” appears on the in-
strument panel, replace the RENAULT  
card battery, press button  1 pulling 
on emergency key 2 , then unclip the 
cover 3 using tab 4. 
Remove the battery by pressing on one 
side (movement  A) and by lifting the 
other (movement  B) then replace it, en-
suring the polarity and model, shown 
on cover 3 are respected.
Do not throw away your 
used batteries; give them to 
an organisation responsible 
for collecting and recycling 
batteries.

When refitting, proceed in the reverse 
order, then press one of the buttons on 
the card four times, close to the vehicle: 
the next time the vehicle is started, the 
message will disappear.
Note:  it is not advisable to touch the 
electronic circuit or contacts on the 
RENAULT card when replacing the bat-
tery.

Lower tab 3, by pressing on either 
side A.
Then push the blade forwards  B, to re-
lease hook  4.
To refit
To refit the wiper blade, proceed in re-
verse order to removal. Make sure that 
the blade is correctly locked in position.
For vehicles equipped with the auto-
matic windscreen wiper function, lift the 
windscreen wiper stalk fully: the front 
windscreen wiper blades will settle 
down onto the bonnet.
Replacing windscreen wiper 
blades 1
With the ignition on and the engine 
stopped:
–  for vehicles equipped with the au- tomatic windscreen wiper function, 
lower the windscreen wiper stalk 
fully: they stop slightly away from the 
bonnet;
–  lift the wiper arm 2;
– turn blade  1.

Check the condition of the wiper 
blades. You are responsible for their 
service life:
–  clean the blades, windscreen and 
rear screen regularly with soapy 
water;
–  do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
–  free them from the windscreen or  rear screen when they have not 
been used for a long time.
– In frosty weather, make 
sure that the wiper blades 
are not stuck by ice (to 
avoid the risk of the motor 
overheating).
–   Check the condition of the wiper 
blades.
They should be replaced as soon 
as they become less efficient: ap-
proximately once a year.
When changing the blade, when it 
has been removed, do not let the 
wiper arm fall against the window: 
risk of breaking the window.
