WARNING
If the 4WD mode indicator (see “Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) warning light (4WD model)” later in this
section) is OFF or the ATP warning light is ON,
this indicates that the automatic transmission P
(Park) position will not function and could result
in the vehicle moving unexpectedly, causing seri-
ous personal injury or property damage. Always
set the parking brake. Brake warning light
WARNING
• If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive
the vehicle until the brake system has been
checked by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop.
• Even if you judge it to be safe, have your ve-
hicle towed because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
• Depressing the brake pedal without the en-
gine running and/or with
alow brake fluid
level could increase the stopping distance and
require greater pedal travel distance and ef-
fort.
The brake warning light indicates the parking brake
system operation, alow brake fluid level of the brake
system and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) mal-
function. Parking brake warning indicator:
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the brake warning light illuminates. When the
engine is started and the parking brake is released,
the brake warning light turns off.
If the parking brake is not fully released, the brake
warning light remains on. Be sure that the brake
warning light has turned off before driving. (See
“Parking brake” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.)
Low brake fluid warning indicator:
If the brake warning light illuminates while the en-
gine is running, or while driving, and the parking
brake is released, it may indicate the brake fluid
level is low.
When the brake warning light illuminates while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the brake fluid level. If
the brake fluid level is at the minimum mark, add
brake fluid as necessary. (See “Brake fluid” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.)
If the brake fluid level is sufficient, have the brake
system checked by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop promptly.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator (where fitted):
When the parking brake is released and the brake
fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake warning light
and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
light illuminate, it may indicate the ABS is not func-
tioning properly. Have the brake system checked, and if necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop promptly. (See “Brake system”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.) Charge warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
charge warning light illuminates. After starting the
engine, the charge warning light turns off. This indi-
cates that the charging system is operational.
If the charge warning light illuminates while the en-
gine is running, or while driving, it may indicate that
the charging system is not functioning properly and
may need servicing.
When the charge warning light illuminates while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the alternator belt. If the
alternator belt is loose, broken or missing, contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
(See “Drive belt” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.)
If the alternator belt appears to be functioning cor-
rectly but the charge warning light remains illumi-
nated, have the charging system checked by an
approved dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is
loose, broken or missing.

•
When
aspare tyre is mounted or
awheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
low tyre pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1minute. The light will remain
on after 1minute. Contact an approved dealer
or qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre replacement and/or system resetting.
• Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by RENAULT could affect the proper op-
eration of the TPMS.
CAUTION
• The TPMS is not
asubstitute for the regular
tyre pressure check. Be sure to check the tyre
pressure regularly.
• If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less
than 25 km/h (16 MPH), the TPMS may not
operate correctly.
• Be sure to install the specified size of tyres to
all four wheels correctly. Low washer fluid warning light
(where fitted)
The low washer fluid warning light illuminates when
the washer fluid in the reservoir is at alow level. Add
washer fluid as necessary. (See “Window washer
fluid” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion.) Malfunction warning light (red)
(where fitted)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the malfunction warning light illuminates in red.
This means that the system is operational. After
starting the engine, the warning light turns off.
For the orange Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL),
see “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” later in this
section for details.
If the malfunction warning light (red) illuminates con-
tinuously while the engine is running, it may indicate
an engine control system malfunction. Have your
vehicle inspected by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continuing vehicle operation without proper ser-
vicing of the engine control system could lead to
poor driveability, reduced fuel economy, and
damage to the engine control system, which may
affect the vehicle’s warranty coverage. Master warning light (where
fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
master warning light illuminates if any of the follow-
ing are displayed on the vehicle information display.

•
Your vehicle is fitted with an automatic en-
gine cooling fan. It may come on at any time
without warning, even if the ignition switch is
in the OFF position and the engine is not run-
ning. To avoid injury, always disconnect the
negative battery cable before working near
the fan.
• Always wear eye protection whenever you
work on your vehicle.
• Never leave the engine or the transmission
related component harness connector
disconnected while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
• Avoid direct contact with used engine oil and
coolant. Improperly disposed engine oil, en-
gine coolant, and/or other vehicle fluids can
hurt the environment. Always conform to lo-
cal regulations for disposal of vehicle fluids.
This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section
provides instructions regarding only those items
which are relatively easy for an owner to perform.
You should be aware that incomplete or improper
servicing may result in operating difficulties or ex-
cessive emissions, and could affect your warranty
coverage. If in doubt about any servicing, have it
done by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop. For an overview of the engine compartment, see
“Engine compartment” in the “0. Illustrated table
of contents” section. WARNING
• Never remove the radiator or coolant reser-
voir cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high-pressure fluid es-
caping 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 filled at the factory
with ahigh-quality, year-round, anti-freeze coolant
solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and
corrosion inhibitors, therefore additional cooling sys-
tem additives are not necessary.
CAUTION
• Never use any cooling system additives such
as radiator sealer. Additives may clog the
cooling system and cause damage to the en-
gine, transmission and/or cooling system.
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to
use the proper mixture ratio. Examples of the
mixture ratio of coolant and water are shown
in the following table: Outside
temperature

Engine coolant
(concentrated) Demineralised
or distilled water

9. Recheck the oil level with the dipstick.
CAUTION
• The oil level should be checked regularly. Op-
erating your vehicle with an insufficient
amount of oil can damage the engine, and
such damage is not covered by the warranty.
• It is normal to add some oil between oil main-
tenance intervals or during the running-in pe-
riod, depending on the severity of operating
conditions.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND OIL
FILTER
Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop
when the engine oil and oil filter require replace-
ment.
PROTECT ENVIRONMENT
It is illegal to pollute drains, watercourses and soil.
Use authorised waste collection facilities, including
civil amenity sites and garages providing facilities
for disposal of used oil and used oil filters. If in
doubt, contact your local authority for advice on dis-
posal.
The regulations concerning the pollution of the
environment will vary from country to country. REFILLING THE AdBlue® TANK
When the [Refill AdBlue] warning appears in the
vehicle information display, refill the AdBlue® tank
before the tank is empty (see “AdBlue® Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system (where fitted for
diesel engine model)” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section for the AdBlue® warning display.) Refill the
AdBlue® tank according to the procedures shown
in this section.
CAUTION
•
Use only AdBlue®. Using other fluids will
damage the AdBlue® Selective Catalytic Re-
duction (SCR) system.
• Be careful not to spill AdBlue®. If the AdBlue®
is spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it away
with
awet cloth immediately to avoid paint
damage.
• AdBlue® residues crystallize after
aperiod of
time and contaminate the paint surfaces. If
the spilled AdBlue® has crystallized, use a
sponge and cold water to clean it.
• Be careful not to inhale any ammonia vapours
that may be released. Fill the AdBlue® tank in
well-ventilated areas.
The AdBlue® tank is located underneath the ve-
hicle. (see “AdBlue® filler lid and cap” in the “3. Pre-
driving checks and adjustments” section for the
AdBlue® filler lid location.)
1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Automatic Transmission (AT) model: Move the
shift lever to the P(Park) position.
Manual Transmission (MT) model: Move the shift
lever to the N(Neutral) position.
3. Place the ignition switch in the OFFposition.
