ja TPMS indicator light
j b TPMS tyre location indicator
j A Tyre valve with sensor
The tyre pressure monitoring system monitors the
tyre pressure of the four wheels while the vehicle is
in motion. Following aloss in pressure, the system
will warn the driver using avisual warning. Each TPMS sensor
jAh asaregistered wheel location
and sends pressure and temperature data via radio
to ar eceiver inside the vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare (where fitted), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of adiffer-
ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tyre inflation pressure for those
tyres.)
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) con-
trols the TPMS indicator light j
a, which will illumi-
nate when one or more tyres are significantly under-
inflated. Awarning and tyre location indicator
j bw ill also appear in the vehicle information display
to identify the tyre or tyres with low pressure.
If you now press the switch on the steer-
ing wheel, afurther screen is displayed to tell you
the tyre pressure of all four tyres. NIC2222

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) (where fitted)
Starting and driving5-9

Accordingly, when the TPMS indicator light illumi-
nates, safely stop the vehicle to check the tyres as
soon as possible and inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure. Driving on asignificantly under-inflated
tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life which may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
NOTE
The TPMS is not asubstitute for proper tyre main-
tenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to main-
tain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger the illumina-
tion of the TPMS indicator light j
a.
The TPMS indicator light flashes for ashort period
and then turns on continuously if the system is not
operating properly. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists (missing or faulty TPMS sensor
or TPMS system malfunction). When the malfunc-
tion warning light is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for avari-
ety of reasons including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS indicator light after replacing one
or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
• The TPMS does not monitor the tyre pressure of
the spare tyre.
• The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH). Also,
this system may not detect
asudden drop in tyre
pressure (for example aflat tyre while driving).
• The TPMS indicator light may not automatically
turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted.
After
the tyre is inflated to the recommended COLD
tyre pressure,d rive the vehicle at speeds above
25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate the TPMS. See
“Adjusting TPMS target pressure” later in this
section
• Following
achange in the outside temperature,
the TPMS indicator light may illuminate even if
the tyre pressure has been adjusted properly.
Adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure again when the tyres are
cold, and reset the TPMS.
For additional information, see “TPMS tempera-
ture calibration” later in this section. WARNING
• If the TPMS indicator light illuminates while
driving:
–a void sudden steering manoeuvres
–a void abrupt braking
–r educe vehicle speed
–p ull off the road to asafe location
–s top the vehicle as soon as possible
• Driving with under-inflated tyres may perma-
nently damage the tyres and increase the like-
lihood of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur which may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal injury.
• Check the tyre pressure for all four tyres. Ad-
just the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre plac-
ard to turn the TPMS indicator light “OFF”. In
case of
aflat tyre, replace it with aspare tyre
as soon as possible. (See “Flat tyre” in the
“6. In case of emergency” section for chang-
ing aflat tyre.)
• When
aspare tyre is mounted or awheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
TPMS indicator light will flash for approxi-
mately 1minute. The light will remain on after
1m inute. Be sure to follow all instructions for
wheel replacement and mount the TPMS sys-
tem correctly. NIC2225
5-10 Starting and driving

•
Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by RENAULT could affect the proper op-
eration of the TPMS.
• RENAULT recommends using only the Emer-
gency Tyre Sealant provided with your vehicle.
Other tyre sealants may damage the valve
stem seal which can cause the tyre to lose air
pressure. Visit an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop as soon as possible after using
tyre repair sealant (for models equipped with
the emergency tyre puncture repair kit).
CAUTION
• The TPMS may not function properly when the
wheels are equipped with tyre chains or the
wheels are buried in snow.
• Do not place metallised film or any metal parts
(antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may
cause poor reception of the signals from the
tyre pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not
function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tempo-
rarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS
and cause the TPMS indicator light to illumi-
nate. Some examples are:
–F acilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
–I fatransmitter set to similar frequencies is
being used in or near the vehicle. –I
fac omputer (or similar equipment) or a
DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
–I fdevices which transmit electrical noise
are connected to the vehicle’s 12V power
supply.
• When inflating the tyres and checking the tyre
pressure, never bend the valves.
• Special aluminium valves are fitted to mount
the TPMS sensors on the wheels. The TPMS
sensor is fixed at the wheels by
anut. The nut
needs to be correctly fitted at atorque setting
of 7.5 ±0.5 N•m. If the TPMS sensor is tight-
ened exceeding the limit, there is apossibility
the sensor grommet will be damaged. If the
sensor is tightened under the limit, there is a
possibility of causing an air leak.
• Use valve caps that comply with the factory-
fitted valve cap specifications.
• Do not use metal valve caps.
• Fit the valve caps properly. Without the valve
caps the valve and tyre pressure monitor sen-
sors could be damaged.
• Do not damage the valves and sensors when
storing the wheels or fitting different tyres.
• Replace the sensor grommet and washer dur-
ing
atyre change. Once they have been re-
moved, the sensor grommet and washer can-
not be reused and must be replaced. The
TPMS sensors can be used again. •
Use caution when using tyre inflation equip-
ment with
arigid air supply tube, as leverage
applied by the long nozzle can damage the
valve stem.

METER INFORMATION
ACTIVATION
At ignition ON. Once the vehicle starts moving the
tyre pressure is monitored.
NEW AND REPOSITIONED TPMSSENSORS (including fitment of
alternative wheels)
It is recommended that an approved dealer per-
forms the registration of anew TPMS sensor or
sensor location.
It is also possible to register the sensor yourself fol-
lowing the procedure below:
Procedure:
1. Change tyre position or have anew TPMS sen-
sor fitted.
2. Confirm pressure of COLD tyre and perform Temperature Calibration. See “TPMS tempera-
ture calibration” later in this section.
3. Drive the vehicle for several minutes between 25 km/h (16 MPH) and 100 km/h (64 MPH). The
TPMS sensor ID and position will automatically
be detected.
NOTE
The TPMS might not synchronise if one or more
of the following conditions apply:
• Bad road conditions

ADJUSTING TPMS TARGET
PRESSURE
j A Tyre pressure
j B Tyre pressure units
j C Front target pressure
j D Rear target pressure
If you are using your vehicle in aheavily laden condi-
tion, the tyre pressures should be inflated to the
‘Laden Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard.
The TPMS system can be adjusted in the vehicle
information display to set the target pressure to the
‘Laden Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard. See “Vehicle information display” in the “2. Instruments
and controls” section. To adjust the target pressure
use the steering wheel switches to select the [Set-
tings] menu, followed by [Tyre Pressures]. Select
[Target front] and [Target rear] and set the desired
tyre pressure.
The TPMS target pressures will be displayed in the centre of the front and rear axle on the TPMS screen
of the vehicle information display.
TYRE PRESSURE UNITS
The units displayed by the TPMS system can be
selected using the vehicle information display. Se-
lect the [Settings] menu, followed by [Tyre Pres-
sures]. Select [Tyre pressure unit] and choose the
unit that you want.
[CHECK COLD TYRE] MESSAGE
If the tyre pressure becomes higher than the target
pressure during alow tyre pressure condition, the
[Check Cold Tyre] message will be displayed in the vehicle information display (see “Vehicle information
display” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-
tion).
NOTE
Even if the pressure is above the preset target
pressure, the yellow colour in the tyre pressure
warning means that the tyre pressure is actually
too low. Tyre pressure is increasing during driv-
ing. Check the tyre pressure when the tyre is
cold.
TPMS TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
The tyre pressure is affected by the temperature of
the tyre; the tyre temperature increases when the
car is driven. To be able to accurately monitor the
tyre air leakage and to prevent false TPMS warnings
due to reductions in temperature, the TPMS system
uses temperature sensors in the tyres to perform
temperature compensation calculations.
On rare occasions it may be necessary to recalibrate
the TPMS system reference temperature using the
vehicle information display. See “Vehicle informa-
tion display” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section. This operation should only be performed
when the actual tyre pressure has been adjusted,
whilst the current ambient temperature is signifi-
cantly different to the current calibration tempera-
ture. NIC2227

If the pressure drops again,
the tyre cannot be
repaired with this tyre puncture repair kit. Con-
tact an approved dealer or qualified workshop.
When the tyre pressure is the specified
pressure:
The temporary repair is completed.
See an approved dealer or qualified workshop for
the repair/replacement as soon as possible.
After repairing tyre
See an approved dealer or qualified workshop for
tyre repair or replacement and for anew tyre seal-
ant bottle and hose, as soon as possible.
CAUTION
• Before driving, ensure tyre is adjusted to rec-
ommended inflation pressure as indicated on
vehicle placard. Monitor tyre pressure until
sealed tyre is replaced.
• Do not drive the vehicle at speeds faster than
50 MPH (80 km/h), and the damaged tyre
must be replaced as quickly as possible
(within
amaximum driving distance of 200 km
(120 miles)). You must not continue to drive if
heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behaviour
or noises should occur while driving.
• Immediately after using Emergency Tyre Seal-
ant to repair
aminor tyre puncture, take your
vehicle to an approved dealer or qualified
workshop to inspect, and repair or replace
the tyre. The Emergency Tyre Sealant cannot
permanently seal apunctured tyre. Continu- ing operation of the vehicle without
aperma-
nent tyre repair can lead to acrash.
• If you used Emergency Tyre Sealant to repair
am
inor tyre puncture, your approved dealer
or qualified workshop will also need to re-
place the TPMS sensor in addition to repair-
ing or replacing the tyre.
• RENAULT recommends using only RENAULT
Genuine Emergency Tyre Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can cause
the tyre to lose air pressure. WARNING
• Incorrect jump starting can lead to
abattery
explosion. The battery explosion may result in
severe injury or death. It may also result in
damage to the vehicle. Be sure to follow the
instructions in this section.
• Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in
the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks and
flames away from the battery.
• Always wear suitable eye protection and re-
move rings, bracelets, and any other jewellery
whenever working on or near
abattery.
• Never lean over the battery while jump start-
ing.
• Never allow battery fluid to come into contact
with eyes, skin, clothes or the vehicle’s
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is
acorrosive
sulphuric acid which can cause severe burns.
If the fluid comes into contact with anything,
immediately flush the contacted area with
plenty of water.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
• The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts.
Use of an incorrectly rated battery will dam-
age your vehicle.
• Never attempt to jump start
afrozen battery.
It could explode and cause serious injury.
JUMP STARTING
6-10 In case of emergency

Lights*:
Clean the headlights on
aregular basis. Make sure
that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal
lights, and other lights are all operating properly and
installed securely. Also check the aim of the head-
lights.
Tyres*:
Check the pressure with agauge often and always
prior to long distance trips. Adjust the pressure in all
tyres, including the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Tyre rotation*:
In the case of Two-Wheel Drive (2WD), and where
front and rear tyres are the same size: tyres should
be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). Tyres
marked with directional indicators can only be ro-
tated between front and rear. Make sure that the
directional indicators point in the direction of wheel
rotation after the tyre rotation is completed.
In the case of the Four-Wheel Drive and All Wheel
Drive (4WD/AWD), and where front and rear tyres
are the same size: tyres should be rotated every
5,000 km (3,000 miles). Tyres marked with direc-
tional indicators can only be rotated between front
and rear. Make sure that the directional indicators
point in the direction of wheel rotation after the tyre
rotation is completed.
In the case that front tyres are different size from
rear tyres: tyres cannot be rotated.
The timing for tyre rotation may vary according to
your driving habits and the road surface conditions. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components (where fitted):
Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve
core and cap when the tyres are replaced due to
wear or age.
Wheel alignment and balance:
If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving
on astraight and level road, or if you detect uneven
or abnormal tyre wear, there may be aneed for
wheel alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vi-
brates at normal highway speeds, wheel balancing
may be needed.
Windscreen:
Clean the windscreen on aregular basis. Check the
windscreen at least every six months for cracks or
other damage. Repair as necessary.
Wiper blades*:
Check for cracks or wear if not functioning cor-
rectly. Replace as necessary.
Inside vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked on aregular basis, such as when perform-
ing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.

sure that the pedal does not catch or require uneven
effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal. Brake pedal*:
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make
sure that it is the proper distance from the floor mat
when depressed fully. Check the brake booster
function. Be sure to keep the floor mats away from
the pedal.
Parking brake*:
Check the parking brake operation regularly. Check
that the lever (where fitted) or the pedal (where fit-
ted) has the proper travel. Also make sure that the
vehicle is held securely on
afairly steep hill when
only the parking brake is applied.
Seat belts:
Check that all parts of the seat belt system (for
example, buckles, anchors, adjusters and retrac-
tors) operate properly and smoothly, and are in-
stalled securely. Check the belt webbing for cuts,
fraying, wear or damage.
