2. Firmly depress the brake pedal.
3. Touch the ignition switch with the Remote Con- trol Key as illustrated. (A chime will sound.)
4. Push the ignition switch while depressing the brake pedal (AT model) or the clutch pedal (MT
model) within 10 seconds after the chime
sounds. The engine will start.
After step 3isperformed, when the ignition switch
is pushed without depressing the brake pedal (AT
model) or the clutch pedal (MT model), the ignition
switch position will change to “ACC”.
NOTE
• When the ignition switch is pushed to the
“ACC” or “ON” position or the engine is started

warning appears on the vehicle information
display even if the Remote Control Key is in-
side the vehicle. This is not
amalfunction. To
turn off the warning, touch the ignition switch
with the Remote Control Key again.
• If the Key Battery low warning appears on the
vehicle information display, replace the bat-
tery as soon as possible. (See “Remote Con-
trol Key battery replacement” in the “8. Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section.) JVS0241XZ

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.

VEHICLE BATTERY
WARNING
Do not operate the vehicle if the fluid in the bat-
tery is low. Low battery fluid can cause ahigher
load on the battery which can generate heat, re-
duce battery life, and in some cases lead to an
explosion.
Checking battery fluid level Check the fluid level in each cell. The battery fluid
level should be between the UPPER LEVEL
➀and
LOWER LEVEL ➁lines.
If it is necessary to add fluid, add only demineralised/
distilled water to bring the level to the indicator in
each filler opening. Do not overfill.
1. Remove the cell plugs ➂using
asuitable tool.
2. Add demineralised/distilled water up to the UP- PER LEVEL ➀line.
If the side of the battery is not clear, check the
distilled water level by looking directly above the
cell; the condition j
Ai ndicates OK and the con-
dition jBn eeds more to be added.
3. Replace and tighten the cell plugs.
• Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under
severe conditions require frequent checks of the
battery fluid level.
• Keep the battery surface clean and dry. Any cor-
rosion should be cleared with
afirmly wrung out
moist cloth.
• Make certain the terminal connections are clean
and securely tightened.
• If the vehicle is not to be used for more than 30
days, disconnect the negative (−) battery termi-
nal cable to prevent battery discharge.
Jump starting
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump starting” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section. If the engine
does not start by jump starting or the battery does not charge, the battery may have to be replaced.
Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop
for replacing the battery.

• Operating the engine with the air cleaner filter
off can cause you or others to be burned. The
air cleaner filter not only cleans the intake air,
it also stops flame if the engine backfires. If
the air cleaner filter is not installed and the engine backfires, you could be burned. Never
drive with the air cleaner filter off. Be cautious
working on the engine when the air cleaner
filter is off.
• Never pour fuel into the throttle body or at-
tempt to start the engine with the air cleaner
removed. Doing so could result in serious in-
jury.
To remove the filter, release the lock pins ➀and
pull the unit upward ➁. The dry paper type filter element may be cleaned
and reused. Replace the air filter according to the
maintenance schedule shown in
aseparate mainte-
nance booklet.
When replacing the filter, wipe the inside of the air
cleaner housing and the cover with adamp cloth. SDI2452Z JVM0451XZ

Replacing
Replace the wiper blades if they are worn.
1. Pull the wiper arm.
2. Push and hold the release tab j
A, and then move
the wiper blade down ➀the wiper arm to re-
move.
3. Remove the wiper blade.
4. Insert the new wiper blade onto the wiper arm until it clicks into place.
CAUTION
• After wiper blade replacement, return the
wiper arm to its original position. Otherwise
the wiper arm or the engine bonnet may be
scratched and may cause damage.
• Worn windscreen wiper blades can damage
the windscreen and impair driver vision. The variable voltage control system measures the
amount of electrical discharge from the battery and
controls voltage generated by the alternator.
CAUTION
• Do not ground accessories directly to the bat-
tery terminal. Doing so will bypass the vari-
able voltage control system and the vehicle
battery may not charge completely.
• Use electrical accessories with the engine
running to avoid discharging the vehicle bat-
tery. SDI2048Z
