CAUTION
• Continuing vehicle operation without proper
servicing 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 war-
ranty coverage.

qualified workshop promptly.
Precautions:
To reduce or avoid possible damage to the engine
control system when the MIL blinks: • Avoid driving at speeds above 70 km/h (43
MPH).
• Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.
• Avoid going up steep uphill grades.

How to activate system (where fitted)
1. Close all windows.
The system can be armed even if the windows
are open.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
3. Carry the integrated key fob or the Remote Con- trol Key with you and get out of the vehicle.
4. Close and lock all doors. The doors can be locked with the integrated key fob, the Remote
Control Key, door handle request switch (where
fitted), power door lock switch or mechanical
key.
5. Confirm that the security indicator light comes on. The security indicator light glows for about
30 seconds and then blinks. The system is now
activated. If, during this 30 second time period,
the door is unlocked or the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position, the system
will not activate.
Even when the driver and/or passengers are in
the vehicle, the system will activate with all doors
locked with the ignition switch in the LOCK posi-
tion. When pushing the ignition switch to the ACC
or ON position, the system will be released.
Theft warning system operation
The vehicle security system will give the following
alarm:
• The hazard indicator blinks and the horn sounds
intermittently. •
The alarm automatically turns off after approxi-
mately 30 seconds. However, the alarm reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm is activated by:
• Unlocking the door without using the integrated
key fob, the Remote Control Key, the door handle
request switch (where fitted) or the mechanical
key. (Even if the door is opened by releasing the
door inside lock knob, the alarm will activate.)
How to stop alarm
• The alarm will stop only by unlocking
adoor by
pushing the UNLOCK button on the Remote
Control Key.
• The alarm will not stop if the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position.
ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (ATS)
The Anti-Theft System (ATS) will not allow the en-
gine to start without the use of the registered ATS
key.
If the engine does not start using the registered ATS
key, it may be due to interference caused by:
• Another ATS key.
• Automated toll road device.
• Automated payment device.
• Other devices that transmit similar signals. Start the engine using the following procedure:
1. Remove any items that may be causing the inter-
ference away from the ATS key.
2. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for approximately 5seconds.
3. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately 10 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 2and 3again.
5. Start the engine.
6. Repeat the steps above until all possible interfer- ences are eliminated.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
RENAULT recommends placing the registered ATS
key separate from other devices to avoid interfer-
ence.
If ATS is malfunctioning, this light will remain on
while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
If the light remains on and/or the engine does
not start, contact an approved dealer or qualified
workshop for ATS service as soon as possible.
Be sure to bring all Remote Control Keys that you
have when visiting an approved dealer for ser-
vice.
3-16 Pre-driving checks and adjustments

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations to obtain maximum engine per-
formance and ensure the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow these
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
• Do not drive at
aconstant speed, either fast or
slow, for long periods of time.
• Do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
• Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
• Do not start quickly.
• Do not brake hard as much as possible.
• Do not tow
atrailer for at least the first 800 km
(500 miles). WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle will
change remarkably by any additional load and its
distribution, as well as by adding optional equip-
ment (trailer coupling, roof rail, etc.). Your driv-
ing style and speed must be adjusted according
to the circumstances. Especially when carrying
heavy loads, your speed must be reduced ad-
equately.
• Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear.
• Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake (and clutch) fluid, window washer fluid as
frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
• Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Measure and check the tyre pressure
for proper inflation.
• Check that all windows and lights are clean.
• Adjust the seat and head restraint positions.
• Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirror po-
sitions.
• Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do the same.
• Check that all doors are closed.
• Check the operation of the warning lights when
the ignition switch is placed in the “ON” position. •
Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
