(where fitted)
Your vehicle is equipped with aTyre Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) (where fitted) that monitors
the tyre pressure of all tyres except the spare.
The low tyre pressure warning light warns of low
tyre pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not func-
tioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, this light illuminates for about 1second and
turns off.
Low tyre pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tyre pressure,
the warning light will illuminate. Alow tyre pressure
warning (e.g., [Low tyre pressure]) also appears in
the vehicle information display.
Instruments and controls 2-9

When the low tyre pressure warning light illuminates,
you should stop and adjust the tyre pressure of all 4
tyres to the recommended COLD tyre pressure
shown on the tyre placard located on the driver side
centre pillar see “Tyre placard” in the “9. Technical information” section. The low tyre pressure warning
light does not automatically turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted. After the tyre is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must be driven
at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate the
TPMS and turn off the low tyre pressure warning light. Use atyre pressure gauge to check the tyre
pressure.
The low tyre pressure (e.g., [Low tyre pressure])
warning appears each time the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the low tyre
pressure warning light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see “Vehicle information
display” later in this section and “Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) (where fitted)” later in
this section.
TPMS resetting must be also performed after atyre
or aw heel is replaced, or the tyres are rotated.
Depending on achange in the outside temperature,
the low tyre pressure warning light may illuminate
even if the tyre pressure has been adjusted prop-
erly. Adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure again when the tyres are cold,
and reset the TPMS. If the low tyre pressure warning light still continues
to illuminate after the resetting operation, it may indi-
cate that the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have
the system checked by an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
For additional information, see “Tyre Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) (where fitted)” in the “5. Start-
ing and driving” section and “Vehicle information
display” later in this section.
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tyre
pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1
minute when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position. The light will remain on after
1minute. Have
the system checked by an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop. The low tyre pressure warning does
not appear if the low tyre pressure warning light illu-
minates to indicate aTPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tyre Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) (where fitted)” in the “5. Start-
ing and driving” section. WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use apace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible in-
fluences before use. •
If the light does not illuminate with the igni-
tion switch pushed ON, have the vehicle
checked by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
• If the low tyre pressure warning light illumi-
nates while driving, avoid sudden steering
manoeuvres or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to
asafe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Driving
with under-inflated tyres may permanently
damage the tyres and increase the likelihood
of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage could
occur and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury. Check the
tyre pressure for all four tyres. Adjust the tyre
pressure to the recommended COLD tyre
pressure shown on the tyre placard, located
on the driver side centre pillar, to turn the low
tyre pressure warning light off. If the light still
illuminates while driving after adjusting the
tyre pressure, atyre may be flat. If you have a
flat tyre, repair it with the emergency tyre
puncture repair kit (where fitted) or replace it
with aspare tyre (where fitted) as soon as
possible.
• After adjusting the tyre pressure, be sure to
reset the TPMS. Unless the resetting is per-
formed, the TPMS will not warn of the low tyre
pressure correctly.
2-10 Instruments and controls

•
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
