CHECKING LIGHTS
With all doors closed, apply the parking brake, fas-
ten the seat belts and place the ignition switch in the
ON position without starting the engine. The follow-
ing lights (where fitted) will come on: , ,

The following lights (where fitted) will come on briefly
and then go off: , , ,
, ,
, , , , , , (blue and
red)
If any light does not come on, or operates in away
other than described it may indicate aburned-out
bulb and/or asystem malfunction. Have the system
checked, and if necessary repaired, by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
Models with colour display:
Some indicators and warnings are also displayed on
the vehicle information display between the speedo-
meter and tachometer. (See “Indicators for
operation” later in this section.)
WARNING LIGHTS Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light (where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi- nates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational. If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine
is running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS
is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop promptly.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function
is turned off. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.)
While the differential lock (where fitted) is en-
gaged, the ABS warning light illuminates. This
indicates that the anti-lock function is not fully
operating. (See “Rear differential locking system
(where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion for the rear differential lock function.) Automatic Transmission (AT)
check warning light (AT model)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Automatic Transmission (AT) check warning light
illuminates and then turns off. This indicates that the
AT is operational.
If the AT check warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may indicate
that the AT is not functioning properly and may need
servicing. Have the system checked, and if neces-
sary repaired, by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop promptly. Automatic Transmission (AT) oil
temperature warning light (AT
model)
This light illuminates when the Automatic Transmis-
sion (AT) oil temperature is too high. If the light illu-
minates while driving, reduce the vehicle speed as
soon as safely possible until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the AT oil tem-
perature warning light is on may damage the AT. Automatic Transmission (AT)
park warning light (AT model)
This light indicates that the Automatic Transmission
(AT) parking function is not engaged. If the transfer
control is not secured in any driving position while
the AT shift lever is in the P(Park) position, the
transmission will disengage and the wheels will not
lock.
For 4WD model: If the ATP warning light illumi-
nates with the shift lever in the P(Park) position,
shift the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) mode switch to
the 2WD, 4H or 4LO position again with the shift
lever in the N(Neutral) position. (See “4WD mode
switch operation” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.)

If any of the following conditions occur, the SRS air
bag system and/or pre-tensioner seat belt (where
fitted) need servicing. Have the system checked,
and if necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop promptly.
• The SRS air bag warning light remains illumi-
nated after about
7seconds.
• The SRS air bag warning light flashes intermit-
tently.
• The SRS air bag warning light does not come on

AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Brake pad wear warning The disc brake pads have audible wear warnings.
When abrake pad requires replacement, it will make
ah igh pitched scraping sound when the vehicle is in
motion. This scraping sound will first occur only
when the brake pedal is depressed. After more wear
of the brake pad, the sound will always be heard
even if the brake pedal is not depressed. Have the
brakes checked as soon as possible if the wear
warning sound is heard.
Have the system checked, and if necessary re-
paired, by an approved dealer or qualified workshop
promptly. (See “Brakes” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.)

HEADLIGHT SWITCH
RENAULT recommends that you consult the local
regulations concerning the use of lights.
AUTO position
When the ignition switch is in the ONposition and
the headlight switch is in the
headlights, front clearance lights, instrument panel
lights, rear combination lights and other lights turn
on automatically depending on the brightness of the
surroundings.
The headlights will turn on automatically at twilight
or in rainy weather (when the windscreen wiper is
operated continuously).
When the ignition switch is placed in the OFFposi-
tion, the lights will turn off automatically. CAUTION
Do not place any objects on top of the brightness
sensor. The sensor senses the brightness level
and controls the autolight function. If the sensor
is covered, it reacts as if it is dark, and the head-
lights will illuminate.
m position
The position
turns on the front clearance, in-
strument panel, tail and number plate lights.
m position
The position
turns on the headlights in addition
to the other lights.
Headlight beam
To turn on the high beam, push the lever towards
the front position ➀.
To turn off the high beam, return the lever to the
neutral position ➁. To flash the headlights, pull the lever towards the
rearmost position
➂.T
he headlights can be flashed
even when the headlights are not on.
Friendly lighting (where fitted):
When the lever is pulled towards the rearmost posi-
tion ➂after the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF
or LOCK position, the headlights will turn on and
stay on for 30 seconds. Each time the lever is pulled
towards the rearmost position 30 seconds are
added to the timer.
The lever can be pulled up to 4times for 2minutes
of illumination.
Daytime running light system
(where fitted)
Even if the headlight switch is in the OFFposition,
the daytime running lights will come on after starting
the engine.
When the light switch is turned to the or
position, the daytime running light will turn off.NIC2765

HEADLIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL
SWITCH
Instruments and controls2-31

HEADLIGHT AIMING CONTROL
(where fitted)
Manual type
The headlight aiming control operates when the ig- nition switch is in the ONand the headlight switch is
in the position to allow the headlight axis to be
adjusted according to the driving condition.
When driving with no heavy load/luggage or driving
on aflat road, select the normal position <0>.
If the number of occupants and load/luggage in the
vehicle changes, the headlight axis may become
higher than normal.
If the vehicle is travelling on ahilly road, the head-
lights may directly shine on the rearview and outside mirrors of avehicle ahead or the windscreen of an
oncoming vehicle, which may obscure another driv-
ers’ vision. To adjust to the proper aiming height, turn the switch
accordingly. The higher the number, designated on
the switch, the lower the headlight axis.
Automatic type
For vehicles fitted with an automatic levelling sys-
tem, the headlight axis is controlled automatically.
BATTERY SAVER SYSTEM
(where fitted)
The light reminder chime will sound if the headlight
switch is in either the or position and
when the driver’s door is opened with the ignition
switch in the ACC,OFForLOCK position.
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFForLOCK
position while the headlight switch is in the or
position, the battery saver function will turn off
the lights after aperiod of time to prevent the battery
from being discharged.
CAUTION
Do not leave the lights on when the engine is not
running for extended periods of time to prevent
the battery from being discharged. TURN SIGNAL SWITCH
CAUTION
The turn signal switch will not be cancelled auto-
matically if the steering wheel turning angle does
not exceed the preset amount. After the turn or
lane change, make sure that the turn signal
switch is returned to its original position.
Turn signal
To turn on the turn signals, move the lever up
➀or
down ➁to the point where the lever latches. When
the turn is completed, the turn signal cancels auto-
matically.
Lane change signal
To turn on the lane change signals, move the lever
up ➀ or down
➁to the point where the light be-
gins to flash.
If the lever is moved back to its original position right
after moving up or down, the light will flash 3times. JVI0477XZ NIC2915
