he oil replacement indicator is displayed
in the vehicle information display.
• The engine oil should be changed before the
distance to oil change reaches
0km(0miles).
Continued driving after the distance to oil
change reaches 0km(0miles) may result in
reduced engine performance.
• The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) may also
become saturated because regeneration is
restricted once the distance to oil change
reaches 0km(0m iles).
Have the vehicle inspected by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop if the above con-
dition occurs.
• The oil change interval will reduce faster with
certain types of driving, especially at low
speeds in urban conditions.

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. •

odically.
RUNNING-IN SCHEDULE
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
5-2 Starting and driving

Condition A
This warning appears if there is amalfunction in the
AdBlue® SCR system.
Have the system checked by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Condition B This warning provides you with an estimation of the
distance (0 to 1000 km (0 to 621 miles)) that can be
driven before inspecting and/or repairing the Ad-
Blue® SCR system.
Condition C
• If this warning appears while the engine is
stopped, the engine cannot be started. Contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop.
• If this warning appears while the engine is run-
ning, the vehicle can still be driven to the nearest
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
• If the ignition switch is turned off while this warn-
ing appears, the engine can be restarted within
3m
inutes. Stop the vehicle in asafe place and
contact an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop.
Have the AdBlue® SCR system inspected and/or
repaired by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop as soon as possible. WARNING
• Be careful not to burn yourself with exhaust
gases.
• Do not park the vehicle over flammable mate-
rials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags,
as they may burn easily.
CAUTION
To maintain maximum Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) performance, follow these precautions:
• Use low-sulphur fuel.
• Use an engine oil specified by RENAULT. (Re-
fer to the maintenance service booklet for
your vehicle.) If an engine oil not
aspecified
by RENAULT is used, it could cause DPF mal-
function or reduced fuel efficiency.
• Do not modify the DPF, muffler or exhaust
pipe. Otherwise it could affect the DPF perfor-
mance and cause
amalfunction.
• Do not kick or hit the DPF. The DPF has a
built-in catalyst system in the muffler. Such
an impact could cause DPF damage. JVM0546XZ

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(DPF) (where fitted)
Starting and driving 5-5

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) reduces the
amount of materials that affect the environment by
collecting particulate matter included in exhaust
gases. Normally, particulate matter accumulated in
the DPF is automatically burned and converted to
harmless substances during driving. However, par-
ticulate matter collected in the DPF cannot be
burned under the following conditions:
• When vehicle speed remains below 15 km/h (10
MPH) for
along period of time.
• When the engine is frequently stopped and re-
started within 10 minutes.
• When the vehicle is frequently used for short
journeys of 10 minutes or less.
• When the engine is frequently stopped before it
has warmed up.
In these cases, it becomes difficult to burn particu-
late matter that has accumulated in the DPF auto-
matically. As aresult, the DPF warning light in the
meter will illuminate and the indicator light on the
DPF regeneration switch will blink. This is not amal-
function.
If the DPF warning light comes on, perform the DPF
regeneration process.
CAUTION
If the vehicle continues to be driven with the DPF
warning light illuminated and without doing the
regeneration process, the fail-safe will limit the
engine revolutions and/or torque. In this case, the engine oil must be replaced and the process
of service regeneration must be carried out by an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
The service regeneration is not covered by the
warranty.
AUTOMATIC REGENERATION
If the DPF warning light comes on, it indicates that
particulate matter has accumulated in the DPF to
the specified limit. Particulate matter collected in the
DPF cannot be burned under low speed driving con-
ditions.
As soon as safely possible, drive the vehicle at a
high speed (more than approximately 80 km/h (50
MPH)) until the DPF warning light turns off. Always
conform to local regulations.
When the accumulated particulate matter has been
completely burned, the DPF warning light will turn
off. Pick-up vehicles have
asignificantly higher roll-
over rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than passenger
cars to make them capable of performing in awide
variety of on-pavement and off-road applications.
This gives them ahigher centre of gravity than ordi-
nary cars. An advantage of higher ground clearance
is ab etter view of the road, allowing you to antici-
pate problems. However, they are not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as conventional pas-
senger cars any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or
abrupt manoeuvres, particularly at high speeds. As
with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover.
For information about driving using Four-Wheel
Drive (4WD) (where fitted), see “Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) (where fitted)” later in this section.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions: WARNING
• Drive carefully when off the road and avoid
dangerous areas. Every person who drives or
rides in this vehicle should be seated with
their seat belt fastened. This will keep you
and your passengers in position when driving
over rough terrain.
ON-ROAD AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
5-6 Starting and driving

•
Be sure to check the brakes immediately af-
ter driving in mud or water. See “Brake
system” later in this section for wet brakes.
• Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills. If
you get out of the vehicle and it rolls forward,
backward or sideways, you could be injured.
• Whenever you drive off-road through sand,
mud or water as deep as the wheel hub, more
frequent maintenance may be required. See
the maintenance information in
aseparate
maintenance booklet.
• Rinse the underside of the vehicle with fresh
water after driving through mud or sand. Re-
move any brush or sticks that are trapped. The turbocharger system uses engine oil for lubrica-
tion and cooling of its rotating components. The tur-
bocharger turbine turns at extremely high speeds
and it can reach an extremely high temperature. It is
essential to maintain
aflow of clean oil through the
turbocharger system. Asudden interruption to the
oil supply may cause amalfunction in the turbo-
charger.
To ensure prolonged life and performance of the
turbocharger, it is essential to comply with the fol-
lowing maintenance procedure:
CAUTION
• Change the engine oil of the turbo-charged
diesel engine as prescribed. See the sepa-
rately provided maintenance booklet for addi-
tional information.
• Use only the recommended engine oil. For
details, refer to the maintenance service
booklet for your vehicle.
• If the engine has been operating at high rpm
for an extended period of time, let it idle for a
few minutes prior to shutdown.
• Do not accelerate the engine to high rpm im-
mediately after starting it.
• When starting the engine at ambient tempera-
tures below −5°C (23°F), an engine protection
mode may be activated. During this time, the
engine output is reduced. The engine protec-
tion mode is switched off automatically after
am
aximum of 3minutes (provided the accel-
erator pedal is released completely). Driving your vehicle to fit the circumstances is es-
sential for your safety and comfort. As
adriver, you
should be the one who knows best how to drive in
the given circumstances.
ENGINE COLD START PERIOD
Due to the higher engine speeds, when the engine
is cold, extra caution must be exercised when se-
lecting agear during the engine warm-up period
after starting the engine.
LOADING LUGGAGE
Loads and their distribution and the attachment of
equipment (roof baggage carriers, etc.) will consid-
erably change the driving characteristics of the ve-
hicle. Your driving style and speed must be adjusted
according to the circumstances.
DRIVING IN WET CONDITIONS
• Avoid accelerating or stopping suddenly.
• Avoid sharp turning or lane changing suddenly.
• Avoid following too close to the vehicle in front.
When water covers the road surface with water
puddles, small water streams, etc., reduce speed to
prevent hydroplaning which can cause skidding and
loss of control. Worn tyres will increase this risk.
DRIVING IN WINTER CONDITIONS • Drive cautiously.
• Avoid accelerating or stopping suddenly.
• Avoid sharp turning or lane changing suddenly.
