work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent
serious accidental injury to yourself or damage to
the vehicle. The following are general precautions
which should be closely observed. WARNING
• Park the vehicle on
alevel surface, apply the
parking brake securely and block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from moving. Move the
shift lever to the P(Park) position (AT model)
or the shift lever to the N(Neutral) position
(MT model). •
Be sure the ignition switch is in the LOCK
position when performing any parts replace-
ment or repairs.
• Do not work under the bonnet while the en-
gine is hot. Always turn off the engine and
wait until it cools down.

tion.
8-4 Maintenance and do-it-yourself

The radiator is fitted with
apressure cap. To prevent
engine damage, use only aGenuine RENAULT ra-
diator cap or its equivalent when replacement is
required.
CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT
LEVEL
Check the coolant level in the reservoir when the
engine is cold. If the coolant level is below the
level ➁,a
dd coolant up to the level
➀.If
the reservoir is empty, check the coolant level in the
radiator when the engine is cold. If there is insuf-
ficient coolant in the radiator, fill the radiator with
coolant up to the filler opening and also add it to the
reservoir up to the level ➀.T
ighten the cap
securely after adding engine coolant.
If the cooling system frequently requires coolant,
have it checked by an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop. CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop if
replacement is required.
Major engine cooling system repair should be per-
formed by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop. The service procedures can be found in the
appropriate Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in reduced heater per-
formance and engine overheating.
WARNING
• To avoid being scalded, never change the
coolant when the engine is hot.
• Never remove the radiator or coolant reser-
voir cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure fluid es-
caping from the radiator.
• Avoid direct skin contact with used coolant. If
skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
• Keep coolant out of reach of children and
pets.
Engine coolant must be disposed of properly. Check
your local regulations. CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on
alevel surface and apply the
parking brake.
2. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine temperature reaches the normal operating tem-
perature (approximately 5minutes).
3. Stop the engine.
4. Wait at least 10 minutes for the engine oil to drain back to the oil pan.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. 6. Reinsert the dipstick all the way.
7. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be within the range ➀.
8. If the oil level is below ➁,r
emove the oil filler
cap and pour the recommended oil into the open-
ing. Do not overfill ➂.
When filling the engine oil, do not remove the

CAUTION
• The oil level should be checked regularly. Op-
erating your vehicle with an insufficient
amount of oil can damage the engine, and
such damage is not covered by the warranty.
• It is normal to add some oil between oil main-
tenance intervals or during the running-in pe-
riod, depending on the severity of operating
conditions.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND OIL
FILTER

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.
