NOTE
Use the power socket located on the lower
part of the cockpit ➀.
7. Check the specified tyre pressure on the tyre placard that is affixed to the driver’s side centre
pillar.
8. Place the ignition switch in the ACC position. Then turn the compressor switch to the ON (−)
position and inflate the tyre up to the pressure
that is specified on the tyre placard affixed to the
driver’s side centre pillar if possible, or to the
minimum of 180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi), for tyre
205R16 250 kPa (2.5 bar, 36 psi). Turn the air
compressor off briefly in order to check the tyre
pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tyre is inflated to higher than the specified
pressure, adjust the tyre pressure by releasing
air with the pressure release valve. The cold tyre
pressures are shown on the tyre placard affixed
to the driver’s side centre pillar. WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury while using
the emergency tyre puncture repair kit.
• Securely tighten the compressor hose to
the tyre valve. Failure to do so can cause
the sealant to spray into the air and get
into your eyes or on your skin.
• Do not stand directly beside the damaged
tyre while it is being inflated because of
the risk of rupture. If there are any cracks
or bumps, turn the compressor off imme-
diately.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the compressor for more
than 10 minutes. If the tyre pressure does
not increase to the specified pressure
within 10 minutes, the tyre may be seri-
ously damaged and the tyre cannot be re-
paired with this tyre repair kit. Contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
9. When the tyre pressure is at the specified value, close the pressure release valve and turn the air
compressor off. If the pressure cannot be in-
flated to the specified value, the air compressor
can be turned off at the minimum of 180 kPa (1,8
bar, 26 psi) for tyre 205R16 250 kPa (2,5 bar, 36
psi). Remove the power plug from the power
outlet and quickly remove the hose from the tyre
valve. Attach the protective cap and valve cap.
Properly stow the emergency tyre puncture re-
pair kit in the storage location. WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury when stowing
the emergency tyre puncture repair kit, keep the
sealant bottle screwed into the compressor. Fail-
ure to do so can cause the sealant to spray into
the air and get into your eyes or on the skin.
10. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or
3–10 km (2–6 miles) (if the road situation al-lows) at aspeed of 80 km/h (50 MPH) or less.
11. After driving 10 km (6 miles), or 10 minutes, screw the air tube of the air compressor se-
curely onto the tyre valve. Check the tyre pres-
sure with the pressure gauge.
The temporary repair is completed if the tyre
pressure does not drop.
Make sure the pressure is adjusted to the pres-
sure that is specified on the tyre placard before
driving.
If the tyre pressure drops under 130 kPa (19
psi):
The tyre cannot be repaired with this tyre punc-
ture repair kit. Contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
If the tyre pressure is 130 kPa (19 psi) or more
but less than the specified pressure:
Turn the compressor switch to the ON (−) position
and inflate the tyre up to the specified pressure.
Then repeat the step from 8. NCE479

11. Start the engine of the jumped vehicle
jBi nthe
normal manner.
CAUTION
Never keep the starter motor engaged for
more than 10 seconds. If the engine does not
start right away, place the ignition switch in
the “LOCK” position and wait at least 10 sec-
onds before trying again.
12. After the engine is started, carefully disconnect the jumper cables in the opposite sequence
from that illustrated ( ➃,
➂ ,
➁ ,
➀ ).
13. Remove and dispose of the cloth properly as it may be contaminated with corrosive acid.
14. Replace the vent caps, if removed. Do not attempt to start the engine by pushing the
vehicle.
CAUTION
• Automatic Transmission (AT) model cannot
be started by pushing. Attempting to do so
may cause damage to the transmission.
• Three-way catalyst equipped model should
not be started by pushing. Attempting to do
so may cause damage to the three-way cata-
lyst.
• Diesel Oxidation Catalyst equipped model
should not be started by pushing. Attempting
to do so may cause damage to the catalyst.
• Never try to start the engine by towing. When
the engine starts, the forward surge could
cause the vehicle to collide with the towing
vehicle. WARNING
• Never continue driving if your vehicle over-
heats. Doing so could cause engine damage
and/or avehicle fire.
• Never open the bonnet if steam is coming
out.
• Never remove the radiator or coolant reser-
voir cap while the engine is hot. If the radiator
or coolant reservoir cap is removed when the
engine is hot, pressurised hot water will spurt
out and possibly cause burning, scalding or
serious injury.
• If steam or coolant is coming from the engine,
stand clear of the vehicle to prevent getting
scalded.
• The engine cooling fan can start at any time
when the coolant temperature exceeds pre-
set degrees.
• Be careful not to allow your hands, hair, jewel-
lery or clothing to come into contact with, or
to get caught in the cooling fan or drive belts.
If your vehicle is overheating, or if you feel alack of
engine power, detect unusual noise, etc., take the
following steps:
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard indicator flashers.
3. Apply the parking brake.

Automatic transmission model:
Move the shift lever to the P(Park) position.
Manual transmission model:
Move the shift lever to the N(Neutral) position.
DO NOT STOP THE ENGINE.
5. Open all the windows.
6. Turn off the air conditioner. Move the tempera- ture control to maximum hot and the fan control
to high speed.
7. Get out from the vehicle.
8. Visually inspect and listen for steam or coolant escaping from the radiator before opening the
bonnet. Wait until no steam or coolant can be
seen before proceeding.
9. Open the engine bonnet.
10. Visually inspect if the cooling fan is running.
11. Visually inspect the radiator and radiator hoses for leakage. If the cooling fan is not running or
the coolant is leaking, stop the engine.
12. After the engine cools down, check the coolant level in the reservoir with the engine running.
Do not open the radiator or coolant reservoir
cap.
13. Add coolant to the reservoir if necessary.
Have your vehicle inspected/repaired at an
approved dealer or qualified workshop. When towing your vehicle, local regulations for tow-
ing must be followed. Incorrect towing equipment
could damage your vehicle. To assure proper tow-
ing and to prevent accidental damage to your ve-
hicle, RENAULT recommends that you have profes-
sional road assistance personnel tow your vehicle. It
is advisable to have the professional road assistant
carefully read the following precautions.
TOWING PRECAUTIONS
• Be sure that the transmission, steering system
and powertrain are in working condition before
towing. If any units are damaged, the vehicle
must be towed using
adolly or flatbed tow truck.
(Two- Wheel Drive (2WD) model)
• RENAULT recommends that your vehicle be
towed with the driving wheels off the ground.
(Two- Wheel Drive (2WD) model)
• To tow
avehicle with automatic transmission,

Towing Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) models
RENAULT recommends that your vehicle be towed
with all wheels off the ground as illustrated or place
the vehicle on aflatbed truck.
CAUTION
Never tow 4WD models with any of the wheels on
the ground. Doing so will cause serious and ex-
pensive damage to the drivetrain. Freeing trapped vehicle WARNING
• Never allow anyone to stand near the towing
line during the pulling operation.
• Never spin the tyres at high speed. This could
cause them to explode and result in serious
injury. Parts of the vehicle could also overheat
and be damaged.
In the event that your vehicle’s tyres become trapped
in sand, snow, or mud, and the vehicle is unable to
free itself without being pulled, use the towing eye.
• Use the towing eye only. Do not attach the pull-
ing device to any other part of the vehicle body.
Otherwise, the vehicle body may be damaged.
• Use the towing eye to free
avehicle only. Never
tow avehicle using only the towing eye. NCE481
NCE476
In case of emergency

•
The towing eye is under tremendous stress when
used to free atrapped vehicle. Always pull the
pulling device straight out from the vehicle. Never
pull on the towing eye at an angle.
CAUTION
In order to not break the towing line, tension it
slowly.
