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. •
Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.

Avoid sudden steering.
• Avoid following too close to the vehicle in front.
ja TPMS indicator light
j b TPMS tyre location indicator
j A Tyre valve with sensor
The tyre pressure monitoring system monitors the
tyre pressure of the four wheels while the vehicle is
in motion. Following aloss in pressure, the system
will warn the driver using avisual warning. Each TPMS sensor
jAh asaregistered wheel location
and sends pressure and temperature data via radio
to ar eceiver inside the vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare (where fitted), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of adiffer-
ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tyre inflation pressure for those
tyres.)
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) con-
trols the TPMS indicator light j
a, which will illumi-
nate when one or more tyres are significantly under-
inflated. Awarning and tyre location indicator
j bw ill also appear in the vehicle information display
to identify the tyre or tyres with low pressure.
If you now press the switch on the steer-
ing wheel, afurther screen is displayed to tell you
the tyre pressure of all four tyres. NIC2222

SYSTEM (TPMS) (where fitted)

Accordingly, when the TPMS indicator light illumi-
nates, safely stop the vehicle to check the tyres as
soon as possible and inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure. Driving on asignificantly under-inflated
tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life which may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
NOTE
The TPMS is not asubstitute for proper tyre main-
tenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to main-
tain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger the illumina-
tion of the TPMS indicator light j
a.
The TPMS indicator light flashes for ashort period
and then turns on continuously if the system is not
operating properly. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists (missing or faulty TPMS sensor
or TPMS system malfunction). When the malfunc-
tion warning light is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for avari-
ety of reasons including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS indicator light after replacing one
or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
• The TPMS does not monitor the tyre pressure of
the spare tyre.
• The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH). Also,
this system may not detect
asudden drop in tyre
pressure (for example aflat tyre while driving).
• The TPMS indicator light may not automatically
turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted.
After
the tyre is inflated to the recommended COLD
tyre pressure,d rive the vehicle at speeds above
25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate the TPMS. See
“Adjusting TPMS target pressure” later in this
section
• Following
achange in the outside temperature,
the TPMS indicator light may illuminate even if
the tyre pressure has been adjusted properly.
Adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure again when the tyres are
cold, and reset the TPMS.
For additional information, see “TPMS tempera-
ture calibration” later in this section. WARNING
• If the TPMS indicator light illuminates while
driving:
–a void sudden steering manoeuvres
–a void abrupt braking
–r educe vehicle speed
–p ull off the road to asafe location
–s top the vehicle as soon as possible
• Driving with under-inflated tyres may perma-
nently damage the tyres and increase the like-
lihood of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur which may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal injury.
• Check the tyre pressure for all four tyres. Ad-
just the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre plac-
ard to turn the TPMS indicator light “OFF”. In
case of
aflat tyre, replace it with aspare tyre
as soon as possible. (See “Flat tyre” in the
“6. In case of emergency” section for chang-
ing aflat tyre.)
• When
aspare tyre is mounted or awheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
TPMS indicator light will flash for approxi-
mately 1minute. The light will remain on after
1m inute. Be sure to follow all instructions for
wheel replacement and mount the TPMS sys-
tem correctly. NIC2225
5-10 Starting and driving

•
Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by RENAULT could affect the proper op-
eration of the TPMS.
• RENAULT recommends using only the Emer-
gency Tyre Sealant provided with your vehicle.
Other tyre sealants may damage the valve
stem seal which can cause the tyre to lose air
pressure. Visit an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop as soon as possible after using
tyre repair sealant (for models equipped with
the emergency tyre puncture repair kit).
CAUTION
• The TPMS may not function properly when the
wheels are equipped with tyre chains or the
wheels are buried in snow.
• Do not place metallised film or any metal parts
(antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may
cause poor reception of the signals from the
tyre pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not
function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tempo-
rarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS
and cause the TPMS indicator light to illumi-
nate. Some examples are:
–F acilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
–I fatransmitter set to similar frequencies is
being used in or near the vehicle. –I
fac omputer (or similar equipment) or a
DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
–I fdevices which transmit electrical noise
are connected to the vehicle’s 12V power
supply.
• When inflating the tyres and checking the tyre
pressure, never bend the valves.
• Special aluminium valves are fitted to mount
the TPMS sensors on the wheels. The TPMS
sensor is fixed at the wheels by
anut. The nut
needs to be correctly fitted at atorque setting
of 7.5 ±0.5 N•m. If the TPMS sensor is tight-
ened exceeding the limit, there is apossibility
the sensor grommet will be damaged. If the
sensor is tightened under the limit, there is a
possibility of causing an air leak.
• Use valve caps that comply with the factory-
fitted valve cap specifications.
• Do not use metal valve caps.
• Fit the valve caps properly. Without the valve
caps the valve and tyre pressure monitor sen-
sors could be damaged.
• Do not damage the valves and sensors when
storing the wheels or fitting different tyres.
• Replace the sensor grommet and washer dur-
ing
atyre change. Once they have been re-
moved, the sensor grommet and washer can-
not be reused and must be replaced. The
TPMS sensors can be used again. •
Use caution when using tyre inflation equip-
ment with
arigid air supply tube, as leverage
applied by the long nozzle can damage the
valve stem.

At ignition ON. Once the vehicle starts moving the
tyre pressure is monitored.
NEW AND REPOSITIONED TPMSSENSORS (including fitment of
alternative wheels)
It is recommended that an approved dealer per-
forms the registration of anew TPMS sensor or
sensor location.
It is also possible to register the sensor yourself fol-
lowing the procedure below:
Procedure:
1. Change tyre position or have anew TPMS sen-
sor fitted.
2. Confirm pressure of COLD tyre and perform Temperature Calibration. See “TPMS tempera-
ture calibration” later in this section.
3. Drive the vehicle for several minutes between 25 km/h (16 MPH) and 100 km/h (64 MPH). The
TPMS sensor ID and position will automatically
be detected.
