WARNING
• Use only new fluid from
asealed container.
Old, inferior, or contaminated fluid may dam- age the clutch system.
• Clean the filler cap before removing.
• Clutch fluid is poisonous and should be stored
carefully in marked containers out of the reach
of children.
CAUTION
• Refilling and checking the clutch system
should be left to an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop who will have the necessary
clutch fluid and technical knowledge.
• Do not spill the fluid on painted surfaces. This
will damage the paint. If fluid is spilled, wash
with water.
For details of recommended fluids, refer to the main- tenance service booklet for your vehicle. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. If the fluid is
below the MIN line
➁,a
dd fluid up to the MAX line
➀ .
If the fluid must be added frequently, the clutch sys-
tem should be thoroughly checked by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop. WARNING
Anti-freeze is poisonous and should be stored
carefully in marked containers out of the reach of
children.
Check the fluid level in the reservoir tank and add
fluid if necessary.
If the low washer fluid warning (in the vehicle infor-
mation display) or the low washer fluid warning light
(in the meter) is equipped, the warning appears or
the warning light illuminates when the reservoir tank
fluid is at alow level. Add washer fluid as necessary.
Add awasher solvent to the water for better clean-
ing. In the winter season, add windscreen washer
anti-freeze. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
for the mixture ratio. JVM0450XZ JVM0452XZ

•
Incorrect tyre selection, fitting, care or main-
tenance can affect vehicle safety with risk of
accident and injury. If in doubt, consult an
approved dealer or qualified workshop or the
tyre manufacturer.
TYRE WEAR AND DAMAGE
➀ :W
ear indicator
➁ :W
ear indicator location mark
Tyres should be periodically inspected for wear,
cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If
excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are
found, the tyre should be replaced immediately.
The original tyres have abuilt-in tread wear indica-
tor. When the wear indicator is visible, the tyre
should be replaced.
Improper service of aspare tyre may result in seri-
ous personal injury. If it is necessary to repair the
spare tyre, contact an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. TYRE AGE
Never use
atyre over six years old, regardless of
whether it has been used or not.
Tyres degrade with age as well as with the vehicle
usage. Have your tyres checked and balanced often
by arepair shop or, if you prefer, an approved dealer
or qualified workshop.
CHANGING TYRES AND WHEELS WARNING
Do not install
adeformed wheel or tyre even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels or tyres could
have structural damage and could fail without
warning.
When replacing atyre, use the same size, speed
rating and load carrying capacity as originally
equipped. (See “Tyres and wheels” in the “9. Tech-
nical information” section for recommended types
and sizes of tyres and wheels.) The use of tyres
other than those recommended or the mixed use of
tyres of different brands, construction (bias, bias-
belted, or radial), or tread patterns can adversely
affect the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance,
body-to-tyre clearance, snow chain clearance,
speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper
height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents
and could result in serious personal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason, always
replace with wheels which have the same offset
dimension. Wheels of adifferent offset could cause
early tyre wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling characteristics and/or interference with the brake
discs/drums. Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake
pad/shoe wear.
WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and
tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out
of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
SPARE TYRE
Conventional spare tyre (where fitted)
As tandard tyre (the same size as the road wheels)
is supplied with your vehicle.
Temporary spare tyre (where fitted)
The temporary spare tyre is adifferent size from the
road wheels.
Temporary spare tyres can be distinguished as fol-
lows:
—T yre and wheel size differs from the four mounted
tyres and wheels.
—T here is alabel in the wheel with aspeed limita-
tion.
In order to avoid malfunction adhere to the follow-
ing:
• Never drive at speeds above 80 km/h (50 MPH).
• Drive with special caution when
atemporary
spare wheel is mounted. SDI1663Z

Refer to the maintenance service booklet for your
vehicle for details of recommended fluids/lubricants
and capacities.
FUEL INFORMATION
Diesel engine*
M9T 2.3DCI engine:
Diesel fuel above 50 cetane and with less than 10
ppm of sulphur (EN590) must be used.
* If two types of diesel fuel are available, use
summer or winter fuel properly according to
the following temperature conditions.
• Above –7°C (20°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
• Below –7°C (20°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
CAUTION
• Do not use home heating oil, petrol or other
alternate fuels in your diesel engine. The use
of those or adding those to diesel fuel can
cause engine damage.
• Do not use summer fuel at temperatures be-
low –7°C (20°F). The cold temperatures will
cause wax to form in the fuel. As
aresult, it
may prevent the engine from running
smoothly. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
(ATF)
Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop if
checking or replacement is required.
CAUTION
• Use only ATF that is recommended in the
Maintenance Service Booklet. Do not mix with
other fluids.
• Using automatic transmission fluid other than
the ATF that is recommended in the Mainte-
nance Service Booklet may cause deteriora-
tion in driveability and automatic transmission
durability and may damage the automatic
transmission. Such damage is not covered by
the warranty.
AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
The air conditioner system of your vehicle must be
charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a) and the lubricant specified in the maintenance service
booklet for your vehicle..
CAUTION
Use of any other refrigerants or lubricants will
cause severe damage, and you may need to re-
place your vehicle’s entire air conditioner sys-
tem. The release of refrigerants into the atmosphere is
prohibited in many countries and regions. The re-
frigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your vehicle will not
harm the Earth’s ozone layer. However, it may con-
tribute in asmall part to the global warming effect.
RENAULT recommends that the refrigerant be ap-
propriately recovered and recycled. Contact an ap-
proved dealer or qualified workshop when servicing
the air conditioner system.
