2. While depressing the footbrake pedal, start the
engine. The pedal height should drop alittle.
3. With the footbrake pedal depressed, stop the engine. Keep the pedal depressed for about 30
seconds. The pedal height should not change.
4. Run the engine for 1minute without depressing
the footbrake pedal, then turn it off. Depress the
footbrake pedal several times. The pedal travel
distance will decrease gradually with each de-
pression as the vacuum is released from the
booster.
If the brakes do not operate properly, have the
brakes checked by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. WARNING
• Use only new fluid from
asealed container.
Old, inferior, or contaminated fluid may dam-
age the brake system. The use of improper
fluids can damage the brake system and af-
fect the vehicle’s stopping ability.
• Clean the filler cap before removing.
• Brake fluid is poisonous and should be stored
carefully in marked containers out of the reach
of children.
CAUTION
• Refilling and checking the brake system
should be left to an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop who will have the necessary
brake 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,t
he brake warning light will
illuminate. Add fluid up to the MAX line ➀.
If fluid must be added frequently, the system should
be thoroughly checked by your approved dealer or
qualified workshop. JVM0450XZ
BRAKE FLUID
8-10 Maintenance and do-it-yourself

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.
Jump starting
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump starting” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section. If the engine
does not start by jump starting or the battery does not charge, the battery may have to be replaced.
Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop
for replacing the battery.
REMOTE CONTROLLER BATTERY
(where fitted)
Remote controller battery replacement
CAUTION
• Be careful not to allow children to swallow the
battery and removed parts.
• An improperly disposed battery can harm the
environment. Always confirm local regulations
for battery disposal.
• When changing batteries, do not let dust or oil
get on the components.
• There is danger of explosion if lithium battery
is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type.
• Do not expose the battery to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire, etc. DI0137MDZ

•
Recommended battery: CR2025 or equiva-
lent
• Do not touch the internal circuit and electric
terminals as doing so could cause
amalfunc-
tion.
• Make sure that the
%side faces the bottom
of the case.
4. Align the tips of the upper and lower parts ➀,
and then push them together until it is securely
closed ➁.
5. Operate the buttons to check its operation.
See an approved dealer or qualified workshop if you
need assistance for replacement. WARNING
• Operating the engine with the air cleaner filter
off can cause you or others to be burned. The
air cleaner filter not only cleans the intake air,
it also stops flame if the engine backfires. If
the air cleaner filter is not installed and the engine backfires, you could be burned. Never
drive with the air cleaner filter off. Be cautious
working on the engine when the air cleaner
filter is off.
• Never pour fuel into the throttle body or at-
tempt to start the engine with the air cleaner
removed. Doing so could result in serious in-
jury.
To remove the filter, release the lock pins ➀and
pull the unit upward ➁. The dry paper type filter element may be cleaned
and reused. Replace the air filter according to the
maintenance schedule shown in
aseparate mainte-
nance booklet.
When replacing the filter, wipe the inside of the air
cleaner housing and the cover with adamp cloth. SDI2452Z JVM0451XZ

ENGINE COMPARTMENT
CAUTION
Never use afuse of ahigher or lower amperage
rating than that specified on the fuse box cover.
This could damage the electrical system or cause
af ire.
Never attempt to use other material (wire, alu-
minium foil. etc.) in place of afuse. This could
damage the electrical system or cause afire. The location and the amperage rating of fuses are
shown on the underside of the fuse box lid.
The number of fuses may vary depending on the
features equipped to the vehicle.
If any electrical equipment does not operate, check
for an open fuse.
1. Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF or LOCK
position.
2. Be sure the headlight switch is in the OFF posi- tion.
3. Open the engine bonnet.
4. Remove the fuse/fusible link cover by pushing the tab.
5. Locate the fuse which needs to be replaced.
6. Remove the fuse using the fuse puller located in the passenger compartment fuse box.
7. If the fuse is open j
A, replace it with anew fuse
j B. If the new fuse also opens, after installing, have
the electrical system checked, and if necessary
repaired, by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop.
Fusible links
If any electrical equipment does not operate and the
fuses are in good condition, check the fusible links.
If any of these fusible links are melted, replace only
with genuine replacement parts. NDI1692

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.
