The following lights (where fitted) will come on briefly
and then go off: , , ,
, ,
, , , , , , (blue and
red)
If any light does not come on, or operates in away
other than described it may indicate aburned-out
bulb and/or asystem malfunction. Have the system
checked, and if necessary repaired, by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
Models with colour display:
Some indicators and warnings are also displayed on
the vehicle information display between the speedo-
meter and tachometer. (See “Indicators for
operation” later in this section.)
WARNING LIGHTS Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light (where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi- nates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational. If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine
is running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS
is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop promptly.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function
is turned off. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.)
While the differential lock (where fitted) is en-
gaged, the ABS warning light illuminates. This
indicates that the anti-lock function is not fully
operating. (See “Rear differential locking system
(where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion for the rear differential lock function.) Automatic Transmission (AT)
check warning light (AT model)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Automatic Transmission (AT) check warning light
illuminates and then turns off. This indicates that the
AT is operational.
If the AT check warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may indicate
that the AT is not functioning properly and may need
servicing. Have the system checked, and if neces-
sary repaired, by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop promptly. Automatic Transmission (AT) oil
temperature warning light (AT
model)
This light illuminates when the Automatic Transmis-
sion (AT) oil temperature is too high. If the light illu-
minates while driving, reduce the vehicle speed as
soon as safely possible until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the AT oil tem-
perature warning light is on may damage the AT. Automatic Transmission (AT)
park warning light (AT model)
This light indicates that the Automatic Transmission
(AT) parking function is not engaged. If the transfer
control is not secured in any driving position while
the AT shift lever is in the P(Park) position, the
transmission will disengage and the wheels will not
lock.
For 4WD model: If the ATP warning light illumi-
nates with the shift lever in the P(Park) position,
shift the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) mode switch to
the 2WD, 4H or 4LO position again with the shift
lever in the N(Neutral) position. (See “4WD mode
switch operation” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.)
2-6 Instruments and controls

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
warning light (where fitted)
When the DPF warning light illuminates, it indicates
that particulate matter is accumulated to the speci- fied amount of the limit in the filter and the filter
needs to regenerate. For filter regeneration details,
see “Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) (where fitted)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
CAUTION
If you continue driving with the DPF warning light
on without performing the filter regeneration, this
will lead to particulate matter overload in the fil-
ter.
If this occurs, then the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) will turn on. The performance of the engine
might be limited to protect the DPF system. See
an approved dealer or qualified workshop to per-
form the service regeneration. Door open warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
door open warning light illuminates if any of the doors
are open or not closed securely. Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) warning light (where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) warning light illuminates and then turns off. The warning light blinks when the ESP system is
operating.
When the warning light blinks while driving, the driv-
ing condition is slippery and the vehicle’s traction
limit is about to be exceeded.
If the ESP warning light illuminates while the engine
is running or while driving, it may indicate that the
ESP system is not functioning properly and may
need servicing. Have the system checked, and if
necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop promptly. If amalfunction occurs, the
ESP function is turned off, but the vehicle is still driv-
able. (See “Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
system (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.) Engine oil pressure warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
engine oil pressure warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the engine oil pressure warning
light turns off. This indicates that the oil pressure
sensors in the engine are operational.
If the engine oil pressure warning light illuminates or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate
that the engine oil pressure is low.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Stop
the engine immediately and call an approved dealer
or qualified workshop. CAUTION
• Running the engine with the engine oil pres-
sure warning light illuminated could cause se-
rious damage to the engine.
• The engine oil pressure warning light is not
designed to indicate
alow oil level. The oil
level should be checked using the dipstick.
(See “Checking engine oil level” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.) Engine temperature warning
light (red/blue) (where fitted)
High temperature indicator light (Red):
The red warning light comes on when the engine
overheats. WARNING
If the high temperature warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the
engine temperature is extremely high. Stop the
vehicle safely as soon as possible. If the vehicle
is overheated, continuing vehicle operation may
seriously damage the engine.
• If the engine coolant temperature warning
light (RED) comes on while driving, stop the
vehicle as soon as possible and contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
• When towing
atrailer or driving uphill, reduce
the vehicle speed as soon as safely possible
to decrease the engine coolant temperature.

When
aspare tyre is mounted or
awheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
low tyre pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1minute. The light will remain
on after 1minute. Contact an approved dealer
or qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre replacement and/or system resetting.
• Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by RENAULT could affect the proper op-
eration of the TPMS.
CAUTION
• The TPMS is not
asubstitute for the regular
tyre pressure check. Be sure to check the tyre
pressure regularly.
• If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less

(where fitted)
The low washer fluid warning light illuminates when
the washer fluid in the reservoir is at alow level. Add
washer fluid as necessary. (See “Window washer
fluid” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion.) Malfunction warning light (red)
(where fitted)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the malfunction warning light illuminates in red.
This means that the system is operational. After
starting the engine, the warning light turns off.
For the orange Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL),
see “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” later in this
section for details.
If the malfunction warning light (red) illuminates con-
tinuously while the engine is running, it may indicate
an engine control system malfunction. Have your
vehicle inspected by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continuing vehicle operation without proper ser-
vicing of the engine control system could lead to
poor driveability, reduced fuel economy, and
damage to the engine control system, which may
affect the vehicle’s warranty coverage. Master warning light (where
