SRS air bag warning light
The supplemental air bag warning light, displaying in the instrument panel, monitors the circuits
for the air bag systems, pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem (where fitted) and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
SRS air bag warning light illuminates for about 7
seconds and then turns off. This indicates that the
SRS air bag systems are operational.
Have the air bag systems and/or pre-tensioner seat
belt systems serviced at the nearest approved dealer
or qualified workshop if any of the following condi-
tions occur:
• The SRS air bag warning light remains on after
approximately
7seconds. •
The SRS air bag warning light flashes intermit-
tently.
• The SRS air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag and/or pre-
tensioner seat belt system may not operate prop-
erly. They must be checked and repaired. Contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop immedi-
ately. SP A1097Z
Safety—seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-35

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper supplemental driver’s knee air bag
system operation.
Supplemental side-impact air bag
system (where fitted)
The supplemental side-impact air bag is located at
the outside of the front seats’ seatbacks.
The supplemental side-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity side collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of ahigher severity side
impact. It may not inflate in certain side collisions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper supplemental side-impact air bag
system operation. Supplemental curtain side-impact air
bag system (where fitted)
The supplemental curtain side-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the roof rails.
The supplemental curtain side-impact air bag sys-
tem is designed to inflate in higher severity side col-
lisions, although it may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of ahigher se-
verity side impact. It may not inflate in certain side
collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not al-
ways an indication of proper supplemental curtain
side-impact air bag system operation.
PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT
SYSTEM (where fitted) WARNING
• The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reused
after activation. It must be replaced together
with the retractor and buckle as aunit.
• If the vehicle becomes involved in
acollision
but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sure
to have the pre-tensioner system checked
and, if necessary, replaced by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop.
• No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system. This is to prevent accidental
activation of the pre-tensioner seat belt or
damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem. •
Work around or on the pre-tensioner seat belt
system should be done by an approved dealer
or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring should
not be modified or disconnected. Unautho-
rised electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt system.
• If you need to dispose of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system, or scrap the vehicle, contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop.
Correct pre-tensioner disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate maintenance
service manual. Incorrect disposal proce-
dures could cause personal injury.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the front seat
belt’s retractor and anchor. These seat belts are
used the same as conventional seat belts.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates, afairly
loud noise may be heard, followed by the release of
smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does not indi-
cate afire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as
it may cause irritation and choking. Those with ahis-
tory of abreathing condition should get fresh air
promptly. SSS1092Z

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.

2-18 Instruments and controls

How to activate system (where fitted)
1. Close all windows.
The system can be armed even if the windows
are open.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
3. Carry the integrated key fob or the Remote Con- trol Key with you and get out of the vehicle.
4. Close and lock all doors. The doors can be locked with the integrated key fob, the Remote
Control Key, door handle request switch (where
fitted), power door lock switch or mechanical
key.
5. Confirm that the security indicator light comes on. The security indicator light glows for about
30 seconds and then blinks. The system is now
activated. If, during this 30 second time period,
the door is unlocked or the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position, the system
will not activate.
Even when the driver and/or passengers are in
the vehicle, the system will activate with all doors
locked with the ignition switch in the LOCK posi-
tion. When pushing the ignition switch to the ACC
or ON position, the system will be released.
Theft warning system operation
The vehicle security system will give the following
alarm:
• The hazard indicator blinks and the horn sounds
intermittently. •
The alarm automatically turns off after approxi-
mately 30 seconds. However, the alarm reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm is activated by:
• Unlocking the door without using the integrated
key fob, the Remote Control Key, the door handle
request switch (where fitted) or the mechanical
key. (Even if the door is opened by releasing the
door inside lock knob, the alarm will activate.)
How to stop alarm
• The alarm will stop only by unlocking
adoor by
pushing the UNLOCK button on the Remote
Control Key.
• The alarm will not stop if the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position.
ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (ATS)
The Anti-Theft System (ATS) will not allow the en-
gine to start without the use of the registered ATS
key.
If the engine does not start using the registered ATS
key, it may be due to interference caused by:
• Another ATS key.
• Automated toll road device.
• Automated payment device.
• Other devices that transmit similar signals. Start the engine using the following procedure:
1. Remove any items that may be causing the inter-
ference away from the ATS key.
2. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for approximately 5seconds.
3. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately 10 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 2and 3again.
5. Start the engine.
6. Repeat the steps above until all possible interfer- ences are eliminated.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
RENAULT recommends placing the registered ATS
key separate from other devices to avoid interfer-
ence.
If ATS is malfunctioning, this light will remain on
while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
If the light remains on and/or the engine does
not start, contact an approved dealer or qualified
workshop for ATS service as soon as possible.
Be sure to bring all Remote Control Keys that you
have when visiting an approved dealer for ser-
vice.
