2017 RENAULT TRAFIC warning

5.33
TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
The steering wheel must be un-
locked and the ignition key must be
in position M (ignition on) to provide
brake lights and hazard warning
lights on the towed vehicle. At night
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is
being towed.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact an approved dealer.
Never use the drive shafts or axles.
These towing points may only be used
for traction: never use them for lifting
the vehicle directly or indirectly.– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Do not accelerate or brake sud- denly when towing, as this may
result in damage being caused to
the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, do not exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition switch or the
card from the reader during
towing.

OPERATING FAULTS (4/7)
On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
White smoke from the exhaust. In the diesel version, this is necessarily a fault. Smoke may be caused by particle
filter regeneration. Please refer to the information on “Special
features of diesel versions” in Section 2.
Smoke under the vehicle when
starting the heating. This is not necessarily a fault. The smoke
may come from the heater.
If this happens, the smoke will gradually
disappear once the passenger compart-
ment temperature has reached the ap-
propriate level.
Smoke under the bonnet. Short-circuit or cooling system leak. Stop, switch off the ignition, stand away
from the vehicle and contact an approved
dealer.
The oil pressure warning light
comes on: while cornering or braking The level is too low. Top up the engine oil level (refer to the in-
formation on “Engine oil level: topping up,
filling” in Section 4).

Stop the vehicle and contact an approved
Dealer.

5.39
OPERATING FAULTS (5/7)
On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
Steering becomes heavy. Assistance overheating. Consult an approved dealer.
Vibrations. Tyres not inflated to correct pres-
sures, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged. Check the tyre pressures: if this is not the
problem, have them checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
The engine is overheating. The cool-
ant temperature indicator is in the
warning zone and warning light
® comes on. Engine cooling fan not working. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
contact an approved dealer.
Coolant leaks. Check the coolant reservoir: it should con- tain fluid. If there is no coolant, consult an
approved dealer as soon as possible.
Coolant boiling in the coolant reser-
voir. Mechanical fault: damaged cylinder
head gasket. Stop the engine.
Contact an approved dealer.
Radiator:
If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never b\
e topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial drain\
ing of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct p\
roportions. Reminder: only products approved
by our Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
