2017 RENAULT TWINGO Owners Manual

2.15
ENVIRONMENT
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of
the manufacturer eco² signature.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
a factory which complies with a policy
to reduce the environmental impact
on the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and energy consumption, visual
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste).
Emissions
In usage phase, your vehicle was de-
signed to emit fewer greenhouse gases
(CO2) and therefore consume less fuel.
Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a cata-
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter pre-
vents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).
Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too
– Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations.
– At the end of the vehicle’s service life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis- lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).

2.16
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/9)
If fitted on the vehicle, this system
warns the driver of pressure loss in one
or several tyres.
A
System identification
There are two tyre pressure loss warn-
ing systems:
– System A: can be seen on the
label A in the vehicle. To verify its
presence, open the driver’s door.
– System B: can be seen on the
label A in the vehicle.

2.17
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (2/9)
1
SYSTEM A
Operating principle
This system detects a loss of pressure
in one of the tyres by measuring the
wheel speed while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punctu-
red tyre, etc.).
Operating conditions
The system should be reset with an
inflation pressure equal to that given
on the tyre inflation pressure label.
Otherwise it risks not giving a reliable
warning in the event of a significant loss
of pressure. Please refer to the informa-
tion on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4.
In the following situations, the system
risk coming into action late or not func-
tioning correctly:
– system not reset after reinflation or any operation on the wheels;
– system badly reset: different inflation pressures from the recommended
pressures;
– significant change in load or distribu- tion of load on one side of the vehi-
cle;
– sporty driving with strong accelera- tion;
– driving on snowy or slippery surface; – driving with snow chains;
– fitting a single new tyre;
– use of tyres not approved by the net-
work.
– ...
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.

2.18
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (3/9)
SYSTEM A (cntd.)
Resetting the standard level for the
tyre pressures
This should be done:
– after each reinflation or readjustment of the pressure of one of the tyres;
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after changing a wheel;
– after using the tyre inflation kit;
– after swapping a wheel (however, this practice is not recommended).
It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).

Resetting procedure
With the ignition on, depending on the
vehicle:
– repeatedly press button 2 or 3 to
select the “SET
” warning light
on the display B;
– press and hold (around 3 seconds) button 2 or 3 to start initialisation.
When the “SET
” warning light
flashes for around five seconds, this
indicates that the reset request for
the tyre pressure reference value
has been taken into account. Or
– repeatedly press the button 2
to
select the “SET
” warning light
on the display B;
– press and hold (around 3 seconds) the button 2 to start initialisation. The
flashing, lasting around five seconds,
followed by a constant display of the
“SET
” indicates that the reset
request for the tyre pressure refer-
ence value has been taken into ac-
count.
Reinitialisation is carried out after a few
minutes’ driving.

System unavailable
Warning light
 1 flashes for sev-
eral seconds, then stays on.
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (4/9)
The sudden loss of pressure in a
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.
SYSTEM A (cntd.)
Inflate tyres and reset
The
 1 warning light comes on
(not flashing).
This indicates that at least one tyre is
flat or punctured.
In the event of a flat tyre, inflate the re-
levant tyre.
In the event of a puncture, change the
tyre or consult an authorised dealer.
Check and readjust the pressure of the
four tyres when cold, and launch the
reinitialisation of the tyre pressure refe-
rence value. Warning light

1 goes out after
launching the reset of the tyre pressure
reference value.
System to be checked
Warning light
 1 flashes for sev-
eral seconds, then stays on. This warn-
ing light appears along with the
©
warning light.
They indicate a system fault. Please
consult an authorised dealer.

2.20
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (5/9)
SYSTEM A (cntd.)
Readjustment of tyre pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted
when cold (please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures should be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
After each reinflation or readjustment of
the tyre pressure, launch the reinitiali-
sation of the tyre pressure reference
value.
Replacing wheels/tyres
Only use equipment approved by the
brand network, or the system risks
being activated late or not operating
correctly. Please see the information on
“Tyres” in Section 5.
After each change of wheel/tyre, read-
just the tyre pressure and launch the
reinitialisation of the tyre pressure ref-
erence value. Tyre repair product and inflation kit
Only use equipment approved by the
brand network, or the system risks
being activated late or not operating
correctly. Please refer to “Tyre inflation
kit” in Section 5.
After using the tyre inflation kit, readjust
the tyre pressure and launch the reini-
tialisation of the tyre pressure reference
value.

2.21
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (6/9)
SYSTEM B
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punctu-
red tyre, etc.).
