2018 RENAULT MASTER oil change

2.48
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (4/5)
Operation in automatic mode
Automatic mode is selected by default
every time the ignition is switched on.
The letter A appears on the display.
The vehicle is controlled using the ac-
celerator and the brake. Gears will
change automatically at the correct
moment and at a suitable engine speed
because the automatic mode takes the
road surface and the chosen driving
style into consideration.
Gears may be shifted manually in this
mode. Pushing the lever forwards
or backwards shifts a gear upwards
(except if there is a risk of underrev-
ving) or downwards (except if there is a
risk of overrevving).
Note: automatic mode takes account
of:
– the position and speed of depression of the accelerator pedal to assess
driving style and select the optimum
gear;
– action on the brake pedal, to com- mence engine braking in preparation
for a downshift.
You can stop the vehicle at red lights,
with the gear engaged, by depressing
the brake pedal; there is no need to
change to neutral (N).
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam);
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
Accelerating and overtaking
– Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate gradually;
The oil level in the automatic gear-
box system reservoir varies depend-
ing on use. Adding oil is strictly
forbidden (except by qualified ap-
proved network personnel).
– to obtain maximum vehicle per-
formance regardless of the mode
selected (automatic or manual),
quickly depress the accelerator
pedal beyond the kickdown point.
The speed with which you depress the
pedal will allow you to downshift ac-
cording to the vehicle’s capabilities.
Parking the vehicle
It is possible to park in gear (for exam-
ple, on a slope):
– with the ignition on, select a gear with your foot on the brake ;
– check that a gear other than N is dis- played on the instrument panel, then
remove the ignition key;
– apply the handbrake.
To disengage the gear, switch on the
ignition without starting the engine and
shift the selector lever to neutral with
the brake pedal depressed . Check
that N is displayed on the instrument
panel.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information (1/2)
If the level is at the minimum
The “TOP-UP OIL LEVEL” message
and warning light
© are displayed
on the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
The display only warns the
driver if the oil level is at the
minimum level. It does not
inform the driver that the oil
level has exceeded the maximum
level as this can only be measured
using a dipstick.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact an approved Dealer if
more than 0.5 litres is being consumed
every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the
running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is at
its minimum.

If the level is above the minimum
level
The “OIL LEVEL” message appears on
the display, accompanied by squares
indicating the level. These squares di-
sappear as the level drops and they are
replaced by dashes.
To switch to trip computer reading,
press button 1 or 2 again.

4.6
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is
started up for the first time in the day).
Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.– Unscrew cap
1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca- pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on the dipstick 2
is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depend-
ing on the engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to drain;
– check the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the level is read, ensure that the
dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go
and the cap is completely screwed in.
Do not exceed the MAX level and
do not forget to refit cap 1 and dip-
stick 2.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL : topping up, filling (1/2)
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.

Service interval: refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet for your
vehicle.
Oil change capacity
Please refer to the maintenance docu-
ment for your vehicle, or contact an au-
thorised dealer.
Always check the engine oil level using
the dipstick, as explained previously (it
should never fall below the minimum
level, or be over the maximum level on
the dipstick).
Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.

4.7
Filling: take care when
topping up the oil that
no oil drips onto engine
components - risk of fire.
Remember to refit the cap securely
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes
onto hot engine components.
Engine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL : topping up, filling (2/2)
Please note when work-
ing close to the engine that
it may be hot. In addition,
the engine cooling fan may
start at any moment. The

warning light in the engine compart-
ment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must
be switched off (please see
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level
be exceeded: risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
