SEAT BELTS

The following information applies to both the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

- No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and theirmountings) fitted originally.

Contact your RENAULT Dealer for special operations (e.g. fitting child seats).

- Do not use devices which give any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.), as a seat belt which is worn tooloosely risks causing injury in the event of an accident.

- Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.

- Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt aroundthem.

- The belt should never be twisted.

- Following a serious accident the seat belts in use at the time must be replaced. Always replace your seat belts as soonas they show any signs of wear.

- When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be usedproperly.

- If necessary, readjust the position and tension of the belt.

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO FRONT SEAT BELTS

PretensionersWith the ignition on, if the vehicle issubjected to a severe frontal impact,piston 1 immediately retracts theseat belt buckle, pulling the seat beltagainst the body and therebyincreasing its efficiency.

These are:- pretensioners (described below),

- force limiter,

- driver’s and passenger airbags(described on the following pages).

These systems are designed to actindependently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontalimpact.There are three possibilities,depending on the force of theimpact:- protection is provided by the belt

only;- the pretensioner is triggered to

rectify belt position and take upslack in the belt;

- the airbag and the force limiter arealso triggered when there aresevere impacts.

- Have the entire restraintsystem checked followingan accident.

- No operation whatsoever ispermitted on any part of thepretensioner system (computer,wiring) and the system componentsmust not be reused on any othervehicle, even if identical.

- Only qualified RENAULTpersonnel may work on thepretensioner system; otherwisethe system may triggeraccidentally and cause injury.

- The electric trigger system mayonly be tested by a speciallytrained technician using specialequipment.

- When scrapping your vehicle,contact your RENAULT Dealer fordisposal of the gas generator.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)

Driver and passenger airbagsAn airbag may be provided for boththe driver and the front passenger.Airbag markings on the steeringwheel, the dashboard and the lowersection of the windscreen informyou of the presence of thisequipment.

Each airbag system consists of:- an airbag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for the driverand in the dashboard for the frontpassenger;

- a computer for both systems,which includes the impact sensorand a monitor controlling theelectrical trigger system for the gasgenerator;

- a single å indicator light

on the instrument panel.

Force limiterAbove a certain level of impact, thismechanism is used to limit the forceof the belt against the body so that itis at an acceptable level.

The airbag system uses theprinciples of pyrotechnics. Thisexplains why, when the airbaginflates, it will generate heat,produce smoke (this does notmean that a fire is about to start)and make a noise upondetonation. In a situation wherean airbag is required, it willinflate immediately and this maycause some minor, superficialgrazing to the skin or otherdiscomfort.

Driver and passenger airbags(continued)OperationThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.If a severe frontal impact occurs, theairbag(s) inflate(s) rapidly,cushioning the impact of the driver’shead and chest against the steeringwheel and the front passenger’shead against the dashboard. Theairbag(s) then deflate(s) immediatelyso that the passengers are notimpeded in any way when leavingthe vehicle.

Depending on the vehicle, thepassenger airbag system is linked toa front passenger airbag deactivationwarning light 2 on the instrumentpanel. This warning light is linkedto the passenger airbag deactivationsystem through the ignition key.It lights up to indicate that thepassenger airbag will not be inflatedin the event of an impact (refer tothe section on Deactivating the frontpassenger airbag).

Operating faultsWarning light 1 will light up on theinstrument panel when the ignitionis switched on and then will go outafter a few seconds.If it does not light up when theignition is switched on or if itflashes, there is a fault in the system.Consult your RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible. Your protectionwill be reduced until this fault isrectified.

NU750_2_G1-FRA.qxd 28/07/05 13:22 Page 1.31

1.31


All of the warnings below are givenso that the airbag is not obstructedin any way when it is inflated andalso to prevent the risk of seriousinjuries caused by items which maybe dislodged when the airbaginflates.

Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag- Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.- Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.

- Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to thesteering wheel boss.

- The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel fromthe RENAULT network).

- When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your armsslightly bent (see Adjusting your driving position in Section 1). This willallow sufficient space for the airbag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings for passenger airbag: location A- Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to

the dashboard in the proximity of the airbag housing.- Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet,

umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).- The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is

a risk that serious injuries may be sustained. In general, parts of the bodyshould be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head etc.)

- You should reactivate the airbag as soon as you remove the child seat fromthe front passenger seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger in theevent of an impact.

FITTING A REAR FACING CHILD SEAT TO THE PASSENGER SEAT IS PROHIBITED UNLESS THE METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITIONTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT HAVE BEEN DEACTIVATED(Refer to the information on Deactivating passenger airbags in Section 1).


NU750_2_G1-FRA.qxd 28/07/05 13:22 Page 1.32

1.32

LATERAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENTSide airbagsThis airbag may be fitted to each ofthe front seats and is activated at thesides of the seats (door side) toprotect the occupants in the event ofa severe side impact.

A marking on the windscreeninforms you of the presence ofadditional means of restraint(airbags, pretensioners, etc.) inthe passenger compartment.

Warnings concerning the lateral airbag- Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers

specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact your RENAULT Dealerto find out if these covers may be purchased from RENAULT

accessory outlets. The use of any covers other than those designed for yourvehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may affect theoperation of these airbags and reduce your protection.

- Do not place any accessories, objects or animals between the seatback and thedoor. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as clothes or accessories.This may prevent the airbag from operating correctly or cause injury whenthe airbag is deployed.

- Only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may remove or modify a seat.

- These airbags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): neverinsert any objects in these slits.


NU750_2_G1-FRA.qxd 28/07/05 13:22 Page 1.33

1.33

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also toprevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags and seat belts are integral partsof the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, theoccupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk ofminor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always

possible with airbags.

If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are notalways triggered. Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, from pavements, potholes, stones etc. can all trigger thesesystems.

- No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the driver or passenger airbag system (computer,wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.

- To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may causeinjury, only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the airbag system.

- As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen orbroken into.

- If the vehicle is lent or resold, inform the new driver of these conditions and pass on the current driver’s handbook.

- When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).


NU750_2_G1-FRA.qxd 28/07/05 13:22 Page 1.34

CHILD SAFETYIn all countries there are regulationsgoverning the use of restraints forchildren and babies.In Europe, children under 10 yearsof age(1) must be seated in anapproved safety device which issuitable for the weight and size ofthe child.The driver is responsible forensuring that this equipment is usedcorrectly.Child restraints for which typeapproval was obtained after January1992 offer a level of safety muchgreater than for restraints with typeapproval before that date.It is therefore advisable to select achild restraint that complies withEuropean regulation ECE 44.Restraints that comply with thislegislation must be marked with anorange label bearing the letter Efollowed by a number (whichrepresents the country where it istype approved) and the year inwhich the type approval wasgranted.

Refer to the Child safety equipmentbooklet available from theRENAULT Network to choose theseat suited to your child andrecommended for your vehicle.

There are some passenger seats onwhich the installation of childseats is forbidden. To find out theauthorised seats and types of childseats that can be installed in eachof the authorised seats, refer to thetables on the following pages.

Before installing a child seat in thefront seat (if installation is permitted)If fitted to the passenger seat, carryout the following adjustments:- move the passenger seat as far back

as possible,- set the seatback to its fully upright

position,- raise the seat base as far as

possible,- lower the headrest to its lowest

setting,- move the seat belt height control to

the low position.

(1) You must always comply with thelaws of the country in which you aretravelling. They may be different tothe guidelines in this handbook.

Remember that a collision at 30mph (50 km/h) is the same asfalling a distance of 10 metres.Expressed in other terms,transporting a child without arestraint is the equivalent ofallowing him or her to play on afourth-floor balcony withoutrailings.

Under no circumstancesshould babies or children beallowed to travel sitting onthe knees of another

passenger in the vehicle.If a frontal impact occurs at 30 mph(50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kg(66 lbs) will be transformed into amissile equivalent to one ton: youwill find it impossible to hold thechild, even if you yourself arewearing a belt.It is particularly dangerous to putthe belt round your child when heor she is sitting on your lap. Neveruse the belt for more than oneperson at the same time.

The right choiceThe safety of your children is alsoyour responsibility.To ensure that your child has themaximum possible protection, werecommend that you use seatsapproved by the RENAULTNetwork.Restraint systems for all thecategories are available. Thesesystems have been developed inconsultation with the manufacturersand have been tested in RENAULTvehicles.Contact your RENAULT Dealer andask him to help you install it.

Categories 0 and 0+ (0 to 13 kg(0 to 29 lbs))A child’s neck is very susceptible toinjury up to the age of two. It ispreferable to put your child into arear facing enclosing shell seat. Thisposition enhances safety.

Category 1 (9 to 18 kg (20 to 40lbs))Between the ages of 2 and 4, achild’s pelvis is not fully developed.Restraints using the vehicle’s three-point belts are not adequate andthere is also a risk that the child willsustain abdominal injuries in theevent of a frontal impact. It istherefore advisable to use a buckettype seat that restrains the child bymeans of a harness or shockabsorbing pad.

To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you useRENAULT approved accessories because they are designed for yourvehicle and are the only accessories for which RENAULT willprovide a warranty.


NU750_2_G1-FRA.qxd 28/07/05 13:22 Page 1.40

1.40


Category 2 (15 kg (33 lbs) to 25kg (55 lbs)) and category 3 (22kg (48 lbs) to 36 kg (79 lbs))To correctly restrain the pelvis of achild under 10 years, less than 1.36m tall and weighing less than 36 kg(79 lbs), preferably use a raised seatwith belt guides that ensure that thethree-point belt lies flat over thechild’s thighs.

A booster seat with a height-adjustable seatback and a belt guideare recommended as this will allowthe belt to be worn as close to thebase of the neck as possible but noton it.Place the back of the child seatfirmly against the vehicle seatback.Adjust the height of the headrest orremove it if necessary.If a booster seat without a seatbackis used, the vehicle’s headrest willhave to be adjusted to suit thechild’s stature; the upper edge of theheadrest must be at the same heightas the top of the child’s head andshould never be lower than in linewith the child’s eyes.

The standard classifies the childrestraints in five categories:

Category 0 : 0 to 10 kg (0 to 22 lbs)

Category 0+ : 0 to 13 kg(0 to 29 lbs)

Category 1 : 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs)

Category 2 : 15 kg to 25 kg(33 to 55 lbs)

Category 3 : 22 kg to 36 kg(48 to 79 lbs)

DANGERIt is forbidden to install arear facing child seat on thefront passenger seat if the

vehicle is fitted with a frontpassenger airbag. The child maysuffer very serious injuries if theairbag inflates.The label (on the dashboard) andmarking (on the front passenger sunvisor) remind you of theseinstructions.

CHILD SAFETY- No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts, seats and their mountings)

originally fitted.

- Carefully follow the instructions for fitting provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.

- Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any objects between the child and the restraintsystem.

- The seat belt in the vehicle must be tight enough that the child seat is held in position securely. Check the tensionregularly.

- Never pass the belt under the arm or behind the back.

- The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child’s size.

- Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the vehicle is moving.

- Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, especially if asleep.

- Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident were to occur, it maybecome dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.

- Following a serious accident, have the seat belts and restraint systems in use at the time checked.

- You should never leave a child unattended in a vehicle, even in the restraint device.

- Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with these).

Display selection key 3Keep pressing key 3 briefly to scrollthrough the following informationin sequence:a) total mileage recorder,b) trip mileage recorder,c) fuel used,d) average fuel consumption,e) current fuel consumption

(depending on vehicle),f) estimated range,g) distance covered,h) average speed,i) programmed speed (speed

limiter/cruise control).Refer to the table on the followingpage for display examples.

Interpreting values displayedafter resetting:The values showing average fuelconsumption, range and averagespeed will become more stable andreliable the further you travel sincethe last time the reset key waspressed.

For the first few miles after pressingthe reset key you will notice:- that the range increases as you

travel. This is normal; average fuelconsumption may decrease when:- the vehicle stops accelerating,- the engine reaches its operating

temperature (engine cold whenreset button pressed),

- when driving from a built-uparea onto the open road.

Therefore, if the average fuelconsumption decreases, the rangewill increase.

- You may also notice that theaverage fuel consumptionincreases when the vehicle isstationary and the engine idling.This is normal since the computertakes account of fuel used duringidling.

Note: resetting is automatic whenthe maximum capacity of any of thememories is exceeded.

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE

Windscreen wiper fWith the ignition on, move stalk 1 parallel to the steering wheel:

- A Off

- B Intermittent wiping.The wipers will pause forseveral seconds between sweeps.

- C Normal wiping speed.

- D Fast wiping speed.

Windscreen washer mWith the ignition on, pull stalk E towards you.A short press triggers one sweepcycle of the wiper.A longer press triggers four sweepsfollowed by a final sweep afterseveral seconds.

In frosty weather, make sure thatthe wiper blades are not stuck byice (to avoid the risk of the motoroverheating).Keep an eye on the condition ofthe blades. Replace the wiperblades as soon as they begin tolose efficiency (approximatelyonce a year).Clean your windscreen regularly.If you switch off the ignitionbefore switching off thewindscreen wiper (position A)the blades will stop at random onthe windscreen.Switch on the ignition again andjust move stalk 1 to position A toreturn the wipers to the parkposition.

Special noteWhen driving, the wiping speed isreduced every time the vehiclestops. The speed will change fromfast wipe speed to normal wipespeed.As soon as the vehicle moves off,wiping will return to the speedoriginally selected.Any action on stalk 1 overrides andcancels automatic operation.

FUEL TANK (continued)

Filling up with fuelPetrol versionsUse unleaded petrol only.Using leaded petrol will damage theanti-pollution devices and may leadto a loss of warranty.To ensure the fuel tank is not filledwith leaded petrol, the fuel tankfiller neck contains a restrictor fittedwith a valve which only allows thenozzle for unleaded petrol to beused (at the pump).- Insert the nozzle as far as it will go

to open the valve.- Keep the nozzle in this position

throughout the entire fillingoperation.

Filling up with fuel (continued)Petrol and diesel versionsNo more than two filling operationsmay be made after the fuel feed hasswitched off automatically for thefirst time because there must besufficient space in the fuel tank toallow for expansion.

Diesel versionUse diesel engine fuel only. Makesure that no water accidentallyenters the fuel tank during filling.The fuel filler cap and neck must beclean and dust-free. The diesel fuelmust be of a high grade.

Persistent fuel odourIf you notice a persistent fuelodour you should:- stop the vehicle when traffic

conditions allow and switch off theignition,

- switch on the hazard warninglights and ask your passengers toleave the vehicle and to keep awayfrom the traffic;

- refrain from working on orrestarting the vehicle before it hasbeen inspected by qualified stafffrom the RENAULT Network.

No modifications whatso-ever are permitted on anypart of the fuel supplysystem (computers,

wiring, fuel circuit, injector,protection covers, etc.) as thismay be dangerous (such workmust be undertaken by qualifiedRENAULT Network personnel).

SPECIAL NOTES ON PETROL VERSIONSThe following operating conditionsshould be avoided:- driving for long periods when the

low fuel level warning light is litup,

- using leaded petrol,- using oil or fuel supplements

which are not approved byRENAULT,

or operating faults such as:- faulty ignition, running out of fuel

or spark plug disconnectedresulting in engine misfire andsnatching when driving,

- loss of power,as they may cause the catalyticconverter to overheat and thusreduce its efficiency, or destroy itand cause heat damage to thevehicle.

If you notice any of the above faults,have the necessary repairs carriedout as soon as possible by yourRENAULT Dealer.These faults may be avoided byregularly taking your vehicle to yourRENAULT Dealer at the intervalsspecified in your Warranty andServicing booklet.

Starting faultsTo avoid damaging the catalyticconverter, do not keep trying to startthe engine (using the start button, orby pushing or towing the vehicle)without having identified andcorrected the starting fault.If the fault cannot be identified, donot continue to try to start theengine, contact a RENAULT Dealer.

Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such as grassor leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONSDiesel engine speedDiesel engines are fitted withinjection equipment incorporating amechanical regulator whichprevents overrevving of the engineirrespective of the gear engaged.

Running out of fuelIf the fuel tank has been drainedcompletely, you may start theengine normally after refilling thefuel tank provided that the battery iswell charged.However, if after a few seconds andseveral attempts the engine fails tostart, contact a RENAULT Dealer.

Precautions to be taken inwinterTo avoid any faults in icy weather:- ensure that the battery is always

fully charged.- always keep the diesel tank

relatively full to avoid watervapour condensing in it andaccumulating at the bottom of thetank.

Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such as grassor leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.

ADVICE ON FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVINGRENAULT is actively striving toreduce pollutant exhaust gasemissions and to save energy.By virtue of its design, moderate fuelconsumption and initial settings,your RENAULT conforms to currentanti-pollution regulations. Technicaldesign, however, cannot achieve all.The fuel consumption of yourvehicle and the level of pollutantexhaust gas emissions are very muchwithin your control. Make sure thatyour vehicle is maintained correctly,and is driven carefully.

MaintenanceIt should be noted that failure torespect anti-pollution regulationsmay lead to legal action being takenagainst the vehicle owner. Inaddition, replacing engine, fuelsupply system and exhaustcomponents with parts other thanthose originally recommended bythe manufacturer may alter yourvehicle so that it no longer complieswith anti-pollution regulations.Have your vehicle checked andadjusted by your RENAULT Dealerin accordance with the instructionsin the vehicle’s Warranty andServicing booklet.Your RENAULT Dealer has all theequipment necessary for ensuringthat your vehicle is maintained to itsoriginal standard.

Engine adjustments- ignition: this does not require

adjustment.

- spark plugs: for optimum fueleconomy, efficiency andperformance the specifications laiddown by our Design Departmentmust be strictly applied.If the spark plugs have to bechanged, use the make, type andgap specified for your vehicle’sengine. Contact your RENAULTDealer for this information.

- idling speed: this does not requireadjustment.

- air filter, diesel filter: a cloggedelement hinders performance andmust be replaced.


NU750_2_G2-FRA.qxd 25/07/05 9:45 Page 2.07

2.07

ADVICE ON EMISSION CONTROL, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)

Driving- Drive carefully for the first few

miles until the engine reaches itsnormal operating temperature,rather than let it warm up whilethe vehicle is stationary.

- Speed is expensive.- Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel:

drive with a light right foot.

Exhaust gas monitoring systemThe exhaust gas monitoring systemwill detect any malfunctioning ofthe vehicle’s exhaust gas anti-pollution system.If this system malfunctions, toxicsubstances may be released into theatmosphere or damage may occur.

ä This instrument panelwarning light shows anysystem faults:

This comes on when the ignition isswitched on and goes out after threeseconds.- If it comes on continuously,

contact your RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible.

- If it flashes, reduce the enginespeed until the light stops flashing.Consult your RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible.

- Brake as little as possible. If youanticipate obstacles or bends aheadof you it will be sufficient just tolift your foot off the accelerator.

- Avoid sharp acceleration.- Do not overrev the engine in the

intermediate gears. Always use thehighest gear possible withoutlabouring the engine.

- Do not try to maintain the samespeed up a hill, accelerate no morethan you would on the level. Keepyour foot in the same position onthe accelerator pedal.

- Double declutching and acceleratingbefore switching off are unnecessaryin modern vehicles.

- Bad weather, flooded roadsDo not drive throughfloods if the depth ofwater is above the loweredge of the wheel rims.

ADVICE ON EMISSION CONTROL, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)

General advice- Electricity is fuel: switch off all

electrical components when youno longer need them.However (safety first), keep yourlights on when the visibility is bad(see and be seen).

- Use the air vents. Driving at 60 mph(100 km/h) with the windows openwill increase fuel consumption by4%.

- Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys withlong waits in between) because theengine never reaches its normaloperating temperature.

Tyres- Inadequate pressures may increase

fuel consumption.- The use of non-recommended tyres

can increase fuel consumption.

- In air conditioned vehicles, it isnormal to observe an increase infuel consumption (especially incity conditions) when it is used.Switch off the air conditioningwhen it is not required on vehiclesfitted with manual airconditioning.

Some advice for reducingconsumption and therefore helpingto preserve the environment:- it is advisable to drive with the vents

open and the windows closed.- If the vehicle has been parked in

the sun, open the doors for a fewmoments to let the hot air escapebefore starting the engine.

- Never fill the fuel tank right to thebrim to avoid overflow.

- Do not leave an empty roof rackfitted to the vehicle.

- It is better to fit a trailer for bulkyobjects.

- When towing a caravan, fit a winddeflector and adjust it carefully.

ENVIRONMENTYour vehicle has been designed withthe aim of caring for theenvironment.- Most versions are equipped with

an anti-pollution system includinga catalytic converter, an oxygensensor and an active carbon filter(the latter prevents vapour fromthe fuel tank being released intothe open air.)

- These vehicles operate withunleaded fuel only.

- 87% of the components on yourvehicle are recyclable parts andsome parts are made of recycledmaterials (as shown in the diagramopposite).

- 95% of the plastic components inyour vehicle are marked with asymbol which allows the principalcomponent material to beidentified. These markings meanthat parts removed can be sortedmore easily, making it easier torecycle them.

In addition to this, your vehiclemeets the requirements laid down inEuropean legislation relating toenvironmental protection.

Make your contribution towardsprotection of the environment too.Do not dispose of parts replaced inthe course of routine vehiclemaintenance (battery, oil filter, airfilter, etc.) and oil containers (emptyor full of used oil) with householdwaste.Dispose of them through specialistorganisations. In all cases, complywith local legislation.

GEAR LEVER HANDBRAKE POWER STEERING

To select reverse gear (vehiclestationary)Move the lever to neutral, then liftup ring 1 against the gear lever knobto enable selection of reverse gear.The reversing lights will light up assoon as reverse gear is selected (withthe ignition on).

If you have power assisted steeringfitted, do not leave the steeringwheel at full lock when the vehicleis parked as this may damage thepump.

To release:Pull up the lever slightly, pressbutton 2 and then lower the lever tothe floor.The red warning light on theinstrument panel will light up if youare driving with an incorrectlyreleased handbrake.

To apply:Pull upwards, check that the vehicleis properly immobilised.

When driving, check thatthe handbrake iscompletely released, asthis risks overheating.

Depending on the slopeand/or vehicle load, itmay be necessary to applythe brake by two

additional notches and select agear (1st or reverse) for vehicleswith a manual gearbox orposition P for vehicles with anautomatic gearbox.

Never switch off theignition when travellingdownhill, and avoiddoing so in normal

driving (power steering and brakeservo will not function).

2.11

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

Under heavy braking, the system hastwo principal aims; to reduce thestopping distance and keep yourvehicle under control. However,there is a risk that roadholding andsteering control may be lost and thewheels may lock under braking,depending on the nature of theground, weather conditions andyour reactions. The Anti-lockBraking System (ABS) has beendesigned to combat this danger.The safety enhancement is that thebrake control system prevents thewheels from locking, even if thebrakes are applied too sharply, andallows the vehicle to be steered andthus its direction to be controlled.Under these circumstances it isquite possible for the driver to steerthe vehicle and to avoid an obstaclewhilst at the same time applying thebrake. This system also allows youto optimise stopping distances whenthe grip of one or more wheels maybe lost (wet roads, slippery orvarying road surfaces).

Although this system allows you tomake maximum use of stoppingdistances, even with the ABS youstill have to take account of theactual condition of the road surface.It is still essential to follow the rulesof good driving practice (such asdriving at a safe distance from thevehicle in front). The fact that thevehicle’s safety has been increasedshould not encourage you to takerisks.You will feel pulsing through thebrake pedal when the system hasbeen activated. These tangible signswill warn you that the grip of thetyres on the ground has reached itslimit and enable you to adapt yourdriving style to suit the roadconditions.

Operating faultsTwo possible situations may occur:

1 - The x warning light onthe instrument panel is lit.Braking is still performed, butwithout the ABS system. Contacta RENAULT Dealer as soon aspossible.

2 - The x and dwarning lights on theinstrument panel are lit.

This indicates that both thebraking system and the ABSsystem are faulty. Your brakingsystems are only partiallyoperational. However, it isdangerous to brake suddenly andit is essential to stop immediately,as soon as traffic conditionsallow. Contact a RENAULTDealer.

The braking modulation provided by the ABS is independent of the effort applied to the brake pedal. In an emergency,apply firm and continuous pressure to the brake pedal There is no need to pump it repeatedly.


NU750_2_G2-FRA.qxd 25/07/05 9:45 Page 2.12

2.12

EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSISTThis system is complementary toABS and helps reduce vehiclestopping distances.

Operating principleThe system detects an emergencybraking situation by means of asensor which measures the speedwith which the brake pedal isdepressed. In this case, emergencybrake assist instantly reaches itsmaximum power and allows ABSregulation to be reached as quicklyas possible.ABS braking is maintained as longas the brake pedal is not released.

Hazard warning lightsswitching onThese can light up in the event ofrapid deceleration.

This function is anadditional aid in case ofcritical driving conditionsto enable the vehicle

behaviour to be adapted to suit thedriving conditions.However, the function does not takethe place of the driver. It does notincrease the vehicle’s limits andshould not encourage you to drivemore quickly.Therefore, it can, under nocircumstances, replace thevigilance or responsibility of thedriver when manoeuvring thevehicle (the driver must always beready for sudden incidents whichmay occur when driving).

This function is an additional driving aid. However, the function does not take the place of the driver. Thus, itcan, under no circumstances, replace the driver’s responsibility to respect speed limits and to be vigilant (thedriver must always be ready to brake). Cruise control must not be used in heavy traffic, on undulating orslippery roads (black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during inclement weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.). There

is a risk of accident.

Air conditioning controlsControl D switches the airconditioning system on and off.The system will not operate if airflow control C is in position 0.

Using the air conditioning systemenables you to:- lower the internal passenger

compartment temperature;- eliminating condensation more

quickly.In very hot weather or when thevehicle has been parked in the sun,open the doors for a few moments tolet the hot air escape before startingthe engine.

Position 0The air conditioning is notoperating.In this position, ventilation is thesame as for a vehicle without airconditioning.

Position tAir conditioning is in normal mode.Air is taken from outside thevehicle, providing a continuoussupply of fresh air.

If no cold air is producedCheck that the controls are setcorrectly and that the fuses aresound. If not, switch off the airconditioning system (control D at 0)and contact a RENAULT Dealer.

3.09


Position eThe air conditioning is at maximumoperation.In this position, air is taken from thepassenger compartment andrecirculated without taking in airfrom the outside.When the system is set in thisposition, it allows you to lower thetemperature in the passengercompartment more quickly and toisolate yourself from the externalatmosphere (driving in pollutedareas, etc.).

Prolonged use of the airrecirculation mode may cause thewindows to mist up or lead toodours, as the air is not replaced.It is therefore advisable to movecontrol D to the normal operationposition, as soon as the desiredtemperature is reached inside thepassenger compartment or ifisolation of the passengercompartment from theoutside is no longer required. t

Do not open the refrigerantfluid circuit. This isdangerous for the eyes.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating advice

Fuel consumptionYou will normally notice anincrease in fuel consumption(especially in town) when the airconditioning is operating.For vehicles fitted with manual airconditioning, switch off the systemwhen it is not required.

Some advice for reducingconsumption and therefore helpingto preserve the environment:It is advisable to drive with thevents open and the windows closed.If the vehicle has been parked inthe sun, open the doors for a fewmoments to let the hot air escapebefore starting the engine.

MaintenanceRefer to the Warranty andServicing booklet for your vehiclefor the replacement frequency.

Operating faultsGenerally, in the event of anoperating fault, consult yourRENAULT Dealer.- Reduction in de-icing, demisting

or air conditioning performance.This may be caused by thepassenger compartment filtercartridge becoming clogged.

- No cold air is being produced.Check that the controls are setcorrectly and that the fuses aresound. Otherwise, switch off thesystem.

- Presence of water under thevehicle. After prolonged use ofthe air conditioning system, it isnormal for water to be presentunder the vehicle. This is causedby condensation.

Do not open the refrigerant fluidcircuit. The fluid may damage theeyes or skin.

ENGINE OIL LEVELIt is normal for an engine to use oilfor lubrication and cooling ofmoving parts and it is sometimesnecessary to top up the levelbetween oil changes.However, contact your RENAULTDealer if more than 0.5 litres is beingconsumed every 600 miles (1,000km) after the running in period .

Oil change frequency: check the oillevel from time to time andcertainly before any long journey toavoid the risk of damaging yourengine.

Reading the oil levelThe vehicle must be parked on levelground and the engine should havebeen switched off for some timebeforehand to obtain an accuratereading.

To be able to read the exact oil leveland make sure that the maximumlevel has not been exceeded (risk ofengine damage), the dipstick mustbe used.Refer to the information on Engineoil level/Topping-up/Filling in thefollowing pages. The instrumentpanel display only alerts the driverwhen the oil level is at its minimum.

Minimum oil level warning oninstrument panelWhen ignition has been switched onfor approximately 30 seconds:- if the level is above the minimum,

the display shows Oil ok: displaymessage 1.This message refers to the leveland not the grade.

For more information, press thetrip mileage recorder reset button.

The squares which appear on thedisplay indicate the level. Thesesymbols disappear as the oil leveldrops and they are replaced bydashes.To advance to trip computerreading, press the button again.- if the level is at minimum: ok does

not appear on the display, thedashes and the word Oil flash(message 2) and, depending on the

vehicle, ø lights up on the

instrument panel.It is vital to top up the oil as soonas possible.

When driving, the Ê indicator lightcomes on when the oilchange/service limit is reached.Refer to the information in section 1on the trip computer.

Note: if the Cruise control/speedlimiter switch is activated when theignition is switched on, the displayshows message 3.

Message 1Level aboveminimum

Message 2Minimum level(flashing)

Message 3

The display only warns the driver if the oil level is at the minimumlevel. It does not inform the driver that the oil level has exceeded themaximum level as this can only be measured using a dipstick.

Reading the level using thedipstick- take out the dipstick.- wipe the dipstick using a clean,

lint-free cloth.- push the dipstick in as far as it will

go. (For vehicles equipped with acap-type dipstick C, screw in thecap as far as it will go.)

- Take out the dipstick again,- read the oil level again: it should

never fall below the minimum oillevel B or exceed the maximum oillevel A.

Maximum engine oil levelexceeded.It is imperative that the oil leveldoes not go above the maximumlevel A: this may damage the engineor cause it to race.The oil level should only bemeasured with the dipstick, aspreviously explained. If the oil levelexceeds the maximum level, do notstart your vehicle and contact aRENAULT Dealer.

Consult your RENAULT Dealer atonce if you notice an abnormal orrepeated drop in any of the fluidlevels.

Engine oil gradeRefer to the Warranty and Servicesbooklet for your vehicle forinformation regarding which gradeof oil to use.

- Unscrew cap 1.- top up the level (for information,

the capacity between the minimumand maximum reading on dipstick2 is between 1.5 and 2 litresdepending on the engine);

- wait for approximately ten minutesto allow the oil to flow into theengine;

- check the level using the dipstick 2(as explained above);

Do not exceed the Max level and donot forget to refit cap 1.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCEProtection against the effects ofcorrosive agentsAlthough your vehicle benefits fromhighly effective anti-corrosiontechnology, it nevertheless remainssubject to the effects of:

- corrosives in the atmosphere- atmospheric pollution (urban and

industrial areas).- saline atmospheres (near the sea,

particularly in hot weather),- seasonal and damp climatic

conditions, (e.g.: road salt inwinter, water from road cleaners,etc.).

- abrasiveswind-borne dust and sand, mud,road grit thrown up by othervehicles, etc.

- minor impacts

You should take a number of minorprecautions in order to safeguardyour vehicle against such risks andnot to lose the benefit of yourvehicle’s anti-corrosion protection.

You should not- Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight

or freezing temperatures.- Scrape off mud or dirt without pre-

wetting.- Allow dirt to accumulate.- Allow rust to form following minor

impacts.- Use solvents not approved by

RENAULT’s Technical Departmentto remove stains as this coulddamage the paintwork.

- Drive frequently in snow or muddyconditions without washing thevehicle, particularly under thewheel arches and body.

- Degrease or clean mechanicalcomponents (e.g. enginecompartment), underneath thebody, parts with hinges (e.g. insidethe fuel flap, sunroof, etc.) andpainted plastic external fittings(e.g. bumpers) using high-pressurecleaning equipment or by sprayingon products not approved byRENAULT’s Technical Department.If adequate precautions are nottaken, this could give rise tocorrosion or operational faults.

CHANGING A WHEEL

Remove the hubcap (see theinformation on hubcaps).Loosen the wheel bolts using wheelbrace 1, pressing down.Position the jack horizontally, thejack head must be slid into the paneljacking point 2 provided in thelower section of the bodyworkclosest to the wheel concerned.Crank up the jack by hand at first toalign the base plate (which shouldbe inclined further inwards than thejack head). Place a plank of woodunder the base plate if on softground.

Insert socket 4 of the wheel braceinto jack 3 and turn it a few times tolift the wheel off the ground.Remove the bolts.Take off the wheel.Fit the emergency spare wheel onthe central hub and turn it to locatethe mounting holes in the wheel andthe hub.Tighten the bolts and lower the jack.With the wheels on the ground,tighten the bolts as far as possibleand check the tightness as soon aspossible (tightening torque 105 Nm).

Park the car on firm, levelground which is notslippery (e.g. avoid tiledfloors), placing a solid

support under the jack base plate ifnecessary. Switch on the hazardwarning lights.Apply the handbrake and engage agear (first or reverse).Ask all the passengers to leave thevehicle and keep them away fromtraffic.

If you have a puncture,replace the wheel as soonas possible.A tyre which has been

punctured should always beinspected (and repaired, wherepossible) by a specialist.

TYRES

When they need to bereplaced, only tyres of thesame make, size, type andprofile should be used.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle shouldeither be identical to those fittedoriginally or be of a typerecommended by yourRENAULT Dealer.

Incidents which occurwhen driving, such asstriking the pavement,may damage the tyres and

wheel rims, and could also leadto misalignment of the front orrear axle geometry. If suchincidents occur, have thecondition of these parts checkedby a RENAULT Dealer.

Tyre and wheel safetyThe tyres are the only contactbetween the vehicle and the road, soit is essential to keep them in goodcondition.You must make sure that your tyresconform to local road trafficregulations.

Maintaining the tyresThe tyres must be in good conditionand the tread profile must havesufficient depth; tyres approved byRENAULT’s Technical Departmenthave wear warning strips 1 in theform of indicators moulded into thetread at several points.

When the tyre tread has been erodedto the level of the warning strips,they become visible 2: it is thennecessary to replace your tyresbecause the tread profile is only1.6 mm deep at the most and thiscauses poor road holding on wetroads.An overloaded vehicle, longjourneys by motorway, particularlyin very hot weather, or continualdriving on poorly surfaced minorroads will lead to more rapid tyrewear and affect safety.


NU750_2_G5-FRA.qxd 25/07/05 10:00 Page 5.07

5.07

TYRES (continued)

Incorrect tyre pressureslead to abnormal tyrewear and unusually hotrunning, factors which

may seriously affect safety andlead to:- poor roadholding- the risk of blow-outs or of

throwing a tread at high speed.Pressures depend on the load andthe driving speed. Adjust thepressures according to theconditions of use (see Tyrepressures).

For safety reasons, thisoperation must be carriedout by a specialist.

Fitting different tyres may changeyour vehicle as follows:- It may mean that your vehicle

no longer conforms to currentregulations.

- It may change the way it handleswhen cornering.

- It may cause the steering to beheavy.

- It may cause tyre noise.- It may affect the use of snow

chains.

Tyre pressuresTyre pressures must be adhered to(including the emergency sparewheel). Pressures must be checkedat least once a month and alwaysbefore a long journey (see Tyrepressures).

Pressures should be checked whenthe tyres are cold; ignore higherpressures which may be reached inhot weather or following a fastjourney.If tyre pressures cannot be checkedwhen the tyres are cold, assume anincrease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.

Never deflate a hot tyre.Note: a label (depending on countryor model) fixed to the edge or frameof the driver’s door gives therecommended tyre pressures.

Fitting new tyres

Changing wheels aroundThis practice is not recommended.

Emergency spare wheelRefer to the information on theemergency spare wheel andinstructions on how to change awheel in section 5.

TYRES (continued)

Use in winter

- Studded tyresThis type of equipment may onlybe used for a limited period and aslaid down by local legislation.It is necessary to observe the speedspecified by current legislation.These tyres may be fitted to thetwo front wheels as a minimum.

- ChainsFor safety reasons, fitting snowchains to the rear axle is strictlyforbidden.

- Snow or Winter tyresWe would recommend that thesebe fitted to all four wheels toensure that your vehicle retainsmaximum road holding.

Note: be aware that these tyres maysometimes have:- a specific direction of rotation.- a maximum speed index which

may be lower than the maximumspeed of your vehicle.

In all cases, we wouldrecommend that you contactyour RENAULT Dealer who willbe able to advise you on thechoice of equipment which ismost suitable for your vehicle.

Chains may only be fitted totyres of the same size asthose originally fitted toyour vehicle.

Only certain chains can be fitted totyres. Contact your RENAULTDealer.

Special note14 inch wheels with 175/70 R14reinforced tyre.These cannot be fitted with chains.

Emergency spare wheels fortemporary use.They cannot be fitted with chains.If one of the front tyres ispunctured, it is therefore essentialto fit one of the rear wheels in itsplace and to fit the emergency sparewheel in place of the rear wheel.

BATTERY: troubleshootingConnection/Disconnection- When you are connecting the

battery, connect the positiveterminal first, then the negative.

- When you are disconnecting thebattery, disconnect the negativeterminal first, then the positiveterminal.

- When connecting the terminals,take care to reposition themproperly.

To avoid all risk of sparks:- Ensure that any consumers are

switched off before disconnectingor reconnecting the battery.

- When charging, stop the chargerbefore connecting or disconnectingthe battery.

- Do not place metal objects on thebattery to avoid creating a shortcircuit between the terminals.

Connecting a battery chargerWith the engine switched off, it isessential to disconnect the cablesconnected to both battery terminals,starting with the negative terminal.Do not disconnect the battery whenthe engine is running. Follow themanufacturer’s instructions for thebattery charger you are using.Only a well-charged and well-maintained battery will have a longand useful life and enable you tostart the vehicle’s engine normally.The battery must be kept clean anddry.Have the battery’s charge statuschecked regularly:- Especially if you use your vehicle

for short journeys or for frequentdriving in town.

- When the external temperaturedrops (in winter), the chargedecreases. In winter, only useelectrical equipment which isreally necessary.

- Finally, you should understandthat the charge decreases naturallyas a result of certain permanentelectrical consumers such as theclock, after-sales accessories, etc.

When many accessories are fitted tothe vehicle, have them connected to+ after ignition feed. In this case, itis advisable to have your vehiclefitted with a battery which has anincreased capacity. Contact yourRENAULT Dealer for advice.If your vehicle is to be left stationaryfor a relatively long time, disconnectthe battery or have it rechargedregularly, in particular during coldweather. The equipment with amemory, radio etc. will then have tobe reprogrammed. The battery mustbe stored in a cool dry place,protected from frost.

Special procedures maybe required to chargesome batteries. Contactyour RENAULT Dealer for

advice.Avoid all risk of sparks whichmay cause an immediateexplosion and charge the batteryin a well-ventilated area.Risk of serious injury.
