Warning relating to the service life of airbags and pretensioners Pyrotechnic systems for airbags and pretensioners have a limited service life: refer to the servicing booklet for your vehicle for the replacement frequency. An airbag may be provided for both the driver and the front passenger. An “Airbag” marking on the steering wheel and dashboard and a label in the lower section of the windscreen inform you of the presence of additional means of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc) in the passenger compartment. Each airbag system consists of: - An airbag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger. - A computer for both systems, which includes the impact sensor and a monitor controlling the electrical trigger system for the gas generator. - a single warning light on the instrument panel. The airbag system uses the principles of pyrotechnics. This explains why, when the airbag inflates, it will generate heat, produce smoke (this does not mean that a fire is about to start) and make a noise upon detonation. In a situation where an airbag is required, it must inflate immediately and this may cause some minor, superficial grazing to the skin.

If a severe frontal impact occurs, the air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver's head and chest against the steering wheel and the front passenger's head against the dashboard. The air bag then deflates immediately so that the passengers are not impeded in any way when they get out of the vehicle. Special feature of the front air bag There are two volumes of operation depending on the force of the impact: - “low volume” air bag, this is the first degree of operation; - “large volume” air bag, the air bag seams rip so that a larger volume of air is released into the bag (for the most forceful impacts). Faults Warning light 1 lights up on the instrument panel when the ignition is turned on and then goes out after a few seconds. If it does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or lights up when the engine is running, there is a fault in the system. Consult your Renault Dealer as soon as possible.

If you sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on Adjusting your driving position in Section 1), you will ensure that there is sufficient space for the airbag to inflate properly and to be fully effective. All the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates. Warnings concerning the passenger airbag: • Do not attach or affix any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard with adhesive near where the airbag is located A. • Nothing should be placed 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. As a general rule, keep all parts of the body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard. • You should reactivate the airbag as soon as you remove the child seat from the front passenger seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger in the event of an impact.

Consult your RENAULT Dealer to find out if these covers may be purchased from RENAULT outlets. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of these airbags and reduce your protection. B A B A Lateral airbags A Curtain airbags B These are airbags fitted to each front seat, and the rear seats in some vehicles, which are triggered on the side of the seat (door side) to protect the passengers from severe side impacts. These are airbags fitted along the top of the side of the vehicle and which are triggered along the front and rear side windows to protect the passengers in the event of a severe side impact. The airbag operates through the slits in the seatbacks (door side): never put any objects in the slits. • Do not place any accessories, objects or even animals between the seat back, the door and the internal fittings. This may prevent the airbag from operating correctly or cause injury if the air bag is deployed. • No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the internal fittings, except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn, it exposes the occupants to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with airbags. The airbag does not offer protection against minor and moderately serious frontal impacts, side or rear impacts or if the vehicle turns over. • No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on the entire airbag system (computer, wiring, etc.) (except by qualified RENAULT network personnel). • To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause injury, 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, is stolen or broken into. • When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle. • When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s). WWW.MANUALS.WS 1.33 NU633-6 - B74 C:\Documentum\Checkout\nu633-6_eng_T1.WIN 30/7/2002 15:04 - page 41 QXBIUDB*T[G      3DJH  CHILD SAFETY WWW.MANUALS.WS In all countries there are regulations governing the use of restraint systems for children and babies. In Europe children under 12 years of age or smaller than 1.50 m(1) must be seated in an approved safety device which is suitable for the weight and size of the child. The driver is responsible for ensuring that this equipment is used correctly. Child restraints for which approval was obtained after January 1992 offer a level of safety much greater than for restraints with approval before that date. It is therefore advisable to select a child restraint that complies with European regulation ECE 44. Restraints that comply with this legislation must be marked with an orange label bearing the letter E followed by a number (which stands for the country where it is type approved) and the year in which the type approval was granted. Remember that a collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres. Expressed in other terms, transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a third-floor balcony which does not have any railings. Under no circumstances should babies or children be allowed to travel sitting on the knees of another passenger in the vehicle. If a head-on collision occurs at 30 mph (50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kg (66 lbs) will be transformed into a missile equivalent to one tonne: you will find it impossible to hold the child, even if you yourself are wearing a belt. It is particularly dangerous to put the belt round your child when he or she is sitting on your knee. Never use the belt for more than one person at the same time. The tables on the following pages inform you of the types of seat that can be fitted in each of the vehicle seat positions on the vehicle in accordance with the European directive. Before installing a child seat in the front seat (if fitting is permitted) If the passenger seat is fitted with one, carry out the following adjustments: - pull back the seat as far as possible, - straighten the seatback as much as possible, - raise the seat squab as far as possible, - pull the head rest up to its maximum position, - Set the seat belt height control to the low position. Refer to the Child safety equipment booklet available from the RENAULT Network to choose the seat suited to your child and recommended for your vehicle. (1) Always comply with the laws of the country in which you are travelling. They may be different to the guidelines in this handbook.

To ensure that your child has the maximum possible protection, we recommend that you use seats obtained from a Renault Dealer. If your vehicle is fitted with an Isofix system you should use an Isofix seat (see section 1, paragraph “Isofix child seat attachment system”). Restraint systems for all the categories are available. These systems have been developed in consultation with the manufacturers and have been tested in Renault vehicles. Consult your Renault Dealer and ask him to help you install it. 1 2 Category 0 and 0+ Category 1 A child's neck is very susceptible to injury up to the age of two. In a front-facing seat there is a risk that the child will sustain neck injuries in the event of a frontal collision. Renault therefore recommends a rear-facing seat with a harness that gives all-round protection (figure 1). Between the ages of 2 and 4, a child's pelvis is not fully developed. Restraints using the vehicle's three-point belts are not adequate and there is a risk that the child will sustain abdominal injuries in the event of a frontal collision. It is therefore advisable to use rear-facing seats (figure 1), bucket-type seats (figure 2) or seats with harnesses. Place the head restraint at the top position to allow you to press the seat back of the child seat firmly against the vehicle seat back. To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use RENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for your car and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will provide a warranty.

Place the head rest in the top position to allow you to press the seat back of the child seat firmly against the vehicle seat back. 3 Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) and category 3 (22 to 36 kg) If a booster seat without a seatback is used, the vehicle's head rest will have to be adjusted to suit the child's stature; the upper edge of the head rest must be at the same height as the top of the child's head and should never be lower than in line with the child's eyes. To correctly restrain the pelvis of a child up to 12 years or a height of 1.50 m, it is preferable to use seats that can be combined with the three point seat belts (figure 3) with belt guides so that the vehicle's three-point belt lies flat across the child's legs. The standard classifies child restraints in five categories: Category 0 : from 0 to 10 kg (0 to 22 lbs) Category 0+: from 0 to 13 kg (0 to 28 lbs) Category 1 : from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs) Category 2 : from 15 to 25 kg (33 to 55 lbs) Category 3 : from 22 to 36 kg (48 to 80 lbs) WWW.MANUALS.WS 1.38 NU633-6 - B74 C:\Documentum\Checkout\nu633-6_eng_T1.WIN 30/7/2002 15:04 - page 46 QXBIUDB*T[G      3DJH  CHILD SAFETY (continued) WWW.MANUALS.WS 5 6 DANGER As front passenger airbag triggering and the position of a rear facing child seat are incompatible, it is not permitted to install such a seat in this position unless the vehicle is fitted with an airbag deactivation device.

When power assisted steering is fitted, never leave the steering wheel on full lock when the vehicle is parked as this may damage the pump. When the vehicle is stationary, make sure that the handbrake is properly applied so that the vehicle does not move unintentionally. Make sure the handbrake is properly released when driving, otherwise overheating may occur. Never switch off the ignition when travelling downhill, and avoid doing so when driving in general (power steering and brake servo will not function).

By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your Renault conforms to current anti-pollution standards. Technical design, however, cannot achieve all. The fuel consumption of your car and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are very much within your control. Make sure that your vehicle is maintained correctly, use it carefully and watch your driving style. Maintenance Engine adjustments It should be noted that failure to respect anti-pollution standards may lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, the replacement of parts of the engine, fuel supply system and exhaust by parts other than those originally recommended by the manufacturer may alter your vehicle such that it no longer complies with anti-pollution standards. Have your vehicle checked and adjusted by your Renault Dealer in accordance with the instructions in the vehicle’s servicing booklet. • Ignition: This does not require adjustment. • Spark plugs: Optimum conditions of use, performance and output demand that the specifications laid down by our design office be rigorously adhered to. If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle's engine. Consult your Renault Dealer for this information. • Idling speed: This does not require adjustment. Your Renault Dealer has all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard. • Air filter, diesel filter: A clogged element hinders output and must be changed. Always remember that the emission of pollutant fumes is directly linked to fuel consumption. • Injection pump setting: It must be set to the recommended values.

The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any malfunctioning of the vehicle's exhaust gas depollution system. If this system malfunctions, toxic substances may be released into the atmosphere or mechanical damage may occur. This warning light on the instrument panel will indicate if there are any problems with the system: This lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out after 3 seconds. - If it lights up continuously, consult your Renault Dealer as soon as possible. - If it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Consult your Renault Dealer as soon as possible. •Do not overrev the engine in the intermediate gears. Always use the highest ratio possible without labouring the engine. On versions with automatic transmission, it is preferable to keep the gear lever in position “D”. Driving •Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the car is stationary. •Speed is expensive. •“Sporty” driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a “light right foot”. •Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill; accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal. •Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are superfluous actions in modern cars. •Bad weather, flooded roads Do not drive through floods if the depth of water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.

General hints • Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all the electrical units which are not really needed. However, (with safety always in mind), keep your lights on when the visibility is bad (“see and be seen”). • Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits in between) because the engine never reaches its normal operating temperature. Try to group your calls. Tyres • Pressures which are too low may increase fuel consumption. • The use of non-recommended tyres may also increase fuel consumption. • Try to use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 100 km/h will increase fuel consumption by +4%.

Operating principle This function is an additional driving aid. However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver. Each wheel (except the emergency spare wheel) has a sensor, integrated in the inflation valve which periodically measures the tyre pressure. The driver is constantly informed of the correct tyre pressure and possible variations on display A. For certain vehicles, the information display B supplements this information by specifying the tyre pressures when ignition is switched on (for approximately 20 seconds) or if there is a fault when driving.

Reading the tyre pressures on the instrument panel (if fitted) After the vehicle's tyre pressures have been checked, warning messages on the instrument panel and/or values read on the information display B are updated once you exceed 12 mph (25 km/h). The operating pressure gauges show the pressure measurement variances (known as tolerance). The pressure which is displayed on the information display B may therefore be different from the pressure read on the pressure gauge used.

This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions to allow the behaviour of the vehicle to be adapted to the driving conditions. However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle's limitations and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.

When the function is in operation, indicator light 1 flashes or ESP message A lights up (depending on the vehicle). A Operating principle The system uses sensors in the wheels to constantly measure and compare the speed of the drive wheels and prevents them spinning. If a wheel is tending to skid, the system brakes automatically until the drive delivered becomes compatible with the level of grip.

However, there is a risk that road holding and directional control may be lost and the wheels may lock when braking, depending on the nature of the ground, weather conditions and your reactions. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) has been designed to combat this danger. The safety enhancement is that the brake control system prevents the wheels from locking, even if the brakes are applied too sharply, and allows the vehicle to be steered and thus its direction to be controlled. Under these circumstances it is quite possible for the driver to steer the vehicle and to avoid an obstacle whilst at the same time applying the brake. This system also allows you to optimise stopping distances when the adhesion of one or more wheels becomes hazardous (wet roads, slippery or varying road surfaces). Although this system allows you to make maximum use of stopping distances, even with the ABS you still have to take account of the actual condition of the road surface. It is still essential to follow the rules of good driving practice (such as driving at a safe distance to the vehicle in front). The fact that the vehicle’s safety has been increased should not encourage you to take risks. When the system has been activated, you will feel a certain degree of pulsation at the brake pedal. These tangible signs will warn you that the adhesion between the tyres and the ground has reached its limit and enable you to adapt your driving style to suit the road conditions.

The braking system operates in the same way as for a vehicle not equipped with an ABS system. Consult a Renault Dealer as soon as possible. 2 - The orange warning light and the red brake circuit fault indicator light are lit up on the instrument panel. This indicates that both the braking system and the ABS system are faulty. Your vehicle brakes may still partially operate. However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and it is essential to stop immediately, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Contact your Renault Dealer as a matter or urgency. The braking control provided by the anti-lock braking system is independent of the effort applied to the brake pedal. In an emergency, apply continuous pressure to the brake pedal - there is no need to pump it repeatedly.

Operating principle The system detects an emergency braking situation by means of a sensor which measures the speed with which the brake pedal is depressed.

This will prevent successive gear changes by the automatic gearbox when climbing, and permit engine braking in the event of long descents. - In cold weather, start the engine and wait a few seconds before moving the selector lever from position P or N and engaging it in D or R to prevent the engine stalling. - Vehicle not fitted with traction control: on a slippery surface, change to manual mode and select second gear (or even third) before starting the engine to avoid wheel spin when starting. If this warning light lights up when driving, it may indicate a fault. Consult a Renault Dealer as soon as possible. and while driving, if these warning lights come on at the same time, avoid leaving the gear lever in position D (or R) when stopping in traffic: always return to position N when you have to stop. Consult a Renault Dealer as soon as possible. - If a vehicle with an automatic gearbox breaks down, see the information on towing in section 5. - - If the gear lever becomes jammed in position P even though you are pressing the brake pedal, the level can be released manually.

Do not open the refrigerant fluid circuit. Faults If you notice that the de-icing, demisting or air conditioning has become less effective, this may be caused by a clogged particle filter element. Vehicles fitted with an auxiliary heater Some vehicles are fitted with an auxiliary heater which enables the passenger compartment to be heated more quickly. Generally, in the event of a fault, consult your Renault Dealer. This device only functions when the engine is running and in cold weather. Fuel consumption When the air conditioning is operating, you will normally note an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving in an urban area). After prolonged use of the air conditioning, it is normal to note the presence of water underneath the vehicle, caused by condensation.

Use a piece of wood under the base plate if on soft ground. • Turn a few times to lift the wheel off the ground. 1 • Remove the bolts. • Take off the wheel. Park your vehicle on firm, flat ground (if necessary, placing a plank under the jack). Switch on the hazard warning lights. Apply the handbrake and engage a gear (first or reverse, or P for automatic gearboxes). Ask all the passengers to leave the car and keep away from the traffic. • If necessary, remove the hubcap. • Loosen the wheel bolts using the wheelbrace 1. Fit it so that you press downwards rather than pulling upwards. • Offer up the jack horizontally, the jack head must be positioned at the height of the supporting metal 2 provided in the lower section of the bodywork closest to the wheel concerned. • Position the emergency spare wheel on the central hub and turn it to locate the mounting holes in the wheel and the hub. • Tighten the bolts and lower the jack. • Tighten the bolts fully when the wheel is on the ground. If you have a puncture, replace the wheel as soon as possible. A tyre which has been punctured should always be inspected (and repaired if possible) by a specialist.

You must make sure that your tyres conform to local road regulations. 1 2 Maintaining the tyres When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the same make, dimension, type and profile should be used. The tyres must be in good condition and the tread form must have sufficient depth; tyres approved by Renault's Technical Department have wear warning strips 1 which are risers moulded into the tread at several points. When the tread has worn down to the level of these risers, they become visible 2: the tyres concerned must be replaced now as only 1.6 mm maximum of tread remains and this is not sufficient to maintain good grip on wet roads. Faults which occur when driving, such as striking the kerb, may damage the tyres and could lead to misalignment of the front axle geometry. An overloaded car, long journeys by motorway, particularly in very hot weather, or continual driving on poorly surfaced minor roads will lead to more rapid tyre wear and affect safety. Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your Renault Dealer. WWW.MANUALS.WS 5.06 NU633-6 - B74 C:\Documentum\Checkout\nu633-6_eng_T5.WIN 31/7/2002 10:16 - page 6 q QXBIUDB*T[G      3DJH  TYRES (continued) Tyre pressures WWW.MANUALS.WS Tyre pressures must be adhered to. (Remember to check the spare wheel at the same time.) Tyre pressures must be checked at least once a month and always before a long journey. (Refer to the section on Tyre pressures.) Pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures which may be reached in hot weather or after driving at high speeds. If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, assume an increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI). Never deflate a hot tyre. Note: a label (depending on country or version) affixed to the edge or frame of the driver's door gives the recommended tyre pressures. Incorrect tyre pressures lead to abnormal tyre wear and unusually hot running, factors which may seriously affect safety and lead to: - poor roadholding - the risk of blow-outs or of throwing a tread at high speed. Tyre pressures depend on the load and the driving speed. Adjust the pressures according to the conditions of use. (Refer to the section on tyre pressures.) Changing wheels around Each of the sensors integrated in the valves is devoted to one single wheel: under no circumstances should you swap the wheels. There is a risk of false information leading to serious consequences. Fitting new tyres For safety reasons, this operation must only be carried out by a specialist. Fitting different tyres may change your vehicle as follows: - It may mean that your vehicle no longer conforms to current regulations. - It may change the way it handles when cornering. - It may cause the steering to be heavy. - It may cause tyre noise. - It may affect the use of chains. Spare wheel Refer to the information on the spare wheel and instructions on how to change a wheel in section 5.

Chains must not be fitted to tyres which are larger than those originally fitted to the vehicle. Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle. Special features for models fitted with 17” wheels If you wish to use chains, you must use special equipment. Consult you Renault Dealer. • “Snow” or winter tyres We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum road holding.

Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instructions for use given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using. Only a well-charged and well-maintained battery will have a long and useful life and enable you to start the car’s engine normally. • When the external temperature drops (in winter), the charge declines. In winter, only use those electrical components which are really necessary. The battery must be kept clean and dry. When a large number of accessories are fitted to the vehicle, have them connected to + after ignition. In this case, it is advisable to have your vehicle fitted with a battery which has an increased nominal capacity. Consult your Renault Dealer. Have the battery's charge status checked regularly: • especially if you use your vehicle for short journeys or for frequent driving in town; • Finally, you should understand that the charge decreases naturally as a result of certain “permanent consumers” such as: the clock, after sales accessories... If your vehicle is to be left stationary for a relatively long time, disconnect the battery or have it recharged regularly, in particular during cold weather. The equipment with a memory, radio and trip computer will then have to be reprogrammed. The battery must be stored in a cool dry place, protected from frost. Specific procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Consult your Renault Dealer.
