KEYS / RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL
1Remote control coded ignition
key, key for doors and fuel filler
cap.
The plip remote control 1locks and
unlocks the doors.
It is supplied with power by a
battery which has to be replaced
when the battery tell-tale light 2no
longer comes on. (Refer to the
information on the radio frequency
remote control batteries.)
If there is a child (or
animal) in the car, never
leave it unattended with
the key in the ignition.
With the key in the ignition it
would be possible to operate
electrical equipment such as the
window risers and there is a risk
that the child may be seriously
injured (by trapping his or her
neck, arm, hand, etc.).
Locking/unlocking the doors
Press the remote control for
approximately one second to lock or
unlock the doors. (Tell-tale light 2
will switch on.)
- The hazard warning lights flash
twice to indicate that the doors
have been locked.
Note: Depending on the vehicle, if
eitheradoorortailgateisopenor
not properly closed or if a rear
interior light remains in the
“continuous lighting” position
(see information on interior lights
in section 3), the hazard warning
lights will not flash.
- The hazard warning lights flash
once to indicate that the doors
have been unlocked.

1.03
RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL (continued)
The range within which the remote
control will operate
This varies according to the
environment: therefore take care
when handling the remote control
that you do not inadvertently lock
or unlock the doors.
Note: On certain vehicles, if a door
is not opened within approximately
30 seconds of unlocking the door
using the remote control, the doors
will lock again automatically.
Interference
Interference may be caused to the
operation of the remote control by
factors in the immediate vicinity
(external installations or the use of
equipment operating on the same
frequency as the remote control).
If you lose your keys or need
another set of keys (or a remote
control), contact your RENAULT
Dealer.
• If a remote control unit is
replaced, it will be necessary to
take the vehicle to your
RENAULT Dealer because both
the vehicle and all the remote
control units are needed to
initialise the system.
• No more than two remote controls
can be used on one vehicle.
• Make sure that the batteries are
always in good condition - they
last for approximately two years.

1.13
SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your car. You must also
comply with the local legislation in
the particular country you are in.
Before driving off:
- First ensure that your driving
position is correct.
- Then, to provide maximum
safety, adjust your seat belt
correctly.
Incorrectly adjusted seat
belts may cause injuries
in the event of an
accident.
Even pregnant women should
wear a seat belt. In this case,
ensure that the pressure of the
lap belt on the abdomen is not
excessive.
Adjusting your driving position
• Sit with your back firmly against
the seatback.
This is essential to ensure your
lumbar vertebrae are in the
correct position.
•Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals.
Your seat should be as far back as
possible to allow you to press the
clutch pedal fully down. The
seatback should be adjusted so
that your arms remain slightly
bent.
•Adjust the position of the head
restraint.
For maximum safety, your head
should be as close as possible to
the head restraint.
•Adjust the height of the seat.
This adjustment allows you to
select the seat position which
offers you the best possible
vision.
•Adjust the position of the steering
wheel
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The shoulder strap 1should be as
close to the base of the neck as
possible but not on it.
The lap strap 2should be held
firmly over the thighs and against
the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close to the body as possible, i.e.
avoid wearing heavy clothing or
having bulky objects under the
belts.

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
ensuring the buckle 4clips correctly
into housing 6(check it is locked by
pulling on buckle 4). If the belt jams,
allow it to return slightly before
unwinding it again
Locking (continued)
If the belt is jammed completely:
- pull slowly but firmly, to unwind
just over an inch (approximately
3cm);
- allow the belt to rewind by itself;
- unwind the belt once more;
- if the problem persists, consult your
RENAULT Dealer.
Driver's seat belt not
fastened warning light
If the driver's seat belt is
unfastened this lights up, and,

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
These are:
OFront seat belt pretensioners.
OForce limiters.
ODriver's and passenger airbags.
These airbags are adaptable in
that they offer a small or large
volume depending on the
severity of the frontal impact.
These systems are provided to act
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal
impact.
Depending on the force of the
impact the system may engage:
- seat belt locking;
- the buckle pretensioner (which
triggers to take up the slack in the
seat belt);
- the lap belt pretensioner to keep
the occupant in their seat, the low
volume front airbag and the load
limiters;
- the large volume front airbag.
OSide airbags are provided to
activate in the event of severe
side impacts.
Front seat belt pretensioners
With the ignition switched on, if
there is a severe frontal impact and
depending on the force of the
impact, the system may engage:
- the piston 1which immediately
retracts the seat belt.
The pretensioners pull the seat
belt against the body, holding the
occupant more securely against the
seat, thus increasing the seat belt's
efficiency.
• Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
• No operation whatsoever
is permitted on any part of the
system (pretensioners, airbags,
computers, wiring) and the
system components must not be
re-used on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
• To avoid premature triggering of
the system which may cause
injury, only qualified RENAULT
Network personnel may work on
the pretensioner and airbag
system.
• Testing of the electric trigger
system may only be carried out
by a specially trained technician
using special equipment.
• When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact your RENAULT Dealer
for disposal of the pretensioner

Force limiter
Above a certain severity of impact,
this mechanism is used to limit the
force of the belt against the body so
that it is at an acceptable level.
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.
Driver and passenger airbags
These are fitted to both the driver
and the front passenger seats.
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 its two gas
generators (for the small or
large-volume bag depending on
the severity of the frontal impact)
mounted on the steering wheel for
the driver and in the dashboard for
the passenger;
- a computer for both systems,
which includes the impact
detector and the monitor
controlling the electrical trigger
system for each of the gas
generators;
- A single warning light on
the instrument panel.
The air bag system uses the
principles of pyrotechnics. This
explains why, when the air bag
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 air bag is
required, it must inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor,
superficial grazing to the skin.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT (continued)
Operation
The system waits a few seconds
after the ignition has been switched
on before being operational.
If a severe frontal impact occurs,
the airbag(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 airbag(s) then
deflate(s) immediately so that the
passengers are not impeded in any
way when they get out of the
vehicle.
The passenger airbag system is
linked to a front passenger airbag
deactivation warning light 2on the
instrument panel. This warning
light is linked to the passenger
airbag deactivation system through
the ignition key.
It lights up to indicate that the
passenger airbag will not be inflated
in the event of an impact (refer to
the section on Deactivating the front
passenger airbag).
Operational incidents
Warning light 1lights 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 turned on, there is a fault
in the system.
If it lights up while you are driving,
stop at once and switch off the
ignition.
If it is still lit up after the ignition
has been switched on again, there is
a fault in the system. In this case, a
rear-facing child seat MUST NOT be
fitted to the front passenger seat.
We do not recommend fitting any
other kind of passenger seat device.
In both cases, consult your
RENAULT Dealer as soon as
possible.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT (continued)
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.
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 the seat belt is 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.
Airbags for driver and passenger
• No work or modification whatsoever may be performed on the entire airbag system for the driver and passenger
(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).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT (continued)
All the warnings given below are
designed to ensure that the airbag
can inflate correctly and to prevent
serious injuries caused by items
which may be dislodged when the
airbag inflates.
Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag
•Do not adjust either the steering wheel or the airbag cushion.
• Do not cover the airbag cushion.
• Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the
airbag cushion.
• The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel
from the RENAULT network).
• Do not sit too close to the steering wheel. 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.
Warnings concerning the passenger airbag: location 1
• Do not attach or glue any objects (badges, logo, clock, telephone holder,
etc.) onto the front passenger side of the dashboard.
• 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.
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO FIT A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT ON THE FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THE RESTRAINING METHODS ADDITIONAL
TO THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT ARE NOT DEACTIVATED.
(Refer to the information on Deactivation
of front passenger airbags in Section 1).

Side airbags
These airbags may be fitted to the
front seats and are deployed at the
sides of the seats (door side) to
protect the occupants in the event of
a severe side impact.
The slits on the front
seatbacks (door side) and
the gap between the rear
bench seatback and the
interior fittings form the trigger
area for the airbag, so it is
forbidden to place any objects
there.
Warnings concerning the
side airbag
• Fitting seat covers: Seats
equipped with an airbag
require special covers
specifically designed for your
vehicle. Consult your RENAULT
Dealer to see if appropriate
covers are available 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.
• Do not place any accessories,
objects or pets between the
seatback and the door. This may
prevent the airbag from operating
correctly or cause injury if the
airbag is deployed.
• No work or modification
whatsoever may be carried out
on the seat, except by qualified
RENAULT Network personnel.

If the vehicle is subjected to a severe
impact, a device retracts the seat
belt, pulling the seat belt tight
against the body and thereby
improving its efficiency.

SEAT BELTS
The following information applies to both the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts:
• No modifications may be made to the component parts of the original restraint systems: seat belts and
their mountings.
Consult your Renault Dealer for special applications (e.g. fitting a child seat).
• Do not use any devices which give any play in the belts (clothes pegs, clips for example).
• 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 knees with the seat
belt around them.
• The seat belt should never be twisted.
• Following a serious accident, replace all the belts which were in use at the time. Likewise, have the belts
replaced if they show any signs of wear.
• When refitting the rear bench seat, check that the seat belts are repositioned correctly, to enable them to be used
properly.
• If necessary, re-adjust the position and tension of the belt.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)
In all countries there are regulations
governing the use of restraint
systems for children and babies.
In Europe, children under 12 years
ofage,lessthan1.50mtalland
weighing less than 36 kg(1) must be
restrained with an approved
restraint adapted to the child's
weight and height.
The driver is responsible for
ensuring that this equipment is
used correctly.
Child restraints for which type
approval was obtained after January
1992 offer a level of safety much
greater than for restraints with type
approval before that date.
We therefore advise you to select an
approved child restraint that
complies with European regulation
ECE 44.
Restraints that comply with this
legislationmustbemarkedwithan
orange label bearing the letter E
followed by a number (which
stands for the country where it is an
approved type) and the year in
which the type approval was
granted.
(1) Always comply with the laws of the
country in which you are travelling.
They may be different to the
guidelines in this handbook.
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 same 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 headrest up to its
maximum position,
- move 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.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)
The right choice
The safety of your children is also
your responsibility.
To give your children maximum
protection, we recommend that you
use seats obtained from a Renault
Dealer.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
Isofix system, it is preferable to use
an Isofix seat. (Refer to the
information in section 1 on the
Isofix system of child seats.)
Restraint systems for all categories
are available. These systems have
been developed in consultation
with the manufacturers and have
been tested in Renault vehicles.
Take the advice of your Renault
Dealer and ask him to help you to
install it.
Category 0 and 0+
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 a
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).
Category 1
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a
child’s pelvis is not fully developed.
Restraints using 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.
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.

1.28
CHILD SAFETY (continued)
Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) and
category 3 (22 to 36 kg)
To correctly secure the pelvis of a
child of up to 12 years old, smaller
than 1.50 m and weighing less than
36 kg, it is preferable to use child
seats that can be combined with
three-point seat belts. This is a
booster seat (figure 3) with belt
guides to ensure that the belt will be
worn flat over the thighs of the
child.
A booster seat with a
height-adjustable seatback and a
belt guide are recommended as this
will allow the belt to be worn as
close to the base of the neck as
possible but not on it.
Place the head rest in the top
position to allow you to press the
seat back of the child seat firmly
against the vehicle seatback.
If a booster seat without a seatback
is used, the vehicle's headrest will
have to be adjusted to suit the
child's stature; the upper edge of the
headrest 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. The standard classifies the
restraints in five categories:
Category 0 : from 0 to 10 kg (0 to 22 lbs)
Category0+:from0to13kg(0to28lbs)
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)
We recommend that you remove
the headrest and put it in the
luggage compartment, to facilitate
fitting certain types of child seat.

• Never wear the belt under the arm or behind the back.
• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child’s stature.
• Never allow your child to stand or kneel on the seat when the vehicle is moving.
• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when he or she is asleep.
• Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, it may
become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.
• Following a serious accident, have an inspection made of the seat belts and restraint systems fitted at the time.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if he or she is in a child seat.
• Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with these).
• Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.
• Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.

since the last time the reset key
was pressed.
In the first few miles after resetting,
you may notice:
• that the range increases as you
drive. This is normal as the
average consumption may reduce
when:
- the vehicle is no longer
accelerating,
- the engine reaches normal
operating temperature (reset
when engine was cold),
- you drive from a built up area to
the open road.
If average consumption is
decreased, the expected range
will therefore increase.
• average consumption increases
when the vehicle is stationary
and idling.
This is normal as the computer
takes into account the fuel used
during idling.

FUEL TANK
Useful capacity of the fuel tank:
Approximately 11 gallons
(50 litres).
There is a cap holder 1on the fuel
filler flap for holding the cap when
filling the tank. Fuel filler cap: this is of a
special type. If you have to
change it, make sure the
new cap is of the same type.
Never handle the cap near a source
of heat or a flame.
Fuel grade
Petrol version
Use fuel which corresponds to the
appropriate grade defined by the
standards in force in the particular
country you are in.
Refer to the Engine specifications
section.
Diesel versions
Use diesel fuel only. When filling
the tank, ensure that no water enters
the tank accidentally. The filler cap
and the neck must be clean and
dust-free. The fuel must be of high
quality.
Rapeseed oil must not
be used under any
circumstances. Also, do
not mix even small
amounts of petrol with diesel.

FUEL TANK (continued)
Filling with fuel
Petrol version
Use unleaded fuel only.
Using leaded fuel will damage the
depollution equipment and may
lead to a loss of warranty.
To avoid the tank being filled with
leaded fuel, the filler neck has a
restrictor with a valve which only
allows an unleaded petrol nozzle to
be used (at the petrol pump).
- Insert the nozzle to open the valve,
asfarasitwillgo.
- Hold the nozzle in this position
while the tank is filled and then
release it.
Filling with fuel (continued)
Petrol and diesel versions
To allow room for expansion in the
fuel tank, do not top up more than
twice after the pump nozzle has cut
out automatically.
Any operation or
modification on the fuel
supply system (computers,
wiring, fuel circuit, in-
jector, protective covers...) is
strictly forbidden due to the
safety risks it may cause (except
for qualified staff from the
Renault network.
Persistent fuel odour
Your vehicle has a pressurised fuel
supply system. If a persistent fuel
odour should occur, please:
• stop the vehicle if traffic
conditions allow and switch the
ignition off;
• switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask all passengers to
leave the vehicle to keep them
away from the traffic;
• do not intervene or restart before
the vehicle has been checked by
qualified Renault network staff.

RUNNING IN IGNITION SWITCH
Petrol version
For the first 625 miles (1,000 km), do
not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in the
highest gear or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.
After 625 miles (1,000 km), you may
drive your car normally, but it is
only after 1,500 miles (3,000 km)
have been covered that you may
reasonably expect full performance.
Service intervals: refer to the vehicle’s
Warranty and Servicing booklet.
Diesel version
For the first 750 miles (1,500 km), do
not exceed 2,500 rpm. On completion
of this mileage you may drive faster,
but the vehicle will only provide top
performance after approximately
4,000 miles (6,000 km).
During the running in period, do
not accelerate hard while the engine
is still cold and do not let the engine
rev too high.
Service intervals: refer to the vehicle’s
Warranty and Servicing booklet.

Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, return the
key to the “Stop” position.
If there is a child (or pet) in
the car, never leave it
unattended with the key in
the ignition. With the key
in the ignition it would be possible
to operate the electrical equipment
such as the windows and there is a
risk that the child may be seriously
injured (by trapping his or her
neck, arm, hand, etc.).
Never switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has stopped
completely. Once the engine has
stopped, the power steering, brake
servo and passive safety devices
such as airbags and pretensioners
will no longer operate.
When the key has been removed,
the steering will lock.

SPECIAL POINTS - PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat and thus reduce its
efficiency or even destroy it and
cause heat damage to the vehicle:
• Driving for a long time with the
low fuel level warning light
illuminated;
• Faulty ignition, running out of
fuel or spark plug disconnected
occurring as engine misfiring and
snatches when driving;
• Using leaded petrol;
• Using lubrication additives or
fuel which is not approved by
Renault;
• Loss of power;
• The fitting of non-recognised
security systems which have been
integrated into the fuel injection
system for immobilisation
purposes;
Bump starting the vehicle, as
unburnt petrol in the system, may
affect the catalyst if the car does not
start quickly. However, jump
starting with jump leads across the
battery is permissible;
If you note any of the above faults,
have the necessary repairs carried
out as soon as possible by your
Renault Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by
taking your vehicle regularly to
your Renault Dealer at the intervals
specifiedinyour“Warrantyand
Servicing” booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic
converter, do not keep trying to start
the engine (using the starter, or by
pushing or pulling the vehicle)
without having identified and
corrected the cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be found, do not
try to start the engine again, but call
for the assistance of a Renault
Dealer.
Never park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible
substances or materials
such as grass or leaves may come
into contact with a hot exhaust
system.

SPECIAL POINTS - DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines have an injection
system with a mechanical governor
which prevents overrevving of the
engine regardless of the gear engaged.
Running out of fuel
After filling the tank, if you have run
completely out of fuel, on condition
that the battery is fully charged, the
engine may be started normally.
If, after a few seconds, after several
attempts, the engine will not start,
call for the assistance of a Renault
Dealer.
Winter precautions
To avoid any problems in icy
conditions:
• ensure your battery is always well
charged.
• ensure the fuel level in the tank
never drops too low to avoid
condensation forming at the
bottom of the tank.
Vehicles fitted with a diesel fuel
heater
This allows diesel fuel to be used
with no additives down to –18°C,
or, in the case of a vehicle used
regularly over short distances
(engine cold) down to –5°C.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING
RENAULT actively participates in
the reduction of pollutant exhaust
gas emissions and in saving energy.
By virtue of its design, its original
settings and moderate fuel
consumption, your RENAULT
conforms to the current antipollution
standards. Technical design cannot
achieve everything, however. The
level of exhaust gas pollutant
emissions and the fuel
consumption of your vehicle is
within your control. Ensure that
your vehicle is maintained
correctly, and that you drive and use
it carefully.
Maintenance
Not observing the antipollution
legislation may lead to the owner of
the vehicle being prosecuted.
Replacing parts of the engine, the
fuel supply system and the exhaust
with parts which are not original
parts recommended by the
manufacturer may mean that your
vehicle no longer conforms to the
antipollution regulations.
Have your vehicle checked and
adjusted by your Renault Dealer in
accordance with the instructions in
your Warranty and Servicing booklet.
Your Renault Dealer has all the
equipment necessary to ensure that
your vehicle is maintained to its
original standard.
Always remember that the emission
of pollutant fumes is directly linked
to fuel consumption.
Engine adjustments
• ignition: this requires no adjustment
• spark plugs: optimum conditions
of use, performance and output
require that the specifications
laid down by our Design
Department be rigorously
adhered to.
If the spark plugs have to be
replaced, use the make, type and
gap specified for your engine.
Consult your Renault Dealer for
this information.
• idle speed: this requires no
adjustment.
• air filter, diesel fuel filter: a
blocked cartridge reduces output
and must be replaced.
• injection pump setting: this must
be set to the recommended values.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING
(continued)
Monitoring exhaust gas
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 then goes out.
- 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.
Driving
•Drive carefully for the first few
miles until the engine reaches its
normal operating temperature
rather than letting it warm up
while stationary.
• Speed is expensive.
• “Snappy” driving uses a lot of
fuel: drive with a “light right
foot”.
• Brake as little as possible by
suitably anticipating an obstacle
or bend and then simply releasing
the accelerator pedal.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not overrev the engine in
intermediate gears.
Use the highest gear possible
without labouring the engine.
(On versions with an automatic
gearbox, try to always use
position D.)
• Try not to maintain the same
speed up a hill as you would on
the level; keep your foot in the
same position on the accelerator
pedal.
• Double declutching and
accelerating before switching off
the engine are superfluous
actions in modern cars.
• Bad weather, flooded roads
Do not drive on flooded
roads if the depth of
water is above the lower
edge of the wheel rims.

(continued)
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).
• Try to use the air vents. Driving at
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h)
with the windows open will
increase the use of fuel by 4%.
•For vehicles fitted with air
conditioning,morefuelmaybe
used during urban driving; switch
off the system when it is not really
needed.
• Never fill the fuel tank up to the
brim to avoid it overflowing.
• Do not leave an empty roof rack in
position.
• Use a trailer for carrying bulky
objects.
• When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it properly.
• Avoid using the car for door to
door calls (short journeys with
long stops in between), as the
engine never reaches its ideal
temperature. Try to group your
calls.
Tyres
•Inflation pressures which are too
low may increase fuel
consumption.
• The use of non-recommended
tyres may also increase fuel
consumption.

ENVIRONMENT
Your vehicle has been designed with
the aim of caring for the environment.
• Most versions are fitted with a
depollution system incorporating
the catalytic converter, oxygen
sensor and active carbon filter
(which prevents fuel vapour
evaporating from the fuel tank
into the open air).
•These vehicles run on unleaded
fuel only.
•your vehicle comprises 87%
recyclable parts and already
contains parts which are made
from recycled materials (as marked
on the diagram above).
• 95% of the plastic parts in your
vehicle are marked by a symbol
which allows the principal
component material to be identified.
This marking means that the parts
removed can be sorted more
easily, making recycling of each of
them easier.
In addition, your vehicle meets the
requirements of European legislation
concerning the protection of the
environment.
Make your contribution to
environmental protection too !
Do not dispose of parts replaced in
the course of routine vehicle
maintenance (battery, oil filter, air
filter...) and oil cans (empty or filled
with old oil...) with household
waste.
Dispose of them through specialist
organisations. In all cases comply
with local legislation.

in succession enables a shift down
of two gears at once (except in the
case of overrev).
When decelerating with the foot off
the pedal, the gears will
automatically drop to the low speed
limit to avoid stalling. First gear
automatically passes below a
certain speed limit. You can stop the
vehicle at red lights or junctions etc.
by pressing the brake pedal; there is
no need to change to neutral (N).
The vehicle will move off again:
- slowly, if you release the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in
a traffic jam)
- quickly, if you release the brake
and accelerate.
Note: neutral is only accessible
when you are driving or stationary
with your foot on the brake (if you
forget, the warning light 3will
come on and the Nsign will flash).
Push the gear lever to the right to
engage neutral.
Moving from one mode to another
can be performed with the engine
running, at any time and in all
ratios.

Automatic mode
Automatic mode is selected by
default every time the ignition is
switched on.
You can change it at any time when
driving by pressing the mode
change button. The letter Aappears
on the display.
The vehicle is controlled using the
accelerator and the brake. Gears will
change automatically at the correct
moment to a speed suitable for the
engine because the automatic
function takes into consideration
the weight of the car, the road
surface and the chosen driving
style.
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 alert
the engine brake by anticipating
the down-change
You can stop the vehicle at red
lights, with the gear engaged, by
pressing the brake pedal; there is no
need to change to neutral.
The vehicle will move off again:
- slowly, if you release just the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in
a traffic jam)
- quickly, if you release the brake
and accelerate.
The level of oil in the
automatic gearbox system
reservoir is variable
depending on use. Adding
oil is strictly forbidden (except by
qualified Renault network
personnel).

Accelerating and overtaking
You have two options:
1) slowly depress the accelerator
pedal to speed up gradually.
2) depress the accelerator pedal as
far as it will go (or: take your foot
off the pedal and depress the
pedal again until you reach the
point of resistance.
Parking
It is possible to park in gear (for
example, on a slope). To do this:
- with the ignition on, select a gear
with your foot on the brake.
- check that a gear other than Nis
displayed on the instrument
panel, then remove the ignition
key.
To disengage the gear, repeat this
operation by switching on the
ignition without starting the engine
and shift the selector lever to
neutral with your foot on the brake.
Check that Nis displayed on the
instrument panel.

•If you keep the vehicle on a slope
for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, there is a
risk that the clutch will overheat.
In this event, an intermittent beep
will remind you that you should
put your foot on the brake or
apply the handbrake.
• Never leave the vehicle with the
engine running when in gear.
For safety reasons you will hear
an intermittent beep when you
open the door if you have not
shifted into neutral or you have
not switched off the ignition or
pressed the brake pedal.
• Your vehicle will not start:
you can start the engine when the
vehicle is moving if the battery is
not discharged (display lit up).
Proceed as before:
- switch on the ignition
- select neutral
- push or tow the car or run it
down a slope until you reach the
speed at which the warning
buzzer is activated. This will
indicate that moving the
selector lever forwards will
engage the gear most suited to
starting the engine.
Note: never attempt this in reverse.
Operating faults
When driving,ifthis
warning light comes on, it
indicates a fault in the
system.
In most cases, you may still drive
the vehicle, although it will not
function perfectly. However, you
should consult a Renault Dealer as
soon as possible.
Towing a vehicle with a
sequential gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
- switch on the ignition
- select neutral with your foot on
the brake
- check that the gearbox is in neutral
(by pushing the vehicle, for
example).
If you cannot find neutral you must
tow the vehicle with the front
wheels raised.
Towing should always take place
with the ignition switched off.

To select reverse
(vehicle stationary)
Move the lever to neutral, then lift
up ring 1against the gear lever knob
to select reverse gear.
The reversing lights illuminate as
soon as reverse gear is selected
(ignition on).
To release
Pull the lever up slightly, press in
button 2and lower the lever to the

If you are driving with the
handbrake incorrectly released, the
red warning light on the instrument
panel will remain illuminated.
To apply
Pull the lever upwards.
The lever should travel about 10
notches to hold the vehicle. Your
vehicle has self adjusting rear brake
shoes and the handbrake should
only be adjusted during a brake
overhaul.
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 leave the steering on full lock
when the vehicle is parked (risk of
damaging the power assisted
steering pump).
Never switch off the
engine when travelling
downhill, and avoid
doing so when driving in
general (power steering and
brake servo will not function).

2.20
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
When braking sharply, the two main
aims are to reduce the stopping
distance and to keep the vehicle
under control. However, depending
on the nature of the ground, the
atmospheric conditions and your
reactions, dangers due to loss of
adherence may exist: the wheels
may lock and directional control
may be lost. To avoid these risks,
your vehicle has been fitted with
the anti-lock braking system (ABS).
The safety enhancement is that the
brake control system prevents the
wheels from locking, even if the
brakes are applied too sharply,
allowing 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 avoid an obstacle whilst
at the same time applying the brake.
This system also allows stopping
distances to be improved, especially
when adhesion is limited (wet roads,
slippery or uneven road surface).
Although this system allows this
optimisation, the ABS system in no
way increases performance which is
physically related to the local
adherence conditions between the
tyres and the ground. You must still
follow the rules of good driving
practice (driving at a safe distance
from the vehicle in front etc.). The
fact that the vehicle’s safety has been
increased should not encourage you
to take risks.
Each time the system is 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.
Operating incidents
Two situations must be considered:
1 - The warning light is
illuminated on the instrument
panel.
Braking is still assured, but
without the action of the ABS
system. Consult a Renault Dealer
as soon as possible.
2 - The warning lights
are illuminated on the instrument
panel.
This indicates a fault in one of
the ABS braking components.
Braking may be partially assured.
It is however dangerous to brake
sharply,soyoumuststop
immediately as soon as traffic
conditions allow. Call for the
assistance of a Renault Dealer as
soon as possible.
The braking modulation provided by the ABS system is independent of the force applied at the pedal. In an
emergency, apply firm, continuous pressure at the brake pedal - there is no need to pump it repeatedly.

which may occur when driving).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel
detects the path selected by the

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
This system helps to limit skidding
on drive wheels and to control the
vehicle when pulling away or
accelerating.
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

encourage you to drive more
quickly.
It can, thus, under no
circumstances replace the
vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the
vehicle (the driver must always
be aware of sudden incidents
which may occur when driving).
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.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the action
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function is in operation,

OUsing recirculated air
Press button 6;the
indicator light will come on.
In this position the air is taken
from inside the passenger
compartment and is recirculated
without admitting external air.
Recirculation of air allows the
external atmosphere to be
isolated (driving in polluted
areas).
Prolonged use of the air
recirculation mode may cause the
windows to mist up or lead to
odours, as the air is not renewed.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) by
pressing button 6as soon as air
recirculation is no longer required.
Special instructions
Switching on air recirculation
automatically switches on the air
conditioning.
The function operates periodically
if the external temperature is lower
than approximately 10°C; the
indicator light on button 6will go
out after a few minutes.
The function operates permanently
if the external temperature is above
approximately 10°C; press button 6

AIR CONDITIONING
If no cool air is produced
Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are in good condition. Otherwise switch off the air
conditioning and contact a RENAULT Dealer.
Do not open the refrigerant fluid circuit.
Fuel consumption
When the air conditioning is operating, it is normal to notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving
in town).
In winter, use the air conditioning occasionally in order to keep the system in correct working order.
Do not worry about any water which may appear from underneath the vehicle as this results from condensation.
Operating faults
Generally, if you notice a decrease in the efficiency of de-icing, demisting or air conditioning, it may be caused by
clogging up of the particle filter cartridge, if one is fitted to the vehicle: consult your RENAULT Dealer.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
An engine uses oil for lubrication
and to coolmoving parts and it is
sometimes necessary to top up the
level between oil changes.
However, consult your Renault
Dealer if more than 0.5 litre is
being consumed every 625 miles
(1000 km) after the running-in
period.
Oil change frequency: Check the oil
level from time to time and always
before long journeys, to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The car must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
reading.
The oil level can be read:
- on the instrument panel;
- using the dipstick.
Reading the level on the instrument
panel
When ignition has been switched
on for approximately 30 seconds:
-if the level is correct, the display
will show “oil OK”: display
message 1
Special note: To gain a more
precise indication of the level,
press the trip mileage counter
reset button or the information
scroll button on the on-board
computer.
The squares which appear on the
display indicate the level. The
number of squares displayed
decreases as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by a dash: display
message 2.
To move to on-board computer
reading, press the button again.
-When the minimum oil level is
reached, the dashes and the word
“Oil” flash, and the word “OK”
disappears (display message 3)
and some versions
lights up on the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon
as possible.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
Protection against the action of
corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been
treated with very effective
anti-corrosion products, it is still
subject to the action of:
• corrosives in the atmosphere
- atmospheric pollution (urban
and industrial areas),
- saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
- seasonal and humid climatic
conditions, especially road salt
in winter.
• abrasives
- wind-carried dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other
vehicles.
• minor impacts
To avoid losing the benefits of this
protection, a minimum number of
precautions should be taken to
ensure against this risk.
What you must not do
• Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight
or in freezing temperatures.
• Scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
• Allow external dirt to accumulate.
• Allow rust to form after minor
impacts.
• Use solvents not recommended
by Renault's Technical Department
to remove spots as they may
damage the paintwork.
• Drive frequently in snow or muddy
conditions without periodically
washing the car, particularly
under the wheel arches and under
the body.
• Degrease or clean mechanical
components (e.g. engine
compartment), underneath the
bodywork, parts with hinges (e.g.
inside the fuel tank flap, sunroof)
and painted plastic external
fittings (e.g. bumpers) using high
pressure cleaning apparatus or
spraying on products which are
not approved by our Technical
Department as this could give rise
to corrosion or incorrect operation.

4.13
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
What you should do
• Wash your car frequently, using our
recommended cleaning products
anduseahighpressurejettorinse
off the wheel arches and under the
body to get rid of:
- spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
-bird droppings, which contain
chemicals which rapidly
discolour paintwork and may
even cause the paint to peel off;
The vehicle must be washed
immediately to remove these
marks since they cannot be
removed by polishing;
- salt from the wheel arches and
under the body, after the vehicle
has been driven in areas where
the roads are chemically treated;
- mud forming damp patches in
the wheel arches and under the
body.
• Keep well away from the vehicle
in front when driving on a freshly
laid surface to avoid damage to
your paintwork.
• Have patches where the paint has
been damaged repaired quickly to
avoid corrosion spreading.
• If your vehicle is covered by the
Renault anti-corrosion warranty,
remember to visit the bodyshop
periodically. Refer to your vehicle’s
Warranty and Servicing booklet.
• Respect local regulations relating
to washing your vehicle (e.g. do
not wash your vehicle on a public
highway).
• Before using a revolving brush
type car wash, check the mounting
of exterior equipment, additional
headlights and rear view mirrors.
Secure the wiper blades and radio
aerial with adhesive tape.
Remove the car phone aerial if the
vehicle has one.
• If mechanical components such
as hinges have to be cleaned, their
protection must be reapplied by
spraying on products approved
by Renault's Technical Department.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle which
may be obtained from Renault

CHANGING A WHEEL
•Remove the wheel embellisher
(see section on embellishers).
• Use the wheelbrace 1to loosen
the wheel bolts slightly. Fit it so
that you press downwards and
not upwards.
• Offer up the jack horizontally, the
jack head must be slid
underneath the jacking point
under the body, nearest the wheel
concerned.
• Screw up the jack by hand at first
to align the base plate (which
should be inclined further
inwards than the jack head). Use a
piece of wood under the base
plate if on soft ground.
• Insert the end of the wheelbrace 2
into the jack 3and turn a few
times to lift the wheel off the
ground:
• Remove the bolts.
• Take off the wheel.
• 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.
Park your vehicle on firm,
flat ground (if necessary,
placing a plank under the
base of the jack).
Switch on the hazard warning
lights.
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse, or Pon an
automatic gearbox).
Ask all the passengers to get out of
the vehicle and keep them away
from moving traffic.
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.

TYRES
Tyre safety - road wheels
The tyres are the only contact
between the vehicle and the road, so
it is essential to keep them in good
condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road regulations.
When they need to be
replaced, only tyres of
the same make,
dimension, type and
profile should be used.
When fitting tyres to the car,
they should either be identical to
those fitted originally or
conform to those recommended
by your Renault Dealer.
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have
sufficient depth: tyres approved by
our Technical Department have
wear warning strips 1which 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.
Incidents which occur when
driving such as striking the kerb
may damage the tyres and could
lead to the misalignment of the front
axle geometry.
An overloaded car, long journeys by
motorway, especially in very hot
weather, or continual driving on
poor road surfaces will lead to more
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

5.07
TYRES (continued)
Tyre inflation pressures
Tyre inflation pressures must be
adhered to. (Remember to check the
emergency spare wheel at the same
time.) Inflation pressures must be
checked at least once a month and
always before a long journey. (Refer
to the section on Tyre inflation
pressures).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre
wear and unusually hot
running. Factors which may
seriously affect safety and lead
to:
- poor roadholding
- possibility of blow-outs or of
throwingatreadathighspeed.
Inflation pressures depend on
the load and the driving speed.
Adjust the pressures according
to the conditions of use. (Refer to
the section on tyre inflation
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 (3PSI).
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.
Replacing 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.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
emergency spare wheel and
instructions on how to change a
wheel in section 5.

TYRES (continued)
Use in winter
• Chains
For safety reasons, chains must
never be fitted to the wheels on
the rear axle.
Chains must not be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those
originally fitted to the vehicle.
Chainsmayonlybefitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted
to your vehicle.
•“Snow” or winter tyres
We recommend that these are
fitted to all four wheels to ensure
that your vehicle retains
maximum road holding.
Note: These tyres sometimes
have:
- a specific direction of rotation
- a maximum speed which may
be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
•Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only
be used for a limited period and
as laid down by local legislation.
It is necessary to keep to the speed
specified by current legislation.
As a minimum, these tyres may be
fitted to the two front wheels.
In all cases, we recommend that
you consult your Renault Dealer,
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.

BATTERY breakdown
To avoid all risk of sparks:
- Ensure that the consumers are
disconnected before disconnecting
or reconnecting the battery.
- When charging, switch off the
charger before connecting or
disconnecting the battery.
- Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short
circuit between the terminals.
Connecting a battery charger
Both battery leads must be
disconnected (with the engine
switched off).
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 vehicle’s engine
normally.
The battery must be kept clean and
dry.
Have the battery's charge status
checked regularly:
• especially if you use your vehicle
for short journeys or for frequent
driving in town;
• When the external temperature
drops (in winter), the charge
decreases. In winter, only use
those electrical comsumers which
are really necessary.
• Finally, you should understand
that the charge decreases
naturally as a result of certain
permanent consumers such as:
the clock, aftermarket
accessories...
When a large number of accessories
are fitted to the vehicle, have them
connected to + after ignition.Inthis
case, it is advisable to have your
vehicle fitted with a battery which
has an increased nominal capacity.
Consult your Renault Dealer.
If the vehicle is to be left stationary
for a long time, disconnect the
battery and recharge it regularly,
especially in cold weather. The
memories, radio etc. will then have
to be reprogrammed. The battery
must be stored in a dry and
ventilated area protected from frost.
Specific procedures may
be required to charge
some batteries. Consult
your Renault Dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which
may cause an immediate
explosion and charge the battery
in a well-ventilated area.
Risk of serious injury.

BATTERY: breakdown (continued)
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting
your vehicle from another vehicle's
battery:
Obtain suitable jump leads (with a
large cross section) from a Renault
Dealer or, if you already have jump
leads, ensure that they are in perfect
condition.
Both batteries must have an
identical nominal voltage: 12 volts.
The battery supplying the current
should have a capacity (amp-hours,
Ah) which is at least the same as
that of the discharged battery.
A frozen battery must be thawed out
before current is supplied to it.
Ensure that there is no risk of
contact between the two vehicles
(risk of short circuiting when the
positive terminals are connected)
and that the discharged battery is
properly connected. Switch off your
vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle
supplying the current and run it at
average speed.
Secure the positive cable (+) Ato
the (+) terminal 1of the discharged
battery then to (+) terminal 2of the
battery supplying the current.
Secure the negative cable (–) Bto
the (–) terminal 3of the battery
supplying the current then to the (–)
terminal 4of the discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact
between cables Aand Band that
cable Ais not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Start the engine as you would
normally. As soon as it starts,
disconnect cables Aand Bin the
reverse order (4-3-2-1).
Handle the battery with
care since it contains
sulphuric acid which
must never come into
contact with eyes or skin. If it
does, wash with plenty of water.
Keep all flames, light sources
and sparks away from the
battery: risk of explosion.
Take care when working in the
engine compartment as the
engine cooling fan may cut in at
any moment without warning.
