METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE SEAT BELTS

These are:

• The front seat belt pretensioners.

• The force limiter built into the inertia reel (on

all side belts).• The air bag for the driver and front

passenger* (described on the followingpages).

These systems are designed to actindependently or together when the vehicle issubjected to a frontal impact.

There are three possibilities, depending on theforce of the impact:

- protection is provided by the belt only;

- the pretensioner is triggered to adjust beltposition and play;

- the air bag and force limiter are triggered,providingadditional protection in the event of the most severe collisions.

• Front seat belt pretensioners

This system is only operational when theignition is switched on.

If the vehicle is subject to a severe frontalimpact, piston 1 immediately retracts the seatbelt buckle pulling the seat belt tight against thebody and thereby improving its efficiency.

• Force limiter

In the event of a frontal impact above a certainseverity, this mechanism is used to limit theforce of the belt against the body so that it is atan acceptable level.

Each side belt (front and rear) is equipped witha force limiter.

Warning relating to the service life of air bags and pretensionersThe pyrotechnic systems in air bags andpretensioners have a limited service life.These systems must be replaced each timethey are activatedbut at thelatest after theyhave been in service for 10 years.Thiswork must always be undertaken by a RENAULT

Dealer.The seat belt pretensioners and the air bagoperate together.If one of the systems has passed the datewhen it is due for renewal, it will alter theoverall safety protection provided.


IMPORTANT

- Have all the methods of restraint checked following an accident.- No work whatsoever may be performed on the entirerestraint system(computer,wiring, etc.)

except by qualified RENAULT Network personnel.- When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for deactivation of air bag and

pretensioner systems.

CHILD SAFETY

The safety of your children is also yourresponsibility. For maximum protection,comply with the following recommendations.

There are regulations governing the use of restraints for children aged between 0 and 11.

You must comply with the laws of the countryor state in which you are travelling.

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 childwithout a restraint is the equivalent of allowinghim or her to play on a third-floor balconywhich does not have any railings.

There are certain rules to follow when fitting achild restraint:- Up to the age of six months, a baby's head

represents more than half its body weight.

- A child's pelvis is not fully developed until theage of ten.

It is therefore extremely important to userestraints which are adapted to the age andweight of the child and are suitable for thevehicle.

Renaultrecommends a complete range of child

restraint systems adapted to your vehicle andtested to European standards.

CHILD SAFETY

When a child is restrained by a seat belt in thevehicle (figure 4), it is essential that the seat beltis fitted correctly. It must pass through theappropriate guides on the restraint device onthe one hand and on the vehicle on the other(see instructions on how to use the restraint inconjunction with the driver's handbook). Thelap strap must lie flat across the thighs. The

shoulder strap should be as close as possible tothe base of the neck but not on it.

In addition, the child's head must never behigher than the restraint system or vehicle seatif a booster cushion is used. An adaptableseatback is therefore available.

Always avoid clothing the child in garmentswhich are too thick and do not put objectsbetween the child and the restraint device.

IMPORTANT No modifications are to be made to thecomponent parts of the system (belts andseats and their mountings) originally fitted.

• Follow carefully the instructions forfitting provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.

• Never leave a child unsupervised in avehicle, even if he/she is in a restraintdevice.

• The safety belt or harness must never betwisted.

• Never fit the shoulder strap under thearm or behind the back.

• Following a serious accident have theseat belts and restraint systems in use atthe time checked.

This is a newprocedure for installing a child seat

in the vehicle. It can be used on all the vehicle'srear seats.

It consists of the following components:

- Two anchoring rings per seat locatedbetween the seat the seatback.

- A special RENAULT child seat fitted with twocatches which hook onto the two rings.

Only the specific Renaultseat is typeapproved for this vehicle. Please contactyour RENAULT Dealer to purchase thisseat. This seat is used as a rear-facing seatfor children up to a maximum weight of 11kg (24 lbs) (from birth to approximately 18months) and then as a front-facing seat forchildren weighing from 9 kg (20 lbs) up to a

maximum of18 kg (40 lbs)(up to 4 years). Itis equipped with two retractable catcheswhich can be secured with the Isofixattachments provided for RENAULTvehicles. It can also be fitted“conventionally” in other vehicles (withoutcatches) using a three-point seat belt underthe conditions stated on page 1.19.

Fitting a child seat

- Before fitting and using the seat, read theinstructions provided carefully.

- Slip the guides 1 on the anchoring rings 2.

- Hold the seat in position so that the hooks onthe seat are opposite the two guides fitted tothe rear seat concerned.

- Latch the hooks onto the rings and make sureit is locked in place properly by moving itforwards and backwards and from right toleft. Check the position of the lockingindicator on the child seat (see theinstructions).

- Push on the base of the seat firmly to bring itinto contact with the seatback and make sureit is securely in position.

MAINTENANCE ENGINE ADJUSTMENTS



WWW.MANUALS.WS

2.04

RENAULT is actively participating in thereduction of pollutant exhaust gas emissionsand in saving energy.

By virtue of its design, moderate fuelconsumption and initial settings, yourRENAULT conforms to current anti-pollutionstandards.

Technical design, however, cannot achieve all.

The fuel consumption of your car and the levelof pollutant exhaust gas emissions are verymuch within your control. Make sure that yourvehicle is maintained correctly, use it carefullyand watch your driving style.

MAINTENANCE

It should be noted that failure to respectanti-pollution standards may lead to legal actionbeing taken against the vehicle owner. Inaddition, thereplacementof parts of the engine,fuel supply system and exhaust by parts other

than those originally recommended by themanufacturer may alter your vehicle such that itno longer complies with the anti-pollutionstandards.

Have your vehicle checked and adjusted byyour RENAULT Dealer in accordance with theinstructions in the vehicle's servicing booklet.

Your RENAULT Dealer has all the equipmentnecessary for ensuring your vehicle ismaintained in its original standard.

Always remember that the emission of pollutant fumes is directly linked to fuelconsumption.

ENGINE ADJUSTMENTS

• Ignition: This does not require adjustment.

• Spark plugs: Optimum conditions of use,performance and output demand that thespecifications laid down by our design

department be rigorously adhered to.If the spark plugs have to be changed, use themake, type and gap specified for your vehicle'sengine. Consult your RENAULT Dealer for thisinformation.

• Idling speed: This does not requireadjustment.

• Air filter, diesel filter: A choked elementhinders output and must be changed.

• Injection pump setting: It must be set to therecommended values.

MONITORING EXHAUST GAS TYRES DRIVING



WWW.MANUALS.WS

2.05

MONITORING EXHAUST GAS

The exhaust gas monitoring system will detectany malfunctioning of the vehicle's exhaust gasdepollution system.

If this system malfunctions, toxic substancesmay be released into the atmosphere ormechanical damage may occur.

This warning light on the instrumentpanel will indicate if there are anyproblems with the system:

This illuminates when the ignition is switchedon and extinguishes after 3 seconds.

- If it illuminates continuously, consult yourRENAULT Dealer as soon as possible.

- If it flashes, reduce the engine speed until thelight stops flashing. Consult your RENAULT

Dealer as soon as possible.

TYRES

• Inflation pressures which are too low mayincrease fuel consumption.

• The use of non-recommended tyres may alsoincrease fuel consumption.

DRIVING

• Drive carefully for the first few miles until theengine reaches its normal operatingtemperature rather than let it warm up whilethe vehicle is stationary.

• “Snappy” driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a“light right foot”.

• Take your foot off the accelerator pedal toslow down rather than use the brakeswastefully and judge the road well in advance.

• Do not overrev the engine in theintermediate gears.

Always use the highest ratio possible withoutlabouring the engine.

On versions with automatic transmission, it ispreferable to keep the gear lever in position“D”.

• Speed is expensive.

• Do not try to maintain the same speed up ahill; accelerate no more than you would on thelevel. Keep your foot in the same position onthe accelerator pedal.

• Double declutching and accelerating beforeswitching off are superfluous actions in moderncars.

• Avoid fierce acceleration.

When the traffic lights change to green, pullaway normally.

Bad weather, flooded roads

Do not drive through floods if the depth of

water is above the lower edge of the wheelrims.

• Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all the electricalunits which are not really needed.

However (with safety always in mind), keepyour lights on when the visibility is bad (see andbe seen).

• For vehicles with air conditioning , the extrafuelconsumed inurban cycle may beas high as2litres per 60 miles (100 km): switch the systemoff when it is not needed.

• Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls(short journeys with long waits in between)because the engine never reaches its normaloperating temperature. Try to group your calls.

• Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim as thisis wasteful.

• Try to use the air vents. Driving at 60 mph(100 km/h)with the windows open will increasethe use of fuel by 4%.

• Do not leave an empty roof rack in position.

• It is better to fit a trailer for bulky objects.

• When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflectorand adjust it carefully.

2.09

When road conditions permit (fast-moving ormotorway traffic), the cruise control allows youto take your foot off the accelerator while yourcar continues to cruise at the speed you haveselected. This is called the “governed cruisingspeed”.

This cruising speed may be set continuously atspeeds of 29 mph (45 km/h) and above.

Controls

1 - Main “On/Off” switch.

2 - Memorisation and adjustment of governedcruising speed.

3 - “Off” or “Recall” of memorised governedcruising speed.


Switching on

Press main switch 1.(The operating tell-tale light in the switchilluminates.)

Activating the cruise control

At a steady speed above 29 mph (45 km/h):

• Press switch 2 to the right or left.• The governed cruising speed is memorisedand you can lift your foot off the acceleratorpedal.

Changing the governed cruising speed

You can alter the cruising speed of your vehicleby pressing switch 2:

- “–” to reduce the cruising speed,

- “+” to increase the cruising speed.

IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY

Exceeding the governed speed The governed cruising speed may beexceeded at any time by pressing theaccelerator pedal. When the emergency is

over, the vehicle will return to its setcruising speed as soon as you lift your footoff the pedal.Slowing down - Stopping Governor action is by-passed automaticallyas soon as you press:• the brake pedal,• switch 3.The governed cruising speed remainsmemorised however.

Returning to the governed cruising speed(after braking)The cruising speed remains stored in thememory and may be used at any time bypressing switch 3, when the vehicle is travellingover 29 mph (45 km/h).

Switching off the system

Press the main switch 1. The cruising speed willno longer be in the memory.

Switching off the ignition

The cruising speed will no longer be stored inthe memory when the ignition is switched off.

are to reduce the stopping distance and keepyour vehicle under control. However, there is arisk that road holding and directional controlmay be lost and the wheels may lock whenbraking, depending on the nature of the ground,weather conditions and your reactions. The

anti-lock braking system (ABS) has beendesigned to combat this danger.

The safety enhancement is that the brakecontrol system prevents the wheels fromlocking, even if the brakes are applied toosharply, and allows the vehicle to be steeredand thus its direction to be controlled. Underthese circumstances it is quite possible for thedriver to steer the vehicle and to avoid anobstacle whilst at the same time applying thebrakes. Also,this systemallows you to optimisestopping distances when the adhesion of one ormore wheels becomes hazardous (wet roads,slippery or varying road surfaces). Under badroadholding conditions (snow, black ice), lettingthe clutch out improves your steering ability.

Although this system allows you to makemaximum use of stopping distances, even withthe ABS you still have to take account of theactual condition of the road surface. It is stillessential to follow the rules of good driving

practice (such as driving at a safe distance to thevehicle in front). The fact that the vehicle’ssafety has been increased should notencourage you to take risks.


feel a certain degree of pulsation at the brakepedal. These tangible signs will warn you thatthe adhesion between the tyres and the groundhas reached its limit and enable you to adaptyour driving style to suit the road conditions.

When the ignition is switched on, the ABSwarning light will illuminate for approximately 3seconds and then extinguish.

Ifthere isa fault inone ofthe componentsin thesystem, this warning light will illuminate on itsown (depending on the version) orsimultaneously with the “STOP” message and a“beep” warning.

If one of these warning lights illuminates,it is essential to stop as soon as trafficconditions allow.

Contact a RENAULT Dealer.

IMPORTANT

The braking modulation provided by the anti-lock braking system is independent of the effortapplied to the brake pedal. In an emergency, apply continuous pressure to the brake pedal. Thereis no need to pump it repeatedly.

The essential aim of this system is to ensurethat theheight of therear of thevehicle remainsconstant no matter how fully it is laden, therebypreservingthe dynamic qualities of your vehicle.

This system is based on electronicallycontrolling the inflation of two pneumaticsprings fitted in place of the conventional coilsprings.

The self-levelling system consists of:

- a position sensor;

- an electronic computer;

- a motor-compressor assembly;

- two pneumatic springs;

- an instrument panel control light.


The system comes into operation as soon as:

- a door or tailgate is opened,

- the ignition is switched on.

The system returns the vehicle to its normal

level immediately after the passengercompartment is loaded or unloaded.

Fault:

Check the relevant fuses in the passengercompartment fuse box.

This system is electronically operated and hasno exterior manual controls.

Instrument panel warning lights:When the ignition is switched on, thissymbol illuminates for approximately

3 seconds (depending on version).

If it illuminates on its own (depending on

version) or at the same time as the “Service”message and a “beep” warning while you aredriving, it is alerting you to a leak in thepneumatic system.

Consult your RENAULT Dealer.

IMPORTANT

In the event of a serious leak in thepneumatic system, the rear of the vehiclewill drop until it is resting on the suspensionstops, which will result in a significantdepreciation in road performance, even ona good road.

It is, however, possible to continue drivingby adapting your driving style to the roadconditions (state of the road, road holding,load, etc.) but at a maximum speed of 25mph (40 km/h).

Starting the engine using the batteryfrom another vehicle:

Obtain suitable jump leads (with a large crosssection) from a RENAULT Dealer or, if youalready have jump leads, ensure that they are inperfect condition.

The two batteries must have an identicalnominal voltage: 12 volts.

The battery supplyingthe current should have acapacity (amp-hours, Ah) which is at least thesame as that of the discharged battery.

An iced-up battery must be thawed out before



WWW.MANUALS.WS

5.22

In the event of an incident: isolate thebattery by unscrewing the negative terminal fora few turns.To avoid all risk of sparks:- Ensure the “accessories” are disconnectedbefore disconnecting or reconnecting the

battery.- When charging, stop the charger beforeconnecting or disconnecting the battery.- Do not place metal objects on the battery toavoid creating a short circuit between theterminals.

WARNING

Take care when moving the battery since itcontains sulphuric acid which must notcome into contact with the eyes or skin. If it

should, wash the affected area with plentyof cold water.Keep all flames, red-hot objects and sparksaway from the battery as there is a risk of explosion.Take care when working in the enginecompartment as the engine cooling fan maycut in at any moment without warning.

y p yterminals and clips must be cleaned and coatedwith an anti-acid grease.

- Have the battery's charging capacity checkedregularly, especially if you use your vehicle forshort journeys.

When the external temperature drops, it isnormal for the charging capacity todecrease. In winter, only use those electrical

components which are really necessary.Finally, remember that the battery chargedecreases naturally owing to a certain numberof permanent accessories on the vehicle, forexample clock or other accessories fitted inservice.

- When a large number of accessories are fittedto the vehicle, have them connected + after the ignition switch. Consult your RENAULTDealer.

- If your vehicle is to be left stationary for arelatively long time, disconnect the battery orhave it recharged regularly, in particular duringcold weather. The equipment with a memory,radio and trip computer will then have to bereprogrammed. The battery must be stored in acool dry place, protected from frost.

An iced up battery must be thawed out beforecurrent is supplied to it.

Ensure that there is no risk of contact betweenthe two vehicles (risk of short circuiting whenthe positive terminals are connected) and thatthe discharged battery is properly connected.

Switch off your vehicle ignition.

Start the engine of the vehicle supplying the

current and run it at an average speed.Secure the positive cable (+) A to the twopositive terminals, starting with the dischargedbattery. Secure the negative cable (–) B to thenegative terminals starting with the batterysupplying the current. Check that there is nocontact between cables A and B and that cable

A (+) is not touching any metal parts on thevehicle supplying the current.

Start the engine as you would normally.
