If the vehicle is parked on

the hard shoulder, you must

warn other road users of

your vehicle’s presence

with a warning triangle or with other

devices as per the legislation apply-

ing to the country you are in.

Start cranking the jack up by hand to

align the base plate (which should be

pushed slightly under the vehicle).
Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts

off the ground.
Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on the

central hub and turn it to locate the

mounting holes in the wheel and the

hub.

Switch on the hazard warn-

ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from

traffic and on a level sur-

face where it will not slip (if neces-

sary, place a solid support under the

jack base).
Apply the parking brake and engage

a gear (first or reverse, or

P for auto-

matic transmissions).

Ask all the passengers to leave the

vehicle and keep them away from

traffic.

To prevent any risk of injury

or damage to the vehicle,

only crank the jack until the

wheel you are replacing is

a maximum of 3 centimetres off the

ground.

If you have a puncture, re-

place the wheel as soon as

possible.
A tyre which has been punc-

tured should always be inspected

(and repaired, where possible) by a

specialist.

If the vehicle is not equipped with a

jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain

these from your approved dealer.

If bolts are supplied with the emergency

spare wheel, only use these bolts for

the emergency spare wheel.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the

wheel is correctly positioned on its hub

and unscrew the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten

the bolts fully and check they are

tight as quickly as possible: tightening

torque 130 N.m (tightening torque for

rear wheel drive vehicles: 145 N.m).

(2/2)

Anti-theft bolt
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these

nearest the valve (wheel embel-

lisher may not be able to fit).

Do not leave tools loose in

the vehicle: there is a risk

they may be thrown about

during braking. After use,

check that all the tools are correctly

clipped into the tool kit, then posi-

tion it correctly in its housing: risk of

injury.

If wheel bolts are supplied in the

tool kit, only use these bolts for the

emergency spare wheel: refer to the

label affixed to the emergency spare

wheel.

The jack is designed for wheel

changing purposes only. Under no

circumstances should it be used for

carrying out repairs underneath the

vehicle or to gain access to the un-

derside of the vehicle.

Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)

tYreS

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 1

that are

indicators moulded into the

tread at several points.

tyre and wheel safety

The tyres are the only contact between

the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-

tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres

conform to local road traffic regulations.

When the tyre tread has been eroded

to the level of the warning strips,

they

become visible 2: it is then necessary

to replace your tyres because the tread

profile is no more

than 1.6 mm deep

and this causes poor road holding

on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, 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.

When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of the

same make, size, type and

profile should be used.

tyres fitted to the vehicle should

either be identical to those fitted

originally or conform to those

recommended by your approved

dealer.

Incidents which occur when

driving, such as striking the

kerb, may damage the tyres

and wheel rims, and could

also lead to misalignment of the

front or rear axle geometry. In this

case, have the condition of these

checked by an approved dealer.

ENG_NU_939-3_D91_Renault_5

Pressures should be checked when the

tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures

which may be reached in hot weather

or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are

cold, the normal

pressures must be increased by

0.2 to

0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note

Depending on the vehicle, there may

be an adapter which needs to be posi-

tioned on the valve before air is added.

Refer to the information on the

“Emergency spare wheel” and in-

structions on “Changing a wheel” in

Section 5.

tYreS

tyre pressures

Adhere to the tyre pressures (including

the emergency spare wheel). The tyre

pressures should be checked at least

once a month and additionally before

any long journey (refer to the label af-

fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

Incorrect tyre pressures

lead to abnormal tyre wear

and unusually hot running.

These are factors which

may seriously affect safety and lead

to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa-

tion.

The pressure depends on the load

and the speed of use. Adjust the

pressures according to the condi-

tions of use (refer to the information

on “Tyre pressures”).

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing valve cap can make the

tyres less airtight and lead

to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

For safety reasons, this op-

eration must 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 regu-

lations;

– It may change the way it handles

when cornering;

– It may cause the steering to be

heavy;

– It may affect the use of snow

chains.

use in winter

chains

For safety reasons, fitting snow

chains to the rear axle is strictly for-

bidden.
chains cannot be fitted to tyres which

are larger than those originally fitted to

the vehicle.
Snow or Winter tyres

We would recommend that these be

fitted to all

four wheels to ensure that

your vehicle retains maximum adhe-

sion.
Warning: These tyres sometimes have

a specific direction of rotation and a

maximum speed index 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 neces-

sary to observe the speed specified by

current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be

fitted to the two front wheels.

Chains may only be fitted

to tyres of the same size

as those originally fitted to

your vehicle.

If your vehicle is originally fitted

with tyres with a diameter of 17”,

snow chains may be used (but only

specific chains). Consult an ap-

proved dealer.

In all cases, we would recommend

that you contact an approved dealer

who will be able to advise you on

the choice of equipment which is

most suitable for your vehicle.

changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

Vehicles fitted with the

tyre pressure monitor
Each of the sensors incor-

porated in the valves is ded-

icated to a single wheel: under no

circumstances should you swap the

wheels, without having the system

reset.
There is a risk of incorrect informa-

tion which could have serious con-

sequences.
