Starting and driving
5-47
Your new vehicle was designed to be used primarily
to carry passengers and luggage.
Towing a trailer will place additional loads on your
vehicle’s engine, drive train, steering, braking and
other systems. The towing of a trailer will exagger-
ate other conditions such as sway caused by cross-
winds, rough road surfaces or passing trucks.
Your driving style and speed must be adjusted ac-
cording to the circumstances. Before towing a
trailer, see an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop for an explanation about the proper use of tow-
ing equipment.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
•
Avoid towing a trailer during the running-in pe-
riod.
•
Before driving, make sure that the lighting sys-
tem of the trailer works properly.
•
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer
operation.
•
Avoid abrupt starts, accelerations and stops.
•
Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.
•
Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed.
•
Follow the trailer manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Choose proper coupling devices (trailer hitch,
safety chain, roof carrier, etc.) for your vehicle
and trailer. These devices are available from an
approved dealer or qualified workshop where
you can also obtain more detailed information
about trailer towing.
•
Never allow the total trailer load (trailer weight
plus its cargo weight) to exceed the maximum
set for the vehicle and the coupling device. See
an approved dealer or qualified workshop for
more information.
•
The trailer must be loaded so that heavy goods
are placed over the axle. The maximum allowable
vertical load on the trailer hitch must not be ex-
ceeded.
•
Have your vehicle serviced more often than at
the intervals specified in a separate maintenance
booklet.
•
Trailer towing requires more fuel than under nor-
mal circumstances because of a considerable
increase in traction power and resistance.
While towing a trailer, check the engine coolant
temperature indicator to prevent the vehicle from
overheating.
TYRE PRESSURE
When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tyres to the
maximum recommended COLD tyre pressure (for
full loading) indicated on the tyre placard.
Do not tow a trailer when the vehicle is installed with
a temporary spare tyre or a compact spare tyre.
SAFETY CHAINS
Always use a suitable chain between the vehicle
and trailer. The chain should be crossed and should
be attached to the hitch, not to the vehicle bumper
or axle. Be sure to leave enough slack in the chain
to permit turning corners.
TRAILER BRAKES
Ensure that trailer brakes are installed as required
by local regulations. Also check that all other trailer
equipment conforms to local regulations.
Always block the wheels on both the vehicle and
trailer when parking. Apply the hand brake on the
trailer where fitted. Parking on a steep slope is not
recommended.
If parking on a steep slope is unavoidable, place the
shift lever in the P (Park) position (Automatic trans-
mission model), or in an appropriate position
(Manual transmission model), and turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.
TRAILER DETECTION (where fitted)
When towing a trailer with a genuine RENAULT tow
bar electrical kit and the turn signal switch is used,
the electrical system of the vehicle will detect the
additional electrical load of the trailer lighting. As a
result, the direction indicator tone will be different.
TRAILER TOWING
5-48
Starting and driving
When leaving your vehicle unoccupied:
•
Always take the key with you - even when leav-
ing the vehicle in your own garage.
•
Close all windows completely and lock all doors.
•
Always park your vehicle where it can be seen.
Park in a well lit area during the night.
•
If the security system is equipped, use it - even
for a short period.
•
Never leave children or pets in the vehicle unat-
tended.
•
Never leave valuables inside the vehicle. Always
take valuables with you.
•
Never leave the vehicle documents in the ve-
hicle.
•
Never leave articles on a roof rail. Remove them
from the rack and keep and lock them inside the
vehicle.
•
Never leave the spare key in the vehicle.
WARNING
If the engine is not running or is turned off while
driving, the power assist for the steering will not
work. The steering will be much harder to oper-
ate.
The power assisted steering is designed to use a
hydraulic pump driven by the engine, to assist steer-
ing.
If the engine stops or the drive belt breaks, you will
still have control of the vehicle. However, greater
steering effort is needed, especially in sharp turns
and at low speeds.
The brake system has two separate hydraulic cir-
cuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still have
braking ability at two wheels.
BRAKE PRECAUTIONS
Vacuum assisted brakes
The brake booster aids braking by using engine
vacuum. If the engine stops, you can stop the ve-
hicle by depressing the footbrake pedal. However,
greater foot pressure on the footbrake pedal will be
required to stop the vehicle. The stopping distance
will be longer.
If the engine is not running or is turned off while driv-
ing, the power assisted brakes will not function.
Braking will be harder.
WARNING
Do not coast with the engine stopped.
Using brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the footbrake pedal while
driving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out the
brake linings/pads faster, and increase fuel con-
sumption.
To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the brakes
from overheating, reduce speed and downshift to a
lower gear before going down a slope or long grade.
Overheated brakes may reduce braking perfor-
mance and could result in loss of vehicle control.
VEHICLE SECURITY
POWER STEERING SYSTEM
BRAKE SYSTEM
Starting and driving
5-49
While driving on a slippery surface, be careful when
braking, accelerating or downshifting. Abrupt brak-
ing or acceleration could cause the wheels to skid
and result in an accident.
Wet brakes
When the vehicle is washed or driven through wa-
ter, the brakes may get wet. As a result, your brak-
ing distance will be longer and the vehicle may pull
to one side during braking.
To dry the brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speed
while lightly depressing the footbrake pedal to heat
up the brakes. Do this until the brakes return to nor-
mal. Avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds until
the brakes function correctly.
Parking brake running-in
Break in the parking brake shoes whenever the
stopping effect of the parking brake is weakened or
whenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums/
rotors are replaced, in order to assure the best brak-
ing performance.
This procedure is described in the vehicle service
manual and can be performed by an approved dealer
or qualified workshop.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
WARNING
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a sophis-
ticated device, but it cannot prevent accidents
resulting from careless or dangerous driving
techniques. It can help maintain vehicle control
during braking on slippery surfaces. Remember
that stopping distances on slippery surfaces will
be longer than on normal surfaces even with ABS.
Stopping distances may also be longer on rough,
gravel or snow covered roads, or if you are using
tyre chains. Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you. Ultimately, the driver
is responsible for safety.
Tyre type and condition may also affect braking
effectiveness.
•
When replacing tyres, install the specified size
of tyres on all four wheels.
•
When installing a spare tyre, make sure that it
is the proper size and type as specified on the
tyre placard. (See “Vehicle identification” in
the “9. Technical information” section.)
•
For detailed information, see “Tyres and
wheels” in the “9. Technical information” sec-
tion.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls the
brakes so the wheels do not lock during hard brak-
ing or when braking on slippery surfaces. The sys-
tem detects the rotation speed at each wheel and
varies the brake fluid pressure to prevent each wheel
from locking and sliding. By preventing each wheel
from locking, the system helps the driver maintain
steering control and helps to minimise swerving and
spinning on slippery surfaces.
Using system
Depress the brake pedal and hold it down. Depress
the brake pedal with firm steady pressure, but do
not pump the brakes. The ABS will operate to pre-
vent the wheels from locking up. Steer the vehicle to
avoid obstacles.
WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may re-
sult in increased stopping distances.
Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The
computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that tests
the system each time you start the engine and move
the vehicle at a low speed in forward or reverse.
When the self-test occurs, you may hear a “clunk”
noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal. This
is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. If the
computer senses a malfunction, it switches the ABS
off and illuminates the ABS warning light on the
instrument panel. The brake system then operates
normally, but without anti-lock assistance. If the ABS
warning light illuminates during the self-test or while
driving, have the vehicle checked by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above 5 to 10 km/h (3
to 6 MPH). The speed varies according to road con-
ditions.
5-50
Starting and driving
When the ABS senses that one or more wheels are
close to locking up, the actuator rapidly applies and
releases hydraulic pressure. This action is similar to
pumping the brakes very quickly. You may feel a
pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise from
under the bonnet or feel a vibration from the actua-
tor when it is operating. This is normal and indicates
that the ABS is operating properly. However, the
pulsation may indicate that road conditions are haz-
ardous and extra care is required while driving.
When the differential lock (where fitted) is engaged,
the ABS warning light illuminates. This indicates that
the anti-lock function is not fully operating. (See
“Rear differential locking system (where fitted)” ear-
lier in this section for the rear differential lock func-
tion.)
WARNING
•
Whatever the condition, drive with caution.
Accelerate and decelerate with great care. If
accelerating or decelerating too fast, the drive
wheels will lose even more traction.
•
Allow more stopping distance in cold weather
driving. Braking should be started sooner than
on dry pavement.
•
Keep at a greater distance from the vehicle in
front of you on slippery roads.
•
Wet ice (0°C, 32°F and freezing rain), very cold
snow and ice can be slick and very difficult to
drive on. The vehicle will have a lot less trac-
tion or grip under these conditions. Try to
avoid driving on wet ice until the road is salted
or sanded.
•
Watch for slippery spots (glaring ice). These
may appear on an otherwise clear road in
shaded areas. If a patch of ice is seen ahead,
brake before reaching it. Try not to brake while
actually on the ice, and avoid any sudden
steering manoeuvres.
•
Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
•
Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gas under
your vehicle. Keep snow clear of the exhaust
pipe and from around your vehicle.
BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during extremely
cold weather conditions, the battery fluid may freeze
and damage the battery. To maintain maximum effi-
ciency, the battery should be checked regularly. For
details, see “Battery” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
ENGINE COOLANT
If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-freeze,
drain the cooling system, including the engine block.
Refill before operating the vehicle. For details, see
“Engine cooling system” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
TYRE EQUIPMENT
1. If you have snow tyres installed on the front/rear
wheels of your vehicle, they should be of the
same size, loading range, construction and type
(bias, bias-belted or radial) as the rear/front tyres.
2. If the vehicle is to be operated in severe winter
conditions, snow tyres should be installed on all
four wheels.
3. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tyres
may be used. However, some countries, prov-
inces and states prohibit their use. Check local,
state and provincial laws before installing stud-
ded tyres.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded snow
tyres, on wet or dry surfaces, may be poorer
than that of non-studded snow tyres.
COLD WEATHER DRIVING
Starting and driving
5-51
4. Snow chains may be used if desired. Make sure
they are the proper size for the tyres on your
vehicle and are installed according to the chain
manufacturer’s instructions. Use chain tension-
ers when recommended by the tyre chain manu-
facturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of
the tyre chains must be secured or removed to
prevent the possibility of whipping action dam-
age to the wings or underbody. In addition, drive
at a reduced speed, otherwise, your vehicle may
be damaged and/or vehicle handling and perfor-
mance may be adversely affected.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items be car-
ried in the vehicle during the winter:
•
A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove ice
and snow from the windows.
•
A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the jack
to give it firm support.
•
A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.
PARKING BRAKE
When parking in the area where the outside tem-
perature is below 0°C (32°F), do not apply the park-
ing brake to prevent it from freezing. For safe park-
ing:
•
Place the shift lever in the P (Park) position (Au-
tomatic transmission model).
•
Place the shift lever in the 1 (1st) or R (Reverse)
gear (Manual transmission model).
•
Securely block the wheels.
CORROSION PROTECTION
Chemicals used for road surface deicing are ex-
tremely corrosive and will accelerate corrosion and
the deterioration of underbody components such as
the exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake
cables, floor pan and wings.
In the winter, the underbody must be cleaned
periodically. For additional information, see
“Cleaning exterior” in the “7. Appearance and
care” section of this manual.
For additional protection against rust and corrosion,
which may be required in some areas, consult an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.

•
Securely tighten the compressor hose to
the tyre valve. Failure to do so can cause
the sealant to spray into the air and get
into your eyes or on your skin.
•
Do not stand directly beside the damaged
tyre while it is being inflated because of
the risk of rupture. If there are any cracks
or bumps, turn the compressor off imme-
diately.
CAUTION
•
Do not operate the compressor for more
than 10 minutes. If the tyre pressure does
not increase to the specified pressure
within 10 minutes, the tyre may be seri-
ously damaged and the tyre cannot be re-
paired with this tyre repair kit. Contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
9. When the tyre pressure is at the specified value,
close the pressure release valve and turn the air
compressor off. If the pressure cannot be in-
flated to the specified value, the air compressor
can be turned off at the minimum of 180 kPa (1,8
bar, 26 psi) for tyre 205R16 250 kPa (2,5 bar, 36
psi). Remove the power plug from the power
outlet and quickly remove the hose from the tyre
valve. Attach the protective cap and valve cap.
Properly stow the emergency tyre puncture re-
pair kit in the storage location.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury when stowing
the emergency tyre puncture repair kit, keep the
sealant bottle screwed into the compressor. Fail-
ure to do so can cause the sealant to spray into
the air and get into your eyes or on the skin.
10. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or
3–10 km (2–6 miles) (if the road situation al-
lows) at a speed of 80 km/h (50 MPH) or less.
11. After driving 10 km (6 miles), or 10 minutes,
screw the air tube of the air compressor se-
curely onto the tyre valve. Check the tyre pres-
sure with the pressure gauge.
The temporary repair is completed if the tyre
pressure does not drop.
Make sure the pressure is adjusted to the pres-
sure that is specified on the tyre placard before
driving.
If the tyre pressure drops under 130 kPa (19
psi):
The tyre cannot be repaired with this tyre punc-
ture repair kit. Contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
If the tyre pressure is 130 kPa (19 psi) or more
but less than the specified pressure:
Turn the compressor switch to the ON (−) position
and inflate the tyre up to the specified pressure.
Then repeat the step from 8.

If the pressure drops again, the tyre cannot be
repaired with this tyre puncture repair kit. Con-
tact an approved dealer or qualified workshop.
When the tyre pressure is the specified
pressure:
The temporary repair is completed.
See an approved dealer or qualified workshop for
the repair/replacement as soon as possible.
After repairing tyre
See an approved dealer or qualified workshop for
tyre repair or replacement and for a new tyre seal-
ant bottle and hose, as soon as possible.
CAUTION
•
Before driving, ensure tyre is adjusted to rec-
ommended inflation pressure as indicated on
vehicle placard. Monitor tyre pressure until
sealed tyre is replaced.
•
Do not drive the vehicle at speeds faster than
50 MPH (80 km/h), and the damaged tyre
must be replaced as quickly as possible
(within a maximum driving distance of 200 km
(120 miles)). You must not continue to drive if
heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behaviour
or noises should occur while driving.
•
Immediately after using Emergency Tyre Seal-
ant to repair a minor tyre puncture, take your
vehicle to an approved dealer or qualified
workshop to inspect, and repair or replace
the tyre. The Emergency Tyre Sealant cannot
permanently seal a punctured tyre. Continu-
ing operation of the vehicle without a perma-
nent tyre repair can lead to a crash.
•
If you used Emergency Tyre Sealant to repair
a minor tyre puncture, your approved dealer
or qualified workshop will also need to re-
place the TPMS sensor in addition to repair-
ing or replacing the tyre.
•
RENAULT recommends using only RENAULT
Genuine Emergency Tyre Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can cause
the tyre to lose air pressure.
WARNING
•
Incorrect jump starting can lead to a battery
explosion. The battery explosion may result in
severe injury or death. It may also result in
damage to the vehicle. Be sure to follow the
instructions in this section.
•
Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in
the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks and
flames away from the battery.
•
Always wear suitable eye protection and re-
move rings, bracelets, and any other jewellery
whenever working on or near a battery.
•
Never lean over the battery while jump start-
ing.
•
Never allow battery fluid to come into contact
with eyes, skin, clothes or the vehicle’s
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive
sulphuric acid which can cause severe burns.
If the fluid comes into contact with anything,
immediately flush the contacted area with
plenty of water.
•
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
•
The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts.
Use of an incorrectly rated battery will dam-
age your vehicle.
•
Never attempt to jump start a frozen battery.
It could explode and cause serious injury.
