The switch for the trip computer is located on the
meter panel.

When the ignition switch is placed in the “ON”
position, modes of the trip computer can be selected
by pushing the trip computer mode switch

*

A

.

Each time the trip computer mode switch

*

A

is

pushed, the display will change as follows:

ODO

? (TRIP A ? TRIP B) ? Current fuel

consumption

? Average fuel consumption ? Dis-

tance to empty (dte)

Current fuel consumption (l/100 km, km/l or
mpg)

The current fuel consumption mode shows the current
fuel consumption.

Average fuel consumption (l/100 km, km/l or
mpg)

The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset. Reset-
ting is done by pushing the trip computer mode switch

*

A

for longer than 1 second.

The display is updated every 30 seconds. At about the
first 500 m after a reset, the display shows “----”.

Distance to empty (dte — km or mls)

The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you with an
estimation of the distance that can be driven before
refueling. The dte is constantly being calculated, based
on the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and the actual fuel
consumption.

The display is updated every 30 seconds.

The dte mode includes a low range warning feature:
when the fuel level is low, the dte mode is automatically
selected and the digits blink in order to draw the
driver’s attention. Push the trip computer mode switch

*

A

to return to the mode that was selected before the

warning occurred.

When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte display
will change to “----”.
.

If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
turned off may continue to be displayed.

.

When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momenta-
rily change the display.

CHECKING BULBS

With all doors closed, apply the parking brake, fasten
the seat belts and turn the ignition switch to the “ON”
position without starting the engine. The following
lights will illuminate:

,

,

,

,

.

If equipped, the following lights will illuminate briefly
and then turn off:

or

,

,

,

,

,

(red),

(green),

,

,

,

.

If any lights fail to illuminate, it may indicate a burned-
out bulb or an open circuit in the electrical system.
Have the system checked, and if necessary repaired,
by a RENAULT dealer promptly.

Some indicators and warnings are also displayed on
the vehicle information display (if equipped) below the
speedometer. (See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-
20).)

WARNING LIGHTS

,

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

warning light (if equipped)

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi-
nates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational.

If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine is
running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the system checked by a
RENAULT dealer promptly.

If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function is
turned off. The brake system then operates normally,
but without anti-lock assistance. (See “Brake system”
(P.5-36).)

Brake warning light

WARNING:

.

If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not
drive the vehicle until the brake system has
been checked by a RENAULT dealer.

.

Even if you judge it to be safe, have your
vehicle towed because driving it could be
dangerous.

.

Depressing the foot brake pedal without the
engine running and/or with a low brake fluid
level could increase the stopping distance
and require greater pedal travel distance
and effort.

The brake warning light indicates the parking brake
system operation, a low brake fluid level of the brake
system and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
malfunction.

Parking brake warning indicator:
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, and
the parking brake is applied, the brake warning light
illuminates. When the parking brake is released, the
brake warning light turns off.

Low brake fluid warning indicator:
If the brake warning light illuminates while the engine is
running, or while driving, and the parking brake is
released, it may indicate the brake fluid level is low.

When the brake warning light illuminates while driving,
stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Stop the
engine and check the brake fluid level. If the brake fluid
level is below the minimum mark on the reservoir, add
brake fluid as necessary. (See “Brake fluid” (P.8-18).)

If the brake fluid level is sufficient, have the brake
system checked by a RENAULT dealer promptly.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning indi-
cator (if equipped):
When the parking brake is released and the brake fluid
level is sufficient, if both the brake warning light and the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi-
nate, it may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the brake system checked, and if
necessary repaired, by a RENAULT dealer promptly.
(See “Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
(P.2-13).)

Charge warning light

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
charge warning light illuminates. After starting the
engine, the charge warning light turns off. This
indicates the charging system is operational.

If the charge warning light illuminates while the engine
is running, or while driving, it may indicate the charging
system is not functioning properly and may need
servicing.

When the charge warning light illuminates while
driving, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the alternator belt. If the
alternator belt is loose, broken or missing, the charging
system needs repair. (See “Drive belts” (P.8-15).)

If the alternator belt appears to be functioning correctly
but the charge warning light remains illuminated, have
the charging system checked by a RENAULT dealer
promptly.

Instruments and controls

CAUTION:

Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is
loose, broken or missing.

Door open warning light (if equipped)

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
door open warning light illuminates if any of the doors
are open or not closed securely.

Electric power steering warning light

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
electric power steering warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the electric power steering warning
light turns off. This indicates the electric power
steering system is operational.

If the electric power steering warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the electric
power steering system is not functioning properly and
may need servicing. Have the electric power steering
system checked by a RENAULT dealer.

When the electric power steering warning light
illuminates with the engine running, the power assist
to the steering will cease operation but you will still
have control of the vehicle. At this time, greater
steering efforts are required to operate the steering
wheel, especially in sharp turns and at low speeds.

(See “Electric power steering system” (P.5-35).)

Engine oil pressure warning light

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
engine oil pressure warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the engine oil pressure warning
light turns off. This indicates that the oil pressure
sensors in the engine are operational.

If the engine oil pressure warning light illuminates or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate that
the engine oil pressure is low.

Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Stop the
engine immediately and call a RENAULT dealer.

CAUTION:

.

Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light illuminated could
cause serious damage to the engine.

.

The engine oil pressure warning light is not
