It is not advisable to use the free fuse

locations.

Check the fuse in question

and replace it, if neces-

sary, by a fuse of the same

rating.

If a fuse is fitted where the rating is

too high, it may cause the electrical

circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the

event of an item of equipment using

an excessive amount of current.

BATTERY: troubleshooting

(1/2)

To avoid all risk of sparks:

– Ensure that any electrical consumers

(courtesy lights, etc.) are switched

off before disconnecting or recon-

necting the battery.

– When charging, stop the charger

before connecting or disconnecting

the battery.

– Do not place metal objects on the

battery to avoid creating a short cir-

cuit between the terminals.

– Always wait at least one minute after

the engine has been switched off

before disconnecting a battery.

– Make sure that you reconnect the

battery terminals after refitting.

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger must be com-

patible with a battery with nominal

voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the

engine is running. Follow the instruc-

tions given by the manufacturer of

the battery charger you are using.

Special procedures may be

required to charge some

batteries. Contact your ap-

proved dealer.

Avoid all risk of sparks which may

cause an immediate explosion, and

charge the battery in a well-venti-

lated area. Risk of serious injury.

Handle the battery with care

as it contains sulphuric acid,

which must not come into

contact with eyes or skin. If

it does, wash the affected area with

plenty of cold water. If necessary,

consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot

objects and sparks do not come into

contact with the battery as there is a

risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when car-

rying out operations in close prox-

imity. In addition, the engine cooling

fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.

Before performing any

action in the engine com-

partment, the ignition must

be switched off by pressing

the engine stop button (please see

the information on “Starting, stop-

ping the engine” in Section 2).

5.29

Connect the positive cable A to the

support 1 on the (+) terminal, then to

the (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup-

plying the current.
Connect the negative cable B to the (–)

terminal 3 of the battery supplying the

current and then to the (–) terminal 4 of

the discharged battery.
Start the engine, and as soon as it starts

running, disconnect cables A and B in

reverse order ( 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 ).

Starting the vehicle using the

battery from another vehicle

If you have to use the battery from an-

other vehicle to start, obtain suitable

jump leads (with a large cross section)

from an approved dealer or, if you al-

ready have jump leads, ensure that

they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden-

tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The

battery supplying the current should

have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which

is at least the same as that of the dis-

charged battery.
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 supply-

ing the current and run it at an interme-

diate engine speed.

BATTERY: troubleshooting

(2/2)

Check that there is no con-

tact between leads A and B

and that the positive lead A

is not touching any metal

parts on the vehicle supplying the

current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the

vehicle.

Operating faults

If the battery is too weak to ensure cor-

rect operation, you may start (insert the

RENAULT card in the card reader) and

lock/unlock the vehicle (refer to the in-

formation on “Locking/unlocking the

doors” in Section 1).

RENAULT CARD: battery

Replacing the battery

When the message “Keycard battery

low” appears on the instrument panel,

replace the RENAULT card battery,

press button 1 pulling on emergency

key 2, then unclip the cover 3 using

tab 4.

Remove the battery by pressing on one

side (movement A) and by lifting the

other (movement B) then replace it, en-

suring the polarity and model, shown

on cover 3 are respected.

Do not throw away your

used batteries; give them to

an organisation responsible

for collecting and recycling

batteries.

When refitting, proceed in the reverse

order, then press one of the buttons on

the card four times, close to the vehicle:

the next time the vehicle is started, the

message will disappear.

electronic circuit or contacts on the

RENAULT card when replacing the bat-

tery.

The batteries are available from approved Dealers, and their service life approxi-

mately two years. Check that there is no dye on the battery: risk of an incorrect

electrical contact.

FITTING A RADIO

If your vehicle is not fitted with an audio

system, one can be fitted and locations

have been provided for:
– the radio 1;

– tweeter speakers 2;

– bass speakers 3.
To install any equipment, please con-

sult an approved dealer.

Radio location 1

Unclip the blanking cover. The aerial, +

and – supply and speaker wire connec-

tions are located behind it.

– In all cases, it is very important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions care-

fully.

– The specifications of the brackets and wires (available from our network) vary

depending on the equipment level of your vehicle and the type of radio.

Consult an approved Dealer to find out the correct part number.
– No work may be carried out on the vehicle’s electrical or radio circuits, except

by approved dealers: an incorrectly connected system may result in damage

being caused to the electrical equipment and/or the components connected to

it.

ACCESSORIES

Electrical and electronic accessories

Before installing this type of accessory (particularly for transmitters/receivers: frequency bandwidth, power level, po-

sition of the aerial, etc.), make sure it is compatible with your vehicle. You can get advice from an authorised dealer.
Connect accessories with a maximum power of 120 watts only. Fire hazard.

No work may be carried out on the vehicle’s electrical or radio circuits, except by authorised dealers: an incorrectly connected

system may result in damage being caused to the electrical equipment and/or the components connected to it.

If the vehicle is fitted with any aftermarket electrical equipment, make sure that the installation is correctly protected by a fuse.

Establish the rating and position of this fuse.

Use of transmission/receiving devices (telephones, CB equipment etc.).

Telephones and CB equipment with integrated aerials may cause interference to the electronic systems originally fitted to the

vehicle: it is advisable only to use equipment with an external aerial. Furthermore, we remind you of the need to conform

to the legislation in force concerning the use of such equipment.

Fitting after-market accessories

If you wish to install accessories on the vehicle: please contact an authorised dealer. Also, to ensure the correct operation of

your vehicle, and to avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use only accessories specifically designed for your

vehicle, which are the only accessories for which the manufacturer will provide a warranty.

If you are using an anti-theft device, only attach it to the brake pedal.
Obstructions to the driver

On the driver’s side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-fitted components, and check the fitting regu-

larly. Do not lay one mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the pedals.

– In frosty weather, make

sure that the wiper blades

are not stuck by ice (to

avoid the risk of the motor

overheating).

–

Check the condition of the wiper

blades.

Replace the wiper blades as soon

as they begin to lose efficiency

(approximately once a year).

Whilst changing the blade, take care

not to drop the arm onto the window

after it has been removed as this

may break the window.
