If you have a flat tyre, see “Flat tyre” in the “6. In

case of emergency” section.

TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE

Periodically check the pressure of the tyres, includ-

ing the spare. An incorrect tyre pressure may ad-

versely affect tyre life and vehicle handling. The tyre

pressure should be checked when tyres are COLD.

Tyres are considered COLD after the vehicle has

been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than

1.6 km (1 mile). COLD tyre pressures are shown on

the tyre placard.
Insufficient pressure can lead to an overheating of

the tyre and subsequent internal damage. At high

speeds, this could result in tread separation and

even bursting of the tyre.

TYPES OF TYRES

CAUTION
When changing or replacing tyres, be sure all

four tyres are of the same type (that is, summer,

all season or snow) and construction. An ap-

proved dealer or qualified workshop may be able

to help you with information about tyre type, size,

speed rating and availability.
Replacement tyres may have a lower speed rating

than the factory equipped tyres, and they may not

match the potential maximum vehicle speed. Never

exceed the maximum speed rating of the tyre.

All season tyres

RENAULT specifies all season tyres on some mod-

els to provide good performance all year, including

snowy and icy road conditions. All season tyres are

identified by ALL SEASON and/or M&S on the tyre

sidewall. Snow tyres have better snow traction than

all season tyres and may be more appropriate in

some areas.

Summer tyres

RENAULT specifies summer tyres on some models

to provide superior performance on dry roads. Sum-

mer tyre performance is substantially reduced in

snow and ice. Summer tyres do not have the tyre

traction rating M&S on the tyre sidewall.
If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or icy

conditions, RENAULT recommends the use of snow

or all season tyres on all four wheels.

Snow tyres

If snow tyres are needed, it is necessary to select

tyres equivalent in size and load rating to the original

equipment tyres. If you do not, it can adversely af-

fect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
Generally, snow tyres have lower speed ratings than

factory equipped tyres and may not match the po-

tential maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed the

maximum speed rating of the tyre. If you install snow

tyres, they must be the same size, brand, construc-

tion and tread pattern on all four wheels.

TYRES AND WHEELS

8-26

Maintenance and do-it-yourself

For additional traction on icy roads, studded tyres

may be used. However, some states and provinces

prohibit their use. Check local, state and provincial

laws before installing studded tyres. Skid and trac-

tion capabilities of studded snow tyres on wet or dry

surfaces may be poorer than that of non-studded

snow tyres.

Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) model

CAUTION

•

Always use tyres of the same type, size, brand,

construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and

tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do

so may result in a circumference difference

between tyres on the front and rear axles

which will cause excessive tyre wear and may

damage the transmission, transfer case and

differential gears.

•

ONLY use spare tyres specified for the 4WD

model.

If excessive tyre wear is found, it is recommended

that all four tyres be replaced with tyres of the same

size, brand, construction and tread pattern. The tyre

pressure and wheel alignment should also be

checked and corrected as necessary. Contact an

approved dealer or qualified workshop.

TYRE CHAINS

Use of tyre chains may be prohibited according to

location. Check the local laws before installing tyre

chains. When installing tyre chains, make sure that

they are of proper size for the tyres on your vehicle

and are installed according to the chain manufactur-

er’s instructions.
Use chain tensioners when recommended by the

tyre chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose

end links of the tyre chains must be secured or

removed to prevent the possibility of whipping ac-

tion damage to the wings or underbody. If possible,

avoid fully loading your vehicle when using tyre

chains. In addition, drive at a reduced speed. Oth-

erwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/or ve-

hicle handling and performance may be adversely

affected.
Tyre chains must be installed only on the rear

wheels and not on the front wheels.
Do not drive with tyre chains on paved roads which

are clear of snow. Driving with chains in such condi-

tions can cause damage to the various mechanisms

of the vehicle due to some overstress.

TYRE ROTATION

RENAULT recommends that tyres be rotated every

5,000 km (3,000 miles) for Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)

or every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) for Two-Wheel

Drive (2WD) model. However, the timing for tyre

rotation may vary according to your driving habits

and the road surface conditions. (See “Flat tyre” in

the “6. In case of emergency” section for the tyre

replacement.)

WARNING

•

After rotating the tyres, adjust the tyre pres-

sure.

•

Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle

has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles) (also

in cases of a flat tyre, etc.).

•

Do not include the spare tyre in tyre rotation.

SDI1662Z

Maintenance and do-it-yourself

8-27

•

Incorrect tyre selection, fitting, care or main-

tenance can affect vehicle safety with risk of

accident and injury. If in doubt, consult an

approved dealer or qualified workshop or the

tyre manufacturer.

TYRE WEAR AND DAMAGE

➀

: Wear indicator

➁

: Wear indicator location mark

Tyres should be periodically inspected for wear,

cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If

excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are

found, the tyre should be replaced immediately.
The original tyres have a built-in tread wear indica-

tor. When the wear indicator is visible, the tyre

should be replaced.
Improper service of a spare tyre may result in seri-

ous personal injury. If it is necessary to repair the

spare tyre, contact an approved dealer or qualified

workshop.

TYRE AGE

Never use a tyre over six years old, regardless of

whether it has been used or not.
Tyres degrade with age as well as with the vehicle

usage. Have your tyres checked and balanced often

by a repair shop or, if you prefer, an approved dealer

or qualified workshop.

CHANGING TYRES AND WHEELS

WARNING

Do not install a deformed wheel or tyre even if it

has been repaired. Such wheels or tyres could

have structural damage and could fail without

warning.
When replacing a tyre, use the same size, speed

rating and load carrying capacity as originally

equipped. (See “Tyres and wheels” in the “9. Tech-

nical information” section for recommended types

and sizes of tyres and wheels.) The use of tyres

other than those recommended or the mixed use of

tyres of different brands, construction (bias, bias-

belted, or radial), or tread patterns can adversely

affect the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance,

body-to-tyre clearance, snow chain clearance,

speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper

height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents

and could result in serious personal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason, always

replace with wheels which have the same offset

dimension. Wheels of a different offset could cause

early tyre wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling

characteristics and/or interference with the brake

discs/drums. Such interference can lead to

decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake

pad/shoe wear.

WHEEL BALANCE

Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and

tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out

of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as

required.

SPARE TYRE
Conventional spare tyre (where fitted)

A standard tyre (the same size as the road wheels)

is supplied with your vehicle.

Temporary spare tyre (where fitted)

The temporary spare tyre is a different size from the

road wheels.
Temporary spare tyres can be distinguished as fol-

lows:

— Tyre and wheel size differs from the four mounted

tyres and wheels.

— There is a label in the wheel with a speed limita-

tion.
In order to avoid malfunction adhere to the follow-

ing:

•

Never drive at speeds above 80 km/h (50 MPH).

•

Drive with special caution when a temporary

spare wheel is mounted.

SDI1663Z

8-28

Maintenance and do-it-yourself

•

Never mount more than 1 temporary spare tyre

at a time to the same vehicle.

•

For tyre inflation pressure, apply same pressure

as specified for the axle the tyre is mounted on,

unless there is another indication on the tyre

placard. See, “Tyre placard” in the “9. Technical

information” section.

•

Disable ESP when a temporary spare wheel is

mounted. See, “Electronic Stability Programme

(ESP) system (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting

and driving” section.

•

Never tow a trailer when a temporary use only

spare tyre is mounted.

Diesel fuel above 50 cetane and with less than 10

ppm of sulphur (EN590) must be used.
*

If two types of diesel fuel are available, use

summer or winter fuel properly according to

the following temperature conditions.

•

Above –7°C (20°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.

•

Below –7°C (20°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.

CAUTION

•

Do not use home heating oil, petrol or other

alternate fuels in your diesel engine. The use

of those or adding those to diesel fuel can

cause engine damage.

•

Do not use summer fuel at temperatures be-

low –7°C (20°F). The cold temperatures will

cause wax to form in the fuel. As a result, it

may prevent the engine from running

smoothly.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID

(ATF)

Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop if

checking or replacement is required.
CAUTION

•

Use only ATF that is recommended in the

Maintenance Service Booklet. Do not mix with

other fluids.

•

Using automatic transmission fluid other than

the ATF that is recommended in the Mainte-

nance Service Booklet may cause deteriora-

tion in driveability and automatic transmission

durability and may damage the automatic

transmission. Such damage is not covered by

AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM

REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT

The air conditioner system of your vehicle must be

charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a) and

the lubricant specified in the maintenance service

booklet for your vehicle..
CAUTION
Use of any other refrigerants or lubricants will

cause severe damage, and you may need to re-

place your vehicle’s entire air conditioner sys-

tem.

The release of refrigerants into the atmosphere is

prohibited in many countries and regions. The re-

frigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your vehicle will not

harm the Earth’s ozone layer. However, it may con-

tribute in a small part to the global warming effect.

RENAULT recommends that the refrigerant be ap-

propriately recovered and recycled. Contact an ap-

proved dealer or qualified workshop when servicing
