Transport d’objets : dans le coffre / attelage (X91 - D91 - Renault)

ENG_NU_939-3_D91_Renault_3

Transporting objects:

in the boot

Always position the heavi-

est items directly on the

floor. Use the lashing points

on the floor of the luggage

compartment, if these are fitted to

the vehicle. The luggage should be

loaded in such a way that no items

will be thrown forward and strike the

occupants if the driver has to brake

suddenly. Fasten the rear seat belts,

even if the seats are not occupied.

Always place the objects to be trans-

ported so that their largest side rests

against the back of the rear bench seat

for normal loads (e.g.: A), or against the

back of the front seats when the rear

bench seatbacks are folded down.
If you have to place objects on the

folded seat back, it is vital that you

remove the headrests before folding

the seat back so that it can be folded as

flat as possible against the seat.

Transporting objects on the

roof

The fitting of roof bars is not permitted

on this vehicle.

Bonnet

Opening the bonnet

Lift the bonnet and release stay 4 from

its holder 5. For your own safety, it is

very important to fix the stay into re-

tainer 3 in the bonnet.

To open, pull handle 1 located on the

left-hand side of the dashboard.

In the event of even a slight

impact involving the radia-

tor grille or bonnet, have

the bonnet lock checked by

an approved dealer as soon as pos-

sible.

The engine may be hot

when carrying out opera-

tions in close proximity. In

addition, the engine cooling

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

Unlocking the bonnet catch

To unlock, lift tab 2 (hook A will release

the bonnet).

Deactivate the Stop and

Start function for any opera-

tion performed in the engine

After carrying out any work

in the engine compart-

ment, check that nothing

has been left behind (cloth,

tools, etc.).

These may damage the engine or

cause a fire.

general information

enGIne OIL LeVeL: general information

(1/2)

Minimum oil level warning on

the instrument panel

When the message “test of functions

being checked” appears on the instru-

ment panel, press one of the buttons 3

or 4.

If the level is above the minimum

level : the display shows “oil level cor-

rect accompanied by squares 1 which,

when the level drops, are replaced by

dashes 2.
note: the detailed level cannot be dis-

played if the vehicle was previously

only driven for a short time.

If the minimum level has been

reached: the message “Adjust oil level”

and warning light

lights up on

the instrument panel.

It is vital to top up the oil as soon as

possible.
note : To advance to trip computer

reading, press button 3 or 4 again.

The display only warns the

driver if the oil level is at the

minimum level. It does not

inform the driver that the oil

level has exceeded the maximum

level as this can only be measured

using a dipstick.

It is normal for an engine to use oil for

lubrication and cooling of moving parts

and it is normal to top up the level be-

tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved

Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being

consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km)

after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil

level from time to time and certainly

before any long journey to avoid the

risk of damaging your engine.

Reading the oil level

The oil level should be read with the ve-

hicle on level ground, after the engine

has been switched off for some time.
the dipstick must be used to read

the exact oil level and make sure

that the maximum level has not been

exceeded (risk of engine damage).

Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only

alerts the driver when the oil level is at

its minimum.

pushed in as far as it will go or that the

cap-type dipstick is completely screwed

in.

enGIne OIL LeVeL: general information

Reading the level using the

dipstick

– remove the dipstick (refer to the fol-

lowing pages for its location) and

wipe it with a clean lint-free cloth;

– push the dipstick in as far as it will go

(for vehicles equipped with a “cap-

type dipstick” C, screw the cap in

completely);

– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall

below minimum mark A or exceed

maximum mark B.

Consult your approved Dealer at

once if you notice an abnormal or

repeated drop in any of the fluid

levels.

The engine may be hot

when carrying out opera-

tions in close proximity. In

addition, the engine cooling

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

exceeding the maximum

engine oil level

The oil level should only be read with

the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum

level,

do not start your vehicle and

contact an approved Dealer.

Under no circumstances

should maximum filling

could damage the engine

and the catalytic converter.

– Unscrew cap 1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-

pacity between the minimum and

maximum reading on the dipstick 2

is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depend-

ing on the engine);

– wait for approximately 20 minutes to

allow the oil to flow into the engine;

– check the level using dipstick 2 (as

described above).

Once the operation has been com-

pleted, ensure that the dipstick is

pushed in as far as it will go or that the

Remember to refit the cap securely

as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes

onto hot engine components.
