Renault Captur (2018 year). Instruction

5.11

Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between

the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-

tial to keep them in good condition. You

must make sure that your tyres con-

form to local road traffic regulations.

When the tyre tread has been worn

to the level of the warning strips, they

become visible 2: it is then neces-

sary to replace your tyres because the

tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep

at most, resulting in poor road hold-

ing on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys

by motorway, particularly in very hot

weather, or continual driving on poorly

surfaced minor roads will lead to more

rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

Maintaining the tyres

The tyres must be in good condition

and the tread form must have sufficient

depth; tyres approved by our Technical

Department have wear warning strips

1 which are indicators moulded into

the tread at several points.

TYRES

(1/3)

Incidents which occur when

driving, such as striking the

kerb, may damage the tyres

and wheel rims, and could

also lead to misalignment of the

front or rear axle geometry. In this

case, have the condition of these

checked by an approved dealer.

5.12

Pressures should be checked when the

tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures

which may be reached in hot weather

or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are cold, assume an in-

crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.

TYRES

(2/3)

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing valve cap can make the

tyres less airtight and lead

to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

Incorrect tyre pressures

lead to abnormal tyre wear

and unusually hot running.

These are factors which

may seriously affect safety and lead

to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa-

tion.

The pressure depends on the load

and the speed of use. Adjust the

pressure according to the condi-

tions of use (refer to the label affixed

to the edge of the driver’s door).

Tyre pressures

Adhere to the tyre pressures (including

the emergency spare wheel). The tyre

pressures should be checked at least

once a month and additionally before

any long journey (refer to the label af-

fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-

sure etc.), the warning light



the instrument panel comes on. See

“Tyre pressure loss warning” in

Section 2.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on the

“Emergency spare wheel” and in-

structions on “Changing a wheel” in

Section 5.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

5.13

Use in winter

Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow

chains to the rear axle is strictly for-

bidden.
Chains cannot be fitted to tyres which

are larger than those originally fitted to

the vehicle.

TYRES

(3/3)

Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be

fitted to all four wheels to ensure that

your vehicle retains maximum adhe-

sion.
Warning: These tyres sometimes have

a specific direction of rotation and a

maximum speed index which may be

lower than the maximum speed of your

vehicle.
Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be

used for a limited period and as laid

down by local legislation. It is neces-

sary to observe the speed specified by

current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be

fitted to the two front wheels.

Chains may only be fitted

to tyres of the same size

as those originally fitted to

your vehicle.

In all cases, we would recommend

that you contact an approved dealer

who will be able to advise you on

the choice of equipment which is

most suitable for your vehicle.

17” wheels cannot be

fitted with chains.
If you wish to fit snow

chains, you must use spe-

cial equipment.
Consult an approved Dealer.

Fitting new tyres

For your safety, please re-

spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of the

same make, size, type and profile

should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-

pacity and a speed capacity at

least equal to the original tyres,

or correspond to those recom-

mended by your authorised

dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions

could endanger your safety and

affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-

ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-

hicle.

FITTING A RADIO

– In all cases, it is very important to

follow the manufacturer’s instruc-

tions carefully.

– The specifications of the brack-

ets 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 compo-

nents connected to it.

5.23

Clip 1
Remove the fuse using tweezers 1, lo-

cated at the back of flap A.

To remove the fuse from the tweezers,

slide the fuse to the side.

It is not advisable to use the free fuse

locations.

Fuses in passenger compartment A
If any electrical component does not

work, check the condition of the fuses.
Unclip the access flap A.

FUSES

(1/5)

Fuses in engine compartment B

Some functions are protected by fuses

located in the engine compartment

(unit B).

However, because of their reduced

accessibility, we advise you to have

your fuses replaced by an approved

Dealer.

To comply with current legislation, or

as a precaution, you can obtain an

emergency kit from your approved

dealer containing a set of spare

bulbs and fuses.

Check the fuse in question and replace it, if necessary, by a fuse of the

same rating.
If a fuse is fitted with too high a rating, it may cause the electrical circuit

to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipment using an ex-

cessive amount of current.
