topping up the oil that

no oil drips onto engine

components - risk of fire.

Remember to refit the cap securely

as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes

onto hot engine components.

Never run the engine in an

enclosed space as exhaust

gases are poisonous.

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.

Coolant

The level is checked with the engine

switched off and on flat ground. The

level

when cold must be between the

“MIN” and “MAX” marks on coolant res-

ervoir 1.
Top this level up

when cold before the

“MIN” mark is reached.

Checking intervals
Check the coolant level regularly

(very severe damage is likely to be

caused to the engine if it runs out of

coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only

use products approved by our Technical

Department which ensure:
– protection against freezing;
– anticorrosion protection of the cool-

ing system.

No operations should be

carried out on the cooling

circuit when the engine is

hot.

The battery 1 does not require any

maintenance.

label A

Observe the indications on the battery:

– 2 naked flames and smoking forbid-

den;

– 3 eye protection required;

– 4 keep away from children;

– 5 explosive materials;

– 6 refer to the handbook;

– 7 corrosive materials.

Battery

The battery is a

specific

type, please ensure it is

replaced with the same

type. Consult an approved

dealer.

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.

BAtteRy

Depending on the vehicle, a system

continuously checks the battery charge

status. If the level drops, the message

“Battery low start engine” is displayed

on the instrument panel. In this case,

start the engine. Then the message

“Battery charging” appears on the in-

strument panel for the duration of the

charging time.
The charge status of your battery can

decrease especially if you use your ve-

hicle:
–  for short journeys;
–  for driving in town;
–  when the temperature drops;
–  after  extended  use  of  consumers

(radio etc.) with the engine switched

off.

Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise

you to contact an approved Dealer.

The engine may be hot

during operations in close

proximity. In addition, the

engine cooling fan may

start at any moment.

Bodywork maintenance

BODyWORk MAintenAnCe

(1/2)

you should

Wash your car frequently,

with the

engine off, with cleaning products rec-

ommended by the manufacturer (never

use abrasive products). Rinse thor-

oughly beforehand with a jet:

– spots of tree resin and industrial

grime;

– mud in the wheel arches and under-

neath the body which forms damp

patches;

–

bird droppings, which cause a

chemical reaction with the paint that

rapidly discolours paintwork and

may even cause the paint to peel

off;

wash the vehicle

immediately to

remove these marks since it is im-

possible to remove them by polish-

ing;

– salt, particularly in the wheel arches

and underneath the body after driv-

ing in areas where the roads have

been gritted.

Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves,

etc.) from the vehicle regularly.

What you should not do

Do not degrease or clean mechani-

cal components (e.g. the engine com-

partment), underneath the body, parts

with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and

painted plastic external fittings (e.g.

bumpers) using high-pressure clean-

ing equipment or by spraying on prod-

ucts not approved by our Technical

Department. Doing this could give rise

to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or

freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without

pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-

pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by

our Technical Department to remove

stains as this could damage the paint-

work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-

tions without washing the vehicle, par-

ticularly under the wheel arches and

body.

A well-maintained vehicle will last

longer. It is therefore recommended to

maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-

ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very

effective anti-corrosion products. It is

nevertheless subject to various outside

influences.

Corrosive agents in the atmosphere

– atmospheric pollution (built-up and

industrial areas),

– saline atmospheres (near the sea,

particularly in hot weather),

– seasonal and damp weather condi-

tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water

from road cleaners, etc.).

Minor impacts
Abrasive action

Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit

thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-

cautions in order to safeguard your ve-

hicle against such risks.

ENG_NU_891_892-7_L38-B32_Renault_4

Respect local regulations about wash-

ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-

hicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances

when driving on gravelled surfaces to

prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas

where the paint has been damaged, to

prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe-

riodically in order to maintain your

anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the

Maintenance Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechani-

cal components, hinges, etc., spray

them with products approved by our

Technical Department to protect them

after they have been cleaned.

In the event of a puncture,

depending on the vehicle,

you will have:

An emergency spare wheel or tyre in-

flation kit (refer to the information on the

following pages).

special note:
The tyre pressure monitor function

does not check the emergency spare

wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-

gency spare wheel disappears from the

instrument panel display). Refer to the

information on the “Tyre pressure moni-

tor” in Section 2.

If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it

checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.

Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than the

four other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with the

same dimensions as the original.

– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the

driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wheel.

– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs.

Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-

nering.

– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle

and check the tyre pressure.

Tyre inflation kit

tyre Pressure KIt

(1/3)

The kit is only approved for

inflating the tyres of the ve-

hicle originally equipped

with the kit.

It must never be used to inflate

the tyres of another vehicle, or any

other inflatable object (rubber ring,

rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when han-

dling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-

lets do leak out, rinse them off with

plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil-

dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle

in the countryside. Return it to your

approved dealer or to a recycling or-

ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service

life which is indicated on its label.

Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to re-

place the inflation tube and repair

product bottle.

The kit repairs tyres when

tread A has been dam-

aged by objects smaller

than 4 mm. It cannot repair

all types of puncture, such as cuts

larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre

sidewall B.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in

good condition.
Do not pull out the foreign body

causing the puncture if it is still in

the tyre.

Do not attempt to use the

inflation kit if the tyre has

been damaged as a result

of driving with a puncture.

You should therefore carefully check

the condition of the tyre sidewalls

before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or

punctured tyres can be dangerous

and may make the tyre impossible

to repair.
this repair is temporary
A tyre which has been punctured

should always be inspected (and re-

paired, where possible) as soon as

possible by a specialist.
When taking a tyre which has been

repaired using this kit to be replaced,

you must inform the specialist.
When driving, vibration may be felt

due to the presence of the repair

product injected into the tyre.

– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel

concerned and screw inflation

adapter 6 onto the valve;

– connect adapter 8 to the accessories

socket on the dashboard of the vehi-

cle;

– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to

the recommended pressure (check

the label affixed to the edge of the

driver’s door);

– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop

inflating and read the pressure (on

pressure gauge 4);
note: while the bottle is emptying

(approximately 30 seconds), pres-

sure gauge 4 will briefly indicate a

pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure

will drop.

tyre Pressure KIt

(2/3)

– adjust the pressure: to increase

it, continue inflating with the kit, to

reduce it, turn button 7 located on

the inflation adapter.

If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is

not reached after 15 minutes, repair

is not possible; do not drive the ve-

hicle but contact an approved dealer.

Depending on the vehicle, in the event

of a puncture, use the kit located under-

neath the luggage compartment carpet.

Before using this kit, park

the vehicle at a sufficient

distance from traffic, switch

on the hazard warning

lights, apply the handbrake, ask all

passengers to leave the vehicle and

keep them away from traffic.

If the vehicle is parked on

the hard shoulder, you must

warn other road users of

your vehicle’s presence

with a warning triangle or with other

devices as per the legislation apply-

ing to the country you are in.

tyre Pressure KIt

(3/3)

– affix driving recommendation label 9

to the dashboard where it can easily

be seen by the driver;

– store the kit;
– after the first inflation procedure the

tyre will still be leaking; it is vital to

drive in order to plug the hole;

– start immediately and drive at be-

tween 12 and 36 mph (20 and

60 km/h) to distribute the product

evenly throughout the tyre, stopping

after a distance of 2 miles (3 kilome-

tres) to check the pressure;

– If the pressure is above 1.3 bar but

lower than the recommended pres-

sure, readjust it (refer to the label

affixed to the edge of the driver’s

door), otherwise contact an ap-

proved dealer: repair is not possible.

note: after using the inflation kit, you

should visit an approved Dealer to re-

place the inflation hose and the bottle

of repair product.

Precautions when using the

kit

The kit should not be operated for more

than 15 consecutive minutes.

Nothing should be placed

around the driver’s feet

as such objects may slide

under the pedals during

sudden braking manoeuvres and

obstruct their use.

Once the tyre is inflated correctly:

– stop using the kit;
– close the integrated cap on the bottle

again;

– disconnect adapter 8;

Following repair with the kit,

do not travel further than

120 miles (200 km). In addi-

tion, reduce your speed and

under no circumstances exceed

48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,

which you must affix in a prominent

position on the dashboard, reminds

you of this.

Depending on the country or local

legislation, a tyre repaired with the

inflation kit may need to be replaced.

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.
