additional lights

If you wish to fit fog lights or long range

headlights to your vehicle, consult an

approved Dealer.

Any operation on (or modi-

fication to) the electrical

system must be performed

by an approved dealer

since an incorrect connection might

damage the electrical equipment

(harness, components and in partic-

ular the alternator). In addition, your

Dealer has all the parts required for

fitting these units.

Front fog lights 1

However, because the front bumper

needs to be removed,

you are advised

to have your bulbs replaced by an

approved dealer.

The bulbs are under pres-

sure and can break when

replaced.
Risk of injury.

If any electrical component does not

work, check the condition of the fuses.
Unclip cover A or B (depending on ve-

hicle).

tweezers 1

Remove the fuse using tweezers 3, lo-

cated at the back of cover A or B.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers,

slide the fuse to the side.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse

locations.

Fuses

INCORRECT

CORRECT

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.

Fuses

(1/2)

In accordance with local legislation

or as a precautionary measure:
Obtain an emergency kit containing

a set of spare bulbs and fuses from

an approved Dealer.

Battery

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.

Attach positive lead A to mounting 1

attached to (+) terminal 2 then to

(+)

terminal 3 of the battery supplying

the current.
Attach the negative lead B to the

(– )

terminal 4 of the battery supplying

the current, then to the (–)

terminal 5

of the discharged battery.
Start the engine. As soon as it is run-

ning, disconnect leads A and B in the

reverse order

( 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 ).

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.

replacing the battery

When the message “Low card battery”

appears on the instrument panel, re-

place the RENAULTcard battery, press

button 1, pulling on emergency key 2,

then unclip 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.
note: it is not advisable to touch the

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.

Check that the cover is clipped shut.
