WARNING LIGHTS

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

warning light (if equipped)

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi-
nates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational.

If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine is
running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the system checked by a
RENAULT dealer promptly.

If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function is
turned off. The brake system then operates normally,
but without anti-lock assistance. (See “Brake system”
(P.5-36).)

Brake warning light

WARNING:

If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not
drive the vehicle until the brake system has
been checked by a RENAULT dealer.

Even if you judge it to be safe, have your
vehicle towed because driving it could be
dangerous.

Depressing the foot brake pedal without the
engine running and/or with a low brake fluid
level could increase the stopping distance
and require greater pedal travel distance
and effort.

The brake warning light indicates the parking brake
system operation, a low brake fluid level of the brake
system and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
malfunction.

Parking brake warning indicator:
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, and
the parking brake is applied, the brake warning light
illuminates. When the parking brake is released, the
brake warning light turns off.

Low brake fluid warning indicator:
If the brake warning light illuminates while the engine is
running, or while driving, and the parking brake is
released, it may indicate the brake fluid level is low.

When the brake warning light illuminates while driving,
stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Stop the
engine and check the brake fluid level. If the brake fluid
level is below the minimum mark on the reservoir, add
brake fluid as necessary. (See “Brake fluid” (P.8-18).)

If the brake fluid level is sufficient, have the brake
system checked by a RENAULT dealer promptly.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning indi-
cator (if equipped):
When the parking brake is released and the brake fluid
level is sufficient, if both the brake warning light and the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi-
nate, it may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the brake system checked, and if
necessary repaired, by a RENAULT dealer promptly.
(See “Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
(P.2-13).)

Charge warning light

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
charge warning light illuminates. After starting the
engine, the charge warning light turns off. This
indicates the charging system is operational.

If the charge warning light illuminates while the engine
is running, or while driving, it may indicate the charging
system is not functioning properly and may need
servicing.

When the charge warning light illuminates while
driving, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the alternator belt. If the
alternator belt is loose, broken or missing, the charging
system needs repair. (See “Drive belts” (P.8-15).)

If the alternator belt appears to be functioning correctly
but the charge warning light remains illuminated, have
the charging system checked by a RENAULT dealer
promptly.

loose, broken or missing.

Door open warning light (if equipped)

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
door open warning light illuminates if any of the doors
are open or not closed securely.

Electric power steering warning light

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
electric power steering warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the electric power steering warning
light turns off. This indicates the electric power
steering system is operational.

If the electric power steering warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the electric
power steering system is not functioning properly and
may need servicing. Have the electric power steering
system checked by a RENAULT dealer.

When the electric power steering warning light
illuminates with the engine running, the power assist
to the steering will cease operation but you will still
have control of the vehicle. At this time, greater
steering efforts are required to operate the steering
wheel, especially in sharp turns and at low speeds.

(See “Electric power steering system” (P.5-35).)

Engine oil pressure warning light

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
engine oil pressure warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the engine oil pressure warning
light turns off. This indicates that the oil pressure
sensors in the engine are operational.

If the engine oil pressure warning light illuminates or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate that
the engine oil pressure is low.

Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Stop the
engine immediately and call a RENAULT dealer.

CAUTION:

Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light illuminated could
cause serious damage to the engine.

The engine oil pressure warning light is not
designed to indicate a low oil level. The oil
level should be checked using the dipstick.
(See “Engine oil” (P.8-10).)

High temperature warning light (red)

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
high temperature warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates that the high temperature
sensor in the engine coolant system is operational.

CAUTION:

If the high temperature warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the
engine temperature is extremely high.

Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.

If the vehicle is overheated, continuing vehicle
operation may seriously damage the engine.
(See “If your vehicle overheats” (P.6-10) for the
immediate action required.)

Intelligent Key system warning light (if

equipped)

off.

This light illuminates or blinks as follows:
.

The light blinks in yellow when the door is closed
with the Intelligent Key left outside the vehicle and
the ignition switch in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
Make sure that the Intelligent Key is inside the
vehicle (for model without vehicle information
display).

The light blinks in green when the Intelligent Key
battery is running out of power. Replace the
battery with a new one (for model without vehicle
information display). See “Battery” (P.8-23).

The light illuminates in yellow when it warns of a
malfunction with the electrical steering lock
system or the Intelligent Key system.

If the warning light illuminates in yellow while the
engine is stopped, it may be impossible to free the
steering lock or to start the engine. If the light comes
on while the engine is running, you can drive the
vehicle. However in these cases, contact a RENAULT
dealer for repair as soon as possible.

&RQGLWLRQ

> (GLW 0RGHO .$2(0B5HQDXOW @

Low fuel warning light (if equipped)
