Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illuminates. After
starting the engine, the MIL turns off. This indicates
that the engine control system is operational.
If the MIL illuminates or blinks (if equipped) while the
engine is running, it may indicate that the engine
control system is not functioning properly and may
need servicing. Have the system checked, and if
necessary repaired, by a RENAULT dealer promptly.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on steady:
An engine control system malfunction has been
detected. Have the vehicle checked, and if necessary
repaired, by a RENAULT dealer promptly. You do not
need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) blinking (if
equipped):
An engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the engine control system. Have the vehicle
checked, and if necessary repaired, by a RENAULT
dealer promptly.
To reduce or avoid possible damage to the engine
control system when the MIL illuminates or blinks:
.
Avoid driving at speeds above 70 km/h (43 MPH).
.
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.
.
Avoid going up steep uphill grades.
.
Avoid carrying or towing unnecessary loads.
CAUTION:
.
Continuing vehicle operation without proper
servicing of the engine control system could
lead to poor driveability, reduced fuel econ-
omy, and damage to the engine control
system, which may affect the vehicle’s
warranty coverage.
.
Incorrect setting of the engine control sys-
tem may lead to non-compliance of local
and national emission laws and regulations.
Overdrive off indicator light (if
equipped)
The overdrive off indicator light illuminates when the
overdrive is turned OFF. (See “Driving with Automatic
Transmission (AT)” (P.5-11) for the use of the overdrive
off switch.)
Rear fog light indicator light (if
equipped)
The rear fog light indicator light illuminates when the
rear fog light is on. (See “Fog light switch” (P.2-32).)
Security indicator light (if equipped)
The security indicator light blinks when the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK”, “OFF” or “ACC” position. This
function indicates the Anti-Theft System* equipped on
the vehicle is operational.
(* immobilizer)
If Anti-Theft System is malfunctioning, this light will
remain on while the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position. (See “Security system” (P.3-16) for additional
information.)
Slip indicator light (if equipped)
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
slip indicator light illuminates and then turns off. This
indicates that the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system or Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system is
operational.
The slip indicator light blinks when the VDC or ESP
system is operating.
When the indicator light blinks while driving, the driving
condition is slippery and the vehicle’s traction limit is
about to be exceeded.
If the VDC or ESP off indicator light and slip indicator
light illuminate while the engine is running or while
driving, it may indicate that the VDC or ESP system is
not functioning properly and may need servicing. Have
the system checked, and if necessary repaired, by a
RENAULT dealer promptly. (See “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system (if equipped except for Europe)”
(P.5-24) or “Electronic Stability Program (ESP) System
(if equipped for Europe)” (P.5-25).)
Speed limiter indicator light (if
equipped)
This light illuminates when the speed limiter main
switch is pushed. The light turns off when the main
switch is pushed again. When the speed limiter main
switch indicator light illuminates, the speed limiter
system is operational. (See “Speed limiter (if equipped
for Europe)” (P.5-26).)
