Puncture, emergency spare wheel

In case of puncture

Depending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-

tion kit or emergency spare wheel is

provided (refer to the following pages).

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

loss warning system

If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-

sure etc.), the warning light

 on

the instrument panel comes on. See

“Tyre pressure loss warning” 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.

Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the

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 identi-

cal to the original one.

– 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.

– The warning light

 on the instrument panel flashes for several seconds,

then stays on.

PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (1/2)

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.

Jaune Noir Noir texte

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 product bottle. If

droplets 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.

Kit de gonflage des pneumatiques (X06 - X10 - X98 - X87 - B98 - K98 - Renault)

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)

Depending on the vehicle, in the event

of a puncture, use the kit located in the

boot or underneath the luggage com-

partment carpet.

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

loss warning system

If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-

sure, etc.), the warning light



lights up on the instrument panel.

See “Tyre pressure loss warning” in

Section 2.

With the engine running and the

parking brake applied,

– Disconnect any accessories previ-

ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-

cessories sockets;

– Refer to the information on the in-

flation kit compressor located in the

vehicle’s luggage compartment and

follow the instructions;

– inflate the tyre to the recommended

pressure (please refer to the infor-

mation in the section on “Tyre pres-

sures”);

– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop

inflating and read the pressure (on

the pressure gauge 1);

Note: while the bottle is emptying

(approximately 30 seconds), the

pressure gauge 1 will indicate briefly

a pressure of 6 bar, then the pres-

sure drops.

– Adjust the pressure: to increase

it, continue inflation with the kit. To

reduce it, press the button 2.

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)

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.

Once the tyre is correctly inflated,

remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-

flation end piece 3 to prevent any prod-

uct spatter and store the container in

plastic packaging to prevent product

leaks.

– Affix the driving recommendation

label to the dashboard where it can

easily be seen by the driver;

– Put the kit away.

– At the end of this initial inflation op-

eration, air will still escape from the

tyre. You must drive a short distance

in order to seal the hole.

– Start immediately and drive at

between 12 and 40 mph (20 and

60 km/h) in order to distribute the

product evenly in the tyre and, after

driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and

check the pressure.

– If the pressure is greater than

1.3 bar but less than the recom-

mended pressure (refer to the label

affixed to the edge of the driver’s

door), readjust it. Otherwise, please

contact an authorised dealer: the

tyre cannot be repaired.

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.

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing valve cap can make the

tyres less airtight and may

lead to pressure loss.

Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

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.

ENG_UD47566_1

Pneumatiques (X87 - Renault)

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.

Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)

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.

tyre pressure..........................................................(current page)

5.12

ENG_UD47566_1

Pneumatiques (X87 - Renault)

Jaune Noir Noir texte

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

 on

the instrument panel comes on. See

“Tyre pressure loss warning” in

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.

BATTERY: breakdown recovery (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.

Before performing any

action in the engine com-

partment, the ignition must

be switched off by pressing

the engine stop button (please see

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.
