Get Driving -> Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Guide for Renault Megane SUV First Generation (1995-2002)

TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR

This system continuously monitors

the tyre pressures.

A

Tyre pressures should be adjusted

when the tyres are cold

B

If tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are cold, assume an

increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Operating principle

Each wheel (except the emergency

spare wheel) has a sensor integrated

in the inflation valve which

periodically measures the tyre

pressure.

The driver is constantly informed of

the correct tyre pressures and

possible variations on display A

and the instrument panel B.

This function is an

additional driving aid.

However, the function

does not take the place of the

driver. It cannot, therefore, under

any circumstances replace the

vigilance or the responsibility of

the driver.

Check the tyre pressures,

including the emergency spare

wheel, once a month.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR (continued)

Spare wheel

The emergency spare wheel does

not have a sensor and so cannot be

detected by the system.

When it is fitted in place of another

wheel, the system detects a fault a

certain time after installation.

As there are special precautions to

be taken when replacing tyres, we

advise you to consult your Renault

Dealer.

Non-interchangeability of wheels

To mark the correct position of the

wheel, see the colour of the ring 2

(after cleaning, if necessary) on each

valve:

- C: yellow ring

- D: black ring

- E: red ring

Tyre repair aerosols

Because the wheels are specially

designed, use only products

approved by Renault's Technical

Department.

Each of the sensors

incorporated in valve 1 is

dedicated to one single

wheel:

under

no

circumstances should you swap

the wheels.

- F: green ring

There is

a

risk of false

information which could have

serious consequences.

faulty wheel(s) flashing

Meaning: the flashing wheel is slight flat or over-inflated, check the tyre pressures.

flashing +

lit up +

faulty wheel(s) flashing

Meaning: the flashing wheel is very flat, stop as soon as possible and check the tyre pressures.

lit up +

faulty wheel(s) flashing

Meaning: puncture, replace the wheel concerned or call your Renault Dealer.

lit up +

no faulty wheel(s) lit up

Meaning: system fault (if, for example, the emergency spare wheel is fitted or winter tyres are fitted). It is activated a

certain time after installation.

lit up

Meaning: driving speed is not suited to the tyre pressures. Slow down or inflate the tyres to the full load pressure (see

the “tyre pressures” table).
