OPERATING INCIDENTS (continued)
On the open road CAUSES REMEDIAL ACTION
• Steering becomes hard to turn. Belt broken. Have the belt replaced.
Lack of oil in pump. Top up the oil (see maintenance
section).
If the problem persists, consult a
Renault Dealer.
• The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature warning light illuminates
(or the gauge needle moves into the
red zone).
Water pump: belt stretched or broken.
Faulty engine cooling fan.
Stop the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Consult a Renault Dealer.
Coolant leaks. Check the condition of hoses and
clips.
Check the expansion bottle: it should
contain coolant. If it does not, top it
up (having let it cool down). Take care
not to scald yourself. This action is
only temporary: consult your Renault
Dealer as soon as possible.
Radiator
Never fill a hot radiator with cold coolant if a considerable quantity has been lost. After any operation on the
vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling system, it must be refilled with a new mixture
prepared in the correct proportions. Reminder: only products approved by our Technical Department may be
used for this purpose.
