OPERATING FAULTS
On the road
– Steering becomes heavy.
– The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature warning light comes on
(or the indicator needle is in the red
area).
Radiator: in the event of a very low water level, remember that it must not be topped up with cold water when the
engine is very hot. After any procedure 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.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
Assistance overheating;
Weak or dead battery.

WHAT TO DO
Leave to cool.
Recharge or replace the battery.
Stop the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Consult a RENAULT Dealer.
Check the condition of hoses and the
tightness of the clips.
Check the coolant reservoir: it should con-

has cooled). Take care not to scald your-
self. This action is only temporary; consult
your RENAULT Dealer as soon as pos-
