RENAULT recommends using only RENAULT
Genuine Emergency Tyre Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can cause
the tyre to lose air pressure.
WARNING

Incorrect jump starting can lead to a battery
explosion. The battery explosion may result in
severe injury or death. It may also result in
damage to the vehicle. Be sure to follow the
instructions in this section.
•
Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in
the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks and
flames away from the battery.

ately flush the contacted area with plenty of
water.
