TYRE RECOMMENDATION FOR 4WD
CAUTION
•
Always use tyres of the same size, brand, con-
struction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and
tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do
so may result in a circumference difference
between tyres on the front and rear axles,
which will cause excessive tyre wear and may
damage the transmission, transfer case and
differential gears.
•
ONLY use spare tyres specified for the Four-
Wheel Drive (4WD) models.
If excessive tyre wear is found, it is recommended
that all four tyres be replaced with tyres of the same
size, brand, construction and tread pattern. The tyre
pressure and wheel alignment should also be
checked and corrected as necessary. Contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
Snow tyres
If you install snow tyres, they must also be of the
same size, brand, construction and tread pattern
on all four wheels.
Tyre inflation pressure
Periodically check the pressures of all tyres, includ-
ing the spare, with a gauge while at a service sta-
tion. If necessary, adjust to the specified pressure.
Tyre pressures are shown on the tyre placard af-
fixed to the driver’s side centre pillar or rear access
door.
Tyre rotation
RENAULT recommends that tyres should be rotated
every 5,000 km (3,000 miles).
Snow chains
Snow chains must be installed only on the rear
wheels and not on the front wheels.
Do not drive with snow chains on paved roads that
are clear of snow. Driving with chains in such condi-
tions can cause damage to the various mechanisms
of the vehicle due to overstress. When driving on
clear paved roads, be sure to change to Two-Wheel
Drive (2WD) mode.
The rear differential lock is designed to transmit en-
gine power to the left and right rear wheels equally.
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc. or
one wheel is off the ground and the differential lock
is not on, engine power is transmitted to the wheel
with least resistance causing it to spin, leaving in-
sufficient traction on the other wheel. The rear dif-
ferential lock allows the left and right wheels to ro-
tate as a unit, enabling your vehicle to free itself.
To lock the rear differential gear:
1) Stop the vehicle completely.
2) Turn the 4WD mode switch to the 4LO position.
For operation of the 4WD mode switch, see
“Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)” earlier in
this section.
3) Push the differential lock mode switch to the ON
position.
The differential lock indicator light
will
blink in the meter and then remains on while the
differential gear is completely locked.
