OPERATING FAULTS
(continued)
On the open road
CAUSES
REMEDIAL ACTION
• Steering becomes hard (more effort
required to turn steering wheel).
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 comes on
(or the gauge needle moves into the
red zone).
Water pump: belt stretched or broken.
Faulty engine cooling fan.
Stop the car 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
(after letting 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 car 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 RENAULT's Technical Department
may be used for this purpose.
