For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not being driven.

We would advise you not to recline the seatbacks too far to ensure that the effectiveness of the seat belts is not reduced.

Nothing should be placed on the floor (area in front of driver) as such objects may slide under the pedal during braking manoeuvres, thus obstructing its use.

SEAT BELTS (1/4)

Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.

Before starting, first adjust your driving position, then ask all passengers to adjust their seat belts to ensure optimum protection.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - SEAT BELTS (1/4) - 1

Incorrectly adjusted or twisted seat belts may cause injuries in the event of an accident.

Use one seat belt per person, whether child or adult.

Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this case, ensure that the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen, but do not allow any slack.

Adjusting your driving position

- Sit well back in your seat (having first removed your coat or jacket). This is essential to ensure your back is positioned correctly;

- adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat should be as far back as possible while still allowing you to depress the clutch pedal fully. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel;

- adjust the position of your headrest. For safety reasons, the top of the headrest must be level with the top of the head;

- adjust the height of the seat. This adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible view;

- adjust the position of the steering wheel.

Refer to the information on the "Steering wheel" in Section 1.

13622 ① ②

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.

Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as possible to the base of the neck but not on it.

Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the thighs and against the pelvis.

The belt should be worn so that it is as close as possible to your body, i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects under the belts, etc.

SEAT BELTS (2/4)

13622 ① ③ ④ ⑤

To fasten

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly and ensure that buckle 3 locks into catch 5 (check that it is locked by pulling on buckle 3).

If the belt jams before it clicks in, allow it to return before attempting to unwind it again.

If your seat belt is completely jammed, pull slowly, but firmly so that just over 3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again.

If there is still a problem, contact an approved dealer.

SEAT BELTS (4/4)

The following information applies to the vehicle's front and rear seat belts.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - SEAT BELTS (4/4) - 1

- No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.

- Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.

  • Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
  • Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
  • The belt should never be twisted.
  • Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
  • When putting back the rear bench seat, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.
  • Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
  • Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly secured.
  • Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)

These are:

  • pretensioners,
  • chest and lap belt force limiters,
  • air bags for driver and front passenger.

These systems are designed to operate independently or together in the event of a front, side or rear impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger:

  • seat belt locking;
  • the lap belt pretensioner to keep the occupant in their seat, the low volume front air bag and the force limiter; – the large volume air bag.

Illustration of a robotic device with labeled parts, showing internal components and motion lines (no text or symbols)

Pretensioners

With the ignition switched on, if the vehicle is subjected to a significant frontal impact the system may, depending on the severity of impact, trigger piston 1 which instantly retracts the belt.

The pretensioners flatten the belt against the body, holding the occupant against the seat, thus improving the efficiency of the belt.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Pretensioners - 1

- Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.

- No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, air bags, computers, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.

  • To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified personnel from an approved dealer may work on the pretensioner and air bag system.
  • The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially trained technician using special equipment.
  • When the vehicle is scrapped, contact an approved dealer for disposal of the pretensioner and air bag gas generators.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)

Chest-level and lap belt load limiters

Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.

Air bags for driver and front passenger

Fitted to the driver and passenger side.

The presence of this equipment is indicated by the word "Air bag" on the steering wheel and the dashboard (air bag zone A) and, depending on the vehicle, a label on the lower part of the windscreen.

Each air bag system consists of:

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Air bags for driver and front passenger - 2

The air bag system uses pyrotechnic principles. This explains why, when the air bag inflates, it will gener-

ate heat, produce smoke (this does not mean that a fire is about to start) and make a noise upon detonation. In a situation where an air bag is required, it will inflate immediately and this may cause some minor, superficial grazing to the skin or other problems.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)

Operation

This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.

In a severe frontal impact, the air bags inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver's head and chest against the steering wheel and of the front passenger against the dashboard. The air bags then deflate immediately so that the passengers are not in any way hindered from leaving the vehicle.

3D rendered mechanical device with transparent wireframe overlay, no visible text or symbols

Special feature of the front air bag

There are two volumes of operation depending on the severity of the impact:

  • low volume air bag, this is the first stage of operation; – large volume air bag, the straps are torn in order to allow the air bag to inflate to a higher volume (in the event of more severe impacts).

Operating faults

Warning light 1 will light up on the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on and then go out after a few seconds.

If it does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or comes on when the engine is running, there is a fault in the system.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be reduced until this fault is rectified.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4) - 1

Warnings concerning the driver's air bag

- Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.

- Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.

  • Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
  • The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).
  • When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on "Adjusting your driving position" in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger air bag

  • Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
  • Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
  • The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).
  • The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

(refer to Section 1 "Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag")

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTS

Force limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Force limiter - 1

– Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.

- No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the system (air bags, electronic control units, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.

- Only qualified personnel from our Network may work on the air bags; otherwise the system may trigger accidentally and cause injury.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side air bags

This air bag may be fitted to each of the front seats and is activated at the sides of the seats (door side) to protect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.

Curtain air bags

These air bags may be fitted along the top of each side of the vehicle and are triggered along the front and rear side windows to protect the passengers in the event of a severe side impact.

Depending on the vehicle, a marking on the windscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (air bags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passenger compartment.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Curtain air bags - 1

These air bags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never insert any objects in slits.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Curtain air bags - 2

Warnings concerning the side air bag

- Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved dealer to find out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.

  • Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
  • No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
  • The area between the rear bench seatback and the trim is the area of air bag operation: no objects must be placed here.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

All the warnings below are given so that air bag activation is not obstructed in any way and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT - 1

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.

If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.

  • No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air bag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
  • To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel may work on the air bag system.
  • As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
  • When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this driver's handbook with the vehicle.
  • When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)

Carrying children

Children - and adults - must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehicle are your responsibility.

A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection. Use an approved child seat and ensure you use it correctly.

Using a child seat

The level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to restrain your child and on its installation. Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact.

Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations for the country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an approved dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle.

Before fitting a child seat, read the manual and follow its instructions. If you experience any difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Keep the instructions with the seat.

For vehicles fitted with a TRIPTIC rear bench seat, configuring it as a 2-seater bench seat with the large section of the seatback folded down prevents the remaining place being used for fitting child seats using the vehicle seat belt, as it is not possible to fasten it (seat belt buckle inaccessible).

Set a good example by always fastening your seat belt and teaching your child:

- to strap themselves in correctly. - to always get in and out of the car at the kerb, away from busy traffic.

Do not use a second-hand child seat or one without an instruction manual.

Check that there are no objects in the vicinity of the child seat which could impede its operation.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Using a child seat - 1

Driver's responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle

Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or by locking the doors.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

RENAULT Modus (2008) - CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2) - 1

Never leave a child unattended in the vehicle.

Check that your child is always strapped in and that

the belt or safety harness used is correctly set and adjusted. Avoid wearing bulky clothing which could cause the belts to slacken.

Never let your child put their head or arms out of the window.

Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, especially if asleep.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2) - 2

To prevent the doors being opened, use the "Child safety" device (refer to the information on "Opening

RENAULT Modus (2008) - CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2) - 3

A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres.

Transporting a child without

a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a fourth-floor balcony without railings.

Never travel with a child held in your arms. In the event of an accident, you will not be able to keep hold of the child, even if you yourself are wearing a seat belt.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child seat and have the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat

Illustration of a car seatbelt with a person seated inside (no text or symbols)

Rear-facing child seats

A baby's head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this position for as long as possible (until the age of 2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck.

Choose a bucket type seat for best side protection and change it as soon as the child's head is higher than the shell.

Illustration of a child wearing a baby seatbelt, lying on the back with hands resting (no text or symbols)

Forward-facing child seats

The child's head and abdomen need to be protected as a priority. A forward-facing child seat which is firmly attached to the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact to the head. Ensure your child travels in a forward-facing seat with a harness or buckle for as long as their size permits. Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.

Illustration of a person seated in a car seatbelt seat, no text or symbols present

Booster cushions

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can travel using a booster seat, which will enable the seat belt to be adapted to suit his/her size and shape. The booster seat cushion must be fitted with guides to position the seat belt on the child's thighs rather than the stomach. It is recommended that you use a seat-back fitted with a belt strap guide which can be adjusted in terms of height to position the seat belt in the centre of the shoulder. It must never rest on the neck or on the arm.

Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.

CHILD SAFETY: Choosing a child seat mounting

There are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the ISOFIX system.

Attachment via the seat belt

The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact.

Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are respected.

Always check that the seat belt is correctly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.

Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front: the seat should remain firmly fixed.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Attachment via the seat belt - 1

Triptic rear bench seat

If the rear bench seat is in the two-seater position with the large section of the

seatback folded down, this prevents the remaining seat being used for the installation of a child seat using the vehicle seat belt, as it is not possible to fasten the seat belt (seat belt buckle not accessible).

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Triptic rear bench seat - 1

Do not use the child seat if it may unfasten the seat belt restraining it: the base of the seat must not rest on

the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Triptic rear bench seat - 2

The seat belt must never be twisted or have tension relieved. Never pass the shoulder strap under the

arm or behind the back.

Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges.

If the seat belt does not operate normally, it will not protect the child.

Consult an approved dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Triptic rear bench seat - 3

No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts, ISOFIX and seats or mountings) originally fitted.

Attachment with the ISOFIX system

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are approved in accordance with regulation ECE-R44 in one of the three following scenarios:

– ISOFIX universal 3-point forward-facing seat

- ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat - specific

For the latter two, check that your child seat can be installed by consulting the list of compatible vehicles.

Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.

The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings and, in some cases, a third ring.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Attachment with the ISOFIX system - 1

Before using an ISOFIX child seat that you purchased for another vehicle, check that its installation is

authorised. Consult the list of vehicles which can be fitted with the seat with the equipment manufacturer.

The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child seats with the ISOFIX

system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat belt or other objects to these fittings.

Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX fittings checked and replace your child seat.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/6)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagrams on the following pages show you how to attach a child seat.

The types of child seats indicated may not be available. Before using a different child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/6) - 1

Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.

Check that when installing the child seat in the vehicle

it is not at risk of coming loose from its base.

If you have to remove the headrest, check that it is correctly stored so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.

Always attach the child seat to the vehicle even if it is not in use so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.

In the front seat

The laws concerning children travelling in the front passenger seat differ in every country. Consult the legislation in force and follow the indications on the diagrams on the following pages.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if authorised):

– lower the seat belt as far as possible; - move the seat as far back as possible; - gently tilt the seatback away from vertical (approximately 25°); – on equipped vehicles, raise the seat base as far as possible.

Do not change these settings after the child seat is installed.

Interpreting some of the values displayed after resetting

The values showing average fuel consumption, range and average speed will become more stable and reliable the further you travel after pressing the reset button.

For the first few miles after pressing the reset button you may notice:

- that the range increases as you travel. This is normal, as average fuel consumption may decrease when:

– the vehicle stops accelerating; - the engine reaches its operating temperature (if the engine was cold when reset button was pressed); - when driving from a built-up area onto the open road.

- You may also notice that the average fuel consumption increases when the vehicle is stationary and the engine idling.

This is normal, since the computer takes account of fuel used during idling.

028 ② A

RENAULT Modus (2008) - FUEL TANK (1/2) - 3

Fuel filler cap: this is of a special type.

If you have to replace it, make sure it is identical

to the original cap. Contact an approved Dealer.

Never place the cap near a source of heat or flame.

Do not wash the filler area with a high-pressure washer.

Fuel grade

Use a high grade fuel that complies with the standards currently in force in each country.

Diesel version

It is essential to use diesel fuel that conforms with the information given on the label inside cover A.

Make sure that no water accidentally enters the fuel tank during filling. The shut-off system and its surrounding area must be dust-free.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Diesel version - 1

Do not mix even small amounts of petrol (unleaded or E85) with diesel.

Do not use ethanol-based fuel; our vehicle is not compatible with this type of fuel.

Do not add any additives to the fuel, as you risk damaging the engine.

FUEL TANK (2/2)

Petrol version

It is essential to use unleaded petrol. The octane rating (RON) must conform with the specifications given on the label inside fuel filler flap A. Refer to the information on "Engine specifications" in Section 6.

Special features of vehicles running on ethanol-based fuel:

It is essential to use unleaded petrol or fuel containing a maximum of 85% ethanol (E85).

To make it easier to start the engine in very cold conditions, it is recommended to use unleaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles, to use the heater integrated in the engine.

In this case, connect the special end of the extension piece supplied into the socket integrated into the radiator grille and the other end into a 220V socket for at least 6 hours before starting.

Note: when using ethanol-based fuel, you may notice over-consumption.

Filling up with fuel

Petrol versions

Using leaded petrol will damage the antipollution system and may lead to a loss of warranty.

To ensure the fuel tank is not filled with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler neck contains a restrictor fitted with a foolproof system which only allows the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be used (at the pump):

  • Insert the nozzle so that the valve is pushed back and fully insert it before beginning to fill the fuel tank, (risk of splash-back);
  • Keep the nozzle in this position throughout the entire filling operation.

Petrol and diesel versions

When the pump cuts out automatically at the end of the filling procedure, a maximum of two further filling attempts may be made, as there must be sufficient space in the fuel tank to allow for expansion.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Petrol and diesel versions - 1

Persistent smell of fuel

If you notice a persistent smell of fuel you should:

  • stop the vehicle as soon as traffic conditions allow and switch off the ignition;
  • switch on the hazard warning lights and ask your passengers to leave the vehicle and to keep away from traffic;
  • contact an approved Dealer.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Persistent smell of fuel - 1

No modifications whatsoever are permitted on any part of the fuel supply system (computers, wiring,

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS

The following operating conditions:

– driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit; – using leaded petrol; – using fuel or lubrication additives which are not approved.

Or operating faults such as:

  • faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs resulting in the engine misfiring or cutting out when driving;
  • loss of power,

as they may cause the catalytic converter to overheat and thus reduce its efficiency, or damage it irreparably and cause heat damage to the vehicle.

If you notice any of the above operating faults, have the necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible by an approved Dealer.

These faults may be avoided by regularly taking your vehicle to an approved Dealer at the intervals specified in the Maintenance Service Booklet.

Starting problems

To avoid damaging the catalytic converter, do not keep trying to start the engine (using the start button, or by pushing or towing the vehicle) without having identified and corrected the starting fault.

If the fault cannot be identified, do not keep trying to start the engine, but contact an approved Dealer.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Starting problems - 1

Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such

as grass or leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS

Diesel engine speed

Diesel engines are fitted with injection equipment which prevents the engine speed being exceeded irrespective of the gear selected.

If the message "Check anti-pollution system" is displayed on the instrument

panel accompanied by the 📄 and warning light; consult an approved dealer straight away.

When driving, depending on the fuel grade used, it is possible that white smoke may be emitted.

This is due to the exhaust particle filter being cleaned automatically, and does not affect the way the vehicle runs.

Running out of fuel

If the tank has been completely drained, the system must be reprimed after the tank is refilled: see information on the "fuel tank" in section 1 before restarting the engine.

Precautions to be taken in winter

To avoid any faults in icy weather:

– ensure that the battery is always fully charged, – always keep the diesel tank relatively full to avoid water vapour condensing in it and accumulating at the bottom of the tank.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Precautions to be taken in winter - 1

Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such as or leaves can come into with the hot exhaust system.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS FITTED WITH A PARTICLE FILTER

Depending on the vehicle, the warning light comes on to indicate a filter saturation risk.

Within 60 miles (100 km) of the message appearing, drive at an average speed of 24 mph (40 km/h), as traffic conditions and speed limits allow, until the warning light goes out. If the vehicle is stopped before the message disappears you will have to restart the process from the beginning.

As a guide, this type of cleaning should take up to 20 minutes.

If the message "Check antipollution" is displayed on the instrument panel accompanied by the 📄 and

warning lights; consult an approved dealer straight away.

An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result

in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: deformation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer.

Power Assisted Steering

Never drive with an inadequately charged battery.

Variable power assisted steering

The variable power assisted steering system is equipped with an electronic control system which alters the level of assistance to suit the vehicle speed.

Steering is made easier during parking manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst the force needed to steer increases progressively as the speed rises (for enhanced safety at high speeds).

Never leave the steering wheel on full lock when the vehicle is stationary.

When stationary and depending on the slope and/or vehicle load, it may be necessary to pull up the hand at least two extra notches and a gear (1st or reverse gear) classes with a manual gearbox on P for vehicles with an au-gearbox.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)

By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle conforms to current antipollution regulations. The manufacturer is actively striving to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy. But the fuel consumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are also your responsibility. Ensure that it is maintained and used correctly.

Aiding fuel economy

Depending on the vehicle, in order to optimise consumption, the trip computer and warning system will inform you of the best moment to upshift or downshift gears:

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Aiding fuel economy - 1

upshift a gear;

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Aiding fuel economy - 2

shift down a gear.

Maintenance

It is important to remember that failure to respect antipollution regulations could lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel supply system and exhaust components with parts other than those originally recommended by the manufacturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.

Have your vehicle adjusted and checked by an approved dealer, in accordance with the instructions given in your maintenance schedule: they will have all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.

Engine adjustments

  • ignition: this does not require adjustment.
  • spark plugs: for optimum fuel economy, efficiency and performance the specifications laid down by our Design Department must be strictly applied.

If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle's engine. Contact an approved dealer for this.

– idling speed: this does not require adjustment. - air filter, diesel filter: a clogged element hinders performance. It must be replaced.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)

Exhaust gas monitoring system

The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle's antipollution system.

If this system malfunctions, toxic substances may be released into the atmosphere or damage may occur.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Exhaust gas monitoring system - 1

This warning light on the instrument panel will indicate if

there are any faults in the system: This lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out when the engine is started.

  • If it lights up continuously, consult an approved Dealer as soon as possible;
  • if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.

Driving

  • Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the vehicle is stationary.
  • Speed is expensive.
  • Do not overrev the engine in the intermediate gears. Always use the highest gear possible without labouring the engine. On versions with an automatic gearbox, it is preferable to keep the gear lever in position D.
  • Avoid sudden acceleration.
  • Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.
  • Brake as little as possible. If you anticipate an obstacle or bend in advance, you may then simply release the accelerator pedal.
  • Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.
  • Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary in modern vehicles. – Bad weather, flooded roads

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Driving - 1

Do not drive through floods if the water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Driving - 2

Obstructions to the driver On the driver's side, only use mats adapted to the vehicle that attach to the pre-

installed parts, and regularly check their mounting. Do not place several mats on top of each other.

Risk of pedals jamming

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)

+ 4 %

Advice on use

  • Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are not really needed. However (safety first), keep your lights on when the visibility is bad ("see and be seen").
  • Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h) will increase fuel consumption by 4%.

- In vehicles fitted with air conditioning, it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (especially in urban conditions) when it is used. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.

Advice for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:

If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.

  • Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.
  • Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
  • It is better to fit a trailer for bulky objects.
  • When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.

26528 + - +

- Avoid using the vehicle for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits in between) because the engine never reaches its normal operating temperature.

Tyres

  • An under-inflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
  • The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

ENVIRONMENT

Your vehicle has been designed with respect for the environment in mind for its entire service life: during production, use and at the end of its life.

This commitment is illustrated by the eco2 signature of the manufacturer.

Manufacture

Your vehicle has been manufactured at a factory which complies with a policy to reduce the environmental impact on the surrounding areas (reduction of water and energy consumption, visual and noise pollution, atmospheric emissions and waste water; sorting and reusing waste).

Emissions

Your vehicle has been designed to emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) while in use, and therefore to consume less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to 5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).

Our vehicles are also equipped with a particle filter system including a catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor and an active carbon filter (the latter prevents vapour from the fuel tank being released into the open air).

For certain diesel vehicles, this system also has a particle filter to reduce the volume of soot particles emitted.

Please make your own contribution towards protecting the environment too.

Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehicle battery, oil filter, air filter, batteries, etc.) and oil containers (empty or filled with used oil) must be disposed of through specialist organizations.

  • At the end of the vehicle's service life, it should be sent to approved centers to ensure that it is recycled. In all cases, comply with local legislation.

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95% recoverable.

To achieve these objectives, many of the vehicle components have been designed to enable them to be recycled. The materials and structures have been carefully designed to allow these components to be easily removed and reprocessed by specialist companies.

In order to preserve raw material resources, this vehicle incorporates numerous parts made from recycled plastics or renewable materials (vegetable or animal-derived materials such as cotton or wool).

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS

Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents the wheels from locking, allowing the stopping distance to be managed and keeping control of the vehicle.

Under these circumstances, the vehicle can be steered to avoid an obstacle whilst braking. In addition, this system can increase stopping distances, particularly on roads with low surface grip (wet ground, etc.).

You will feel a pulsation through the brake pedal each time the system is activated. The ABS does not in any way improve the vehicle's physical performance relating to the road surface and roadholding. It is still essential to follow the rules of good driving practice (such as driving at a safe distance from the vehicle in front).

In an emergency, apply firm and continuous pressure to the brake pedal. There is no need to pump it repeatedly. The ABS will modulate the force applied in the braking system.

Operating faults:

If orange indicator lights (ABS) are displayed on the instrument panel when driving, braking safety is still guaranteed.

If warning lights (ABS), (!), STOP and the message "braking fault" are lit on the instrument panel, this indicates a fault with the braking system and ABS.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Operating faults: - 1

Your braking systems are partially operational. However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and

it is essential to stop immediately, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Contact an approved dealer.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP (1/2)

This system helps to keep control of the vehicle in critical driving situations (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip when cornering, etc.) and works in conjunction with the understeer control system.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP (1/2) - 1

This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav-

iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.

However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle's limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.

Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

A STOP 27474

Operating principle

A sensor in the steering wheel detects the direction selected by the driver.

Other sensors throughout the vehicle measure the actual direction.

The system compares the direction selected by the driver and the actual direction of the vehicle and corrects this as necessary by applying the brakes selectively and/or acting on the engine power.

When the ESP function starts operating, warning light A flashes to warn you.

If the warning light comes on accompanied by the "traction control deselected" message when the engine is started, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.

Understeer control

This system optimises the action of the ESP in the case of pronounced understeering (loss of front axle road holding).

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP (2/2)

Disabling the function

The function is deactivated by pressing switch 1; warning light A will come on to warn you that the system has been deactivated.

This action also deactivates the traction control mechanism: the message "ASR deselected" appears on the instrument panel. Refer to the information on "Traction control: ASR" in the following pages.

Correct this as soon as possible by pressing switch 1 again.

The function is reactivated automatically when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.

It is impossible to deselect this function when travelling above a threshold of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

A STOP 27474

Operating principle

Using the wheel sensors, the system measures and compares the speed of the drive wheels at all times and slows down their over-rotation.

If a wheel is starting to slip, the system brakes automatically until the drive supplied becomes compatible with the level of grip under the wheel again.

The system also adjusts the engine speed to the grip available under the wheels, independently of the pressure exerted on the accelerator pedal.

When the function begins to operate, warning light A flashes to warn you.

If the warning light comes on accompanied by the "traction control deselected" message when the engine is started, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.

TRACTION CONTROL: ASR (2/2)

Disabling the function

In some situations (driving on very wet ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with snow chains fitted), the system may reduce the engine output to limit wheel-spin. If this is not required, it is possible to deactivate the function by pressing switch 1.

The "traction control deselected" message is displayed on the instrument panel along with warning light A to inform you.

Disabling the function also disables the ESP function.

Correct this as soon as possible by pressing switch 1 again.

If the system detects an operating fault, the message "Check ESP" is displayed on the instrument panel display along with the warning light and warning light A.

Consult your approved Dealer.

This system is complementary to the ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping distances.

Operating principle

The system is for detecting an emergency braking situation. In this case, the braking assistance immediately develops maximum power and may trigger ABS regulation.

ABS braking is maintained as long as the brake pedal is applied.

Hazard warning lights activation

Depending on the vehicle, these may light up in the event of sudden deceleration.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Hazard warning lights activation - 1

This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav-

iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.

However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle's limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.

Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: limiter function (1/3)

Close-up of a mechanical component with a numbered arrow pointing to a small component (no visible text or symbols)

The speed limiter function helps you stay within the driving speed limit that you choose, known as the limit speed.

This may be useful, for example, driving in urban areas or areas with a speed restriction (roadworks), etc.

The system operates from a driving speed of about 18 mph (30 km/h).

Driving

When a limit speed has been stored, if this speed is not reached the vehicle behaves in a similar way to a vehicle without the speed limiter function.

Once you have reached the stored speed, no effort on the accelerator pedal will allow you to exceed the programmed speed except in an emergency (refer to information on "Exceeding the limit speed").

Varying the limit speed

You can vary the limit speed by pressing switch 2 repeatedly to increase the speed or switch 3 (-) to decrease it.

Exceeding the limit speed

In the event of an emergency

It is possible to exceed the limit speed at any moment. To do this: press the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (beyond the kickdown point).

Whilst the speed is being exceeded, the cruising speed displayed on the instrument panel flashes.

When the emergency has passed, release the accelerator pedal: the speed limiter function will return as soon as you reach a speed lower than the limit speed before the emergency.

Operation

With gear lever 1 in position P or N, switch on the ignition.

To move out of position P, you must depress the brake pedal whilst simultaneously pressing unlocking button 2.

With your foot on the brake pedal (warning light 4 goes out), shift from position P.

Only engage D or R when the vehicle is stopped, with your foot on the brake and the accelerator pedal released.

Driving in automatic mode

Move lever 1 to position D.

In most traffic conditions, you will not have to touch the gear selector lever again: the gears will change automatically at the right time and at the most suitable engine speed because the automatic system takes into account the vehicle load and road contour and adjusts itself to the particular driving style you have chosen.

If the driver's door is open or not properly closed when the gear lever is in position D and the vehicle is moving, a beep sounds.

Economical driving

When driving, leave the lever in position D, keeping the accelerator pedal lightly depressed to ensure automatic gear changes at comparatively low engine speeds.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/4)

Accelerating and overtaking

Depress the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (so that it goes beyond the kickdown point).

This will enable you to change down to the optimum gear within the engine range.

Driving in manual mode

With selector lever 1 in position D, pull the lever to the left (changing gear using the lever).

Changing gear using the lever

Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you to change gears manually:

  • To move down through the gears, push the lever backwards;
  • To move up through the gears, push the lever forwards.

The gear selected is displayed on the instrument panel.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the vehicle's rear bumper, measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle when reversing.

This measurement is indicated by beeps which become more frequent the closer you come to the obstacle, until they become a continuous beep when the vehicle is approximately 30 centimetres from the obstacle.

There is a beep when changing to reverse gear.

Note: make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Air recirculation operation (isolation of the passenger compartment)

Turn control D towards the symbol for air recirculation: air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recycled, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle.

Air recirculation is for:

  • isolating the vehicle from the external atmosphere (driving in polluted areas, etc.);
  • bringing the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly as possible.

Prolonged use of this position can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen, and problems due to the use of non-renewed air in the passenger compartment.

We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer required, by turning control D again.

Air recirculation mode

Pressing button 14 activates air recirculation (the symbol lights up on the display).

During recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recycled, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle.

Air recirculation allows the external atmosphere to be cut off (when driving in polluted areas, etc.).

Prolonged use of this position may lead to odours, caused by non-renewal of air, and the formation of condensation on the windows.

We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air or automatic recirculation) as soon as air recirculation is no longer needed, by pressing button 14.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use

Fuel consumption

You will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving in town) when the air conditioning is operating. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.

Advice for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:

Drive with the air vents open and the windows closed.

If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.

Maintenance

Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for the inspection frequency.

Operating faults

As a general rule, contact your approved Dealer in the event of an operating fault.

  • Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance. This may be caused by the passenger compartment filter cartridge becoming clogged.
  • No cold air is being produced. Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.

Note

Presence of water under the vehicle. After prolonged use of the air conditioning system, it is normal for water to be present under the vehicle. This is caused by condensation.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Note - 1

Do not add anything to the vehicle's ventilation circuit (for example, to remove bad odours).

There is a risk of damage or of fire.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Note - 2

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information

It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is normal to top up the level between oil changes.

However, contact an approved Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the running in period.

Check the oil level at regular intervals and before any long journey to avoid the risk of damaging your engine.

Reading the oil level

The oil level should be read with the vehicle on level ground, after the engine has been switched off for some time.

The dipstick must be used to read the exact oil level and make sure that the maximum level has not been exceeded (risk of engine damage). Refer to the following pages.

The instrument panel display only alerts the driver when the oil level is at its minimum.

OIL LEVEL OK Message 1 Level above minimum MIN MAX lo ____ l Message 2 Minimum

Minimum oil level warning on instrument panel

When the ignition is switched on, if the level is above the minimum level, the display indicates "oil level correct" for approximately 15 seconds: message 1.

To gain a more precise indication, press the information scroll button on the trip computer.

The squares which appear on the display indicate the level. They disappear as the oil level drops and they are replaced by a dash.

To advance to trip computer reading, press the button again.

If the level is at the minimum: the message "Top up oil level" will appear on the display, the squares are replaced by dashes (message 2) and the warning light 📁 on the instrument panel comes on.

It is vital to top up the oil as soon as possible.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Minimum oil level warning on instrument panel - 1

The display only warns the driver if the oil level is at the minimum level. It does not inform the driver that the oil

level has exceeded the maximum level as this can only be measured using a dipstick.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)

A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the exterior of the vehicle regularly.

Your vehicle has been treated with very effective anti-corrosion products. It is nevertheless subject to various outside influences.

Corrosive agents in the atmosphere

– atmospheric pollution (built-up and industrial areas), – saline atmospheres (near the sea, particularly in hot weather), – seasonal and damp weather conditions (e.g. road salt in winter, water from road cleaners, etc.).

Minor impacts

Abrasive action

Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles, etc.

You should take a number of minor precautions in order to safeguard your vehicle against such risks.

What you should not do

Do not degrease or clean mechanical components (e.g. the engine compartment), underneath the body, parts with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and painted plastic external fittings (e.g. bumpers) using high-pressure cleaning equipment or by spraying on products not approved by our Technical Department. Doing this could give rise to corrosion or operational faults.

Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures.

Do not scrape off mud or dirt without pre-wetting.

Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.

Allow rust to form following minor impacts.

Do not use solvents not approved by our Technical Department to remove stains as this could damage the paint-work.

Do not drive in snow or muddy conditions without washing the vehicle, particularly under the wheel arches and body.

You should

Wash your car frequently, with the engine off, using cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer (never use abrasive products). Rinse thoroughly beforehand with a jet:

  • spots of tree resin and industrial grime;
  • mud in the wheel arches and underneath the body, which forms damp patches;
  • bird droppings, which cause a chemical reaction with the paint that rapidly discolours paintwork and may even cause the paint to peel off; wash the vehicle immediately to remove these marks since it is impossible to remove them by polishing;
  • salt, particularly in the wheel arches and underneath the body after driving in areas where the roads have been gritted.

Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves, etc.) from the vehicle regularly.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)

Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g., do not wash your vehicle on a public highway).

Observe the vehicle stopping distances when driving on gravelled surfaces to prevent paint damage.

Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas where the paint has been damaged, to prevent corrosion spreading.

Remember to visit the body shop periodically in order to maintain your anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the Maintenance Document.

If it is necessary to clean mechanical components, hinges, etc., spray them with products approved by our Technical Department to protect them after they have been cleaned.

We have selected special products to care for your vehicle and you can obtain these from the manufacturer's accessory outlets.

Vehicles with a matte paint finish

This type of paint requires certain precautions.

Do not do the following

– use wax-based products (polishing); - rub hard; - wash the vehicle in a roller-type car wash; - wash the vehicle using a high-pressure device; - attach stickers to the paintwork (risk of leaving marks).

You should do the following

Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle sponge.

Using a roller type car wash

Return the windscreen wiper stalk to the Park position (refer to the information on the "Windscreen washer, wiper" in Section 1). Check the mounting of external accessories, additional lights and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper blades are secured with adhesive tape. Remove the radio aerial mast if your vehicle is fitted with this equipment. Remember to remove the tape and refit the antenna after washing.

Cleaning the headlights

As the headlights are made of plastic "glass", use a soft cloth or cotton wool to clean them. If this does not clean them properly, moisten the cloth with soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool. Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.

Cleaning products containing alcohol must not be used.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)

A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the interior of the vehicle regularly.

A stain should always be dealt with swiftly.

Whatever type of stain is on the trim, use cold (or warm) soapy water with natural soap.

Detergents (washing-up liquid, powdered products, alcohol-based products) should not be used.

Use a soft cloth.

Rinse and soak up the excess.

Glass instrument panel

(e.g., instrument panel, clock, exterior temperature display, radio display, etc.)

Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).

If this does not clean it properly, use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly moistened with soapy water and then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool.

Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.

Cleaning products containing alcohol must not be used under any circumstances.

Seat belts

These must be kept clean.

Use products selected by our Technical Department (Approved outlets) or warm, soapy water and a sponge and wipe with a dry cloth.

Detergents or dyes must not be used under any circumstances.

Textiles (seats, door trim, etc.)

Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.

Liquid stain

Use soapy water.

Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth, rinse and remove the excess.

Solid or pasty stain

Carefully remove the excess solid or pasty material immediately with a spatula (working from the edges to the centre to avoid spreading the stain).

Clean as for a liquid stain.

Special instructions for sweets or chewing gum

Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify it, then proceed as for a solid stain.

For further recommendations for maintaining the interior, and/or for any unsatisfactory results, please see an authorised dealer.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)

Removal/replacing removable equipment originally fitted in the vehicle

If you need to remove equipment in order to clean the passenger compartment (for example, mats), always ensure that they are correctly refitted and are the right way around (the driver's mat should be fitted on the driver's side, etc.) and fit them with the components supplied with the equipment (for example, the driver mat should always be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting components).

With the vehicle stationary, ensure that nothing will impede driving (anything obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by the mat, etc.).

You should not:

You are strongly advised not to position objects such as deodorants, scents, etc. near air vents, as this could damage your dashboard trim.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - You should not: - 1

  • fit the emergency spare wheel on the central hub and turn it to align the mounting holes in the wheel and the hub;
  • tighten the bolts and lower the jack;
  • with the wheel on the ground, tighten the screws as fully as possible and check the tightness as soon as possible (tightening torque 105 N.m).

RENAULT Modus (2008) - CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2) - 1

If you have a puncture, replace the wheel as soon as possible.

A tyre which has been punctured should always be inspected (and repaired, where possible) by a specialist.

Anti-theft bolt

If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these nearest the valve (otherwise it may not be possible to fit the wheel trim).

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Anti-theft bolt - 1

If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle's presence

with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.

TYRES (1/3)

Tyre and wheel safety

The tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the road, so it is essential to keep them in good condition.

You must make sure that your tyres conform to local road traffic regulations.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Tyre and wheel safety - 1

When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the same make, size, type and profile should be used.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your approved dealer.

Close-up of a tire with visible tread pattern and two numbered annotations (1 and 2), no text or symbols present.

Maintaining the tyres

The tyres must be in good condition and have sufficient depth to the tread. Tyres approved by our Technical Department have wear warning strips 1 in the form of raised strips moulded into the tread at several points.

When the tyre tread has been worn to the level of the wear indicators, they become visible 2: it is then necessary to replace your tyres because the tread rubber is no more than 1.6 mm deep, resulting in poor roadholding on wet roads.

An overloaded vehicle, long journeys by motorway, particularly in very hot weather, or continual driving on poorly surfaced minor roads will lead to more rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Maintaining the tyres - 1

Incidents which occur when driving, such as striking the kerb, may damage the tyres and wheel rims, and could

also lead to misalignment of the front or rear axle geometry. In this case, have the condition of these checked by an approved dealer.

TYRES (2/3)

Tyre pressures

Tyre pressures must be adhered to (remember to check the emergency spare wheel at the same time). Inflation pressures must be checked at least once a month and always before a long journey (refer to the information on "Tyre pressures").

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Tyre pressures - 1

Incorrect tyre pressures lead to abnormal tyre wear and unusually hot running.

These are factors which

may seriously affect safety and lead to:

– poor road holding, – the risk of blow-outs or of throwing a tread.

The pressure depends on the load and the speed of use. Adjust the pressures according to the conditions of use (refer to the information on “Tyre pressures”).

Pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures which may be reached in hot weather or following a fast journey.

If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, the normal pressures must be increased by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 psi).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Note: a label (depending on country or model) fixed to the edge or frame of the driver's door gives the recommended tyre pressures.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Never deflate a hot tyre. - 1

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss.

Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them fully.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on the "Emergency spare wheel" and instructions on "Changing a wheel" in Section 5.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

Fitting new tyres

RENAULT Modus (2008) - Fitting new tyres - 1

For safety reasons, this operation must be carried out by a specialist.

Fitting different tyres may affect your vehicle as follows:

  • It may mean that your vehicle no longer conforms to current regulations;
  • It may change the way it handles when cornering;
  • It may cause the steering to be heavy; – It may cause tyre noise;
  • It may affect the use of snow chains.

TYRES (3/3)

Use in winter

- Chains

For safety reasons, fitting snow chains to the rear axle is strictly forbidden.

Chains cannot be fitted to tyres which are larger than those originally fitted to the vehicle.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - - Chains - 1

Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle.

Chains may be fitted, provided that they are specific chains. We would advise you to consult an approved dealer.

- Snow or winter tyres

We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum adhesion.

NB: We would point out that these tyres may sometimes have:

  • a specific direction of rotation,
  • a maximum speed index which may be lower than the maximum speed of your vehicle.

- Studded tyres

This type of equipment may only be used for a limited period and as laid down by local legislation.

It is necessary to observe the speed specified by current legislation.

These tyres must, at a minimum, be fitted to the two front wheels.

In all cases, we would recommend that you contact an approved dealer who will be able to advise you on the choice of equipment which is most suitable for your vehicle.

RENAULT Modus (2008) - - Studded tyres - 1

Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must not come into contact with eyes or skin. If it does, wash the affected area with plenty of cold water.

Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.

Take care when working in the engine compartment as the engine cooling fan may start to operate at any moment without warning, which may cause serious injury.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (2/3)

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger must be compatible with a battery with a nominal voltage of 12 volts.

Switch the engine off and then disconnect both battery leads starting with the negative terminal.

Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using.

Only a fully charged and well-maintained battery will have a long and useful life and enable you to start the vehicle's engine normally.

The battery must be kept clean and dry.

Have the battery's charge status checked regularly:

- Especially if you use your vehicle for short journeys or for frequent driving in town.

  • When the exterior temperature drops (in winter), the charge decreases. In winter, only use electrical equipment which is really necessary.
  • Finally, you should understand that the charge decreases naturally as a result of certain permanent electrical consumers such as the clock, after-sales accessories, etc.

When many accessories are fitted to the vehicle, have them connected to the + after ignition feed. In this case, it is advisable to have your vehicle fitted with a battery which has an increased nominal capacity. Contact your approved dealer.

If your vehicle is to be left stationary for a relatively long time, disconnect the battery or have it recharged regularly, particularly during cold weather. It will then be necessary, with the engine running, to move the steering wheel slowly, from lock to lock and to reprogram the electronic equipment with a memory feature, radio, etc. The battery should be stored in a cool and dry location protected from frost.

The weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary depending on the your vehicle's equipment. Consult your approved Dealer.

5-door versions Utility versions
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)Total train weight (MTR)Weights indicated on the manufacturer's plate (refer to chapter 6 “Vehicle identification plate”)
Braked trailer weight* obtained by calculating: MTR- MMAC
Unbraked trailer weight* 500 535
Permissible nose weight* 75 25
Permissible load on the roof with the carrying device80 kg (including the carrying device)

* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)

Towing is prohibited when the GTW - MAM calculation is equal to zero, or when the GTW is equal to zero (or is not listed) on the identification plate.

  • It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
  • When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded. However, the following is permitted:

– The maximum permissible weight at the rear may be exceeded by no more than 15%,

– The maximum permissible all-up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever occurs first).

In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) for utility versions, or 100 mph (60 km/h) for 5-door versions, and the tyre pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).

- The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.

Load transfer (except for utility versions)

If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 300 kg can be transferred to the braked trailer, within the limits of the Gross Train Weight.

REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REPAIRS

Original parts are based on strict specifications and are subject to highly-specialised tests. Therefore, they are of at least the same level of quality as the parts fitted originally.

If you always fit genuine replacement parts to your vehicle, you will ensure that it performs well. Furthermore, repairs carried out within the manufacturer's Network using original parts are guaranteed according to the conditions set out on the reverse of the repair order.
