Renault Trafic (2018 year). Instruction - part 15

5.6

With the engine running and the

parking brake applied,
– unroll the hose from the container;
– connect the compressor hose 3 to

the container’s inlet 8;

– depending on the vehicle, connect

the container 8 to the compressor

from the container recess 7;

– unscrew the valve cap on the rel-

evant wheel and screw on the con-

tainer’s inflation adapter 1;

TYRE PRESSURE KIT

(3/3)

Once the tyre is correctly inflated,

remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-

flation adapter 1 to prevent any product

spatter and store the container in plas-

tic packaging to prevent product leaks.

– Affix the driving recommendation

label to the dashboard where it can

easily be seen by the driver;

– Store the kit in the toolkit and re-

insert it properly under the driver’s

seat.

– At the end of this initial inflation op-

eration, air will still escape from the

tyre. You must drive a short distance

in order to seal the hole.

– Start immediately and drive at be-

tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and

60 km/h) in order to distribute the

product evenly in the tyre and, after

driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and

check the pressure.

– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar

but less than the recommended

pressure (refer to the label affixed to

the edge of the driver’s door), read-

just it. Otherwise, please contact an

authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be

repaired.

– disconnect any accessories previ-

ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-

cessories sockets;

– adapter 2 must be connected to the

vehicle accessories socket;

– press switch 4 to inflate the tyre to

the recommended pressure (please

refer to the information on “Tyre infla-

tion pressure” in Section 4);

– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop

inflating and read the pressure (on

pressure gauge 5).
Note: while the bottle is emptying

(approximately 30 seconds), the

pressure gauge 5 will indicate briefly

a pressure of up to 6 bars, then the

pressure drops.

– adjust the pressure: to increase

it, continue inflation with the kit; to

reduce it, press button 6.

If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is

not reached after 15 minutes, repair

is not possible; do not drive the ve-

hicle but contact an approved dealer.

5.7

The tools included in the tool kit depend

on the vehicle. The tool kit 2 is located

under the driver’s seat. To remove it,

move the seat forward and fold down

the seatback (refer to the informa-

tion on the “Front seats” in Section 1).

Unscrew the mounting screw 1 from the

unit and swivel to extract.

Jack 3

Fold it correctly before refitting it in its

housing (ensure that the wheelbrace is

correctly positioned).

TOOLS

(1/2)

Hubcap tool 5

This tool is used to remove the wheel

trims.

Offset wrench 6.

Wheelbrace 7

This locks and unlocks the wheel bolts

and the emergency spare wheel holder.

Tow eye 8

Please see “Towing: breakdown recov-

ery” in Section 5.

Do not leave the tools un-

secured inside the vehicle

as they may come loose

under braking. After use,

check that all the tools are correctly

clipped into the tool kit, then position

it correctly in its housing: there is a

risk of injury.

The jack is designed for wheel

changing purposes only. Under no

circumstances should it be used for

carrying out repairs underneath the

vehicle or to gain access to the un-

derside of the vehicle.

Nothing should be placed

on the floor area in front of

the driver as such objects

may slide under the pedal

during braking manoeuvres, thus

obstructing its use.

5.8

TOOLS

(2/2)/

TRIMS

Trim 9

Remove the wheel trim using hubcap

tool 5 (located in the tool kit) by fit-

ting the hook into one of the openings

around the edge of the wheel trim.
To refit it, align it with valve 10.
Push the retaining hooks in fully, start-

ing with side A near the valve, followed

by B and C, finishing at D opposite the

valve.

Trim 11

Remove using hubcap tool 5 (located in

the tool kit) by engaging the hook in the

opening near the edge of the trim.
To refit, position the five trim attach-

ments facing the five wheel attach-

ments and press hard in the middle of

the trim to clip it to the wheel.

5.9

CHANGING A WHEEL

(1/2)

Switch on the hazard warn-

ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from

traffic and on a level surface

where it will not slip.
Apply the hand brake and engage a

gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-

matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the

vehicle and keep them away from

traffic.

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 apply-

ing to the country you are in.

If you have a puncture, re-

place the wheel as soon as

possible.
A tyre which has been punc-

tured should always be inspected

(and repaired, where possible) by a

specialist.

Do not leave the tools un-

secured inside the vehicle

as they may come loose

under braking. After use,

check that all the tools are correctly

clipped into the tool kit, then position

it correctly in its housing: there is a

risk of injury.

The jack is designed for wheel

changing purposes only. Under no

circumstances should it be used for

carrying out repairs underneath the

vehicle or to gain access to the un-

derside of the vehicle.

5.10

CHANGING A WHEEL

(2/2)

Loosen the wheel nuts and remove the

wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel in place

on the central hub.
Tighten the nuts and lower the jack.
With the wheels on the ground, tighten

the nuts fully and check if they are tight

as quickly as possible.
Position the trim.

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).

Remove the wheel trim (refer to the in-

formation on “Wheel trims” in Section 5).
Use the wheelbrace 1 to slacken off the

wheel bolts. Position it so as to be able

to push from above.

Insert the jack 2 horizontally; the jack

head pin 3 should line up with the hole

in the lower part of the bodywork near-

est the wheel concerned.
Begin to crank the jack so that the base-

plate is correctly positioned (it should

be underneath the vehicle and aligned

with the jack head).

5.11

When the tyre tread has been worn

to the level of the warning strips, they

become visible 2: it is then neces-

sary to replace your tyres because the

tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep

at most, resulting in poor road hold-

ing 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.

Maintaining the tyres

The tyres must be in good condition

and the tread form must have sufficient

depth; tyres approved by our Technical

Department have wear warning strips

1 which are indicators moulded into

the tread at several points.

TYRES

(1/3)

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.

The tyres are the only contact between

the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-

tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres

conform to local road traffic regulations.

5.12

TYRES

(2/3)

Tyre pressures

Adhere to the tyre pressures (including

the emergency spare wheel). The tyre

pressures should be checked at least

once a month and additionally before

any long journey (refer to the label af-

fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

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, assume an in-

crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.

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,
– risk of bursting or tread separa-

tion.

The pressure depends on the load

and the speed of use. Adjust the

pressure according to the condi-

tions of use (refer to the label affixed

to the edge of the driver’s door).

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

loss warning system
If underinflated (puncture, low pres-

sure, etc.), the warning light



the instrument panel comes on, see

“Tyre pressure loss warning system” in

Section 2.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on the

“Emergency spare wheel” and in-

structions on “Changing a wheel” in

Section 5.

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing 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.

5.13

Use in winter

Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow

chains to the rear axle is strictly for-

bidden.
Chains cannot be fitted to tyres which

are larger than those originally fitted to

the vehicle.
Snow or Winter tyres
We recommend that these be fitted to

all four wheels to ensure that your ve-

hicle retains maximum traction.
Warning: These tyres sometimes have

a specific direction of rotation and a

maximum speed index which may be

lower than the maximum speed of your

vehicle.

TYRES

(3/3)

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.

17” wheels cannot be

fitted with chains.
If you wish to fit snow

chains, you must use spe-

cial equipment.
Consult an approved Dealer.

Fitting new tyres

For your safety, please re-

spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of the

same make, size, type and profile

should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-

pacity and speed rating at least

equal to those of the original

tyres, or conform to those recom-

mended by an authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions

could endanger your safety and

affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-

ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-

hicle.

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

fitted to your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to tyres. Consult an approved Dealer.
