MECHANICAL INTRODUCTION
Vehicle: Precautions for the repair
GENERAL INFORMATION
All information contained in these manuals is intended
exclusively for automotive industry professionals.
The documentation is intended to cover all vehicles in
the RENAULT range throughout the world, but may not
cover equipment designed for use in specific countries.
The procedures and fault finding procedures recommended and described in this manual have been designed by automotive industry repair professionals.
1 - General recommendations
Observe basic principles of vehicle repair.
The quality of repair depends first and foremost on the
care exercised by the person in carrying it out.
To ensure good repair:
- protect the sensitive areas of the vehicle (seats,
steering wheel, wings, etc.),
-unless otherwise indicated, all repairs must be done
with the ignition off,
01D
- protect the accessories and timing belts, the electrical
accessories (starter, blanking cover, electric power
assisted steering pump) and the mating face to prevent diesel fuel spilling onto the clutch friction plate.
The design quality of our vehicles demands that nothing is left to chance in making a good repair, and it is
essential to refit parts or components exactly as they
were originally (for instance: heat shields, wiring routing, pipe routing, particularly in the area of the exhaust
pipe).
Do not blow away asbestos particles or dust (brakes,
clutch, etc.), vacuum them up or clean the component
with a cleaning agent (such as a brake cleaning product).
Use professional products and apply them with care,
for example do not apply too much sealing paste to the
sealing surface.
Exhaust gases (petrol and diesel) are pollutants. Oper-
ate engines with care and always use exhaust gas extractors.
- when welding on the vehicle, it is advisable to remove
or disconnect components near the repair area that
could be affected by the heat,
- use recommended professional products and original
parts,
- observe the tightening torques,
- replace roll pins, self-locking or bonded nuts or bolts
every time they are removed,
- take care with electrical and electronic components
which cannot withstand excess voltage and improper
handling; replace any electrical and electronic components which have experienced a voltage drop,
- make sure that the connectors are correctly clipped,
- do not pull on the wiring,
- check for the sealing plugs on the connectors,
- Do not splash any liquid, regardless of its type (oil,
cleaner, etc.), on the electric and electronic components (computers, sensors, etc.)
- do not just replace parts one after the other, carry out
detailed fault finding beforehand,
-carry out a final check before returning the vehicle to
the customer (set the clock, check the alarm operation, check the lights and indicators etc.),
- clean and degrease the sections to be bonded
(threads, stub axle splines) to ensure proper adherence,
Ensure that there is no risk of a short circuit occurring
when the electrical connections are reconnected (e.g.
starter, alternator, etc.). Some points need greasing,
others do not, therefore particular attention should be
paid during refitting operations to ensure that they work
properly under all conditions.
2 - Special tooling - ease of use
The repair procedures have been designed using special tools; they must therefore be carried out using
these tools to ensure a high degree of working safety
and quality of repair.
The equipment we have approved has undergone
careful research and testing, and must be used and
maintained with care.
3 - Reliability - updating
New repair procedures are constantly being developed
in the interests of repair quality, either with new prod-
ucts (emission control, injection, electronics, etc.), or in
fault finding. Be sure to consult the Workshop Repair
Manuals or Technical Notes or fault finding summaries
before any servicing operation.
Since vehicle specifications are subject to change during their commercial life, it is essential to check whether there are any updated Technical Notes when
seeking information.

Vehicle: Precautions for the repair
4 - Safety
Operations on certain equipment and certain parts (for
instance: spring-shock absorber assembly, automatic
transmission, brake system, ABS, airbag, common rail
diesel injection, LPG, etc.) require particular attention
to be paid to safety, cleanliness and care.
The safety symbol used in this manual indicates that
special attention must be paid to the procedure or the
tightening torque values.
Working safely:
- use suitable tools which are in good condition (use of
« multi-purpose » tools, such as adjustable pliers,
etc., should be avoided wherever possible),
- use supports and adopt a correct posture when performing heavy work or raising loads,
- make sure that the procedure used is not dangerous,
01D
5 - Conclusion
The procedures contained in this document merit your
attention. Please read them carefully in order to reduce
the risk of injury, and avoid using incorrect procedures
that could damage the vehicle or make it dangerous in
use.
Following the recommended procedures will help you
to provide a quality of service which will ensure the vehicles achieve the highest levels of performance and
reliability.
Maintenance and repair operations must be carried out
under the proper conditions to ensure that our vehicles
run safely and reliably.
- Do not wear any jewellery or other small objects during an operation,
- use personal protection (gloves, safety glasses, work
shoes, masks, skin barrier creams, etc.),
- always follow the safety instructions associated with
the operation to be performed,
- do not smoke when working on vehicles,
- use smoke extractors (welding, exhaust gases, etc.),
- do not use harmful products in unventilated rooms,
- do not overstrain yourself or attempt inappropriate
work operations,
- use axle stands when working under a vehicle raised
on a jack,
- do not ingest any chemicals (brake fluid, coolant,
etc.),
- do not open the cooling circuit when it is hot and pressurised,
- take care with components that are liable to start up
suddenly (engine cooling fan, etc.).
Respecting the environment:
-do not allow waste refrigerants to escape into the atmosphere,
- do not dispose of waste vehicle fluids (oil, brake fluid,
etc.) in drains,
- do not burn discarded products (tyres, etc.).

Creating tension (or preload) F0
01D
Customer complaints resulting from incorrect tightening may be, following assembly, a safety issue (fire,
loss of control of the vehicle etc.), an immobilising fault
or a noise.
III - TIGHTENING PROCEDURES
The two controlled tightening procedures adapted to
automotive repairs because of their low cost and simple operation are torque tightening and angle tightening (also called torque and angle).
1 - Torque tightening
This is the most commonly used procedure. Is consists
of tightening until a given resisting torque is reached,
known as tightening torque.
The tightening torque is distributed in a large part as
friction torque (under the head and in the thread) and in
a small part as useful torque (to create the tension).
120738
The assembly is held together by the tension created in
the bolt when it is tightened.
A reliable assembly is only possible if the correct tension is used:
- insufficient tension: risk of loosening,
- too much tension: risk of deformation of the parts to
be assembled, or shearing of the bolt.
This practise spreads the tension significantly due to
the variation in the friction coefficients from one assembly to another and the uncertainty of the tightening procedures and methods.
2 - Angle tightening
The principle consists of putting the parts of the assembly in contact using a mating torque (approximately 25
to 30% of the final torque) then to tighten to a determined angle.
This method, which is not dependent on the friction of
the tightened assembly, gives more precise results
than torque tightening.
IV - OBSERVING THE TIGHTENING TORQUES AND
ANGLES
Bolted assemblies whose tightening torques and angles are explicitly specified in the removal / refitting
procedures must be observed using the appropriate
tools (torque wrench, angle measuring disc). Failure to
observe this can lead to safety risks, immobilising
faults or unwanted noises.

120739
For other bolted assemblies, non-measured tightening
(using standard spanners) is acceptable. Nevertheless, the corresponding tightening torque is indicated in
the table of standard tightening torques.
V - RECOMMENDED TIGHTENING TOOLS
For measured tightening, the repairer must have available torque wrenches to tighten from 4 to 400 N.m as
well as an angle measuring disc.
The torque wrenches used may be click type or electronic.
01D-4
Page 18
MECHANICAL INTRODUCTION
Tightening torques: General information
For example:
-1 torque wrench 4 - 40 N.m,
-1 torque wrench 20 - 100 N.m,
-1 torque wrench 80 - 400 N.m,
-1 angle measurement disc.
The torque wrenches used must comply with the ISO6789 standard. They must be calibrated regularly following the supplier's recommendations using the appropriate procedures.
VI - PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING A CLICK TYPE
TORQUE WRENCH
A click type torque wrench is a manual tightening tool.
The trigger mechanism causes a break or disengagement of the wrench past a force threshold.
This threshold depends on the setting of the wrench
but also depends on the way the wrench is handled.
01D
120741
- Pull the wrench gently and steadily, without applying
any torsion. Excessive tightening speed as well as jerkiness are major causes of overtightening. Any torsion
applied to the wrench will alter the trigger threshold.
- Hold the wrench on the bolt using a minimum of effort.
Any effort applied to the wrench head will alter the trig-
ger threshold.
When used following best practises, the accuracy of
the tightness when using a click type torque wrench is
± 15%.
The instructions to be observed are:
120742
- Apply the tightening effort perpendicular to the mounting observing a tolerance of ± 15˚ relative to the per-
pendicularity. If the wrench is not perpendicular to the
mounting axis, this will result in insufficient tightening.
120740
(6) lever arm
- Place the hand in the centre of the handle. An incor-
rectly positioned hand on the handle will alter the trigger threshold.
- Stop tightening as soon as the wrench is triggered.
Continued tightening after the wrench is triggered will
lead to overtightening.
01D-5
Page 19
MECHANICAL INTRODUCTION
Tightening torques: General information
It is advisable to handle the wrench with care and to
stop tightening when the required value is displayed on
the wrench.
01D
120743
If the length of the wrench is modified (extending the
handle, adapting an end piece) it is essential to recalibrate the wrench to its new configuration.
Modifying the length of the wrench will modify its trigger
threshold.
Use the formula: C1 = CO x L2 / (L1+L2)
- CO: torque to apply,
- C1: adjustment torque to be displayed on the wrench,
- L1: length of the extension,
- L2: length of the wrench.
Unless there are special instructions in the repair method, a universal joint (CARDAN joint type) should be
used for measured tightening. Using a universal joint
will result in a difference between the set torque of the
wrench and the actual torque applied.
Before storing the wrench, loosen the adjustment
spring completely. A wrench stored with a spring under
tension will lose its tightening accuracy.
VII - PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ELECTRONIC
TORQUE WRENCHES
An electronic torque wrench is a manual tightening
tool. The tightening torque and, depending on the model, the angle is read directly.
When used following best practises, the accuracy of
the tightness when using an electronic torque wrench
is ± 5%.
Electronic torque wrenches are not affected by the position of the operator's hand.

MECHANICAL INTRODUCTION
Vehicle: Precautions for the repair
GENERAL INFORMATION
All information contained in these manuals is intended
exclusively for automotive industry professionals.
The documentation is intended to cover all vehicles in
the RENAULT range throughout the world, but may not
cover equipment designed for use in specific countries.
The procedures and fault finding procedures recommended and described in this manual have been designed by automotive industry repair professionals.
1 - General recommendations
Observe basic principles of vehicle repair.
The quality of repair depends first and foremost on the
care exercised by the person in carrying it out.
To ensure good repair:
- protect the sensitive areas of the vehicle (seats,
steering wheel, wings, etc.),
-unless otherwise indicated, all repairs must be done
with the ignition off,
01D
- protect the accessories and timing belts, the electrical
accessories (starter, blanking cover, electric power
assisted steering pump) and the mating face to prevent diesel fuel spilling onto the clutch friction plate.
The design quality of our vehicles demands that nothing is left to chance in making a good repair, and it is
essential to refit parts or components exactly as they
were originally (for instance: heat shields, wiring routing, pipe routing, particularly in the area of the exhaust
pipe).
Do not blow away asbestos particles or dust (brakes,
clutch, etc.), vacuum them up or clean the component
with a cleaning agent (such as a brake cleaning product).
Use professional products and apply them with care,
for example do not apply too much sealing paste to the
sealing surface.
Exhaust gases (petrol and diesel) are pollutants. Oper-
ate engines with care and always use exhaust gas extractors.
- when welding on the vehicle, it is advisable to remove
or disconnect components near the repair area that
could be affected by the heat,
- use recommended professional products and original
parts,
- observe the tightening torques,
- replace roll pins, self-locking or bonded nuts or bolts
every time they are removed,
- take care with electrical and electronic components
which cannot withstand excess voltage and improper
handling; replace any electrical and electronic components which have experienced a voltage drop,
- make sure that the connectors are correctly clipped,
- do not pull on the wiring,
- check for the sealing plugs on the connectors,
- Do not splash any liquid, regardless of its type (oil,
cleaner, etc.), on the electric and electronic components (computers, sensors, etc.)
- do not just replace parts one after the other, carry out
detailed fault finding beforehand,
-carry out a final check before returning the vehicle to
the customer (set the clock, check the alarm operation, check the lights and indicators etc.),
- clean and degrease the sections to be bonded
(threads, stub axle splines) to ensure proper adherence,
Ensure that there is no risk of a short circuit occurring
when the electrical connections are reconnected (e.g.
starter, alternator, etc.). Some points need greasing,
others do not, therefore particular attention should be
paid during refitting operations to ensure that they work
properly under all conditions.
2 - Special tooling - ease of use
The repair procedures have been designed using special tools; they must therefore be carried out using
these tools to ensure a high degree of working safety
and quality of repair.
The equipment we have approved has undergone
careful research and testing, and must be used and
maintained with care.
3 - Reliability - updating
New repair procedures are constantly being developed
in the interests of repair quality, either with new prod-
ucts (emission control, injection, electronics, etc.), or in
fault finding. Be sure to consult the Workshop Repair
Manuals or Technical Notes or fault finding summaries
before any servicing operation.
Since vehicle specifications are subject to change during their commercial life, it is essential to check whether there are any updated Technical Notes when
seeking information.

MECHANICAL INTRODUCTION
Vehicle: Precautions for the repair
4 - Safety
Operations on certain equipment and certain parts (for
instance: spring-shock absorber assembly, automatic
transmission, brake system, ABS, airbag, common rail
diesel injection, LPG, etc.) require particular attention
to be paid to safety, cleanliness and care.
The safety symbol used in this manual indicates that
special attention must be paid to the procedure or the
tightening torque values.
Working safely:
- use suitable tools which are in good condition (use of
« multi-purpose » tools, such as adjustable pliers,
etc., should be avoided wherever possible),
- use supports and adopt a correct posture when performing heavy work or raising loads,
- make sure that the procedure used is not dangerous,
01D
5 - Conclusion
The procedures contained in this document merit your
attention. Please read them carefully in order to reduce
the risk of injury, and avoid using incorrect procedures
that could damage the vehicle or make it dangerous in
use.
Following the recommended procedures will help you
to provide a quality of service which will ensure the vehicles achieve the highest levels of performance and
reliability.
Maintenance and repair operations must be carried out
under the proper conditions to ensure that our vehicles
run safely and reliably.
- Do not wear any jewellery or other small objects during an operation,
- use personal protection (gloves, safety glasses, work
shoes, masks, skin barrier creams, etc.),
- always follow the safety instructions associated with
the operation to be performed,
- do not smoke when working on vehicles,
- use smoke extractors (welding, exhaust gases, etc.),
- do not use harmful products in unventilated rooms,
- do not overstrain yourself or attempt inappropriate
work operations,
- use axle stands when working under a vehicle raised
on a jack,
- do not ingest any chemicals (brake fluid, coolant,
etc.),
- do not open the cooling circuit when it is hot and pressurised,
- take care with components that are liable to start up
suddenly (engine cooling fan, etc.).
Respecting the environment:
-do not allow waste refrigerants to escape into the atmosphere,
- do not dispose of waste vehicle fluids (oil, brake fluid,
etc.) in drains,
- do not burn discarded products (tyres, etc.).

Creating tension (or preload) F0
01D
Customer complaints resulting from incorrect tightening may be, following assembly, a safety issue (fire,
loss of control of the vehicle etc.), an immobilising fault
or a noise.
III - TIGHTENING PROCEDURES
The two controlled tightening procedures adapted to
automotive repairs because of their low cost and simple operation are torque tightening and angle tightening (also called torque and angle).
1 - Torque tightening
This is the most commonly used procedure. Is consists
of tightening until a given resisting torque is reached,
known as tightening torque.
The tightening torque is distributed in a large part as
friction torque (under the head and in the thread) and in
a small part as useful torque (to create the tension).
120738
The assembly is held together by the tension created in
the bolt when it is tightened.
A reliable assembly is only possible if the correct tension is used:
- insufficient tension: risk of loosening,
- too much tension: risk of deformation of the parts to
be assembled, or shearing of the bolt.
This practise spreads the tension significantly due to
the variation in the friction coefficients from one assembly to another and the uncertainty of the tightening procedures and methods.
2 - Angle tightening
The principle consists of putting the parts of the assembly in contact using a mating torque (approximately 25
to 30% of the final torque) then to tighten to a determined angle.
This method, which is not dependent on the friction of
the tightened assembly, gives more precise results
than torque tightening.
IV - OBSERVING THE TIGHTENING TORQUES AND
ANGLES
Bolted assemblies whose tightening torques and angles are explicitly specified in the removal / refitting
procedures must be observed using the appropriate
tools (torque wrench, angle measuring disc). Failure to
observe this can lead to safety risks, immobilising
faults or unwanted noises.

120739
For other bolted assemblies, non-measured tightening
(using standard spanners) is acceptable. Nevertheless, the corresponding tightening torque is indicated in
the table of standard tightening torques.
V - RECOMMENDED TIGHTENING TOOLS
For measured tightening, the repairer must have available torque wrenches to tighten from 4 to 400 N.m as
well as an angle measuring disc.
The torque wrenches used may be click type or electronic.
01D-4
Page 64
MECHANICAL INTRODUCTION
Tightening torques: General information
For example:
-1 torque wrench 4 - 40 N.m,
-1 torque wrench 20 - 100 N.m,
-1 torque wrench 80 - 400 N.m,
-1 angle measurement disc.
The torque wrenches used must comply with the ISO6789 standard. They must be calibrated regularly following the supplier's recommendations using the appropriate procedures.
VI - PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING A CLICK TYPE
TORQUE WRENCH
A click type torque wrench is a manual tightening tool.
The trigger mechanism causes a break or disengagement of the wrench past a force threshold.
This threshold depends on the setting of the wrench
but also depends on the way the wrench is handled.
01D
120741
- Pull the wrench gently and steadily, without applying
any torsion. Excessive tightening speed as well as jerkiness are major causes of overtightening. Any torsion
applied to the wrench will alter the trigger threshold.
- Hold the wrench on the bolt using a minimum of effort.
Any effort applied to the wrench head will alter the trig-
ger threshold.
When used following best practises, the accuracy of
the tightness when using a click type torque wrench is
± 15%.
The instructions to be observed are:
120742
- Apply the tightening effort perpendicular to the mounting observing a tolerance of ± 15˚ relative to the per-
pendicularity. If the wrench is not perpendicular to the
mounting axis, this will result in insufficient tightening.
120740
(6) lever arm
- Place the hand in the centre of the handle. An incor-
rectly positioned hand on the handle will alter the trigger threshold.
- Stop tightening as soon as the wrench is triggered.
Continued tightening after the wrench is triggered will
lead to overtightening.
01D-5
Page 65
MECHANICAL INTRODUCTION
Tightening torques: General information
It is advisable to handle the wrench with care and to
stop tightening when the required value is displayed on
the wrench.
01D
120743
If the length of the wrench is modified (extending the
handle, adapting an end piece) it is essential to recalibrate the wrench to its new configuration.
Modifying the length of the wrench will modify its trigger
threshold.
Use the formula: C1 = CO x L2 / (L1+L2)
- CO: torque to apply,
- C1: adjustment torque to be displayed on the wrench,
- L1: length of the extension,
- L2: length of the wrench.
Unless there are special instructions in the repair method, a universal joint (CARDAN joint type) should be
used for measured tightening. Using a universal joint
will result in a difference between the set torque of the
wrench and the actual torque applied.
Before storing the wrench, loosen the adjustment
spring completely. A wrench stored with a spring under
tension will lose its tightening accuracy.
VII - PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ELECTRONIC
TORQUE WRENCHES
An electronic torque wrench is a manual tightening
tool. The tightening torque and, depending on the model, the angle is read directly.
When used following best practises, the accuracy of
the tightness when using an electronic torque wrench
is ± 5%.
Electronic torque wrenches are not affected by the position of the operator's hand.
