GENERAL VEHICLE INFORMATIONBrake fluid 30A

BRAKE FLUID REPLACEMENT INTERVALS

Our brake technology, in particular our disc brakes(hollow pistons which conduct little heat with a smallamount of fluid in the cylinder and sliding calipers avoi-ding the need for a fluid reservoir in the least cooledarea of the wheel), has allowed us to reduce the risksof « vapour-lock » as far as possible, even if the brakesare used intensively (in mountainous areas). However,current brake fluids are subject to a slight deteriorationduring the first months of use as a result of a smallamount of humidity intake. Reasons for it being recom-mended that you change the brake fluid: see warrantyand servicing booklet .

1 - Topping up the level

Brake pad wear will result in a gradual drop in the fluidlevel in the reservoir.

The fluid should not be topped up as the level will riseagain when the pads are changed. However, the brakefluid level should not drop below the minimum mark.

2 - Approved brake fluid

Mixing two incompatible brake fluids in the circuit couldlead to major leaks, mainly due to damage to the cups.

To avoid these risks, it is essential to only use brakefluids which have been checked and approved by ourlaboratories and which comply with the SAE J 1703-DOT4 standard.

For optimized braking, RENAULT recommends a bra-

ke fluid with low viscosity in cold conditions ( 750 mm2/s at 40˚C maximum).

GENERAL VEHICLE INFORMATIONBrake circuit Bleeding 30A

Precautions to be taken during the braking circuit blee-ding operation:

- Check the brake fluid levels of the brake circuit andthe bleeding device.

- The braking regulation circuit must not have any hy-draulic or electrical faults.

I - BLEEDING THE BRAKE CIRCUIT OUTSIDE THE CONTROL CIRCUIT

This procedure should be used after one of the fol-lowing components has been removed or replaced:

- the master cylinder,

- the brake fluid,

- the hydraulic unit (new and pre-filled),

- a rigid pipe,

- a hose,

- the reservoir,

- a calliper.

Put the vehicle on a two-post lift.

Connect the bleeding device to the vehicle brakefluid reservoir (refer to the driver's handbook).

Fit the bleed reservoirs to the bleed screws.

Bleed the circuit by opening the bleed screws in the following order (remember to close them after the operation):

- the rear right-hand circuit,

- the front left-hand circuit,

- the rear left-hand circuit,

- the front right-hand circuit.

With the engine switched off, check the pedal travel;if it is not correct, start the bleeding procedure again.

Top up the brake fluid level in the reservoir once thebleeding device has been disconnected. Check thetightness of the bleed screws and ensure that thesealing caps are all present.

During a road test, trigger braking regulation to con-firm that the brake pedal travel is correct. If the pedaltravel becomes incorrect during the road test, followthe procedure for bleeding the braking regulation cir-cuit.

II - BLEEDING THE BRAKE CONTROL CIRCUIT

This procedure can be applied after a road test withbrake regulation during which the pedal travel beco-mes incorrect.

Put the vehicle on a two-post lift.

Referring to the equipment instructions, connect:

- tool brake circuit bleeding device (approved byRenault) to the vehicle brake circuit,

- the diagnostic tool .

Fit the bleed reservoirs to the bleed screws.

Bleed the regulation circuit using the diagnostictool .

Run command SC006 « hydraulic assembly andbrake circuits bleed » .

Follow the instructions on the diagnostic tool .

Disconnect the bleeding device.

Top up the brake fluid level in the reservoir.

Check the tightness of the bleed screws and ensurethat the sealing caps are all present.

During a road test, trigger braking regulation to con-firm that the brake pedal travel is correct. If the pedaltravel becomes incorrect during the road test, followthe procedure for bleeding the braking regulation cir-cuit.

It is therefore possible to use a larger quantity of bra-ke fluid than the capacity of the circuit.

Equipment required

brake circuit bleeding device (approved by Renault)

diagnostic tool

WARNING

Special precautions to be taken during the brakecircuit bleeding operation: the vehicle ignitionmust be switched off to ensure that the hydraulicunit solenoid valves do not operate.

Note:

Depress and release the brake pedal alternately(pumping action) throughout the bleed proce-dure.

60 mm ring

Order the ring from your hardware manufacturer.

I - PREREQUISITES FOR WHEEL BALANCING

Wheel balancing is a measuring operation.

Several conditions must be met to achieve a reliableresult in a single operation.

The wheel balancer must be installed in accordancewith the manufacturer's instructions.

It is essential that the machine is recalibrated at theintervals specified by the manufacturer.

Never grease the threaded shaft.

Check the condition of the supports, centring com-ponents and mountings.

Replace any faulty parts (see manufacturer's ins-tructions).

The wheel and the wheel balancer must be clean.

Driver's observation

If the wheels are not correctly balanced this causesthe steering wheel and/or the vehicle floor to vibrate.

The vibrations occur at between 54 mph (90 km/h)and 90 mph (150 km/h) .

Adjust the tyre pressures (see 35 A, Wheels and ty-res, Tyre pressure: Identification ).

Always drive for a minimum distance of 1.2 miles (2km) before balancing the wheels, in order to preventa flat spot from developing on the tread after the ve-hicle has stopped.

After the drive:

- raise the vehicle immediately,

- leave the four wheels hanging free,

- release the parking brake.

To reproduce the exact vehicle wheel assembly, it isessential to fit a ring (1) with a diameter of 60 mm onthe wheel balancer.

There are three types of weight:

In certain countries it is prohibited to use lead wei-ghts. Instead, ZAMAK weights are recommended.

Only use weights provided by the Parts Department.

II - WHEEL REMOVAL AND WHEEL BALANCING

Place the vehicle on a two-post lift immediately afterthe road test (see 02A, Lifting equipment, Under-body lift ).

Loosen the wheel bolts.

Raise the vehicle.

Release the parking brake.

Check that the wheels are not damaged due to acci-dental impacts (if they are, replace the damagedcomponents),

Position the wheel so that the valve is at the top.

Fit the pedal press .

Remove:

- the wheel bolts,

- the wheel.

Always clean the bearing surfaces of the wheel anddisc (or drum).

Make sure that the wheel balancer bearing surfaceand all the centring equipment (ring, thrust plate,etc.) are kept clean.

Try not to scratch the (alloy) wheel rim with thewheel tightening device.

Remove the wheels concerned (see 35A, Wheelsand tyres, Wheel: Removal - Refitting ).

Remove the valve mechanism.

Lift off the bead from the outside of the tyre, startingwith the side opposite the valve.

Detach the bead from the inside of the tyre.

Position the tyre lever approximately 15 cm from thevalve on the outside of the wheel rim.

Remove the tyre bead, finishing at the valve.

Position the tyre lever approximately 15 cm from thevalve on the outside of the wheel rim in order to re-move the bead from inside the tyre.

Remove the tyre bead, finishing at the valve.

REFITTING

Apply soap to the two tyre beads.

Insert the lower tyre bead approximately 15 cm afterthe valve.

Finish fitting the tyre at the valve.

Fit the exterior bead approximately 15 cm after thevalve using the tyre lever.

Inflate the tyre.

Refit the valve mechanism.

Inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (see35A, Wheels and tyres, Tyre pressure: Identifica-tion ).

Balance the wheel (see 35A, Wheels and tyres,Wheel: Balancing ).

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORSSPP: List and location of components 35B

The system consists of:

- four pressure sensors (1) built into the valves (one perwheel); the sensors transmit a radio signal,

- a computer (2) which collects, decodes and proces-ses sensor signals, and then determines which mes-sage to display,

- a display (3) built into the instrument panel.

102413

Note:

Each sensor is identified by a coloured marking around the valve:

- green = front left-hand,

- yellow = front right-hand,

- red = rear left-hand,

- black = rear right-hand.

Page 85: notas técnicas_MR364MEGANE3

35B-2

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORPressure sensor: Operation 35B

The pressure sensor comprises:

- a conventional valve,

- a pressure sensor,

- a temperature sensor,

- an acceleration sensor,

- a specific radiofrequency transmitter,

- a non-removable battery.

OPERATION

The sensors (supplied by an integrated battery) regu-larly measure the internal pressure, temperature andacceleration of the tyres. They transmit these signalsand their code to the receiver (integrated into the UCH)via radio waves.

Programming the four sensors into the UCH

If replacing valves, carry out sensor programmingusing the diagnostic tool .

Do not swap the wheels if they have been removed.

When replacing the UCH:

- configure the recommended pressures,

- program the sensors using the (Ms. 1607) and thediagnostic tool .

Special tooling required

Ms. 1607 SSPP wheel valveactivation tool.

Equipment required

diagnostic tool

102415

Note:

Each sensor is identified by a coloured marking round the valve:

- green = front left-hand,

- yellow = front right-hand,

- red = rear left-hand,

- black = rear right-hand.

WARNING

Be sure to follow the colour coding, so that the sys-tem displays the signals correctly. Each sensor hasits own unique computer code.

Note:

A second set of two or four-wheel sensors can beidentified by the UCH. It is important to keep thecolours in their correct positions.

Note:

In order that the UCH can recognise two or fouradditional wheels fitted with sensors, it must be pro-grammed when the wheels are first fitted. The sys-tem subsequently automatically recognises thewheel set which is fitted to the vehicle.

MECHANICAL COMPONENT CONTROLSEmergency brake assistance 37A

Emergency brake assist is a system which supple-ments ABS.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Emergency brake assist enables the system to reco-gnise the situation and act immediately to provide thebest possible stopping distance.

Emergency braking is calculated according how quic-kly the brake pedal is depressed; in this situation, bra-king assistance immediately reaches its maximumlevel of output.

The system works conditionally for current braking sys-tems.

The emergency brake assist is a mechanical systembuilt into the brake servo and completely independentof any electronic component.

The brake servo is fitted with a magnet which reacts bylocking the control unit when the pedal is depressedsharply.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMIntroduction 38C

Mégane II is equipped with a BOSCH 8.0. ABS system

Depending on the equipment level, the BOSCH 8.0system has a ABS function only, or it is linked to anelectronic stability programme function (ESP).

I - DESCRIPTION OF THE ABS SYSTEM WITH ESP

The anti-lock braking system / electronic stability pro-gram consist of:

- a brake servo assembly,

- a pump assembly consisting of:

• a hydraulic pump,

• a pressure modulation unit (twelve solenoid valves),

• a computer,

• a pressure sensor.

- a steering wheel angle sensor integrated into thepower assisted steering,

- a combined yaw speed and lateral acceleration sen-sor,

- four wheel speed sensors,

- an electronic stability program deactivation button.

II - OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF THE ABS SYSTEM WITH ESP

The reference status is calculated continuously fromwheel speed and steering wheel angle measurements.The reference status represents the desired correctbehaviour.

This reference status is compared to the actual statusof the vehicle from the yaw speed and transverse acce-leration measurements.

Where there is a difference between the desired trajec-tory and the actual trajectory, the appropriate wheel isbraked. In certain cases, the under-steer control bra-kes both wheels at the same time. The torque genera-ted sets the vehicle on the desired trajectory.

In some cases, the anti-skid control modifies the engi-ne torque.

III - SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE ESP FUNCTION

The function can be disconnected using the switch lo-cated on the dashboard.

This function can not be deactivated above a thresholdof approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) .

This function is automatically reactivated when the ve-hicle is switched on, or at speeds above approximately30 mph (50 km/h) .

Equipment required

diagnostic tool

IMPORTANT

After any operation on the ESP system, it is essen-tial to confirm the repair with a road test and acheck with the diagnostic tool. diagnostic tool
