Specific engine details are not the primary focus of this steering manual. Performance Performance Notes: Steering system performance is directly tied to the hydraulic system's integrity and the proper functioning of the steering gear. Fuel System Fuel System Notes: Not directly covered, but engine type impacts overall vehicle characteristics and potential chassis loads affecting steering. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Types: Manual transmissions (e.g., Renault B series, ZF Ecomat) and automated manual transmissions were common across these RENAULT truck models. Specific transmission details are outside the scope of this steering manual. Optional Optional Transmission Types: Automatic transmissions were also available on some models. Features Features Notes: The manual does not cover transmission specifications or repair procedures. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Exterior Dimensions Notes: Vehicle dimensions vary significantly across the listed RENAULT truck models (e.g., MIDLINER, MAGNUM, KERAX). This manual does not provide exterior dimension specifications but is crucial for servicing steering systems on these diverse chassis. Interior Interior Dimensions Notes: Interior dimensions are not covered by this manual. Cargo Cargo Dimensions Notes: Cargo capacity and dimensions are not covered by this manual. Weights Weight Specifications Notes: Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and Gross Combination Weight (GCW) vary by model and configuration. The manual implicitly relates to these as the steering system must be rated for the vehicle's operational weight. Specific weight data is not included. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Safety Rating Notes: While direct safety ratings (like NCAP) are not the focus, a properly functioning steering system is paramount for vehicle safety. This manual ensures the steering system is maintained to manufacturer standards. Active Features Active Safety Features Related: Power steering assist, steering wheel play (lash) control.
