Remote control unit operating range

This varies according to the environment: therefore take care when handling the remote control that you do not inadvertently lock or unlock the doors.

Note: on certain vehicles, if a door is not opened within approximately 30 seconds of the door being unlocked by remote control, the doors will lock again automatically.

Interference

Interference may be caused to the operation of the remote control by factors in the immediate vicinity (external installations or the use of equipment operating on the same frequency as the remote control).

If you lose your keys or remote control unit, or need another set,

contact your RENAULT Dealer.

- If a remote control unit is replaced, it will be necessary to take the vehicle to your RENAULT Dealer because both the vehicle and the remote control are needed to initialise the system.

- Depending on the vehicle, you have the option of using up to four remote control units.

Contact your RENAULT Dealer.

If the remote control unit will not operate:

- Make sure that the batteries are always in good condition; they have a service life of approximately two years.

Sliding side door (right-hand side)

From outside, insert the key fully into lock 3 and lock the door.

From inside, fully depress button 4, with the door closed.

1.12

LOCKING THE DOORS (continued)

Second sliding side door (located on the fuel filler cap side).

This door does not have a lock on the outside. It is locked or unlocked from outside the vehicle using the remote control (at the same time as the other doors) or from the inside by moving the locking button (same for the other side door).

Opening and closing operations are the same as for the other sliding side door.

Special information when filling with fuel:

Depending on the vehicle, when the fuel filler cap is removed during refuelling:

- the doors lock then unlock immediately, except for the side door which remains locked,

- only the side door locks. This is to prevent the door from

striking against the filler nozzle during refuelling.

When the fuel tank has been filled, refit the cap. The locking button is operational again.

For vehicles without remote control locking, the door is always locked and it is therefore possible to unlock it from the inside.

Note: if the door was open before the fuel filler cap was removed, it will

not lock.

To ensure that it does not collide with the fuel pump filler nozzle while the fuel tank is being filled, close the door, taking precautions to ensure that no one is injured. It will then lock automatically.

1.13

To activate With the ignition on, press button 1

on the locking side (opposite the symbol) for approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the beep.

To deactivate With the ignition on, press button 1

on the locking side (opposite the symbol) for approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the beep.

Operating principle

When the vehicle moves off, the system automatically locks the doors as soon as a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) is reached.

If you decide to keep the doors locked when you are driving, remember

that it may be more difficult for those assisting you to gain access to your vehicle in the event of an emergency.

Depending on the vehicle, pressing unlocking button 1 or opening a front door unlocks:

- all the doors and the luggage compartment;

- the front doors and the sliding side doors;

- the front doors.

Note: if a rear door is opened, it will automatically lock again when the vehicle reaches a speed of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).

Operating faults

If you note that the system is not operating correctly (automatic locking does not take place), first check that all the doors have been properly closed. If they are closed correctly, consult your RENAULT Dealer.

Also make sure that locking has not accidentally been deactivated.

If this is the case, switch the ignition off and on again and reactivate the system as described above.

1.14

ENGINE IMMOBILISER

Immobiliser warning light

This prevents the vehicle being driven by anyone not in possession of the vehicle’s coded ignition key.

Operating principle

The vehicle is automatically protected for a few seconds after the key is removed from the ignition.

If the vehicle does not recognise the ignition key code, warning light 1 will flash continuously and the engine cannot be started.

- System operational indicator light

When the ignition is switched on, warning light 1 comes on for approximately three seconds and then goes out. You can then start the engine. The vehicle has recognised the code and the engine can be started.

- Vehicle protection warning light

A few seconds after the ignition has been switched off, indicator light 1 will flash constantly.

The vehicle will not be protected until the key has been taken out of the ignition.

Any unauthorised work carried out on the engine immobiliser (computers, wiring, etc.) could be dangerous.

It must be carried out by a qualified RENAULT Technician.

1.15

ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM (continued)

- Operating fault warning light Petrol version After the ignition has been

switched on, if warning light 1

continues to flash or remains continuously lit, this indicates a system operating fault.

Any unauthorised work carried out on the engine immobiliser (computers, wiring, etc.) could be

dangerous. It must be carried out by a

qualified RENAULT Technician.

Diesel version

If indicator light 1 comes on or remains lit after the ignition has been switched on, this indicates that the system is not operating correctly.

In all cases, it is essential to contact a RENAULT Dealer. Only RENAULT Dealers are qualified to repair the engine immobiliser.

If the coded ignition key is faulty, use the second key (supplied with the vehicle), when warning light 1 begins to flash quickly after the ignition has been switched on. If you do not have access to this, it is essential to contact a RENAULT Dealer. Only RENAULT Dealers are authorised to repair the engine immobiliser system.

1.16

ROOF FLAP

To open

- Unfasten clip 2 by moving catch 1

upwards.

- Lift the flap until it is locked in position.

Closing

Close the roof flap before you close the rear doors.

Driving with the roof flap open may be unpleasant for passengers because exhaust gas may enter the passenger compartment. This use is solely for short distances whilst transporting bulky objects without having to open the rear doors. In this case, close the

windows and operate the ventilation system at the half or fully open setting as this will help to prevent exhaust gas from entering the passenger compartment.

To remove

- Press the two rods 3 towards each

other on each side.

- Unhook them from their mounting.

- Hold the flap with both hands.

- Tilt it as far as possible to the rear

Heated door mirrors

The door mirrors are also de-iced when rear screen demisting is switched on.

1.23

SEAT BELTS

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 ensure that your driving position is correct,

- then adjust your seat belt to provide maximum protection.

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

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 with your back firmly against the seatback. (after having

removed your coat or jacket).

This is essential to ensure that your back is in the correct position.

- Adjust the distance between the

seat and the pedals.

Your seat should be as far back as possible while still allowing you to fully depress the clutch pedal. 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.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.

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

The lap strap 2 should be worn flat over your thighs and against your pelvis.

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

1.24

SEAT BELTS (continued)

Adjusting the front seat belt height

Press button 1 to select the adjustment position you require so that shoulder strap 3 is worn as described above.

Make sure that the seat belt is locked in position correctly after you have adjusted it.

Locking

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly and ensure that buckle 5

locks into housing 4 (check that it is locked by pulling buckle 5). If the belt jams, allow it to run back before attempting to unwind it again.

To fasten (continued)

If your belt becomes completely jammed:

- pull the belt slowly but firmly so that just over an inch (3 cm) unwinds;

- then allow the belt to rewind automatically,

- unwind it again,

- if there is still a problem, contact your RENAULT Dealer.

This lights up constantly, and, when the vehicle reaches a speed of approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), depending on the vehicle, it will flash and a beep will sound for approximately 90 seconds before the light returns to being constantly lit.

Driver’s seat belt reminder warning light

Unlocking

Press button 6 on buckle 4 and the seat belt will be rewound by the inertia reel.

Guide the buckle to help the operation.

1.25

REAR SEAT BELTS

Rear side seat belts

The belts are locked, unlocked and adjusted in the same way as the front belts.

Rear centre belt

Slowly unwind belt 1 until the black buckle 2 locks into housing 3.

Make sure that the rear bench seat is locked in position correctly so that the seat belts will operate efficiently.

Refer to the information on the rear bench seat in section 3.

Rear lap belt with manual adjustment

The belts are fastened and unfastened in the same way as the inertia reel type belts.

Adjusting the lap belt

- To tighten, pull on the free end 6 of

the belt.

- To loosen, tilt adjusting buckle 4

perpendicular to the seat belt, press the buckle while pulling lap belt 5.

The central seat of the rear bench seat cannot be used when it is configured as a two-seater, as there is no

seat belt.

1.26

SEAT BELTS

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

- No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their mountings) fitted originally.

Contact your RENAULT Dealer for special operations (e.g. fitting child seats).

- Do not use devices which give any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.), as a seat belt which is worn too loosely risks causing 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 a serious accident the seat belts in use at the time must be replaced. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.

- When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.

- If necessary, readjust the position and tension of the belt.

1.27

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO FRONT SEAT BELTS

These are:

- pretensioners (described below),

- force limiter,

- driver’s and passenger airbags

(described on the following pages).

These systems are designed to act independently or together when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.

There are three possibilities, depending on the force of the impact:

- protection is provided by the belt only;

- the pretensioner is triggered to rectify belt position and take up slack in the belt;

- the airbag and the force limiter are also triggered when there are severe impacts.

Pretensioners

With the ignition on, if the vehicle is

subjected to a severe frontal impact, piston 1 immediately retracts the seat belt buckle, pulling the seat belt against the body and thereby increasing its efficiency.

- Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.

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

- Only qualified RENAULT personnel may work on the pretensioner system; otherwise the system may trigger accidentally and cause injury.

- The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially trained technician using special equipment.

- When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator.

1.28

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

Force limiter

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

Driver and passenger airbags

The airbag system uses the principles of pyrotechnics. This explains why, when the airbag inflates, it will generate 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 airbag is required, it will inflate immediately and this may cause some minor, superficial grazing to the skin or other discomfort.

An airbag may be provided for both the driver and the front passenger.

Airbag markings on the steering wheel, the dashboard and the lower section of the windscreen inform you of the presence of this equipment.

Each airbag system consists of:

- an airbag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger;

- a computer for both systems, which includes the impact sensor and a monitor controlling the electrical trigger system for the gas generator;

- a single on the instrument panel.

indicator light

1.29

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

Driver and passenger airbags

(continued) Operation

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

If a severe frontal impact occurs, the airbag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver’s head and chest against the steering wheel and the front passenger’s head against the dashboard. The airbag(s) then deflate(s) immediately so that the passengers are not impeded in any way when leaving the vehicle.

Depending on the vehicle, the passenger airbag system is linked to a front passenger airbag deactivation warning light 2 on the instrument panel. This warning light is linked to the passenger airbag deactivation system through the ignition key.

It lights up to indicate that the passenger airbag will not be inflated in the event of an impact (refer to the section on Deactivating the front passenger airbag).

Operating faults

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

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

Consult your RENAULT 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 (continued)

All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag 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 airbag inflates.

Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag

- 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 the RENAULT network).

- When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see Adjusting your driving position in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the airbag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings for passenger airbag: location A

- Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard in the proximity of the airbag housing.

- 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 be sustained. In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head etc.)

- You should reactivate the airbag as soon as you remove the child seat from the front passenger seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger in the event of an impact.

accessory outlets. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of these airbags and reduce your protection.

- Do not place any accessories, objects or animals between the seatback and the door. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the airbag from operating correctly or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.

- Only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may remove or modify a seat.

- These airbags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never insert any objects in these slits.

A marking on the windscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passenger compartment.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags 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

CHILD SAFETY

In all countries there are regulations governing the use of restraints for children and babies.

In Europe, children under 10 years

of age approved safety device which is suitable for the weight and size of the child.

The driver is responsible for ensuring that this equipment is used correctly.

Child restraints for which type approval was obtained after January 1992 offer a level of safety much greater than for restraints with type approval before that date.

It is therefore advisable to select a child restraint that complies with European regulation ECE 44.

Restraints that comply with this legislation must be marked with an orange label bearing the letter E followed by a number (which represents the country where it is type approved) and the year in which the type approval was granted.

Refer to the Child safety equipment booklet available from the RENAULT Network to choose the seat suited to your child and recommended for your vehicle.

must be seated in an

Remember that a collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres. Expressed in other terms, transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a fourth-floor balcony without railings.

Under no circumstances should babies or children be allowed to travel sitting on the knees of another

passenger in the vehicle. If a frontal impact occurs at 30 mph

(50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kg (66 lbs) will be transformed into a missile equivalent to one ton: you will find it impossible to hold the child, even if you yourself are wearing a belt.

It is particularly dangerous to put the belt round your child when he or she is sitting on your lap. Never use the belt for more than one person at the same time.

There are some passenger seats on which the installation of child seats is forbidden. To find out the authorised seats and types of child seats that can be installed in each of the authorised seats, refer to the tables on the following pages.

Before installing a child seat in the front seat (if installation is permitted)

If fitted to the passenger seat, carry out the following adjustments:

- move the passenger seat as far back as possible,

- set the seatback to its fully upright position,

- raise the seat base as far as possible,

- lower the headrest to its lowest setting,

- move the seat belt height control to the low position.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

The right choice

The safety of your children is also your responsibility.

To ensure that your child has the maximum possible protection, we recommend that you use seats approved by the RENAULT Network.

Restraint systems for all the categories are available. These systems have been developed in consultation with the manufacturers and have been tested in RENAULT vehicles.

Contact your RENAULT Dealer and ask him to help you install it.

Categories 0 and 0+ (0 to 13 kg (0 to 29 lbs))

A child’s neck is very susceptible to injury up to the age of two. It is preferable to put your child into a rear facing enclosing shell seat. This position enhances safety.

To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use RENAULT approved accessories because they are designed for your vehicle and are the only accessories for which RENAULT will provide a warranty.

Category 1 (9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs))

Between the ages of 2 and 4, a child’s pelvis is not fully developed. Restraints using the vehicle’s threepoint belts are not adequate and there is also a risk that the child will sustain abdominal injuries in the event of a frontal impact. It is therefore advisable to use a bucket type seat that restrains the child by means of a harness or shock absorbing pad.

1.39

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

Category 2 (15 kg (33 lbs) to 25 kg (55 lbs)) and category 3 (22 kg (48 lbs) to 36 kg (79 lbs))

To correctly restrain the pelvis of a child under 10 years, less than 1.36 m tall and weighing less than 36 kg (79 lbs), preferably use a raised seat with belt guides that ensure that the three-point belt lies flat over the child’s thighs.

A booster seat with a heightadjustable seatback and a belt guide are recommended as this will allow the belt to be worn as close to the base of the neck as possible but not on it.

Place the back of the child seat firmly against the vehicle seatback. Adjust the height of the headrest or remove it if necessary.

If a booster seat without a seatback is used, the vehicle’s headrest will have to be adjusted to suit the child’s stature; the upper edge of the headrest must be at the same height as the top of the child’s head and should never be lower than in line with the child’s eyes.

The standard classifies the child restraints in five categories:

Category 0 : 0 to 10 kg

(0 to 22 lbs)

Category 0+ : 0 to 13 kg

(0 to 29 lbs)

Category 1 : 9 to 18 kg

(20 to 40 lbs)

Category 2 : 15 kg to 25 kg

(33 to 55 lbs)

Category 3 : 22 kg to 36 kg

(48 to 79 lbs)

DANGER

It is forbidden to install a rear facing child seat on the

front passenger seat if the vehicle is fitted with a front passenger airbag. The child may suffer very serious injuries if the airbag inflates.

The label (on the dashboard) and marking (on the front passenger sun visor) remind you of these instructions.

1.40

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

Deactivating the front passenger airbags

(if fitted)

To fit a rear facing child seat on the front passenger seat, you must deactivate the restraint systems additional to the front passenger seat belt (frontal and side airbag).

To deactivate the airbags: switch off the ignition, press and turn lock 1 to the OFF position.

With the ignition switched on, you must check that warning light 2, AIRBAG OFF on the dashboard is lit up.

This warning light remains continuously lit to let you know that you can fit a child seat.

1.41

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

Activating the front passenger airbags

You should reactivate the airbag as soon as you remove the child seat from the front passenger seat, to ensure the protection of the front passenger in the event of an impact.

To reactivate the airbags: switch off the ignition, press and turn lock 1 to the ON position.

Switch the ignition back on, then check that the AIRBAG OFF warning light is not lit. The front passenger seat belt additional restraint systems are activated.

The passenger airbag must be activated or deactivated with the ignition off.

If work is carried out on the airbag system with the ignition

switched on, the indicator lights come on: the

passenger airbag is deactivated. Switch the ignition off then on

again to reset the airbag in accordance with the lock.

and

Operating faults

It is forbidden to fit a rear facing child seat to the front passenger seat if the airbag activation/deactivation system is faulty.

Allowing any other passenger to sit in that seat is not recommended.

Consult your RENAULT Dealer as soon as possible.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

Isofix child seat mounting system

There is a procedure for installing a child seat.

To find out which seats are fitted with this system, refer to the tables entitled Seats suitable for fitting child seats at the beginning of the information on Child safety.

The system comprises:

- two anchoring rings located between the seat base and the seatback to attach the base of the child seat,

- one ring located under the seat base to secure the child seat seatback in the rear facing position;

- a special RENAULT child seat fitted with two locks that hook onto the two rings and a belt to attach the child seat seatback.

- Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the seat mounting mechanism at the anchorage points (gravel, rags, toys, etc.).

- Always remember to fasten the seat belts on child seats for all journeys.

Only the RENAULT seat is typeapproved for this vehicle. Please contact your RENAULT Dealer to purchase this seat.

1.43

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

Fitting a child seat

- For information on fitting and using the seat, read the instructions provided carefully.

- The front seats must not be moved back beyond the halfway point on the seat runners and the seatback must be in an upright position.

- Position the guides 2 (supplied with the seat) in the openings provided in the seat base.

- Offer up seat catches 3 opposite the two rings 1 which are fitted to the vehicle rear centre seats.

- Latch the hooks onto the rings and make sure they are securely locked (by moving them forwards and backwards and from left to right).

- Push on the base of the seat firmly to bring the child seat into contact with the seatback and make sure it is securely in position.

When the seat is in the rear facing position, use strap 4 supplied with

the seat. Insert hook 5 into hole 6.

1.44

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

CHILD SAFETY

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

- Carefully follow the instructions for fitting provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.

- Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.

- The seat belt in the vehicle must be tight enough that the child seat is held in position securely. Check the tension regularly.

- Never pass the belt under the arm or behind the back.

- The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child’s size.

- Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the vehicle is moving.

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

- Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident were to occur, it may become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.

- Following a serious accident, have the seat belts and restraint systems in use at the time checked.

- You should never leave a child unattended in a vehicle, even in the restraint device.

- Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with these).

- Make sure that the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side of the traffic.

- Set your children a good example; always wear your seat belt.

Keep pressing key 3 briefly to scroll through the following information in sequence:

a) total mileage recorder, b) trip mileage recorder, c) fuel used, d) average fuel consumption, e) current fuel consumption

(depending on vehicle), f) estimated range, g) distance covered, h) average speed, i) programmed speed (speed

limiter/cruise control).

Refer to the table on the following page for display examples.

Interpreting values displayed after resetting:

The values showing average fuel consumption, range and average speed will become more stable and reliable the further you travel since the last time the reset key was pressed.

For the first few miles after pressing the reset key you will notice:

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

- the vehicle stops accelerating,

- the engine reaches its operating temperature (engine cold when reset button pressed),

- when driving from a built-up area onto the open road.

Therefore, if the average fuel consumption decreases, the range will increase.

- 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.

Note: resetting is automatic when the maximum capacity of any of the memories is exceeded.

FUEL TANK

Capacity of the fuel tank: 50 litres

approximately.

Fuel filler cap: this is a special type. If you have to

replace it, make sure the new cap is of the same type.

Contact your RENAULT Dealer. Never place the cap near a source of

heat or flame.

Fuel cut-off system in the event of a severe impact

Refer to the information in section 5 on the Fuel cut-off system in the event of a severe impact.

Fuel grade

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

Petrol versions

It is essential to use unleaded petrol. The octane rating (RON) must conform with the information given on the label beside the fuel filler neck.

Refer to Section 6 for information on engine specifications.

Diesel versions

It is essential to use diesel fuel that conforms with the information given on the label beside the filler neck.

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

Do not mix even small volumes of petrol with diesel.

1.87

FUEL TANK (continued)

Filling up with fuel

Petrol versions

Use unleaded petrol only. Using leaded petrol will damage the

anti-pollution devices 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 valve which only allows the

nozzle for unleaded petrol to be used (at the pump).

- Insert the nozzle as far as it will go

to open the valve.

- Keep the nozzle in this position throughout the entire filling operation.

Filling up with fuel (continued)

Petrol and diesel versions

No more than two filling operations may be made after the fuel feed has switched off automatically for the first time because there must be sufficient space in the fuel tank to allow for expansion.

Diesel version

Use diesel engine fuel only. Make sure that no water accidentally enters the fuel tank during filling. The fuel filler cap and neck must be clean and dust-free. The diesel fuel must be of a high grade.

No modifications whatsoever are permitted on any part of the fuel supply

system (computers, wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protection covers, etc.) as this may be dangerous (such work must be undertaken by qualified RENAULT Network personnel).

Persistent fuel odour

If you notice a persistent fuel odour you should:

- stop the vehicle when 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 the traffic;

- refrain from working on or restarting the vehicle before it has been inspected by qualified staff from the RENAULT Network.

SPECIAL NOTES ON PETROL VERSIONS

The following operating conditions should be avoided:

- driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit up,

- using leaded petrol,

- using oil or fuel supplements which are not approved by RENAULT,

or operating faults such as:

- faulty ignition, running out of fuel or spark plug disconnected resulting in engine misfire and snatching when driving,

- loss of power,

as they may cause the catalytic converter to overheat and thus reduce its efficiency, or destroy it

and cause heat damage to the vehicle.

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

These faults may be avoided by regularly taking your vehicle to your RENAULT Dealer at the intervals specified in your Warranty and Servicing booklet.

Starting faults

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 continue to try to start the engine, contact a RENAULT Dealer.

2.04

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 incorporating a mechanical regulator which

prevents overrevving of the engine

irrespective of the gear engaged.

Running out of fuel

If the fuel tank has been drained completely, you may start the

engine normally after refilling the fuel tank provided that the battery is well charged.

However, if after a few seconds and several attempts the engine fails to start, contact a RENAULT Dealer.

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.

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.

ADVICE ON FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING

RENAULT is actively striving to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy.

By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your RENAULT conforms to current anti-pollution regulations. Technical design, however, cannot achieve all. The fuel consumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are very much within your control. Make sure that your vehicle is maintained correctly, and is driven carefully.

Maintenance

It should be noted that failure to respect anti-pollution regulations may 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 anti-pollution regulations.

Have your vehicle checked and adjusted by your RENAULT Dealer in accordance with the instructions in the vehicle’s Warranty and Servicing booklet.

Your RENAULT Dealer has 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 your RENAULT Dealer for this information.

- idling speed: this does not require

adjustment.

- air filter, diesel filter: a clogged

element hinders performance and must be replaced.

2.06

ADVICE ON EMISSION CONTROL, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)

Exhaust gas monitoring system

The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any malfunctioning of the vehicle’s exhaust gas antipollution system.

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

This comes on when the ignition is switched on and goes out after three seconds.

- If it comes on continuously,

- If it flashes, reduce the engine

This instrument panel warning light shows any system faults:

contact your RENAULT Dealer as soon as possible.

speed until the light stops flashing. Consult your RENAULT 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.

- Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.

- Brake as little as possible. If you anticipate obstacles or bends ahead of you it will be sufficient just to lift your foot off the accelerator.

- Avoid sharp acceleration.

- Do not overrev the engine in the intermediate gears. Always use the highest gear possible without labouring the engine.

- 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

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