1.69

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS

(3/3)

Rear fog light

Turn the centre ring 4 on

the stalk until the symbol is opposite

mark 5, then release it.
Depending on the vehicle, the stalk re-

turns to the initial position or stays in

position.
Operation of the fog lights depends on

the exterior lighting selected, and an in-

dicator light will light up on the instru-

ment panel.
To avoid inconveniencing other road

users, remember to switch off the rear

fog light when it is no longer needed.

Cornering lights

Whenever the dipped beam headlights

are on and under certain conditions (at

speed, the steering wheel at an angle,

in forward gear, the indicator lights on,

etc.), when taking a corner one of the

front fog lights will come on to light the

inside of the bend.

Turning off the fog lights

There are two possibilities:

– manually, depending on the vehi-

cle, turn the ring 4 again to bring the

mark 5 opposite the symbol for the

fog light that you want to switch off,

or bring the ring 4 into position -. The

corresponding indicator light will go

out on the instrument panel;

– the lights will go out automati-

cally when the engine is switched

off or the vehicle is locked, and the

fog lights when the driver’s door is

opened.

The front and rear fog lights switch off

when the exterior lights are switched

off.

Front fog lights

Turn the centre ring 4 on the

stalk 1 until the symbol is opposite

mark 5, then release it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on

the exterior lighting position selected,

and an indicator light will light up on the

instrument panel.

When driving in fog or snow, or when transporting objects which are higher than the roof, the headlights do not come on au-

tomatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains the responsibility of the driver: the indicator lights on the instrument panel inform you

whether the fog lights are lit (indicator light on) or not (indicator light not on).

1.70

Hazard warning lights

Press switch 2.

This switch activates all four direction

indicators and the side indicator lights

simultaneously. It must only be used in

an emergency to warn drivers of other

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE

(1/2)

With the ignition on, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B intermittent wiping.

The wipers will pause for several

seconds between sweeps. It is

possible to change the time be-

tween sweeps by turning ring 2.

– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.

Positions B, C and D are accessible

with the ignition on.

Vehicles with automatic wiper

function

With the engine running, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B automatic wiper function

When this position is selected, the

system detects water on the wind-

screen and triggers the wipers at a

suitable wiping speed. It is possi-

ble to change the triggering thresh-

old and the time sweeps by turning

ring 2:

– E: minimum sensitivity

– F: maximum sensitivity

NB: in foggy weather or during

snowfalls, the wiping is not automati-

cally triggered and remains under

the driver’s control.

– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.

Position C is accessible with the ig-

nition on. Positions B and D are ac-

cessible only with the engine run-

ning.

Special note
When driving, the wiping speed slows

down whenever the vehicle stops. For

example: the speed will change from

a fast wiping speed to normal wiping

speed.

As soon as the vehicle moves off,

wiping will return to the speed originally

selected.

Any action on stalk 1 overrides and

cancels automatic operation.
Starting the vehicle with the stalk in

position D triggers a slow continuous

sweeping movement. Adjusting the

stalk to position D is necessary to trig-

ger a rapid continuous sweeping move-

ment.

1.74

Windscreen washer

With the ignition on, pull stalk 1 to-

wards you.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep

of the wipers, in addition to the wind-

screen washer.
A longer pull triggers, as well as the

windscreen washer, continuous sweep-

ing until the end of the request, then

three return sweeps, then after a few

seconds, a fourth.

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE

(2/2)

In freezing or snowy weather, ensure

they are not stuck to the windscreen

(including the central area located

behind the interior rear-view mirror)

and the rear screen before starting

the wipers (risk of motor overheat-

ing).
Check the condition of the wiper

blades. You are responsible for their

service life:

– they must remain clean: clean

the blades, windscreen and

rear screen regularly with soapy

water;

– do not use them when the wind-

screen or rear screen are dry;

– free them from the windscreen or

rear screen when they have not

been used for a long time.

In all cases, replace them as soon

as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-

proximately once a year.

Before using the windscreen wiper,

check that no objects are obstruct-

ing the travel of the blade.

Do not try to lift the wiper blades.

They cannot remain detached from

the windscreen. To replace the

blades, refer to Section 5: “Wiper

blades”.

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in position A (park).

Risk of injury.

Before any action involving

the windscreen (washing

the vehicle, de-icing, clean-

ing the windscreen, etc.)

return stalk 1 to position A (park).
Risk of injury and/or damage.

1.75

Rear screen wash/wipe

With ignition on, turn the end

of the stalk 1 to bring the mark 2 in line

with the symbol. When the stalk is re-

leased, it returns to the rear windscreen

wiper position.

A short pull triggers the rear windscreen

wipers.

A prolonged action triggers, in addition

to the rear windscreen wipers, a contin-

uous sweep until the stalk is released,

then two return wipes followed by a

third, after a few seconds.

Special note
If the windscreen wipers are operat-

ing or are in automatic mode, the rear

screen wiper wipes intermittently when

reverse gear is engaged.

Depending on the vehicle, you can

deactivate this function on the touch

screen. Please see the equipment in-

structions for further information.

REAR SCREEN WASH, WIPE

In freezing or snowy weather, ensure

they are not stuck to the windscreen

(including the central area located

behind the interior rear-view mirror)

and the rear screen before starting

the wipers (risk of motor overheat-

ing).
Check the condition of the wiper

blades. You are responsible for their

service life:

– they must remain clean: clean

the blades, windscreen and

rear screen regularly with soapy

water;

– do not use them when the wind-

screen or rear screen are dry;

– free them from the windscreen or

rear screen when they have not

been used for a long time.

In all cases, replace them as soon

as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-

proximately once a year.

Before using the rear wiper, check

that no object obstructs the travel of

the blade.

FUEL TANK

(1/3)

Fuel grade

Use a high-grade fuel that complies

with the legislation in force in each

country and which must comply with

the specifications given on the label

on the cover A. Please refer to the in-

formation on “Engine specifications” in

Section 6.
Diesel version
Only use diesel fuel which complies

with the information on the label located

inside the cover A.

Useful capacity of fuel tank: approx.

45 litres.
The engine 0,9 TCe has a fuel tank ca-

pacity of 40 litres or 45 litres (depend-

ing on the vehicle).
To open cover A, place your finger into

recess B.

When filling, use the cap holder 1 on

the cover A to secure the cap 2.

After filling, check that the cap and

cover are closed.

Fuel filler cap: this is spe-

cific.
If you have to replace it,

make sure it is identical

to the original cap. Contact an ap-

proved Dealer.

Never place the cap near a source

of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a

high-pressure washer.

Do not mix even small

amounts of petrol (un-

leaded or E85) with diesel.

Do not use ethanol-based

fuel if your vehicle is not compatible

with this fuel.

Do not add additive to the fuel –

otherwise you risk damaging the

engine.

Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.

The octane rating (RON) must comply

with the information given on the label

on the cover A. Refer to Section 6 for

information on “Engine specifications”.

1.77

FUEL TANK

(2/3)

Filling with fuel

With the ignition off, insert the nozzle

and insert it fully before turning it on to

fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position through-

out the entire filling operation.

When the pump cuts out automatically

at the end of the filling procedure, a

maximum of two further filling attempts

may be made, as there must be suffi-

cient space in the fuel tank to allow for

expansion.

Make sure that no water enters the fuel

tank during filling. The cover A and its

surround must remain clean.

Petrol versions

Using leaded petrol will damage the

antipollution system and may lead to a

loss of warranty.

To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled

with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler

neck contains a restrictor fitted with a

foolproof system which only allows

the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be

used (at the pump).

Vehicle fitted with the Stop and

Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must

be stopped (and not on standby):

stop the engine by pressing the

engine stop button 3 (please refer

to the information on “Starting and

Stopping the engine” in Section 2).

Persistent fuel odour

If you notice a persistent

fuel odour you should:

– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-

fic conditions allow and switch off

the ignition;

– switch on the hazard warning

lights and ask your passengers to

leave the vehicle and stay clear

of the traffic;

– contact an approved Dealer.

1.78

FUEL TANK (3/3)

No modifications what-

soever are permitted on

any part of the fuel supply

system (electronic units,

wiring, fuel circuit, injectors, pro-

tective covers, etc.) as this may be

dangerous (unless undertaken by

qualified Network personnel).

Running out of fuel on diesel

versions

Vehicles with priming bulb 4

After a breakdown caused by com-

pletely running out of fuel, the system

must be reprimed before the engine is

restarted:

Fill the tank with at least 8 litres of

diesel fuel.

The engine can now be restarted.

If the engine does not start after several

attempts, contact an approved Dealer.

Vehicles without priming bulb 4
Insert the RENAULT card into the 5

card reader. Press the start button 3

without pressing any of the pedals. Wait

a few minutes before starting. This will

enable the fuel circuit to be primed. If

the engine does not start, repeat the

procedure.

The engine may be hot

when working in close prox-

imity. In addition, the engine

cooling fan may come on at

any moment.
Risk of injury.
