Special features of petrol versions

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS

The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low

fuel level warning light is lit;

– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives

which are not approved.

Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of

fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-

sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-

ting out when driving;

– loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con-

verter to overheat and thus reduce its

efficiency,

or damage it irreparably

and cause heat damage to the vehi-

cle.

If you notice any of the above operating

faults, have the necessary repairs car-

ried out as soon as possible by an ap-

proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-

larly taking your vehicle to an approved

Dealer at the intervals specified in the

Maintenance Service Booklet.

Starting problems

To avoid damaging the catalytic con-

verter,

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

keep trying to start the engine, but con-

tact an approved Dealer.

Do not park the vehicle or

run the engine in locations

where combustible sub-

stances or materials such as

grass or leaves can come into con-

tact with the hot exhaust system.

Special features of diesel versions

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS

Diesel engine speed

Diesel engines are fitted with injection

equipment

which prevents the engine

speed being exceeded irrespective of

the gear selected.
If the message “Check anti-pollution

system” is displayed on the instrument
panel accompanied by the

and

warning light; consult an ap-

proved dealer straight away.
When driving, depending on the fuel

grade used, it is possible that white

smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter

being cleaned automatically, and does

not affect the way the vehicle runs.

Running out of fuel

If the

tank has been completely

drained, the system must be reprimed

after the tank is refilled: see information

on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-

starting the engine.

Do not park the vehicle or

run the engine in locations

where combustible sub-

stances or materials such

as grass or leaves can come into

contact with the hot exhaust system.

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 rela-

tively full to avoid water vapour con-

densing in it and accumulating at the

bottom of the tank.

It is therefore essential to

immobilise the vehicle by

engaging first gear (manual

gearbox) or position

P (au-

tomatic gearbox). If the slope re-

quires it, chock the vehicle.

Versions with an automatic

gearbox

For safety reasons, automatic release

is deactivated when the driver’s door

is open or not shut properly and the

engine is running (in order to prevent

the vehicle from moving without the

driver). The “Release parking brake

manually” message appears on the

instrument panel when the driver de-

presses the accelerator.

Never leave your vehicle

without moving the selec-

tor lever to position

P or N.

This is because when the

vehicle is stationary with the engine

running and a gear engaged, the

vehicle may begin to move if you

accelerate.
There is a risk of accidents.

If no lights or sounds are ap-

parent, this indicates a fault

in the instrument panel. This

indicates that it is essential

to stop immediately (as soon as traf-

fic conditions allow). Ensure that the

vehicle is correctly immobilised and

contact an approved Dealer.

Advice: antipollution and fuel economy

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving

(1/3)

Your vehicle complies with criteria for

recycling and recovering vehicles at the

end of their service life which will come

into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-

fore been designed to facilitate future

recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so

that they can be recovered and reproc-

essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel

consumption and initial settings, your

vehicle also conforms to current anti-

pollution regulations. The manufac-

turer is actively striving to reduce pol-

lutant exhaust gas emissions and to

save energy. But the fuel consumption

of your vehicle and the level of pollutant

exhaust gas emissions are also your

responsibility. Ensure that it is main-

tained and used correctly.

Aiding fuel economy

Depending on the vehicle, in order to

optimise consumption, an indicator light

on the instrument panel will inform you

of the best moment to upshift or down-

shift gears:

shift up a gear;

[

shift down a gear.

Maintenance

It is important to remember that failure to

respect antipollution regulations could

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 manu-

facturer may alter your vehicle so that

it no longer complies with antipollution

regulations.

Have your vehicle adjusted and

checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-

cordance with the instructions given in

your maintenance schedule: they will

have all the equipment necessary for

ensuring that your vehicle is maintained

to its original standard.

Engine adjustments

–

ignition: this does not require ad-

justment.

–

spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-

omy, 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 an approved dealer

for this.

–

idle: this does not require adjust-

ment.

–

air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele-

ment reduces performance. It must

be replaced.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving

(2/3)

– Brake as little as possible. If you an-

ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-

vance, you may then simply release

the accelerator pedal.

– Avoid sudden acceleration.

– Do not overrev the engine in the in-

termediate gears.

Always use the highest gear possi-

ble without labouring the engine.

On versions with an automatic gear-

box, it is preferable to keep the gear

lever in position

– 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 water is above the

lower edge of the wheel

rims.

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 sta-

tionary.

– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive

with a light right foot.

Exhaust gas monitoring

system

The exhaust gas monitoring system will

detect any operating faults in the vehi-

cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-

stances may be released into the at-

mosphere or damage may occur.

This warning light on the in-

strument panel will indicate if

there are any faults in the system:

This lights up when the ignition is

switched on and goes out when the

engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an

approved Dealer as soon as possi-

ble;

– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed

until the light stops flashing. Contact

your approved dealer as soon as

possible.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving

(3/3)

Advice on use

– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the

electrical components which are

not really needed.

However (safety

first), keep your lights on when the

visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).

– Use the air vents. Driving with the

windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)

will increase fuel consumption by

4%.

– Avoid using the car for door-to-door

calls (short journeys with long waits

in between) because the engine

never reaches its normal operating

temperature.

Tyres

– An underinflated tyre increases fuel

consumption.

– The use of non-recommended tyres

can increase fuel consumption.

–

In vehicles fitted with air condi-

tioning, it is normal to observe an

increase in fuel consumption (es-

pecially in urban conditions) when

it is used. For vehicles fitted with

manual air conditioning, switch off

the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption

and therefore helping to preserve

the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the

sun, open the doors for a few mo-

ments to let the hot air escape before

starting the engine.

– Never fill the fuel tank right to the

brim to avoid overflow.

– Do not leave an empty roof rack

fitted to the vehicle.

– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-

jects.

– When towing a caravan, fit a wind

deflector and adjust it carefully.

ENVIRONMENT

Emissions

Your vehicle has been designed to

emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)

while in use, and therefore to consume

less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to

5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).

Our vehicles are also equipped with a

particle filter system including a cata-

lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and

an active carbon filter (the latter pre-

vents vapour from the fuel tank being

released into the open air).

Please make your own

contribution towards

protecting the environment

too.

– Worn parts replaced in the course of

routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-

cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-

ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or

filled with used oil) must be disposed

of through specialist organisations.

– At the end of the vehicle’s service

life, it should be sent to approved

centres to ensure that it is recycled.

– In all cases, comply with local legis-

lation.

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and

95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of

the vehicle components have been de-

signed to enable them to be recycled.

The materials and structures have

been carefully designed to allow these

components to be easily removed and

reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-

sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-

merous parts made from recycled plas-

tics or renewable materials (vegetable

or animal-derived materials such as

cotton or wool).

Your vehicle has been designed with

respect for the

environment in mind for

its entire service life: during production,

use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the

Renault eco² group signature.

Manufacture

Your vehicle has been manufactured at

an industrial site which uses a progress

policy to reduce environmental impacts

on rivers and natural areas (reduc-

tion of water and energy consumption,

visual and noise pollution, atmospheric

emissions and waste water, sorting and

reusing waste).

Tyre pressure monitor

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid.
However, the function does

not take the place of the

driver. It cannot, therefore, under

any circumstances replace the vig-

ilance or the responsibility of the

driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including

the emergency spare wheel, once a

month.

TyRE PRESSURE MONITOR

(1/3)

If the vehicle is equipped with the func-

tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-

sure.

Operating principle

Each wheel (except for the emergency

spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-

tion valve which periodically measures

the tyre pressure.
The system informs the driver via the

display 1 and trip computer and warn-

ing system 2 that the tyres are suf-

ficiently inflated and warns if they are

underinflated or leaking.

The tyre pressure can be adjusted

when cold (refer to the information on

“Tyre pressures”).

If tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are

cold, the recom-

mended pressures must be increased

0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Changing a wheel

If you wish to change your wheels (fit-

ting winter tyres etc.), the system will

reset itself automatically after approx-

imately two minutes driving at a mini-

mum speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).

Changing a wheel
The system may take sev-

eral minutes depending on

use for the new wheel po-

sitions and pressures to be recog-

nised; check the tyre pressures after

all operations.
