Renault Trafic (2018 year). Instruction

1.114

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.

FUEL TANK

(2/3)

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 (please refer to the

information on “Starting and stop-

ping 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.

1.115

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).

FUEL TANK (3/3)

Running out of fuel on diesel

versions

Vehicles with key/remote control
– Put the ignition key in “On” posi-

tion M (please see the information on

the “Ignition switch” in Section 2) and

wait for a few minutes before start-

ing, to enable the fuel circuit to be

primed;

– turn the key to position D. If the

engine does not start, repeat the pro-

cedure.

Vehicles with RENAULT card
Insert the RENAULT card into the 3

card reader. Press the start button 4

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.

1.116

Please ensure that you comply with the

legislation of your country.
It is important to remember that failure

to respect regulations in force could

lead to legal action being taken against

the vehicle owner.

Operating principle

The use of additives reduces exhaust

emissions by transforming the pollut-

ants into water vapour and nitrogen.

Filling

Capacity of the fuel tank: 20 litres ap-

proximately.

Open the front left door to open the

cover A. Unscrew the cap 1.

ADDITIVE TANK

(1/4)

Fuel filler cap: this is spe-

cific.

If you have to replace it,

make sure it is identical to

the original cap. Contact an appro-

ved Dealer. Do not wash the filler

area with a high pressure washer.

Vehicle fitted with the Stop and

Start function

To fill up with additive, the engine

must be stopped (and not on

standby): stop the engine (Please

See “Starting, stopping the engine”

in Section 2).

No work whatsoever is

permitted on any part of

the system. To prevent

damage, only qualified per-

sonnel from our network may work

on the system.

Topping up

After filling the additive

tank, check that the cap and

cover are closed, start the

engine and WAIT 10 seconds with

the vehicle stationary, engine

running before setting off again.

If this operation is not carried out,

the filling of the tank will not be

taken into account automatically

until after several dozens of minutes

of driving. The message “--- TOP UP

ADBLUE” and/or the warning lights

will continue to appear until the fill-

ing has been taken into account by

the system.

If the warning “XXXX

KM FAILURE TOP UP

ADBLUE” appears, fill the

additive tank and refer to

the filling instructions.

Risk of immobilisation of the

vehicle.

1.117

Additive quality

Use only additives which conform

to standard ISO 22241 and in accor-

dance with the label on the fuel filler

flap.

Average fuel consumption

A p p r o x i m a t e l y 8 0 7 m p g

(3.5 l/1,000 km) depending on the vehi-

cle and the driving style.

The additive must not come

into contact with eyes or

skin. If it does, wash the af-

fected area with plenty of

cold water. If necessary, consult a

doctor.

ADDITIVE TANK

(2/4)

Precautions for use

Always read the information on the ad-

ditive can.
Handle additives with care. They can

damage clothes, shoes, bodywork

components etc.
If the additive overflows, or contami-

nates any paintwork, clean the affected

area quickly with a damp cloth.
In extreme cold weather conditions

The vehicle is fitted with a system for

reheating the additive fluid that enables

you to drive in extreme cold weather

conditions.
Precautions when filling the tank

The additive fluid freezes below about

-10°C.

In this case, do not attempt filling when

the fluid is frozen.

It is therefore advisable to top up the

additive fluid or have it topped up by a

qualified professional as soon as the



warning light on the instrument

panel first comes on.

do not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in

the highest gear, or 2,500 rpm. After

completing this mileage you may drive

faster, although you may only expect

top performance after approximately

3,600 miles (6,000 km).
During the running in period, do not ac-

celerate hard while the engine is still

cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
Service intervals: refer to the
