press the metal valve
with your fingers.
Do not wash the filler area
with a high-pressure washer.
FUEL TANK
Capacity of the fuel tank: 60 litres
approximately.
To open flap A, place your finger in

The fuel anti-return system (metal
valve) Cis built into the filler pipe.
For details on filling the fuel tank,
refer to the information on filling
with fuel.

with the standards currently in force
in each country.

No modifications what-
soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply
system (computers, wir-
ing, fuel circuit, injector, pro-
tection covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (such work must only
be undertaken by qualified
RENAULT Network personnel).
FUEL TANK (continued)
Filling up with fuel
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
anti-pollution devices 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).
- Insert the nozzle so that the metal valve is pushed back and then fully
insert it before beginning to fill the
tank (risk of splash-back).
- Keep the nozzle in this position throughout the entire filling
operation.
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;
 not work on, or restart, the vehicle before it has been inspected by
qualified staff from the RENAULT
Network.
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.
