SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
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
Services 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.
The following operating conditions
should be avoided:

low fuel level warning light is lit,

are not approved by RENAULT.
Or operating faults such as:
fuel or spark plug disconnected
resulting in the engine misfiring
and bucking while driving,

may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat and thus reduce its
efficiency, or destroy it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle .
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.

HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING (continued)
Air recirculation operation
(isolating the passenger
compartment)
Turn control Atowards the air
recirculation symbol .
In these conditions air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is
recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle.
Air recirculation is used to:
- isolate the vehicle from the external atmosphere (driving in
polluted areas, etc.),
- reach the desired temperature in the passenger compartment as
quickly as possible. Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on
the side windows and windscreen
and problems due to the use of
non-renewed air in the passenger
compartment.
We therefore advise you to return
to normal mode (external air) as
soon as the recirculated air
function is no longer required, by
turning control
Aagain.
