SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VEHICLES FITTED WITH AN EXHAUST PARTICLE FILT\
ER
When driving, depending on the
grade of fuel 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.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with
injection equipment which prevents
the engine from over-revving,
irrespective of the gear engaged.
Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
- ensure that the battery is always fully charged;
- always keep the fuel tank relatively full to avoid water vapour
condensing in it and accumulating
at the bottom of the tank.
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.
The warning light comes on
to indicate a filter saturation risk.
To clean the particle filter, we
recommend that you drive the
vehicle as soon as possible until the
warning light goes out, at an average
speed of 48 mph (80 km/h) provided
that traffic conditions and the speed
limit allow it.
As an indication, cleaning should
last about 20 minutes in this case.
If the message “Check emission
control” or “Regenerate particle
filter” is displayed alongside the
warning light, refer to your
RENAULT dealer as soon as possible.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR (continued)
Emergency spare wheel
The spare wheel has no sensor, and
cannot be recognised by the system.
When it is fitted in the place of
another wheel, the system then
detects an operation fault.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires special
equipment (wheels, wheel trims, etc.).
Contact your RENAULT Dealer to
find out about accessories
compatible with the system and
which may be purchased from
RENAULT outlets: the use of any
other accessory could affect the
correct operation of the system.
Tyre repair aerosols
Because the valves are specially
designed, use only aerosols
approved by Renault’s Technical
Department.
Display
Display 1on the instrument panel
informs you of any tyre pressure
faults (flat tyre, punctured tyre,
system fault, etc.). The following pages show the
possible warning lights, symbols
and messages.
