EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (continued)Switching off the lights
Manual operation
There are two possibilities:
- return stalk 1to its original
position;
- the lights go out when the engine is stopped, when the driver’s door is
opened or when the vehicle is
locked. In this case, the next time
the engine is started the lights will
be switched back on according to
the position of the stalk 1.
Automatic operation (depending on
vehicle)
The lights go out when the engine is
stopped, when the driver’s door is
opened or when the vehicle is
locked.
Lights on warning buzzer
If the lights are on after the engine is
switched off, a warning beep sounds
when the driver’s door is opened to
warn you that the lights are still on.
See me home lighting function
This function (useful, for example,
to light the way when opening a
gate, a garage door, etc.), enables you
to temporarily switch on the dipped
beam headlights.
With the engine and the lights
switched off
, and the end of the
switch stalk 1 in position 0, pull the
switch stalk 1towards you: the
dipped beam headlights are
switched on for approximately
thirty seconds.
This action may be carried out no
more than four times for a maximum
lighting period of two minutes.
To switch off the lights before they
go out automatically, turn the end of
stalk 1, then return it to position 0.

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.
