switched off, a warning beep sounds
when the driver’s door is opened to
warn you that the lights are still on.

Before washing the vehicle,
bring the stalk to position A
(park) to avoid the risk of
damage to the blades when
automatic wiping is activated.
WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (continued)
In frosty weather, make sure that
the wiper blades are not stuck by
ice (risk of motor overheating).
Keep an eye on the condition of
the blades. Replace the wiper
blades as soon as they begin to
lose efficiency (approximately
once a year).
Clean your windscreen regularly.
If you switch off the ignition
before switching off the
windscreen wiper (position A)
the blades will stop at random on
the windscreen.

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.

ADVICE ON EMISSION CONTROL, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)
in fuel consumption (especially in
urban conditions) when air
conditioning is used on vehicles
equipped with air conditioning .
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing
consumption and helping to
preserve the environment:
Drive with the air vents on and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.

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.
