Filling up with fuel
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the antipollution system 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 valve is
pushed back and then fully insert it before beginning to fill the tank (risk of splashback).
– Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling opera- tion.
Petrol and diesel versions
When the pump cuts out automatically at the end of the filling procedure, a maximum of two further filling attempts may be made, as there must be suffi- cient space in the fuel tank to allow for expansion.
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol. The octane rating (RON) must con- form with the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A. Refer to the information on “Engine specifica- tions” in Section 6.
Special features of vehicles running on ethanol-based fuel:
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth- anol (E85).
To make it easier to start the engine in very cold conditions, it is recommended to use unleaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles, to use the heater integrated in the engine.
In this case, connect the special end of the extension piece supplied into the socket integrated into the radiator grille and the other end into a 220V socket for at least 6 hours before starting.
Note: when using ethanol-based fuel, you may notice over-consumption.
FUEL TANK (2/2)
No modifications what- soever are permitted on any part of the fuel supply system (electronic unit, wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protec- tive covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (unless undertaken by qualified Network personnel).
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent fuel odour you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf
- fic conditions allow and switch off the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers to leave the vehicle and stay clear of the traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.

Special features of petrol versions
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives
which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of
fuel or disconnected spark plugs re- sulting in the engine misfiring or cut- ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con- verter to overheat and thus reduce its efficiency, or damage it irreparably and cause heat damage to the vehi- cle.
If you notice any of the above operating faults, have the necessary repairs car- ried out as soon as possible by an ap- proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu- larly taking your vehicle to an approved Dealer at the intervals specified in the Maintenance Service Booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con- verter, 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 keep trying to start the engine, but con- tact an approved Dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations where combustible sub- stances or materials such as grass or leaves can come into con- tact with the hot exhaust system.

As a guide, this type of cleaning should take up to 20 minutes.
If the © warning light comes on, accompanied by the message “Check antipollution”, consult an approved Dealer as soon as possible.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection equipment which prevents the engine speed being exceeded irrespective of the gear selected.
Special features of diesel versions fitted with a particle filter
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations where combustible sub- stances or materials such as grass or leaves can come into con- tact with the hot exhaust system.
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.
Warning light
1 Ü comes on to indi- cate a filter saturation risk.
To clean the particle filter, for 60 miles (100 km) after the message appears, drive at an average speed of at least 24 mph (40 km/h), where suitable traf- fic conditions and the speed limit will allow, until the warning light goes out. You may need to restart the operation if the vehicle has to stop before the warn- ing light goes out.

When stationary, and de- pending on the slope and/or vehicle load, it may be nec- essary to pull up the hand- brake at least two extra notches and engage a gear (1st or reverse gear)
for vehicles with a manual gearbox or position P for vehicles with an au- tomatic gearbox.
Make sure that the hand- brake is properly released when driving (red indicator light off), otherwise over- heating may occur.
An impact to the under- side of the vehicle while manoeuvring (e.g.: strik- ing a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor- mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an ap- proved Dealer.

– Brake as little as possible by suitably anticipating an obstacle or bend and then simply releasing the accelerator pedal.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in
- termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi- ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with an automatic trans- mission, it is preferable to keep the
gear lever in position D.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on level roads. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off the engine are unnecessary in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads.
Do not drive through floods if the depth of water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub- stances may be released into the at- mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in- strument panel will indicate if there are any faults in the system:This lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out when the engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult
your approved dealer as soon as possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.
Driving
– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the vehicle is sta- tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)

The braking modulation provided by the ABS is independent of the effort applied to the brake pedal. In an emergency, apply firm and contin- uous pressure to the brake pedal There is no need to pump it repeat- edly.
2 – The orange warning
light x and the red brake fault warning light
D along with © and
® and the message ‘brake fault’ light up on the instrument panel.
This indicates that both the brak- ing system and the ABS system are faulty. Your braking systems are only partially operational. However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and it is essential to stop immedi-
ately, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Contact an approved Dealer.
One of two situations may arise if there is a fault in the ABS system:
1 – The orange warning lights
x
and © light up on the instru- ment panel.
Braking is still performed, but with- out the ABS system. Contact an ap- proved Dealer as soon as possible.

t)ENG_NU_853-3_BCSK85_Renault_2
This system helps to keep control of the vehicle in critical driving situations (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip when cornering, etc.) and works in conjunc- tion with the ‘understeer control’ system.
Electronic Stability Program: ESP
This function is an addi- tional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav- iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum- stances replace the vigilance or re- sponsibility of the driver when ma- noeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden in- cidents which may occur when driv- ing).
When the E.S.P. function starts oper-
ating, warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompa- nied by the ‘traction control deselected’ message when the engine is started, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the E.S.P. in the case of pronounced understeering (loss of front axle road holding).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle measure the actual direction.
The system compares the direction se- lected by the driver and the actual di- rection of the vehicle and corrects this as necessary by applying the brakes selectively and/or acting on the engine power.

Deactivating the A.S.R.
function results in the E.S.P. function being deactivated. Refer to the information on the “Traction control: ASR” on the following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat- ing fault the message “Check ESP” ap- pears on the instrument panel along
with warning lights © and A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
The function is deactivated by pressing
switch 1; warning light A will come on to warn you that the system has been deactivated.
This action also deactivates the trac- tion control mechanism: the message ‘ASR deselected’ appears on the in- strument panel. Refer to the informa- tion on “Traction control” in the follow- ing pages.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automati- cally when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function when travelling above a threshold of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
