TRIP COMPUTER AND WARNING SYSTEM: operating fault messages
These appear with the © warning light and mean that you should drive very carefully to an author\
ised dealer as 
soon as possible. If you fail to follow this recommendation, you risk da\
maging your vehicle.
They disappear when the display selection key is pressed or after severa\
l seconds and are stored in the computer log. The 
© warning light stays on. Examples of operating fault messages are given \
in the following pages.
Examples of messages Interpreting the display selected
« CLEAN DIESEL FILTER » Indicates the presence of water in the diesel filter; contact an approve\
d Dealer 
as soon as possible.
« CHECK VEHICLE »  Indicates a fault in one of the pedal sensors, battery management system\
 or oil 
level sensor.
« CHECK AIRBAG »  Indicates a fault in the restraint system in addition to the seat belts.\
 In the event 
of an accident, it is possible that they may not be triggered.
« CHECK ANTI-POLLUTION SYSTEM »  Indicates a fault in the vehicle’s particle filter system.

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE 
Your vehicle complies with criteria for 
recycling and recovering vehicles at the 
end of their service life which will come 
into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future 
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so 
that they can be recovered and repro-
cessed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel 
consumption and initial settings, your 
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufactu-
rer is actively striving to reduce pollu-
tant exhaust gas emissions and to save 
energy. But the fuel consumption of 
your vehicle and the level of pollutant 
exhaust gas emissions are also your 
responsibility. Ensure that it is maintai-
ned and used correctly.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that fai-
lure to respect antipollution regulations 
could lead to legal action being taken 
against the vehicle owner.In addition, replacing engine, fuel 
supply system and exhaust compo-
nents with parts other than those origi-
nally recommended by the manufac-
turer may alter your vehicle so that it 
no longer complies with anti-pollution 
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and 
checked by an authorised dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in 
your maintenance schedule: they will 
have all the equipment necessary for 
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained 
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– Spark plugs:
 for optimum condi-
tions of use, output and performance 
the specifications laid down by our 
Design Department must be strictly 
applied.
  If the spark plugs have to be changed,  use the make, type and gap specified 
for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an 
authorised dealer for this.
–  Air filter, fuel filter:  a choked ele-
ment will reduce efficiency. It must 
be replaced.
–  Ignition and idle speed:  no adjust-
ment is needed.
Exhaust gas monitoring 
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will 
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic subs-
tances may be released into the atmos-
phere 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 an  approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
–  if it flashes, reduce the engine speed  until the light stops flashing. Contact 
an authorised dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

ENVIRONMENT
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to 
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) 
while in use, and therefore to consume 
less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to 
5.3  l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a 
particle filter system including a cata-
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and 
an active carbon filter (the latter pre-
vents vapour from the fuel tank being 
released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system 
also has a particle filter to reduce the 
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own 
contribution towards 
protecting the environment 
too
–  Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or 
filled with used oil) must be disposed 
of through specialist organisations. –  At the end of the vehicle’s service 
life, it should be sent to approved 
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
–  In all cases, comply with local legis- lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and 
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of 
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled. 
The materials and structures have 
been carefully designed to allow these 
components to be easily removed and 
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable 
or animal-derived materials such as 
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with 
respect for the environment in mind for 
its entire service life: during production, 
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the 
Renault eco² signature.Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at 
a factory which complies with a policy 
to reduce the environmental impact 
on the surrounding areas (reduction of 
water and energy consumption, visual 
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste). 

3.11
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid 
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in 
fuel consumption (especially in town) 
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning 
with no automatic mode, switch off the 
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption 
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents open 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.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document 
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
–  Reduction in de-icing, demisting  or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
–  No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound. 
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the 
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water 
to be present under the vehicle. This is 
caused by condensation.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning 
off, air recirculation activated, ventila-
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may 
notice that condensation starts to form 
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear 
View” function to remove it, then use 
the air conditioning in automatic mode 
to stop it forming again. 

4.9
Filters
The replacement of filter components 
(air filter, cabin filter, diesel filter, etc.) 
is scheduled in the maintenance opera-
tions for your vehicle.
Replacement intervals for filter el-
ements: refer to the Maintenance 
Document for your vehicle.
Windscreen washer reservoir
Topping up
With the engine switched off, open the 
cap  3. Fill until you can see the fluid, 
then replace the cap.
Liquid
Screen wash product (product with 
antifreeze in winter).
LEVELS (3/3)/FILTERS
3
When working in the engine 
compartment, ensure that 
the windscreen wiper stalk 
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
The engine may be hot 
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In 
addition, the engine cooling 
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Before performing any 
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must 
be switched off by pressing 
the engine stop button (please see 
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
