Vehicles running on ethanol-based
fuel
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or
fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-
anol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine. To avoid this problem, use un-
leaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles,
use the heater integrated in the engine:
connect the special end of the exten-
sion piece supplied into the socket in-
tegrated into the radiator grille and the
other end into a 220V socket for at least
6 hours before starting.
Note: you may notice an increase in
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.
Useful capacity of fuel tank:
60 litres approximately.
With the vehicle unlocked, to open the
compartment B, place your finger into
the recess C.
Valve A is integrated into the filler pipe. For details on filling the fuel tank, refer
to the information on “Filling with fuel”.
To close it, press on the fuel filler flap by
hand, as far as it will go.
Fuel gradeUse a good quality fuel that complies
with the standards in force in the rele-
vant country. The fuel must conform to
the specifications indicated on cover B.
Refer to the information on “Engine
specifications” in Section 6.
Diesel versions
It is essential to use diesel fuel that
conforms with the information given on
the label inside cover B.
Petrol versions
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must conform
to the specifications on the label inside
fuel filler flap B. Refer to the information
on “Engine specifications” in Section 6.
Never press valve A with your fingers.
Do not wash the filler area with a high pressure washer.
FUEL TANK (1/3)
BA
C
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add additive to the fuel –
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.

1.78
Filling with fuelWith the ignition off, insert the nozzle to
open valve A and insert it fully before
turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of
splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position through-
out the entire filling operation.
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.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. Valve A and its sur-
round must remain clean.
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).
FUEL TANK (2/3)
Persistent smell of
fuel
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 to keep
away from traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine by pressing the
engine stop button 1 (please refer
to the information on “Starting and
stopping the engine” in Section 2).

No modifications what-
soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply
system (computers, wiring,
fuel circuit, injector, protection
covers, etc.) as this may be danger-
ous (such work must be undertaken
by qualified Network personnel).
Running out of fuel on diesel
versions
Vehicles with priming bulb 2
After a breakdown caused by com-
pletely running out of fuel, the system
must be reprimed before the engine is
restarted:
Fill the tank with at least 8 litres of
diesel fuel.
Press priming bulb 2 several times.
The engine can now be restarted.
If the engine does not start after several
attempts, contact an approved Dealer. Vehicles without priming bulb
2
Insert the RENAULT card into the card
reader. Press the button without press-
ing any of the pedals. Wait a few min-
utes before starting. This will enable the
fuel circuit to be primed. If the engine
does not start, repeat the procedure.

higher than around 30 °C);
– the “Clear View” function is activa- ted (please see “Automatic Climate
Control” in Section 3);
