Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle
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. The cover A and its
surround must remain clean.
FUEL TANK (2/3)
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 (please refer to the
information on “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
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.

Please ensure that you comply with the
legislation of your country.
It is important to remember that failure
to respect regulations in force could
lead to legal action being taken against
the vehicle owner.
Operating principleThe use of additives reduces exhaust
emissions by transforming the pollut-
ants into water vapour and nitrogen.
FillingCapacity of the fuel tank: 20 litres ap-
proximately.
Open the front left door to open the
cover A. Unscrew the cap 1.

Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical to
the original cap. Contact an appro-
ved Dealer. Do not wash the filler
area with a high pressure washer.
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function
To fill up with additive, the engine
must be stopped (and not on
standby): stop the engine (Please
See «Starting, stopping the engine»
in Section 2).
No work whatsoever is
permitted on any part of
the system. To prevent
damage, only qualified per-
sonnel from our network may work
on the system.
Topping up
After filling the additive
tank, check that the cap and
cover are closed, start the
engine and WAIT 10 seconds with
the vehicle stationary, engine
running before setting off again.
If this operation is not carried out,
the filling of the tank will not be
taken into account automatically
until after several dozens of minutes
of driving. The message “--- TOP UP
ADBLUE” and/or the warning lights
will continue to appear until the fill-
ing has been taken into account by
the system.
If the warning “XXXX
KM FAILURE TOP UP
ADBLUE” appears, fill the
additive tank (minimum
2.2 gallons [10 litres]) and refer to
the filling instructions.

Warning light is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
the engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
The engine will restart when you press
the clutch pedal and move into gear.
STOP AND START function (1/3)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the
engine (standby) when the vehicle is
at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
System operating conditionsEngine standby is activated if:
– the vehicle has been driven since its last stop;
– the gearbox is in neutral;
– the clutch pedal is released;
and
– the vehicle is travelling at less than 3 km/h. Special feature of the automatic
engine re-start
Under certain conditions, the engine
can restart on its own in order to gua-
rantee your safety and comfort.
This can occur especially when:
– the outdoor temperature is too low or
too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see the information on “Air
conditioning” in Section 3);
– the battery is not sufficiently char- ged;
– the vehicle speed is above 3 mph (5 km/h) (downhill slope, etc.);
– repeated pressing on the brake pedal or braking system require-
ment;
– ...
Special features of vehicles with
remote control
Some of these conditions prevent the
engine from automatically restarting
upon opening:
– one of the doors for vehicles using a key;
– the passenger side door for vehicles using a RENAULT card.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer ope-
rational.
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition (please see
section on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine”).Do not drive off when the
engine is on standby (war-
ning light
is dis-
played on the instrument panel).
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
and the message “IGNITION OFF”
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.

STOP AND START function (2/3)
Special cases
– For vehicles using a RENAULT card, while the system is operating and
the engine is stopped (traffic jam,

out of their seat or unfastens their
seatbelt and opens the driver’s door,
the ignition will be switched off. To
restart and reactivate the Stop and
Start system, press the start button
(please see “Starting and stopping
the engine”).
– In the event of the engine stalling, if the system is operational, press
down the clutch pedal as far as it will
go to restart.
Conditions preventing the
standby of the engine
Depending on the vehicle, certain
conditions prevent the system from
using the engine standby function, in-
cluding when:
– reverse gear is engaged;
– the bonnet is not locked;
– for vehicles using a RENAULT card, the driver’s side door is not closed;
– for vehicles using a RENAULT card, the driver’s seat belt is not buckled;
– the outdoor temperature is too low or too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the battery is not sufficiently char- ged;
– the difference between the vehicle interior temperature and the automa-
tic climate control instruction is too
high; – the “Clear View” function is activated
(please see the information on “Air
conditioning” in Section 3);
– the engine coolant temperature is too low;
– automatic particle filter cleaning is underway;
or
– ...
Warning light
is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
engine standby is not available.
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine (please refer to the

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
If the message “Check antipollution
system” is displayed along with warn-
ing lights
Ä and ©, consult an
authorised dealer immediately.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade 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.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-
starting the engine.
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
contact with the hot exhaust system.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully charged,
– always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.
