NOTE
For an overview see “Meters and gauges” in the
“0. Illustrated table of contents” section and see
“Instrument panel” in the “0. Illustrated table of
contents” section.

SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed. Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level
in the tank when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking, turn-
ing, accelerating, or going up and down hills due to
movement of fuel in the tank.
The low fuel warning appears on the vehicle infor-
mation display when the fuel level in the tank is get-
ting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient, prefer-
ably before the gauge reads the empty (0) position.
The arrow, ,i
ndicates that the fuel filler lid is
located on the left side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Refuel before the gauge reads the empty (0) po-
sition.
There is asmall reserve of fuel in the tank when the
fuel gauge reads the empty (0) position. Odometer
Distance to empty (dte
—kmormile):
The distance to empty (dte) ➀provides you with an
estimation of the distance that can be driven before
refuelling. The dte is constantly being calculated,
based on the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and the
actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds. NIC2704 JVI0602XZ JVI1041XZ

play will change to “———”.
• If the amount of fuel added is small, the distance
to empty shown just before the ignition switch is
placed in the “OFF” position may continue to be
displayed.
• When driving uphill or rounding curves, the fuel
in the tank shifts, which may momentarily change
the display.
Odometer/Twin trip odometer:

HEADLIGHT SWITCH
RENAULT recommends that you consult the local
regulations concerning the use of lights.
AUTO position
When the ignition switch is in the ONposition and
the headlight switch is in the position, the
headlights, front clearance lights, instrument panel
lights, rear combination lights and other lights turn
on automatically depending on the brightness of the
surroundings.
The headlights will turn on automatically at twilight
or in rainy weather (when the windscreen wiper is
operated continuously).
When the ignition switch is placed in the OFFposi-
tion, the lights will turn off automatically. CAUTION
Do not place any objects on top of the brightness
sensor. The sensor senses the brightness level
and controls the autolight function. If the sensor
is covered, it reacts as if it is dark, and the head-
lights will illuminate.
m position
The position
