Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
warning light (where fitted)
When the DPF warning light illuminates, it indicates
that particulate matter is accumulated to the speci- fied amount of the limit in the filter and the filter
needs to regenerate. For filter regeneration details,
see “Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) (where fitted)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
CAUTION
If you continue driving with the DPF warning light
on without performing the filter regeneration, this
will lead to particulate matter overload in the fil-
ter.
If this occurs, then the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) will turn on. The performance of the engine
might be limited to protect the DPF system. See
an approved dealer or qualified workshop to per-
form the service regeneration. Door open warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
door open warning light illuminates if any of the doors
are open or not closed securely. Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) warning light (where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) warning light illuminates and then turns off. The warning light blinks when the ESP system is
operating.
When the warning light blinks while driving, the driv-
ing condition is slippery and the vehicle’s traction
limit is about to be exceeded.
If the ESP warning light illuminates while the engine
is running or while driving, it may indicate that the
ESP system is not functioning properly and may
need servicing. Have the system checked, and if
necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop promptly. If amalfunction occurs, the
ESP function is turned off, but the vehicle is still driv-
able. (See “Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
system (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.) Engine oil pressure warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
engine oil pressure warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the engine oil pressure warning
light turns off. This indicates that the oil pressure
sensors in the engine are operational.

blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate
that the engine oil pressure is low.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Stop
the engine immediately and call an approved dealer
or qualified workshop. CAUTION
• Running the engine with the engine oil pres-
sure warning light illuminated could cause se-
rious damage to the engine.
• The engine oil pressure warning light is not
designed to indicate
alow oil level. The oil
level should be checked using the dipstick.

–T
he oil replacement indicator is displayed
in the vehicle information display.
• The engine oil should be changed before the
distance to oil change reaches
0km(0miles).
Continued driving after the distance to oil
change reaches 0km(0miles) may result in
reduced engine performance.
• The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) may also
become saturated because regeneration is
restricted once the distance to oil change
reaches 0km(0m iles).
Have the vehicle inspected by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop if the above con-
dition occurs.
• The oil change interval will reduce faster with
certain types of driving, especially at low
speeds in urban conditions.
3. Low level reminder
If the low level indicator is displayed, the engine oil level is low. If the low level reminder is displayed,
check the level using the engine oil dipstick. (See
“Checking engine oil level” in the “8. Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section.)
CAUTION
The oil level should be checked regularly using
the engine oil dipstick. Operating with an insuffi-
cient amount of oil can damage the engine and
such damage is not covered by the warranty. 4. Oil level sensor warning
If the oil sensor warning is displayed, the engine oil
level sensor may be malfunctioning. Contact an ap-
proved dealer or qualified workshop immediately.

CAUTION
To maintain maximum Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) performance, follow these precautions:
• Use low-sulphur fuel.
• Use an engine oil specified by RENAULT. (Re-
fer to the maintenance service booklet for
your vehicle.) If an engine oil not
aspecified
by RENAULT is used, it could cause DPF mal-
function or reduced fuel efficiency.
