TRIP COMPUTER AND WARNING SYSTEM: journey parameters (3/4)
Examples of selectionsInterpreting the display selected
c) Mileage before service Distance remaining until the next service (displayed in kilometres), 
then when the service nears, several scenarios are possible:
–   distance/time less than  1,800 miles (3,000 km) or two months: 
the message “SERVICE DUE ” is displayed;
–   mileage before service equal to  0 miles (0 km) or service date 
reached: the message “SERVICE PROMPTLY” is displayed 
when the selected display is “mileage before service”, along 
with the symbol 
9 and the warning light ©.
The vehicle requires a service as soon as possible.
SERVICE IN 
137.7 KM
Note: depending on the vehicle, the mileage before service changes according \
to the driving style (frequent driving at low 
speeds, door-to-door, prolonged periods at idle speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next service c
an 
therefore, in some cases, be less than the actual distance remaining.
Resetting the display after the service in accordance with the maintenan\
ce schedule.
The mileage before service must only be reset after a service which comp\
lies with the recommendations in the Maintenance 
Document.
If you decide to change the oil more frequently, do not reset this data each time the oil is changed to avoid exceeding\
 the re-
placement intervals for other parts in the maintenance schedule.
Special features: to reset the mileage before service value, go to the service page (see\
 image above) and press and hold one 
of the display’s reset buttons for at least 10 seconds until the mileage before service\
 value is displayed continuously. Refer  to 
the information on the “Trip computer and warning system: general information” in Section 2.

Ignition on position M
The ignition is switched on:
– petrol version: you can start the ve-
hicle;
–  diesel version: the engine is pre-
heating.
Start position D
If the engine fails to start at the first 
attempt, the key must be turned back 
before the starter can be activated 
again. Release the key as soon as the 
engine starts.
Note:  on diesel versions, several sec-
onds may pass between turning the 
key and the engine starting to allow for 
engine preheating.
Ignition switch
Stop and steering lock 
position St
To lock: remove the key and turn the 
steering wheel until the steering column 
locks.
To unlock: turn the key and the steering 
wheel slightly.
Accessories position A
When the ignition is switched off, any 
accessories (radio, etc.) will continue to 
function.
Running in
Petrol version
For the first  600 miles (1,000 km) do 
not exceed 54 mph (90 km/h) in the 
highest gear.
After 600 miles (1,000 km) , you can 
use your vehicle normally. However, 
it is only after running 1,800 miles 
(3,000 km) that you can expect full per-
formance.
Service intervals: refer to the 
Maintenance Document for the vehicle.
Diesel version
For the first 900 miles  (1,500 km), do 
not exceed 54 mph (90 km/h). After 
completing this mileage you may 
drive faster, however, it is only after 
3600 miles (6,000 km) have been cov- 
ered  that you may reasonably expect 
full  performance.
During the running in period, do not ac-
celerate hard while the engine is still 
cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
Service intervals: refer to the 
Maintenance Document for the vehicle.
RUNNING IN/IGNITION SWITCH
In the “Accessories” or “On” posi-
tion, a system may automatically 
switch off your vehicle’s accessories 
depending on the battery charge, to 
prevent it from discharging com-
pletely.  

2.9
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
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.
The following operating conditions 
should be avoided:
–  driving for long periods when the low  fuel level warning light is lit;
–  using leaded petrol;
–  using fuel or lubrication additives  which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
–  faulty ignition, running out of fuel or  disconnected spark plugs resulting 
in the engine misfiring or cutting out 
when driving;
–  loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to 
overheat, reducing its efficiency  which 
may irreparably damage it and cause 
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating 
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved 
Dealer at the intervals specified in the 
Maintenance Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter, 
do not keep  trying to start the 
engine (using the start button, or by 
pushing or towing the vehicle)  without 
having identified  and corrected  the 
cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not 
continue to try and start the engine, but 
contact an approved dealer. 

2.15
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 failure to 
respect antipollution regulations could 
lead to legal action being taken against 
the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing 
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust 
components with parts other than those 
originally recommended by the manu-
facturer may alter your vehicle so that 
it no longer complies with antipollution 
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and chec-
ked by an approved Dealer, in accor-
dance 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
–  Air filter, diesel filter: a choked el-
ement will reduce efficiency. It must 
be replaced.
– Idle speed: this does not require ad- justment.
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 ins-
trument 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 pos-
sible;
–  if it flashes, reduce the engine speed  until the light stops flashing. Contact 
your approved dealer as soon as 
possible.
Refer to the information on 
«Additive tank» in Section 1. 

2.16
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).
