FUEL TANK (3/3)
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.
No modifications what-
soever are permitted on 
any part of the fuel supply 
system (electronic units, 
wiring, fuel circuit, injectors, pro-
tective covers, etc.) as this may be 
dangerous (unless undertaken by 
qualified Network personnel).Running out of fuel on diesel 
versions
Vehicles with key/remote control
–  Put the ignition key in “On” posi- tion  M (please see the information 
on the “Ignition switch” in Section 
2) and wait for a few minutes before 
starting, to enable the fuel circuit to 
be primed;
–  turn the key to position D . If the 
engine does not start, repeat the pro-
cedure.
–  If the engine does not start after sev- eral attempts, please contact an au-
thorised dealer. Vehicles with RENAULT card
With the card RENAULT
 in the pas-
senger compartment, press the start 
button  4 without pressing any of the 
pedals. Wait a few minutes before start-
ing. This will enable the fuel circuit to 
be primed. If the engine does not start,

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS (1/2)
The following operating conditions:
–  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 system, running out of  fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
–  loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con-
verter to overheat and thus reduce its 
efficiency,  or damage it irreparably 
and cause heat damage to the vehi-
cle. 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 
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not 
keep trying to start the engine, but con-
tact an approved Dealer.
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.

HANDBRAKE
Handbrake
To release:
Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 1 
and then lower the lever to the floor.
The red warning light on the instrument 
panel will come on if you are driving 
with an incorrectly released handbrake.
To apply:
Pull lever  2 upwards. Check that the 
vehicle is immobilised. The warning 
light 
D on the instrument panel will 
come on.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released 
when driving (red indicator 
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may 
occur.
21
When stationary, and de-
pending on the slope and/or 
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and 
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear) 
for vehicles with a manual gearbox 
or position  P for vehicles with an au-
tomatic gearbox.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (1/3)
Resetting the standard level 
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to 
usage conditions (empty, carrying a 
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping a wheel (however  this practice is not recommended);
–  after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking 
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when 
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the 
current usage of the vehicle (empty, 
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).213
Resetting can also be done from the 
multifunction screen 3  if your vehi-
cle is fitted with a navigation system. 
Select the menu “Vehicle”, “Tyre 
pressure”.
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency 
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures 
the tyre pressure.
The system displays the current pres-
sures on the instrument panel  1 and 
alerts the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure. Resetting procedure
With the ignition on:
– repeatedly and briefly press con-
trol  2 to select the tyre pressure dis-
play and the “Tyre pressure” func-
tion;
–  press and hold (around 3 seconds)  the button 2 to launch the reset. The 
flashing tyres followed by the mes-
sages “Learning TP initiated” and 
then “Tyres location in progress” in-
dicates that the reset request for the 
tyre pressure reference value has 
been acknowledged.
Reset can take several minutes of driv-
ing.
If the resetting is followed by short 
trips, the message “Tyres location in 
progress” can remain displayed after 
successive restarts.
Note
The standard tyre pressure cannot be 
less than that recommended and indi-
cated on the door frame.
