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.

1.115
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).
FUEL TANK (3/3)
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 start-
ing, to enable the fuel circuit to be
primed;
– turn the key to position D . If the
engine does not start, repeat the pro-
cedure.
Vehicles with RENAULT card
Insert the RENAULT card into the 3
card reader. Press the start button 4
without pressing any of the pedals. Wait
a few minutes before starting. This will
enable the fuel circuit to be primed. If
the engine does not start, repeat the
procedure.
The engine may be hot
when working in close prox-
imity. In addition, the engine
cooling fan may come on at
any moment.
Risk of injury.

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.
ADDITIVE TANK (1/4)

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 upAfter 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 and refer to
the filling instructions.
Risk of immobilisation of the
vehicle.

1.117
Additive quality
Use only additives which conform
to standard ISO 22241 and in accor-
dance with the label on the fuel filler
flap.
Average fuel consumption
Approximately 807 mpg
(3.5 l/1,000 km) depending on the vehi-
cle and the driving style.
The additive must not come
into contact with eyes or
skin. If it does, wash the af-
fected area with plenty of
cold water. If necessary, consult a
doctor.
ADDITIVE TANK (2/4)
Precautions for use
Always read the information on the ad-
ditive can.
Handle additives with care. They can
damage clothes, shoes, bodywork
components etc.
If the additive overflows, or contami-
nates any paintwork, clean the affected
area quickly with a damp cloth.
In extreme cold weather conditions
The vehicle is fitted with a system for
reheating the additive fluid that enables
you to drive in extreme cold weather
conditions.
Precautions when filling the tank
The additive fluid freezes below about
-10°C.
In this case, do not attempt filling when
the fluid is frozen.
It is therefore advisable to top up the
additive fluid or have it topped up by a
qualified professional as soon as the
 warning light on the instrument
panel first comes on.

– the vehicle has been driven since its last stop;
– the gearbox is in neutral;
– the clutch pedal is released;
and
– the vehicle speed is less than ap- proximately 1.86 mph (3 km/h). This can occur especially when:
– the outdoor temperature is too low or
too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 35 °C);
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see the information on “Air
conditioning” in Section 3);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the vehicle speed is above 3 mph (5 km/h) (downhill slope etc.);
