fuel cap RENAULT TRAFIC 2015 X82 / 3.G Owners Manual

1.112
Fuel grade
Use a high-grade fuel that complies
with the legislation in force in each
country and which must comply with
the specifications given on the label
on the cover A. Please refer to the in-
formation on “Engine specifications” in
Section 6.
Diesel version
Only use diesel fuel which complies
with the information on the label located
inside the cover A.
Useful capacity of fuel tank: Approx.
80 litres
Open the front left door to open the
cover A.
When filling, use the cap holder 1 on
the cover A to secure the cap 2.
FUEL TANK (1/3)
After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.
Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical
to the original cap. Contact an ap-
proved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add additive to the fuel –
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.

Precautions for use
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.
Do not top up the additive when the
temperature is below 0°C.
Always read the information on the ad-
ditive can.
Please ensure that you comply with the
legislation of your country.
Operating principle
The use of additives reduces exhaust
emissions by transforming the pollu-
tants into water vapour and nitrogen.
Filling
Capacity of the fuel tank: 20 litres
ap-
proximately.
Open the front left door to open the
cover A. Unscrew the cap 1.
Additive quality
Use the additive specified on the label
affixed to the tank flap.
ADDITIVE TANK (1/3)
After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.
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.

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.
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).No work whatsoever is per-
mitted on any part of the
system.
To prevent damage, only
qualified personnel from our network
may work on the system.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/4)
Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

3.12
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in town)
when the air conditioning is operating.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Switch off the system when it is not re-
quired.
Drive with the air vents open and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few moments
to let the hot air escape before starting
the engine.
Vehicles fitted with an
auxiliary heater
Some vehicles are fitted with an auxil-
iary heater which heats the passenger
compartment more quickly.
This device operates only when the
engine is running and in cold weather.
When the device is functioning you
can normally see a small amount of
smoke on the right-hand side of the ve-
hicle coming from the heater’s exhaust
system.
Advice on useIn some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, ventila-
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again.
MaintenanceRefer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.
Fuel consumption increases when
the air conditioning is being used
(switch it off when it is not required).
