2General reset and trip mileage
recorder reset button
To reset the trip mileage recorder,
the display must show the “trip
mileometer” function.
Automatic reset
Automatic resetting will occur
when the maximum of any of the
memories is exceeded.3Display selection key
Press button3repeatedly to
scroll through the following
information:
a) total mileage recorder,
b) trip mileage recorder,
c) fuel used,
d) average consumption,
e) current consumption,
f) estimated range,
g) distance covered,
h) average speed,
i) recommended speed (speed
limiter/cruise control).
Refer to the chart on the following
page for display examples.
Interpreting certain values
displayed after a reset:
The values showing average fuel
consumption, range and average
speed will become more stable
and reliable the further you travel
since the last time the reset key
was pressed.In the first few miles after resetting,
you may notice:
• that the range increases as you
drive. This is normal as the
average consumption may reduce
when:
- the vehicle is no longer
accelerating,
- the engine reaches normal
operating temperature (reset
when engine was cold),
- you drive from a built up area to
the open road.
If average consumption is
decreased, the expected range
will therefore increase.
• average consumption increases
when the vehicle is stationary
and idling.
This is normal as the computer
takes into account the fuel used
during idling.

FUEL TANK(continued)
Filling with fuel
Petrol version
Useunleaded fuel only.
Using leaded fuel will damage the
depollution equipment and may
lead to a loss of warranty.
To avoid the tank being filled with
leaded fuel, the filler neck has a
restrictor with a valvewhich only
allows an unleaded petrol nozzle to
be used(at the petrol pump).
- Insert the nozzle to open the valve,
asfarasitwillgo.
- Hold the nozzle in this position
while the tank is filled and then
release it.
Filling with fuel(continued)
Petrol and diesel versions
To allow room for expansion in the
fuel tank, do not top up more than
twice after the pump nozzle has cut
out automatically.
Any operation or
modification on the fuel
supply system (computers,
wiring, fuel circuit, in-
jector, protective covers...) is
strictly forbidden due to the
safety risks it may cause (except
for qualified staff from the
Renault network.Persistent fuel odour
Your vehicle has a pressurised fuel
supply system. If a persistent fuel
odour should occur, please:
• stop the vehicle if traffic
conditions allow and switch the
ignition off;
• switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask all passengers to
leave the vehicle to keep them
away from the traffic;
• do not intervene or restart before
the vehicle has been checked by
qualified Renault network staff.
