TRIP COMPUTER AND WARNING SYSTEM (6/10)
The display of information shown below DEPENDS ON THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT \
AND COUNTRY.
Examples of display selections by pressing button 2Interpreting the display selected
Display ADisplay B
c) Distance before serviceDistance remaining until the next service.
There are several scenarios:
– remaining mileage less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or next service due within
two months. When the display selected is “mileage before service”,
symbol Ê appears on display A. The message “Service due” appears on
display B.
– mileage before service equal to
0 miles/km or date of serviced reached. When
the display selected is “mileage before service”, symbol Ê flashes on dis-
play
A accompanied by warning light ©. The message “Service vehicle”
appears on display
B accompanied by symbol Ê and warning light ©.
Note: depending on the vehicle, the mileage before service changes according to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed, door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing a trailer etc.). The distance remaining until the next service can there- fore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance travel\
led.
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 complies with the recommendations in the maintenance schedule.
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 note: to reset the distance before service, press and hold one of the display reset buttons for approximately 10 seconds until the display shows the mileage permanently.

Special features of petrol versions
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
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 Service Booklet.
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 con- tact with the hot exhaust system.

ENG_UD10558_1Conseils antipollution, économies de carburant, conduite (X85 - B85 \
- C85 - S85 - K85 - Renault)ENG_NU_853-3_BCSK85_Renault_2

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
– 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
w i n d o w s o p e n a t 6 0 m p h ( 1 0 0 k m / h ) w i l l i n c r e a s e f u e l consumption by 4%.
– 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.
–
In vehicles fitted with air condi- tioning, it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (espe- cially 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.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– 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.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stopped, move the lever to position P while keeping your foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is in neutral and the drive wheels are me- chanically locked by the driveshaft.Apply the handbrake.
When setting off, if the lever is locked in position P even though you are de- pressing the brake pedal, the lever can be released manually. To do this, unclip
the base of the lever, press recess 7, visible on the gear lever gaiter, and the unlocking button on the lever.
Operating faults
– when driving, if the ‘check gearbox’ message appears on the instrument panel, it indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible;
–
when driving, if the message “gear- box overheating” appears on the in- strument panel, avoid leaving the lever in position D (or R) where traf- fic conditions allow: always return to position N when stationary.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible;
–
If a vehicle with an automatic gear- box breaks down, refer to the infor- mation on “Towing” in Section 5.
7
For safety reasons, do not switch off the ignition before the vehicle has come to a complete standstill.
An impact to the under- side of the vehicle while manoeuvring (e.g.: strik- ing a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor- mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an ap- proved Dealer.
