Resetting the trip mileage
With the display set to “trip mileage re-
corder”, press and hold button 1 or 2, or
press and hold buttons 1 and 2 simul -
taneously.
Resetting the journey
parameters (reset button)
With the display set to one of the
journey parameters, press and hold
button 1 or 2, or the two buttons simul-
taneously.
Interpreting some of the
values displayed after
resetting
The values showing average fuel con -
sumption, range and average speed
will become more stable and reliable
the further you travel after pressing the
reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing
the reset key you will notice that the
range increases as you travel. This
range takes into account the average
fuel consumption since the last time the
reset button was pressed. Therefore,
the average fuel consumption may de-
crease when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating;
– the engine reaches its operating
temperature (if the engine was cold
when the reset key was pressed);
– when driving from an urban area
onto the open road.
Automatic resetting of the
journey parameters
Resetting occurs automatically when
the maximum value of any of the pa -
rameters is exceeded.1

Filling up with fuel
With the ignition switched off, insert the
nozzle so that the valve is open and
fully insert the nozzle before engaging
it in order to fill the tank (risk of splash -
back).
Keep the nozzle in this position through -
out the entire filling operation.
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).
Petrol and diesel versions
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.
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must con -
form with the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A . Refer
to the information on “Engine specifica-
tions” in Section 6.
Special features of vehicles running
on ethanol-based fuel:
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or
fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-
anol (E85).
To make it easier to start the engine in
very cold conditions, it is recommended
to use unleaded petrol or, on equipped
vehicles, to use the heater integrated in
the engine.
In this case, connect the special end of
the extension piece supplied into the
socket integrated into the radiator grille
and the other end into a 220V socket
for at least 6 hours before starting.
Note: when using ethanol-based fuel,
you may notice over-consumption.
FUEL TANK (2/2)
No modifications what -
soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply
system (electronic unit,
wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protec -
tive covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (unless undertaken by
qualified Network personnel).
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.

Advice: antipollution and fuel economy
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life which will come
into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac -
turer is actively striving to reduce pol -
lutant exhaust gas emissions and to
save energy. But the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main -
tained and used correctly.Aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, in order to
optimise consumption, an indicator light
on the instrument panel will inform you
of the best moment to upshift or down -
shift gears:
\ shift up a gear;
[ shift down a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to
respect antipollution regulations could
lead to legal action being taken against
the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu -
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations. Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments–
ignition: this does not require ad -
justment.
– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, efficiency and performance
the specifications laid down by our
Design Department must be strictly
applied.
If the spark plugs have to be
changed, use the make, type and
gap specified for your vehicle’s
engine. Contact an approved dealer
for this.
– idle: this does not require adjust -
ment.
– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele-
ment reduces performance. It must
be replaced.

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
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel 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 (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.
– 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.

Environment
ENVIRONMENT
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)
while in use, and therefore to consume
less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to
5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a cata -
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter pre -
vents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).
Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too.
– Worn parts replaced in the course of
routine vehicle maintenance (vehi -
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter -
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations.
– At the end of the vehicle’s service
life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis -
lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re -
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu -
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the
environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the
Renault eco² group signature.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
an industrial site which uses a progress
policy to reduce environmental impacts
on rivers and natural areas (reduc -
tion of water and energy consumption,
visual and noise pollution, atmospheric
emissions and waste water, sorting and
reusing waste).

Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating. For vehi -
cles fitted with manual air condition -
ing, switch off the system when it is
not required.
advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
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.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in -
spection frequency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– r eduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning per -
formance. This may be caused
by the passenger compartment
filter cartridge becoming clogged.
– no cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
notes
Presence of water under the ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
t here is a risk of damage or of
fire.
