Vehicles running on ethanol -
based fuel
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or
fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-
anol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine. To avoid this problem, use un-
leaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles,
use the heater integrated in the engine:
connect the special end of the exten -
sion piece supplied into the socket in -
tegrated into the radiator grille and the
other end into a 220V socket for at least
6 hours before starting.
nB: you may notice an increase in fuel
consumption with this type of fuel.
fUeL T anK (2/3)
filling with fuel
Insert the nozzle to open valve B 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. Valve B and its sur-
round must remain clean.
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).
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 smell of
fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel 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 to keep
away from traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
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 any additives to the fuel,
you risk damaging the engine.

STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE (2/3)
Limited use
– When the engine is running, a ve -
hicle door is open and the card is
outside the vehicle (for example
when the driver gets out to open the
garage door): the engine continues
to run.
– When the engine is running, the ve-
hicle doors are closed and the card
is outside the vehicle (for example
when a passenger leaves the ve -
hicle and takes the RENAULT card
with them): the message “card not
detected” appears on the instrument
panel. The warning light flashes on
emergency card reader 3 and a beep
sounds when the vehicle is restarted
to warn you.
– The RENAULT card's operation
may be affected by interference
from nearby devices, such as exte -
rior installations or equipment oper -
ating on the same frequency as the
RENAULT card.
When you leave your vehi -
cle, especially if you have
your RENAULT card with
you, check that the engine
is completely switched off.
Hands-Free mode operating
