With the ignition switched on and the engine not running ,
when the message “Mileage before next service” is displayed,
press button 2 or 3 for around 5 seconds to display the mile-
age before the next service (distance or time remaining before
the next service). When the distance value approaches its limit,
there are several possible scenarios:
– distance/time remaining less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or
one month : the message “Service due in” is displayed ac-
companied by the nearest term (distance or time);
– distance equal to 0 miles or service date reached: the
message “service vehicle” is displayed accompanied by the

Depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies accord\
ing to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed ,
door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idling speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change can
therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance t\
ravelled.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before the next service, press and hold button 2 or 3 for approximately 10 seconds until the
display shows the mileage before service without flashing.
NB: if a service is performed without changing the engine oil, only the mi\
leage before the next service should be reset. In the
event of an oil change, both the distance before the next service and th\
e next oil change should be reset.

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).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.
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 signature.Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
a factory which complies with a policy
to reduce the environmental impact
on the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and energy consumption, visual
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste).

– remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick C, screw the cap in as
far as it will go);
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km)
after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.

In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
Reading the oil levelThe oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is at
its minimum.
Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must
be switched off by pressing
the engine stop button (please see
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill
level B be exceeded: risk of damage
to the engine and catalytic con-
verter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
