TRIP COMPUTER AND WARNING SYSTEM: journey parameters (3/4)
Examples of selectionsInterpreting the display selected
c) Mileage before service Distance remaining until the next service (displayed in kilometres),
then when the service nears, several scenarios are possible:
– distance/time less than 1,800 miles (3,000 km) or two months:
the message “SERVICE DUE ” is displayed;
– mileage before service equal to 0 miles (0 km) or service date
reached: the message “SERVICE PROMPTLY” is displayed
when the selected display is “mileage before service”, along
with the symbol
9 and the warning light ©.
The vehicle requires a service as soon as possible.
SERVICE IN
137.7 KM
Note: depending on the vehicle, the mileage before service changes according \
to the driving style (frequent driving at low
speeds, door-to-door, prolonged periods at idle speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next service c
an
therefore, in some cases, be less than the actual distance remaining.
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 comp\
lies with the recommendations in the Maintenance
Document.
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 features: to reset the mileage before service value, go to the service page (see\
image above) and press and hold one
of the display’s reset buttons for at least 10 seconds until the mileage before service\
value is displayed continuously. Refer to
the information on the “Trip computer and warning system: general information” in Section 2.

Ignition on position M
The ignition is switched on:
– petrol version: you can start the ve-
hicle;
– diesel version: the engine is pre-
heating.
Start position D
If the engine fails to start at the first
attempt, the key must be turned back
before the starter can be activated
again. Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Note: on diesel versions, several sec-
onds may pass between turning the
key and the engine starting to allow for
engine preheating.
Ignition switch
Stop and steering lock
position St
To lock: remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until the steering column
locks.
To unlock: turn the key and the steering
wheel slightly.
Accessories position A
When the ignition is switched off, any
accessories (radio, etc.) will continue to
function.
Running in
Petrol version
For the first 600 miles (1,000 km) do
not exceed 54 mph (90 km/h) in the
highest gear.
After 600 miles (1,000 km) , you can
use your vehicle normally. However,
it is only after running 1,800 miles
(3,000 km) that you can expect full per-
formance.
Service intervals: refer to the
Maintenance Document for the vehicle.
Diesel version
For the first 900 miles (1,500 km), do
not exceed 54 mph (90 km/h). After
completing this mileage you may
drive faster, however, it is only after
3600 miles (6,000 km) have been cov-
ered that you may reasonably expect
full performance.
During the running in period, do not ac-
celerate hard while the engine is still
cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
Service intervals: refer to the
Maintenance Document for the vehicle.
RUNNING IN/IGNITION SWITCH
In the “Accessories” or “On” posi-
tion, a system may automatically
switch off your vehicle’s accessories
depending on the battery charge, to
prevent it from discharging com-
pletely.

2.9
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
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
contact with the hot exhaust system.
The following operating conditions
should be avoided:
– 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, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs resulting
in the engine misfiring or cutting out
when driving;
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. 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 Document.
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
cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.

2.15
MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE
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 repro-
cessed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufactu-
rer is actively striving to reduce pollu-
tant 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 maintai-
ned and used correctly.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 chec-
ked by an approved Dealer, in accor-
dance 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
– Air filter, diesel filter: a choked el-
ement will reduce efficiency. It must
be replaced.
– Idle speed: this does not require ad- justment.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic subs-
tances may be released into the atmos-
phere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the ins-
trument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an approved Dealer as soon as pos-
sible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Refer to the information on
«Additive tank» in Section 1.

2.16
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).

3.15
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions (1/2)
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in town)
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
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.
Advice on use
In some situations (air conditioning off,
air recirculation activated, ventilation
speed at zero or low etc.), you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions (2/2)
The refrigerant fluid circuit contains
fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Depending on the vehicle, you will find
the following information on label A af-
fixed inside the engine compartment.
The presence and location of the infor-
mation on label A depends on the ve-
hicle.
AAA
Do not open the refrigerant
fluid circuit. The fluid may
damage eyes or skin.
Before carrying out any
work in the engine com-
partment, the engine must
