ENVIRONMENT
Your vehicle has been designed with
the aim of caring for the
environment.
Manufacture:
RENAULT has manufactured your
vehicle to comply with the strictest
environmental standards.
Furthermore, RENAULT has
implemented a system for checking
all of the vehicle components.
Emissions:
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emission control system including a
catalytic converter, an oxygen
sensor and an active carbon filter
(the latter prevents vapour from the
petrol tank being released into the
open air).
Recycling:
RENAULT has used all its expertise
to reduce environmental impact as
far as possible at the end of the
service life of your vehicle. This vehicle is more than 95%
recyclable. To make recycling easier,
many innovations have been
updated in the design of the vehicle
and the materials used.
The vehicle contains many parts
made of recycled plastics or
renewable materials (wood, cotton,
natural rubber etc.).
Make your contribution towards
protection of the environment too.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
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 between oil changes.
However, contact your RENAULT
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.
Reading the oil level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
reading.
To be able to read the exact oil level
and make sure that the maximum
level has not been exceeded (risk of
engine damage), the dipstick must
be used.
In the following pages, see Engine
oil level: topping up/filling.
The instrument panel display only
shows a warning when the
minimum oil level has been reached.Minimum oil level warning on the
instrument panel
When ignition has been switched on
for approximately 30 seconds:
-
if the level is above the minimum
level, the display indicates “oil
level correct”: message 1.
To gain a more precise indication
of the level, press the trip mileage
reset button or the information
scroll button on the trip computer. The squares which appear on the
display indicate the level. They
disappear as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by dashes.
To advance to trip computer
reading, press the button again.
-
if the level is at the minimum
level: the message “top up oil
level” appears on the display; the
squares are replaced by dashes
(message 2) and the warning light
is illuminated on the
instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon
as possible.
Message 1
Level

minimum
Message 2
Minimum
level
The display only shows a
warning when the
minimum level has been
reached, not when the
maximum has been exceeded.
This can only be detected with
the dipstick.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL (continued)
- Unscrew cap 1.
- top-up the level (for information, the capacity between the minimum
and maximum readings on the
dipstick 2is 1.5-2 litres depending
on the engine);
- wait for approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to drain into the
engine;
- check the level using the dipstick 2
(as explained above);
Do not exceed the Maximumlevel
and do not forget to refit cap 1.
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be off
and cold (for instance, before the
engine is started up for the first time
in the day).
Engine oil grade
Refer to the warranty and servicing
booklet for your vehicle for
information regarding which grade
of oil to use.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
