There are several scenarios:
 remaining mileage less than 900 miles (1,500 km)or next service due within
two months. The SERVICE DUE message is displayed along with the
Ê
symbol on the trip computer (while Mileage before service is displayed,\
or

The message “SERVICE DUE” is displayed when the “mileage before oil
change” display is selected accompanied by the trip computer symbol
Ê
flashing continuously across all of the trip computer pages.
Resetting the display after service in accordance with the maintenance
schedule
The mileage before oil change/service must only be reset after a service\
in
accordance with the recommendations in the Warranty and Services booklet.
If you decide to change the oil more frequently, do not reset this data each
time the oil is changed. This prevents the replacement interval from bei\
ng
exceeded for other parts included in the maintenance schedule.
To reset the service distance display, press the reset button for about
10 seconds until the fixed service distance display appears.

ADVICE ON FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to
respect anti-pollution standards
may 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 manufacturer may alter your
vehicle so that it no longer complies
with anti-pollution standards.
Have your vehicle checked and
adjusted by your RENAULT Dealer
in accordance with the instructions
in the vehicle’s Warranty and
Services booklet.
Your RENAULT Dealer has all the
equipment necessary for ensuring
that your vehicle is maintained to its
original standard.
Engine adjustments
• ignition: this does not require
adjustment.
plugs: for optimum fuel
economy, 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 your Renault
Dealer for this information.
this does not require
adjustment.
A clogged
cartridge hinders performance and
must be replaced.
RENAULT is actively striving to
reduce pollutant exhaust gas
emissions and to save energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings,
your RENAULT conforms to current
anti-pollution standards. Technical
design, however, cannot achieve all.
The fuel consumption of your
vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Make sure that your
vehicle is maintained and used
correctly.
