Trip mileage recorder reset
button
To reset the trip mileage recorder,
select the Trip mileage recorder
display, then press key 2until the
recorder is reset.
Resetting of the journey
parameters
With one of the trip parameters
selected on the display, press
button 2 until the display is reset.
Interpreting some of the values
displayed after resetting
The values showing average fuel
consumption, range and average
speed will become more stable and
reliable the further you travel since
the last time the reset button was
pressed.
For the first few miles after pressing
the reset button you may notice:
 that the range increases as you
travel.
This is normal; average fuel
consumption may decrease when:
- the vehicle stops accelerating,
- the engine reaches its operating temperature (engine cold when
reset button pressed),
- when you drive from a built up area on to the open road.  that the average fuel consumption
increases when the vehicle is
stationary with the engine idling.
This is normal since the computer
takes account of fuel used during
idling.
Automatic resetting of the
journey parameters
A reset is automatic when the
maximum value for any of the
parameters is exceeded.

TRIP COMPUTER AND WARNING SYSTEM (continued)
Examples of selections Interpreting the display selectedc) Mileage before oil change/serviceDistance before the next service.
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
for 15 seconds).
 mileage before service equal to 0 miles/km or date of service reached.
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.

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.
