may be obscured. You
should make other road users aware
of your vehicle by using a warning
triangle or other equipment speci-
fied by the road traffic regulations of
the country you are driving in.

Vehicles with automatic wiper
function
With the engine running, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, the
system detects water on the wind-
screen and triggers the wipers at a
suitable wiping speed. It is possi-
ble to change the triggering thresh-
old and the time sweeps by turning
ring 2:
– E: minimum sensitivity
– F: maximum sensitivity
NB: in foggy weather or during
snowfalls, the wiping is not automati-
cally triggered and remains under
the driver’s control.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.
Special note
When driving,
the wiping speed slows
down whenever the vehicle stops. The
speed will change from fast wiping
speed to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected. If stalk 1 is operated, it over-
rides and cancels the automatic func-
tion.
With the ignition on,
move stalk 1
– A park.
– B intermittent wiping.
The wipers will pause for several
seconds between sweeps. It is
possible to change the time be-
tween sweeps by turning ring 2.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.

In freezing or snowy weather, ensure
they are not stuck to the windscreen
(including the central area located
behind the interior rear-view mirror)
and the rear screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor overheat-
ing).
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.
Note:
There is a maintenance position for re-
placing wiper blades.
With the ignition on and the engine
off, lower windscreen wiper stalk 1 fully

Fuel grade
Use a high-grade fuel that complies
with the legislation in force in each
country and which must comply with
the specifications given on the label
on the cover A. Please refer to the in-
formation on “Engine specifications” in
Section 6.
Diesel version
Only use diesel fuel which complies
with the information on the label located
inside the cover A.
Useful capacity of fuel tank: Approx.
80 litres
Open the front left door to open the
cover A.
When filling, use the cap holder 1 on
the cover A to secure the cap 2.
FUEL TANK (1/3)
After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.
Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical
to the original cap. Contact an ap-
proved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add additive to the fuel –
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.

Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle
and insert it fully before turning it on to
fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position through-
out the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi-
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. The cover A and its
surround must remain clean.
FUEL TANK (2/3)
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine (please refer to the
information on “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent
fuel odour you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf- fic conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear
of the traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.

1.114
No modifications what-
soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply
system (electronic units,
wiring, fuel circuit, injectors, pro-
tective covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (unless undertaken by
qualified Network personnel).
FUEL TANK (3/3)
Running out of fuel on diesel
versions
Vehicles with key/remote control
– Put the ignition key in “On” posi- tion M (please see the information on
the “Ignition switch” in Section 2) and
wait for a few minutes before start-
ing, to enable the fuel circuit to be
primed;
– turn the key to position D . If the
engine does not start, repeat the pro-
cedure.
Vehicles with RENAULT card
Insert the RENAULT card into the 3
card reader. Press the start button 4
without pressing any of the pedals. Wait
a few minutes before starting. This will
enable the fuel circuit to be primed. If
the engine does not start, repeat the
procedure.
The engine may be hot
when working in close prox-
imity. In addition, the engine
cooling fan may come on at
any moment.
Risk of injury.

Precautions for use
Handle additives with care. They can
damage clothes, shoes, bodywork
components etc.
If the additive overflows, or contami-
nates any paintwork, clean the affected
area quickly with a damp cloth.
Do not top up the additive when the
temperature is below 0°C.
Always read the information on the ad-
ditive can.
Please ensure that you comply with the
legislation of your country.
Operating principle
The use of additives reduces exhaust
emissions by transforming the pollu-
tants into water vapour and nitrogen.
Filling
Capacity of the fuel tank: 20 litres
ap-
proximately.
Open the front left door to open the
cover A. Unscrew the cap 1.
Additive quality
Use the additive specified on the label
affixed to the tank flap.
ADDITIVE TANK (1/3)
After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.
Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical to
the original cap. Contact an appro-
ved Dealer.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.

The additive must not come
into contact with eyes or
skin. If it does, wash the af-
fected area with plenty of
cold water. If necessary, consult a
doctor.
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine (please refer to the
information on “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).No work whatsoever is per-
mitted on any part of the
system.
To prevent damage, only
