FUEL TANK
(continued)
Fuel grade
Use the fuel which corresponds to
the grade defined by the standards
of the country you are in.
Refer to “Engine specifications”.
Any
operation
on
or
modification to the fuel
supply system (computers,
wiring,
fuel
circuit,
injector, protective covers...) is
strictly forbidden due to the
safety risks it may entail (except
for
qualified
staff
from
the
Renault network).
Filling with fuel
Only use
unleaded
fuel.
Using leaded petrol will damage the
anti-pollution system and may lead
to a loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not
filled with leaded petrol, the fuel
tank filler neck contains a restrictor
fitted with a valve which
only
allows the nozzle for unleaded
petrol to be used
(at the petrol
pump).
- Insert the nozzle
as far as it will go
so as to open the valve.
- Start to fill the tank with fuel and
keep the nozzle in this position
throughout
the
entire
filling
operation.
No
more
than
two
filling
operations may be made after the
fuel
feed
has
switched
off
automatically for the first time
because there must be sufficient
space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
Persistent fuel odour
Your vehicle has a pressurised fuel
supply circuit. If a persistent fuel
odour occurs you should:
•stop
the
vehicle
if
traffic
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;
•do not operate on or restart the
vehicle
before
it
has
been
inspected by qualified staff from
the Renault network.
