SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with
injection
equipment
which
prevents the engine speed from
being exceeded
irrespective of the
gear selected.
Running out of fuel
If the
fuel tank has been drained
completely
, you may start the
engine normally after refilling the
fuel tank provided that the battery is
well charged.
However, if after a few seconds and
several attempts the engine fails to
start, contact a RENAULT Dealer.
Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any fault in frosty weather:
• ensure that your battery is always
well charged;
• Always
keep
the
fuel
tank
relatively full to avoid water
vapour condensing in it and
accumulating at the bottom of the
tank.
Vehicles fitted with diesel fuel
heater
This equipment enables diesel fuel
to be used
with no additives up to
–18°C
or, if the vehicle is used
regularly over short distances (cold
engine),
up to –5°C
.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where
combustible
substances
or
materials
such as grass or leaves can come
into contact with a hot exhaust
system.
