SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Precautions to be taken in winter
Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
To avoid faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully
charged,
– always keep the diesel tank rela-
tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.
Running out of fuel
You may start the engine normally after
refilling the fuel tank even if you have
completely run out of fuel, provided
that the battery is fully charged.
However, if after a few seconds and
several attempts the engine fails to
start, contact a RENAULT Dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such as
grass or leaves can come into con-
tact with the hot exhaust system.
