Persistent fuel odour  
Your vehicle has a pressurised fuel  
supply circuit. If a persistent fuel  
odour appears 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;  
A
maximum of two filling  
operations may be made after the  
fuel feed has switched off  
automatically for the first time. The  
fuel tank is designed to allow room  
for expansion and this must be  
retained.  
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).  
not operate on or restart the vehicle  
before it has been inspected by  
qualified staff from the Renault  
network.  
- 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.  
Any operation on, or  
modification to, the fuel  
supply system (computers,  
wiring,  
fuel  
circuit,  
injector, protective covers...) is  
strictly forbidden (except for  
qualified staff from the Renault  
network) due to the safety risks it  
may entail.
