to the relevant standards in force in  
each country.

specifications.  
Diesel versions

flap A.

approximately 13 gallons

FUEL TANK (continued)  
Filling with fuel  
Petrol versions  
Using leaded petrol will damage the  
anti-pollution devices and may lead  
to a loss of warranty.  
Filling with fuel (continued)  
Petrol and diesel versions  
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  
If you notice a persistent fuel odour  
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.  
To ensure that the fuel tank is not  
filled with leaded petrol, the fuel  
tank filler neck contains a restrictor  
fitted with a foolproofing system  
which only allows the nozzle for  
unleaded petrol to be used (at the  
pump).  
- Insert the nozzle so that the metal  
valve is pushed back and then  
fully insert it before beginning to  
fill the tank (risk of splash-back).  
- Keep the nozzle in this position  
throughout the entire filling  
operation.  
No operations whatsoever  
are permitted on any part  
of the fuel supply system  
(computers, wiring, fuel  
circuit, injector, protection covers,  
etc.) as this may be dangerous  
(such work must be undertaken by  
qualified RENAULT Network  
personnel).
