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).
