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 when traffic
conditions allow and switch off
the ignition,
To ensure that the fuel tank is not
filled with leaded petrol, the fuel
tank filler neck contains a restrictor
fitted with a foolproof 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
insert it fully before beginning to
fill the tank (risk of splash-back).
- 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.
- Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling
operation.
No
modifications
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).
