RUNNING IN

Petrol version

For the first 600 miles (1,000 km), do

not exceed 78 mph (130 km/h) in the

highest gear, or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.
You may only expect top performance

from your vehicle after approximately

1,800 miles (3,000 km).
Service intervals: refer to the

Maintenance Document for your vehi-

cle.

do not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in

the highest gear, or 2,500 rpm. After

completing this mileage you may drive

faster, although you may only expect

top performance after approximately

3,600 miles (6,000 km).
During the running in period, do not ac-

celerate hard while the engine is still

cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
Service intervals: refer to the

Maintenance Document for your vehi-

cle.

Starting the engine

Petrol versions

–

Activate the starter without ac-

celerating;

–

release the key as soon as the

engine starts.

É

Diesel versions

–

Turn the ignition key to the

“Ignition on” position 2, and hold

this position until the engine pre-

heating light goes off;

–

turn the key to starter position 3

without depressing the accel-

erator pedal;

–

Special note: if starting the engine

when the outdoor temperature is very

low (below -10°C): hold down the clutch

pedal until the engine starts.

Never start your vehicle

while freewheeling on a

gradient. Risk of non-ac-

tivation of power-assisted

steering.
There is a risk of accidents.

Never switch off the igni-

tion before the vehicle has

stopped completely. Once

the engine has stopped, the

brake servo, power-assisted steer-

ing, etc. and the passive safety de-

vices such as air bags and preten-

sioners will no longer operate.

Driver’s responsibility

when parking or stopping

the vehicle
Never leave an animal,

child or adult who is not self-suffi-

cient alone in your vehicle, even for

a short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves

or to others by starting the engine,

activating equipment such as the

electric windows or locking the

doors, for example.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,

please remember that the tempera-

ture inside the passenger compart-

ment increases very quickly.

tional while the engine is stopped.

STOP AND START FUNCTION

(1/4)

This system enables a reduced fuel

consumption and lower greenhouse

gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically

when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the

and the brake pedal released.

If the engine is put in

standby, the electronic par-

king brake (depending on

the vehicle) is not applied

automatically.

Engine on standby - braking

assistance is no longer ope-

rational.

Special cases for vehicles

with a RENAULT card

With the engine on standby (traffic jam,

traffic lights, etc.), if the driver unfas-

tens the seat belt and opens the driv-

er’s door, or gets out of the seat, the

ignition is switched off.
The assisted parking brake is applied

automatically.
To restart and reactivate the Stop and

Start system, start the engine (please

refer to “Starting, stopping the engine”

in Section 2).

Special cases of vehicles

tion. The message “Stop & Start deac-

tivated” will appear on the instrument

panel and the integrated warning light 2

on the switch will light up.

each time the vehicle is started (see

“Stop and Start function” in Section 2).

Operating faults

When the message “Check Stop &

Start” appears on the instrument panel

and the integrated warning light 2 lights

up on the switch 1, the system is deac-

tivated.

Please consult an authorised dealer.

Before getting out of the

vehicle, you must switch

off the ignition (please see

section on “Starting, stop-

ping the engine” in section 2).

Special feature of vehicles with

a key: for some of these condi-

tions the automatic restarting of the

engine is inhibited if a front door is

open.

2.14

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS

The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low

fuel level warning light is lit;

– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives

which are not approved.

Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of

fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-

sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-

ting out when driving;

– loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con-

verter to overheat and thus reduce its

efficiency, or damage it irreparably

and cause heat damage to the vehi-

cle.

If you notice any of the above operating

faults, have the necessary repairs car-

ried out as soon as possible by an ap-

proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-

larly taking your vehicle to an approved

Dealer at the intervals specified in the

Maintenance document.

Starting problems

To avoid damaging the catalytic con-

verter, do not keep trying to start the

engine (using the start button, or by

pushing or towing the vehicle) without

having identified and corrected the

starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not

keep trying to start the engine, but con-

tact an approved 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.

2.15

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS

Diesel engine speed

Diesel engines are fitted with injection

equipment which prevents the engine

speed being exceeded irrespective of

the gear selected.
If the message “Check antipollution

system” is displayed along with warn-

ing lights

Ä

and

©

, consult an

authorised dealer immediately.
When driving, depending on the fuel

grade used, it is possible that white

smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter

being cleaned automatically, and does

not affect the way the vehicle runs.

Running out of fuel

If the tank has been completely

drained, the system must be reprimed

after the tank is refilled: see information

on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-

starting the engine.

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

contact with the hot exhaust system.

Precautions to be taken in

winter

To avoid any 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.
