Renault Grand Scenic (2016 year). Manual — part 6

1.82

– E: minimum sensitivity
– F: maximum sensitivity
The higher the sensitivity, the quic-

ker the wipers will react and the

faster the wipe.
Note:

–

the rain sensor is only intended

as a driving aid. In the event of re-

duced visibility, the driver should

manually activate the wipers. In

foggy weather or during snow-

falls, wiping is not automatically

triggered and remains under the

driver’s control;

Do not try to lift the wiper blades.

They cannot remain detached from

the windscreen. To replace the

blades, refer to Section 5: “Wiper

blades”.
In freezing or snowy weather, clear

the windscreen (including the cen-

tral area located behind the inte-

rior rear-view mirror) and the rear

screen before starting the wipers

(risk of motor overheating).

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE

(3/4)

Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction of the au-

tomatic wiping, the wiper is set to inter-

mittent wiping. Contact an authorised

dealer.

The operation of the rain sensor can be

disturbed in the event of:

–

damaged wiper blades; a screen

of water or traces left by a blade in

the sensor’s detection zone may

increase the response time of the

automatic wiper, or increase the

wiping frequency;

–

a windscreen with any chip or

crack level with the sensor, or a

windscreen covered in dust, dirt,

insects, ice, the use of washing

wax and water-repellent chemi-

cals; the automatic wiping will

be less sensitive, or even unres-

ponsive.

C slow continuous wiping

D fast continuous wiping

Position C is accessible with the

ignition on. Positions B and D are

accessible only with the engine run-

ning.

Special note

When driving the vehicle, the wiping

speed slows down whenever the vehi-

cle stops. For example, fast wiping

speed will slow to normal wiping speed.

As soon as the vehicle moves off,

wiping will return to the speed originally

selected.

If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and

cancels the automatic function.

Precautions

–

In the event of ice, check whether the

blades are stuck to the windscreen

before operating the wiping mecha-

nism. If you activate the wipers while

the blades are stuck down with ice,

you may risk damaging both the

blade and the wiper motor.

–

Do not activate the wipers on a dry

screen. This will lead to the prema-

ture wear or damage to the blades.

In the event of obstacles present

on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice,

etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu-

ding the central area located behind

the interior rear-view mirror) and

the rear screen before starting the

wipers (risk of motor overheating).

If an object is preventing a blade

from moving, it may stop functio-

ning. Remove the obstacle and

reactivate the wiper using the wiper

stalk.

Before any action involving

the windscreen (washing

the vehicle, de-icing,

cleaning the windscreen,

etc.) return stalk 1 to position A

(stop).
Risk of injury and/or damage.

Windscreen washer

With the ignition on, pull stalk 1 then

release.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep

of the wipers, in addition to the winds-

creen washer.
A longer pull will trigger three sweeps

of the wipers followed, a few seconds

later, by a fourth, in addition to the

windscreen washer.

Note:
In temperatures below zero, the washer

liquid risks freezing to the windscreen,

thereby reducing visibility. Heat the

windscreen using the demister control

before cleaning.

Headlight washers

Headlights on

On equipped vehicles, hold stalk 1

pulled towards you for about 1 second,

and the headlight washers and winds-

creen washers will be activated at the

same time.

Note: to ensure the headlight washers

operate correctly in winter, remove

snow from the jet trims and de-ice the

jet trims using an aerosol de-icer.

You are recommended to regularly

remove dirt encrusted on the headlight

glass.

When the minimum windscreen washer

fluid level is reached, the headlight

washer system may be deprimed.

Fill the windscreen washer fluid and

then activate the windscreen washer,

with the engine running, to reprime

the system.

In the event of obstacles present

on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice,

etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu-

ding the central area located behind

the interior rear-view mirror) and

the rear screen before starting the

wipers (risk of motor overheating).
If an object is preventing a blade

from moving, it may stop functio-

ning. Remove the obstacle and

reactivate the wiper using the wiper

stalk.

Before any action on the

windscreen (washing the

vehicle, de-icing, cleaning

the windscreen, etc.) return

stalk 1 to position A (park).
Risk of injury and/or damage.

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in position A (park).

FUEL TANK

(1/3)

Useable fuel tank capacity:

60 litres approximately.
With the vehicle unlocked, to open the

compartment B, place your finger into

the recess C.
Valve A is integrated into the filler pipe.

For details on filling the fuel tank, refer

to the information on “Filling with fuel”.
To close it, press on the fuel filler flap by

hand, as far as it will go.

Fuel grade

Use a high-grade fuel that complies

with the legislation in force in each

country and which must conform to

the specifications given on the label on

cover B. Please refer to the information

on “Engine specifications” in Section 6.

Diesel versions

It is essential to use diesel fuel that

conforms with the information given on

the label inside cover B.

Petrol versions

It is essential to use unleaded petrol.

The octane rating (RON) must conform

to the specifications on the label inside

fuel filler flap B. Refer to the information

on “Engine specifications” in Section 6.

Never press valve A with your fingers.
Do not wash the filler area with a high-pressure washer.

Vehicles running on ethanol-

based fuel

It is essential to use unleaded petrol or

fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-

anol (E85).

In very cold conditions, it may be very

difficult or even impossible to start the

engine. To avoid this problem, use un-

leaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles,

use the heater integrated in the engine:

connect the special end of the exten-

sion piece supplied into the socket in-

tegrated into the radiator grille and the

other end into a 220V socket for at least

6 hours before starting.
Note: you may notice an increase in

fuel consumption with this type of fuel.

Do not mix even small

amounts of petrol (un-

leaded or E85) with diesel.

Do not use ethanol-based

fuel if your vehicle is not compatible

with this fuel.

Do not add additive to the fuel –

otherwise you risk damaging the

engine.

1.87

FUEL TANK

(2/3)

Filling with fuel

With the ignition off, insert the nozzle to

open valve A and insert it fully before

turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of

splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position through-

out the entire filling operation.

When the pump cuts out automatically

at the end of the filling procedure, a

maximum of two further filling attempts

may be made, as there must be suffi-

cient space in the fuel tank to allow for

expansion.

Make sure that no water enters the fuel

tank during filling. The valve A and its

surround must remain clean.

Petrol versions

Using leaded petrol will damage the

antipollution 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

foolproof system which only allows

the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be

used (at the pump).

Persistent smell of

fuel

If you notice a persistent

smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-

fic conditions allow and switch off

the ignition;

– switch on the hazard warning

lights and ask your passengers

to leave the vehicle and to keep

away from traffic;

– contact an approved Dealer.

Vehicle fitted with the Stop and

Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must

be stopped (and not on standby):

stop the engine by pressing the

engine stop button 1 (please refer

to the information on “Starting and

Stopping the engine” in Section 2).

Running out of fuel on diesel

versions

Vehicles with priming bulb 2

After a breakdown caused by com-

pletely running out of fuel, the system

must be reprimed before the engine is

restarted:

Fill the tank with at least 8 litres of

diesel fuel.

Press priming bulb 2 several times.
The engine can now be restarted.

If the engine does not start after several

attempts, contact an approved Dealer.

No modifications what-

soever are permitted on

any part of the fuel supply

system (electronic units,

wiring, fuel circuit, injectors, pro-

tective covers, etc.) as this may be

dangerous (unless undertaken by

qualified Network personnel).

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS

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.

The following operating conditions

should be avoided:
– 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, running out of fuel or

disconnected spark plugs resulting

in the engine misfiring or cutting out

when driving;

– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to

overheat, reducing its efficiency which

may irreparably damage it and cause

heat damage to the vehicle.

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

cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not

continue to try and start the engine, but

contact an approved dealer.
