REAR SCREEN WASH/WIPE

(2/2)

In the event of obstacles present on the

rear window (dirt, snow, etc.), the wiper

will try to sweep away all the obstacles.

If an obstacle prevents the blade from

moving, it can be stopped. Remove the

obstacle, wait for around 30 seconds

and reactivate the wiper using the wiper

stalk.

Precautions
–

In the event of ice, check whether

the blades are stuck to the wind-

screen before operating the wiping

mechanism. If you activate the wiper

while the blade is blocked by ice, you

risk damaging both the blade and the

wiping motor.

–

Do not activate the wipers on a dry

screen. This will lead to premature

wear or damage to the blades.

Activation/deactivation of the rear

screen wiper
Engaging reverse gear triggers inter-

mittent wiping (if the front wipers are in

operation). If your vehicle is fitted with

a vehicle settings customisation menu,

you can opt to activate or deactivate

this function. To do this, refer to the in-

formation on the “Vehicle settings cus-

tomisation menu” in Section 1; “Rear

wiping in reverse gear”.
For vehicles not fitted with a settings

customisation menu, you can have this

function deactivated by an authorised

dealer.

p

Rear screen wash/wipe

With the ignition on, push and

hold stalk 1, then release.
A longer action will trigger three sweeps

of the wipers followed, a few seconds

later, by a fourth, in addition to the wind-

screen washer.

Fuel grade

Use a high-grade fuel that complies

with the legislation in force in each

country and which must comply with

the specifications given on the label

on the cover 1. Please refer to the in-

formation on “Engine specifications” in

Section 6.

Diesel versions

Only use diesel fuel which complies

with the information on the label located

inside the cover 1.

Petrol versions

It is essential to use unleaded petrol.

The octane rating (RON) must comply

with the information given on the label

on the cover 1. Refer to Section 6 for

information on “Engine specifications”.

FUEL TANK

(1/3)

Useable fuel tank capacity:

– Approximately 11.22 gallons

(51 litres) for the petrol versions;

– Approximately 11.44 gallons

(52 litres) for the diesel versions

with two-wheel steering mode;

– Approximately 10.34 gallons

(47 litres) for the diesel versions

with four-wheel steering mode.

With the vehicle unlocked, to open

cover 1, press area A then release. The

cover 1 opens.

Valve 2 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.

Never press valve 2 with

your fingers.
Do not wash the filler

area with a high-pressure

washer.

Do not mix even small amounts of petrol (unleaded 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.

FUEL TANK

(2/3)

Filling with fuel

Insert the nozzle to open the valve 2

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 2 and its

surround must remain clean.

2

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 consists of a restrictor fitted with

a safety system which only allows

a nozzle for unleaded petrol to be

used (at the pump).

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 (Please See

“Starting, stopping the engine” in

Section 2).

1.101

Vehicles with RENAULT card
With the card RENAULT in the pas-

senger compartment, press the start

button 3 without pressing any of the

pedals. Wait a few minutes before start-

ing. This will enable the fuel circuit to

be primed. If the engine does not start,

repeat the procedure.
If the engine does not start after several

attempts, please contact an authorised

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).

engine does not start, repeat the pro-

cedure.

– If the engine does not start after sev-

eral attempts, please contact an au-

– 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;
