FUEL TANK
Useful capacity of tank: 77 litres
(17 gallons) approx.
Use notch 1 to open the flap.
The flap is electrically locked at the
same time as the doors and tailgate
when operating the remote control
unit.
During filling, hang the cap on hook
2.
Fuel grade
Petrol version
Use unleaded petrol only.
Using leaded petrol will damage the
anti-pollution devices and may lead
to a loss of warranty.
To ensure the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank
filler neck contains a restrictor
fitted with a valve which only
allows unleaded petrol nozzles to
be used (at the pump).
Diesel version
Usedieselenginefuel(DERV)only.
Make sure that no water
accidentally enters the fuel tank
during filling. The fuel filler cap
and neck must be clean and
dust-free. The diesel fuel must be
high grade.
In the event of the fuel tank running
dry, refer to the Repriming the
diesel fuel circuits section.
Filling with fuel
- Insert the nozzle into the filler
neck up to the second notch and
start the automatic filling facility.
- A maximum of two filling
operations may be made after the
fuel feed has switched off
automatically for the first time.
The fuel tank is designed to allow
room for expansion and this must
be retained.
Fuel filler cap: this is of a
special type. If you have
to replace it, make sure
the new cap is of the
same type. Consult your Renault
Dealer.
Never handle the cap near a
source of heat or flame.
