SPECIAL POINTS RELATING TO DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an
injection pump incorporating a
mechanical governor which
prevents overrevving of the engine
irrespective of the gear in use.
Lack of fuel
If the fuel tank has been drained
dry, you may start the engine
normally after refilling the fuel tank
provided that the battery is
well-charged. Refer to the
information on the fuel tank in
section 1 for the special instructions
on diesel versions equipped with
the common rail (high pressure)
engine.
However, if after a few seconds and
several attempts the engine fails to
start, contact a Renault Dealer.
Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any problems in icy
weather:
• Ensure the battery is always fully
charged.
• Always keep the fuel tank
relatively full to avoid water
vapour condensing in it and
accumulating at the bottom of the
tank.
Vehicles with diesel fuel heater
This equipment enables diesel fuel
to be used without an additive
down to –18°C or, if the vehicle is
used regularly for short journeys
(cold engine), down to –5°C.
