FUEL TANK
(continued)
Filling with fuel
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system 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 the nozzle
for unleaded petrol to be used (at the
pump).
– Insert the nozzle as far as it will go
so that the valve is opened.
– Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling opera-
tion.

Filling up with fuel
(continued)
Petrol and diesel versions
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.
No modifications what-
soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply
system (computers, wiring,
fuel circuit, injector, protection
covers, etc.) as this may be danger-
ous (such work must be undertaken
by qualified RENAULT Network per-
sonnel).
Persistent smell of fuel
If you notice a persistent smell of fuel
you should:
– stop the vehicle if traffic 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
the traffic;
– refrain from working on or restart-
ing the vehicle before it has been
inspected by qualified staff from the
RENAULT Network.
