Warning light 1 comes on to
indicate a filter saturation risk.
To clean the particle filter, we
recommend that you drive the
vehicle as soon as possible until the
warning light goes out, at an average
speed of 48 mph (80 km/h)
provided that traffic conditions and
the speed limit allow it.
As an indication, cleaning should
last up to 20 minutes in this case.
If the
indicator light comes
on, accompanied by the message
"Check emission control", consult
your RENAULT Dealer straight
