SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS

The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit up,
– using leaded petrol,
– using fuel or lubrication addi-
tives which are not approved by
RENAULT.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
spark plug disconnected resulting in
engine misfiring and hesitation when
driving,
– loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con-
verter to overheat and thus reduce its
efficiency, or damage it irreparably
and cause heat damage to the vehi-
cle.
If you notice any of the above operat-
ing faults, have the necessary repairs
carried out as soon as possible by your
RENAULT Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regularly
taking your vehicle to your RENAULT
Dealer at the intervals specified in your
Maintenance Service Booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter, do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact a RENAULT Dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such as
grass or leaves can come into con-
tact with the hot exhaust system.
