DIESEL VERSIONS WITH PARTICLE FILTER

1
The 'Regenerate catalytic converter'
message appears on display 1 to indi-
cate that the filter may be clogged.
To clean the particle filter after the mes-
sage has appeared, drive at an average
speed of 36 mph (60 km/h) (24 mph
(40 km/h) for 1.5 dCi engine) for the next
60 miles (100 km), subject to traffic condi-
tions and speed limits, until the warning
light goes out. If the vehicle is stopped
before the warning light disappears you
will have to restart the process from the
beginning.

As a guide, this type of cleaning should
take up to 20 minutes.
If the message 'Check emission control'
is displayed on the
ment panel accompanied by the
ú
warning light; consult your
RENAULT Dealer straight away.
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.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
instru- This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
