SPECIAL POINTS - DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines have an injection
system with a mechanical governor
which prevents overrevving of the
engine regardless of the gear engaged.
Running out of fuel
After filling the tank, if you have run
completely out of fuel, on condition
that the battery is fully charged, the
engine may be started normally.
If, after a few seconds, after several
attempts, the engine will not start,
call for the assistance of a Renault
Dealer.
Winter precautions
To avoid any problems in icy
conditions:
• ensure your battery is always well
charged.
• ensure the fuel level in the tank
never drops too low to avoid
condensation forming at the
bottom of the tank.
Vehicles fitted with a diesel fuel
heater
This allows diesel fuel to be used
with no additives down to –18°C,
or, in the case of a vehicle used
regularly over short distances
(engine cold) down to –5°C.
