SPECIAL POINTS RELATING TO PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat and thus reduce its
efficiency or even destroy it and
cause heat damage to the vehicle:
• Driving for a long time with the
low fuel level warning light lit;
• Faulty ignition, running out of
fuel or spark plug disconnected
occurring as engine misfire and
snatches when driving;
• Using leaded petrol;
• Using lubrication additives or
fuel which is not approved by
Renault;
• Loss of power;
• The fitting of non-recognised
security systems which have been
integrated into the fuel injection
system for immobilisation
purposes;
• Bump starting the vehicle, as
unburnt petrol in the system may
affect the catalyst if the car does
not start quickly. However, jump
starting with jump leads across
the battery is permissible;
If you note any of the above faults,
have the necessary repairs carried
out as soon as possible by your
Renault Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by
taking your vehicle regularly to
your Renault Dealer at the intervals
specified in your servicing booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic
converter, do not keep trying to
start the engine (using the ignition
key, or by pushing or pulling the
vehicle) without having identified
and corrected the starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do
not persist in attempting to start the
engine. Call a Renault Dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible
substances or materials
such as grass or leaves can come
into contact with a hot exhaust
system.
