Getting to know your vehicle

Fuel quality

~1min read

Use good-quality fuel that complies with the standards in force in the country and strictly follows the instructions on the label inside fuel filler flap A. See the “Engine technical data” section in chapter 6.

Diesel engine version

Always use diesel fuel that complies with the instructions on the label inside fuel filler flap A.

The fuel filler cap has a specific design. If it needs to be replaced, make sure the replacement cap is identical to the original cap. Contact an Authorised Renault Dealer. Do not bring the fuel filler cap close to naked flames or heat sources.

Do not clean the area around the fuel filler with high-pressure washing equipment.

Petrol engine version

Always use unleaded petrol.

The octane rating (RON) must match the information on the label on fuel filler flap A. See the “Engine technical data” section in chapter 6.

Do not mix petrol (unleaded or E85) with diesel fuel, even in small quantities. Do not use ethanol-based fuel unless the vehicle is designed for it.

Do not use fuel additives, as they may damage the engine.
