Renault Clio: Special features of diesel versions
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection equipment which prevents the engine speed being exceeded irrespective of the gear selected.
If the message “CHECK ANTIPOLLUTION
SYSTEM” is displayed
along with warning lights 
and
, consult an authorised dealer
immediately.
When driving, depending on the fuel grade used, it is possible that white smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter being cleaned automatically, and does not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely drained, the system must be reprimed after the tank is refilled: see information on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before restarting the engine.
Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
- ensure that the battery is always fully charged,
- always keep the diesel tank relatively full to avoid water vapour condensing in it and accumulating at the bottom of the tank.
| 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 the hot exhaust system. |
