Renault Clio: Special features of petrol versions
The following operating conditions:
- driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit;
- using leaded petrol;
- using fuel or lubrication additives which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
- faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs resulting in the engine misfiring or cutting out when driving;
- loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic converter to overheat and thus reduce its efficiency, or damage it irreparably and cause heat damage to the vehicle.
If you notice any of the above operating faults, have the necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible by an approved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regularly taking your vehicle to an approved Dealer at the intervals specified in the Maintenance document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter, do not keep trying to start the engine (using the start button, or by pushing or towing the vehicle) without having identified and corrected the starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not keep trying to start the engine, but contact an approved 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 the hot exhaust system. |
