Renault Kadjar (2018 year). Manual - part 7

1.98

Filling

Capacity of the fuel tank: 3.52 gal

(16 litres) approximately.
With the ignition switched off, open the

cover A, then unscrew the cap 1.
Note: Ammonium hydroxide vapour

may escape from the cap opening

when the tank temperature is high.

Please ensure that you comply with the

legislation of your country.
It is important to remember that failure

to respect regulations in force could

lead to legal action being taken against

the vehicle owner.

Operating principle

The reagent is intended for diesel en-

gines fitted with the SCR (selective cat-

alytic reduction) system.

The use of reagents reduces exhaust

emissions by transforming the pollut-

ants into water vapour and nitrogen.

Reagent quality

Use only reagents which conform

to standard ISO 22241 and in accord-

ance with the mark on the tank filler

cap.

REAGENT TANK

(1/4)

Fuel filler cap: this is spe-

cific.
If you have to replace it,

make sure it is identical

to the original cap. Contact an ap-

proved Dealer. Do not wash the filler

area with a high pressure washer.

Vehicle fitted with the Stop and

Start function

To fill up with reagent, the engine

must be stopped (and not on

standby): stop the engine (please

see “Starting, stopping the engine”

in Section 2).

If the “XXX MILES (XXX

KM) Failure Top up AdBlue”

warning message appears,

fill the reagent tank and

refer to the filling instructions.
Risk of immobilisation of the ve-

hicle.

1.99

In extreme cold weather conditions
Fill the reagent tank as soon as pos-

sible when the warning light



and the message “Top up AdBlue

before 1200 km” are displayed.
The reagent fluid freezes below about

-10°C.
In these conditions, do not attempt fill-

ing when the fluid is frozen. In the event

of needing to top up or fill the tank

with reagent (



on), park the ve-

hicle in a hotter location if possible so

that the reagent becomes liquid again.

Otherwise, have a qualified profes-

sional top up or fill up with reagent fluid.

Precautions for use

When filling, handle the reagent care-

fully.
They can damage clothes, shoes,

bodywork components etc.
If the reagent overflows, or contami-

nates any paintwork, clean the affected

area quickly with plenty of cold water

and a soft cloth.
Note: If the reagent crystallises, use a

soft sponge.

The reagent must not come

into contact with eyes or

skin. If it does, wash the af-

fected area with plenty of

cold water. If necessary, consult a

doctor.

REAGENT TANK

(2/4)

No work whatsoever is

permitted on any part of

the system. To prevent

damage, only qualified per-

sonnel from our network may work

on the system.

After filling the reagent tank, check

that the cap and cover are closed,

start the engine and WAIT 10 sec-

onds with the vehicle stationary,

engine running before setting off

again.

If this operation is not carried out,

the filling of the tank will not be

taken into account automatically

until after several dozens of minutes

of driving.

The message “--- Top up AdBlue”

and/or the warning lights will con-

tinue to appear until the filling has

been registered by the system.

For the first 600 miles (1,000 km), do

not exceed 78 mph (130 km/h) in the

highest gear, or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.
You may only expect top performance

from your vehicle after approximately

1,800 miles (3,000 km).
Service intervals: refer to the

Maintenance Document for your vehi-

cle.

celerate hard while the engine is still

cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
Service intervals: refer to the

Maintenance Document for your vehi-

cle.

Starting the engine

Petrol versions

–

Activate the starter without ac-

celerating;

–

release the key as soon as the

engine starts.

Diesel versions

–

Turn the ignition key to the

“Ignition on” position M, and hold

this position until the engine pre-

heating light goes off;

tion before the vehicle has

stopped completely. Once

the engine has stopped, the

brake servo, power-assisted steer-

ing, etc. and the passive safety de-

vices such as air bags and preten-

sioners will no longer operate.

Driver’s responsibility

when parking or stopping

the vehicle
Never leave an animal,

child or adult who is not self-suffi-

cient alone in your vehicle, even for

a short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves

or to others by starting the engine,

activating equipment such as the

electric windows or locking the

doors, for example.

pressed;

and

– the speed is zero for around

1 second.

The engine remains on standby if posi-

tion P is selected, or if position N is se-

lected with the handbrake engaged and

the brake pedal released.

If the engine is put in

standby, the electronic

parking brake (depending

on the vehicle) is not ap-

plied automatically.

Engine on standby - braking

assistance is no longer op-

erational.

If the engine stalls while the system

is in operation, pressing the clutch

pedal right down will start it again.
