ADVICE ON ANTI-POLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL, DRIVING
RENAULT is actively participating
in the reduction of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions and in saving
energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate
fuel consumption and initial
settings your Renault conforms to
current anti-pollution standards.
Technical design, however, cannot
achieve all. The fuel consumption
of your car and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are very
much within your control. Make
sure that your vehicle is maintained
correctly, use it carefully and watch
your driving style.Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to
respect anti-pollution standards
may lead to legal action being taken
against the vehicle owner. In
addition, the replacement of parts of
the engine, fuel supply system and
exhaust by parts other than those
originally recommended by the
manufacturer may alter your
vehicle such that it no longer
complies with anti-pollution
standards.
Have your vehicle checked and
adjusted by your Renault Dealer in
accordance with the instructions in
the vehicle’s servicing booklet.
Your Renault Dealer has all the
equipment necessary for ensuring
your vehicle is maintained in its
original standard.
Always remember that the emission
of pollutant fumes is directly linked
to fuel consumption.
Engine adjustments
• Ignition:This does not require
adjustment.
•Spark plugs:Optimum
conditions of use, performance
and output demand that the
specifications laid down by our
design office be rigorously
adhered to.
If the spark plugs have to be
changed, use the make, type and
gap specified for your vehicle’s
engine. Consult your Renault
Dealer for this information.
•Idling speed:This does not
require adjustment.
•Air filter:A choked element
hinders output and must be
changed.
•Injection pump setting:It must be
set to the recommended values.
