SPECIAL POINTS - PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat and thus reduce its
efficiencyor even destroy it and
cause heat damage to the vehicle:
• Driving for a long time with the
low fuel level warning light
illuminated;
• Faulty ignition, running out of
fuel or spark plug disconnected
occurring as engine misfiring and
snatches when driving;
• Using leaded petrol;
• Using lubrication additives or
fuel which is not approved by
Renault;
• Loss of power;
• The fitting of non-recognised
security systems which have been
integrated into the fuel injection
system for immobilisation
purposes;
Bump starting the vehicle, as
unburnt petrol in the system, may
affect the catalyst if the car does not
start quickly. However, jump
starting with jump leads across the
battery is permissible;If you note any of the above faults,
have the necessary repairs carried
out as soon as possible by your
Renault Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by
taking your vehicle regularly to
your Renault Dealer at the intervals
specifiedinyour“Warrantyand
Servicing” booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic
converter,do not keep tryingto start
the engine (using the starter, or by
pushing or pulling the vehicle)
without having identified and
corrected the cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be found, do not
try to start the engine again, but call
for the assistance of a Renault
Dealer.
Never park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible
substances or materials
such as grass or leaves may come
into contact with a hot exhaust
system.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING
RENAULT actively participates in
the reduction of pollutant exhaust
gas emissions and in saving energy.
By virtue of its design, its original
settings and moderate fuel
consumption, your RENAULT
conforms to the current antipollution
standards. Technical design cannot
achieve everything, however. The
level of exhaust gas pollutant
emissions and the fuel
consumption of your vehicle is
within your control. Ensure that
your vehicle is maintained
correctly, and that you drive and use
it carefully.Maintenance
Not observing the antipollution
legislation may lead to the owner of
the vehicle being prosecuted.
Replacing parts of the engine, the
fuel supply system and the exhaust
with parts which are not original
parts recommended by the
manufacturer may mean that your
vehicle no longer conforms to the
antipollution regulations.
Have your vehicle checked and
adjusted by your Renault Dealer in
accordance with the instructions in
your Warranty and Servicing booklet.
Your Renault Dealer has all the
equipment necessary to ensure that
your vehicle is maintained to its
original standard.
Always remember that the emission
of pollutant fumes is directly linked
to fuel consumption.
Engine adjustments
• ignition:this requires no adjustment
• spark plugs:optimum conditions
of use, performance and output
require that the specifications
laid down by our Design
Department be rigorously
adhered to.
If the spark plugs have to be
replaced, use the make, type and
gap specified for your engine.
Consult your Renault Dealer for
this information.
• idle speed:this requires no
adjustment.
• air filter, diesel fuel filter:a
blocked cartridge reduces output
and must be replaced.
• injection pump setting:this must
be set to the recommended values.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING(continued)
General hints
•Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all
the electrical units which are not
really needed.
However,(with safety always in
mind), keep your lights on when
the visibility is bad (see and be
seen).
• Try to use the air vents. Driving at
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h)
with the windows open will
increase the use of fuel by 4%.•For vehicles fitted with air
conditioning,morefuelmaybe
used during urban driving; switch
off the system when it is not really
needed.
• Never fill the fuel tank up to the
brim to avoid it overflowing.
• Do not leave an empty roof rack in
position.
• Use a trailer for carrying bulky
objects.
• When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it properly.
• Avoid using the car for door to
door calls (short journeys with
long stops in between), as the
engine never reaches its ideal
temperature. Try to group your
calls.
Tyres
•Inflation pressures which are too
low may increase fuel
consumption.
• The use of non-recommended
tyres may also increase fuel
consumption.

DAir distribution control.
EIsolation of the passenger
compartment (air recirculation).FAir recirculation operation

GAdjusting air volume output.

Move controlA.

To the left:minimum temperature
possible.
Adjusting the amount of air
supplied to the passenger
compartment
Move controlGfrom0to4.
Passenger compartment ventilation
is by “blown air”. The ventilation
fan determines how much air enters
but vehicle speed has a slight effect
on this.
The further the control is positioned
to the right, the more air is blown
into the passenger compartment.

AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Move controlD.
• Position
The air flow is directed to the
dashboard air vents only.
This selection is not appropriate if
all the air vents are closed.• Position
The air flow is directed to the
dashboard air vents and the footwells.
• Position
The air flow is directed to the
footwells.• Position
The air flow is distributed between
all the air vents, the side window
demisters, the windscreen demisters
and the footwells.
• Position
For improved efficiency, close the
dashboard air vents.
All the air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisters and the side
window demisters.
In this position, simultaneous
operation of the air conditioning
system could make demisting more
efficient.
