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)
Monitoring exhaust gas
The exhaust gas monitoring system
will detect any malfunctioning of
the vehicle's exhaust gas
depollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic
substances may be released into the
atmosphere or mechanical damage
may occur.
This warning light on the
instrument panel will
indicate if there are any
problems with the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and then goes out.
- If it lights up continuously,
consult your Renault Dealer as
soon as possible.
- If it flashes, reduce the engine
speed until the light stops
flashing. Consult your Renault
Dealer as soon as possible.
Driving
•Drive carefully for the first few
miles until the engine reaches its
normal operating temperature
rather than letting it warm up
while stationary.
• Speed is expensive.
• “Snappy” driving uses a lot of
fuel: drive with a “light right
foot”.• Brake as little as possible by
suitably anticipating an obstacle
or bend and then simply releasing
the accelerator pedal.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not overrev the engine in
intermediate gears.
Use the highest gear possible
without labouring the engine.
(On versions with an automatic
gearbox, try to always use
positionD.)
• Try not to maintain the same
speed up a hill as you would on
the level; keep your foot in the
same position on the accelerator
pedal.
• Double declutching and
accelerating before switching off
the engine are superfluous
actions in modern cars.
• Bad weather, flooded roads
Do not drive on flooded
roads if the depth of
water is above the lower
edge of the wheel rims.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
Operation of the automatic mode
(continued)
To reach and maintainthe selected
comfort level, the system acts upon:
-blowerspeed,
- air distribution,
- air recirculation management,
- air conditioning (on or off).
The indicator lights let you know
what the system has selected.The value on the display3indicates
the comfort level.
When the vehicle is started in cold
or hot weather, increasing or
decreasing the values displayed
does not mean that the comfort level
is reached more quickly (the system
optimises the temperature increase
or decrease whatever the air
temperature indicated).For optimum operation, we
recommend that you leave the air
vents open in all weathers.
