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.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
Protection against the action of
corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been
treated with very effective
anti-corrosion products, it is still
subject to the action of:
• corrosives in the atmosphere
- atmospheric pollution (urban
and industrial areas),
- saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
- seasonal and humid climatic
conditions, especially road salt
in winter.
• abrasives
- wind-carried dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other
vehicles.
• minor impacts
To avoid losing the benefits of this
protection, a minimum number of
precautions should be taken to
ensure against this risk.
What you must not do
• Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight
or in freezing temperatures.
• Scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
• Allow external dirt to accumulate.
• Allow rust to form after minor
impacts.
• Use solvents not recommended
by Renault's Technical Department
to remove spots as they may
damage the paintwork.
• Drive frequently in snow or muddy
conditions without periodically
washing the car, particularly
under the wheel arches and under
the body.• Degrease or clean mechanical
components (e.g. engine
compartment), underneath the
bodywork, parts with hinges (e.g.
inside the fuel tank flap, sunroof)
and painted plastic external
fittings (e.g. bumpers) using high
pressure cleaning apparatus or
spraying on products which are
not approved by our Technical
Department as this could give rise
to corrosion or incorrect operation.
