ADVICE ON EMISSION CONTROL, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING
Exhaust gas monitoring system
The exhaust gas monitoring system
will detect any malfunctioning of
the vehicle's exhaust gas anti-
pollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic
substances may be released into
the atmosphere or damage may
occur.
ä
This instrument panel
warning light shows any
system faults:
This comes on when the ignition
is switched on and goes out after
three seconds.
- If it comes on continuously,
contact 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 let it warm up while
the vehicle is stationary.
• Speed is expensive.
• "Sporty" driving is expensive:
drive with a "light right foot".
(continued)
• Brake as little as possible by
suitably anticipating an obstacle
or bend and then simply releasing
the accelerator pedal.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not over-rev the engine in
the intermediate gears.
Always use the highest gear
possible without labouring the
engine.
On versions with automatic
transmissions, it is preferable to
keep the gear lever in position D.
• Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no
more than you would on level
ground. Keep your foot in the
same position on the accelerator
pedal.
• Double
de-clutching
accelerating before switching off
are superfluous actions in modern
vehicles.
• Bad weather, flooded roads.
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.
