Environment - Renault GRAND SCENIC Driver's Handbook Manual

ENvIRONMENT

Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured
in a factory which complies with the
strictest environmental standards.
Furthermore, a system has been imple-
mented for checking all of the vehicle
components.
Emissions
Our vehicles are fitted with a particle
filter system that includes a catalytic
converter, an oxygen sensor and an
active carbon filter (the latter prevents
vapour from the petrol tank being re-
leased into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable, in line with European
requirements that will come into force
in 2015.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have been
carefully designed to allow these com-
ponents to be easily removed and re-
processed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
Make your contribution towards
protection of the environment too.
– Worn parts replaced in the course of
routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations.
– At the end of the vehicle's service
life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis-
lation.
