Advice On Antipollution, Fuel Economy And Driving; Engine Adjustments - Renault Clio 2007 Owner's Manual

ADVICE: Antipollution, fuel economy and driving
RENAULT is actively striving to reduce
pollutant exhaust gas emissions and
to save energy. By virtue of its design,
moderate fuel consumption and ini-
tial settings, your RENAULT conforms
to current antipollution standards.
Technical design, however, cannot
achieve all. The fuel consumption of
your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Make sure that your ve-
hicle is maintained and used correctly.
2.8
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to respect
antipollution regulations may lead to
legal action being taken against the
vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu-
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
standards.
Have your vehicle checked and ad-
justed by your RENAULT Dealer in ac-
cordance with the instructions in the ve-
hicle's Maintenance Service booklet.
Your approved Dealer has all the
equipment necessary for ensuring that
your vehicle is maintained to its original
standard.

Engine adjustments

– ignition: this does not require any
adjustment.
– spark plugs: for optimum condi-
tions of use, output and performance
the specifications laid down by our
Design Department must be strictly
applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed,
use the make, type and gap specified
for your vehicle's engine. Contact
your RENAULT Dealer for this infor-
mation.
– idling speed: this does not require
any adjustment.
– air filter, diesel filter: a choked ele-
ment hinders performance and must
be replaced.
