Exhaust gas monitoring
system
(antipollution indicator light)
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle's antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
Ä
The indicator light in the instru-
ment panel indicates possible
faults in the system: it lights up when
the ignition is switched on and goes out
within three seconds.
– If it comes on 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.
(continued)
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 sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty 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 the in-
termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi-
ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with automatic gear-
boxes, 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 roads. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off the engine are
unnecessary in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads.
Do not drive through floods if
the water is above the lower
edge of the wheel rims.
