ADVICE ON ANTI-POLLUTION, FUEL ECONOMY, DRIVING
RENAULT is actively participating
in
the
reduction
of
pollutant
exhaust gas emissions and in saving
energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate
fuel
consumption
and
initial
settings, your Renault conforms to
current anti-pollution standards.
Technical design, however, cannot
achieve all. The fuel consumption
of your car and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are very
much within your control. Make
sure that your car is maintained
correctly, use it carefully and watch
your driving style.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that
failure to respect anti-pollution
standards could lead to legal action
against the car owner. In addition,
the replacement of parts of the
engine, fuel supply system and
exhaust by parts other than those
originally recommended by the
manufacturer could alter your car in
such a way that it no longer
complies
with
anti-pollution
standards.
Have your car checked and adjusted
by
your
Renault
Dealer
in
accordance with the instructions in
the car’s servicing booklet.
Your Renault Dealer has all the
equipment necessary for ensuring
that your car is maintained to its
original standard.
Always remember that the emission
of pollutant fumes is directly linked
to fuel consumption.
Engine adjustments
• Ignition:
this does not require
adjustment.
•
Spark plugs:
the specifications of
the
Renault
Technical
Department
must
be
strictly
observed in order to achieve
optimum
conditions
of
use,
performance and output.
If the spark plugs have to be
changed, use the make, type and
gap
specified
for
your
car's
engine. Consult your Renault
Dealer for this information.
•
Idling speed:
this does not require
adjustment.
•
Air and fuel filters:
a clogged
filter element reduces output and
should be changed.
•
Injection pump setting:
the pump
must be set to the recommended
values.
