ADVICE ON EMISSION CONTROL, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING
(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 stationary.
- Speed is expensive.
- Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel:
drive with a light right foot.
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.
- Brake as little as possible. If you
anticipate obstacles or bends ahead
of you it will be sufficient just to
lift your foot off the accelerator.
- Avoid sharp acceleration.
- Do not overrev the engine in the
intermediate gears. Always use the
highest gear possible without
labouring the engine.
- Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on
the accelerator pedal.
- Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
- Bad weather, flooded roads
Do not drive through
floods if the depth of
water is above the lower
edge of the wheel rims.
