ADVICE ON ANTI-POLLUTION, HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL, 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 vehicle 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 and exhaust
system electronic management by
parts other than those
recommended by the manufacturer
will modify the conformity of your
vehicle such that it no longer
complies with anti-pollution
standards.
Have your vehicle checked and
adjusted by your Renault Dealer in
accordance with the instructions in
the vehicle’s Servicing booklet.
Your Renault Dealer has all the
equipment necessary for ensuring
your vehicle is maintained in 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: optimum conditions
of use, performance and output
demand that the specifications
laid down by our design office be
rigorously adhered to.
If the spark plugs have to be
changed, use the make, type and
gap specified for your vehicle's
engine. Consult your Renault
Dealer for this information.
• Idling speed: this does not require
adjustment.
• Air filter: a blocked cartridge
reduces output and must be
changed.
