– 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 trans
-
missions, 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 depth of water is above
the lower edge of the wheel
rims.
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.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
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
This warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the
system:
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after 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.
