ADVICE ON EMISSION CONTROL, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)
2.15
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 lights up 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 by
suitably anticipating an obstacle or
bend and then simply releasing the
accelerator pedal.
- Avoid sharp acceleration.
- Do not overrev the engine in the
intermediate gears.
Always use the highest gear
possible without labouring the
engine.
On versions with automatic
transmissions, 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 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 water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.
