SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VEHICLES FITTED WITH AN EXHAUST PARTICLE FILT\
ER
When driving, depending on the
grade of fuel used, it is possible that
white smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle
filter being cleaned automatically,
and does not affect the way the
vehicle runs.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with
injection equipment which prevents
the engine from over-revving,
irrespective of the gear engaged.
Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
- ensure that the battery is always fully charged;
- always keep the fuel tank relatively full to avoid water vapour
condensing in it and accumulating
at the bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible
substances or materials
such as grass or leaves can come
into contact with the hot exhaust
system.
The warning light comes on
to indicate a filter saturation risk.
To clean the particle filter, we
recommend that you drive the
vehicle as soon as possible until the
warning light goes out, at an average
speed of 48 mph (80 km/h) provided
that traffic conditions and the speed
limit allow it.
As an indication, cleaning should
last about 20 minutes in this case.
If the message “Check emission
control” or “Regenerate particle
filter” is displayed alongside the
warning light, refer to your
RENAULT dealer as soon as possible.

ADVICE ON FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to
respect anti-pollution standards
may lead to legal action being taken
against the vehicle owner. In
addition, replacing engine, fuel
supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than
those originally recommended by
the manufacturer may alter your
vehicle so 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 Warranty and
Services booklet.
Your RENAULT Dealer has all the
equipment necessary for ensuring
that your vehicle is maintained to its
original standard.
Engine adjustments
• ignition: this does not require
adjustment.
plugs: for optimum fuel
economy, efficiency and
performance the specifications laid
down by our Design Department
must be strictly applied.
If the spark plugs have to be
changed, use the make, type and
gap specified for your vehicle’s
engine. Contact your Renault
Dealer for this information.
this does not require
adjustment.
A clogged
cartridge hinders performance and
must be replaced.
RENAULT is actively striving to
reduce pollutant exhaust gas
emissions and to save 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
vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Make sure that your
vehicle is maintained and used
correctly.

ENVIRONMENT
Your vehicle has been designed with
the aim of caring for the
environment.
Manufacture:
RENAULT has manufactured your
vehicle to comply with the strictest
environmental standards.
Furthermore, RENAULT has
implemented a system for checking
all of the vehicle components.
Emissions:
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emission control system including a
catalytic converter, an oxygen
sensor and an active carbon filter
(the latter prevents vapour from the
petrol tank being released into the
open air).
Recycling:
RENAULT has used all its expertise
to reduce environmental impact as
far as possible at the end of the
service life of your vehicle. This vehicle is more than 95%
recyclable. To make recycling easier,
many innovations have been
updated in the design of the vehicle
and the materials used.
The vehicle contains many parts
made of recycled plastics or
renewable materials (wood, cotton,
natural rubber etc.).
Make your contribution towards
protection of the environment too.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR
Operating principle
Each wheel (except the spare wheel)
has a sensor in the inflation valve
which periodically measures the
tyre pressure.
The system informs the driver that
the tyres are sufficiently inflated
and warns if they are deflated or if
there is a leak.
This system monitors the tyre
inflation pressure.
The pressures must be adjusted
when the tyres are cold.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are
cold, assume an
increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar ( 3PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
2.15
This function is an
additional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the
vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the spare wheel, once a month.
