DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/3)
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.

Operating the roof
Before opening/closing the roof, ensure
that the surrounding space is greater
than A and B to allow the roof to op-
erate.
A = 1.90 m
B = 40 cm
Driver’s
responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card inside and
never leave a child (or a pet) un-
supervised, even for a short while.
With the card inside, it would be
possible to operate the retractable
glass roof and there is a risk that the
child may be seriously injured (by
trapping their neck, arm, hand, etc.).
If anything is trapped, reverse the
retractable glass roof’s direction of
travel immediately by pressing the
opposite side of the roof open/close
button.

vehicle.
