Advice on emission control and fuel economy
ADvIce: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle conforms to current antipol-
lution regulations. The manufacturer
is actively striving to reduce pollutant
exhaust gas emissions and to save
energy. But the fuel consumption of
your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main -
tained and used correctly.
Aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, to obtain op-
timum consumption levels, a warning
light on the rev counter lets you know
the best time to move up or down a
gear:
\ shift up a gear;
[ move down a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to
respect antipollution regulations could
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 manu -
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
engine adjustments
– ignition: this does not require ad -
justment.
– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, 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 an approved dealer
for this.
– idle: this does not require adjust -
ment.
– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele-
ment reduces performance. It must
be replaced.

at any time by depressing the accelera -
tor pedal. While it is being exceeded,
the cruising speed flashes on the in -
strument panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.

maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed will
flash on the instrument panel informa -
tion display to inform you of this situ -
ation.

changing mode
You can change mode at any time
by pushing the lever to the left. This
switches mode without changing gear.
Driving in manual mode
Using the selector lever
Pushing the lever repeatedly allows
you to change gears manually:
– To change up a gear: push the lever
forwards;
– to change down a gear: push the
lever backwards;
– to change to neutral: with the brake
pedal depressed (indicator light 4
will come on if you forget), push the
lever towards the right.
Note: when the vehicle is stationary
(braking, red light, etc.), the system au-
tomatically switches to first gear.
By pushing the lever forwards twice
you can move up two gears at a time
(unless this causes low engine speeds).
By pushing the lever backwards twice
you can move down two gears at a time
(unless this causes overrevving).
Note: neutral may only be selected
when the vehicle is being driven or is
stationary when the brake pedal is
depressed (if you forget, warning
light 4 will light up).
Accelerating and overtaking
To obtain maximum vehicle perform -
ance, in automatic or manual mode,
quickly depress the accelerator pedal
beyond the kickdown point.
This will activate the kickdown func -
tion allowing you to change down to the
most suitable gear.
QUIcKShIFt GeARBoX (3/5)
Driving in automatic mode
Each time the ignition is switched on,
automatic mode is selected by default
(letter A on the display).
The vehicle is controlled using the ac -
celerator and the brake.
Gears will change automatically at
the correct moment and at a suitable
engine speed because automatic mode
takes into consideration the road sur -
face and the chosen driving style.
You may change the gear selection
made by the automatic system (unless
this risks the engine being overrevved
or underrevved):
– by pushing the lever forwards or
backwards.
You can stop the vehicle at red lights,
with the gear engaged, by pressing the
brake pedal; there is no need to change
to neutral.
If the engine is being overrevved or underevved, the system will select the opti-
mal gear.

Parking
To park the vehicle with a gear en -
gaged (on a slope, for example): before
switching off the engine, check that a
gear other than N is displayed on the
instrument panel.
The next time the engine is started, de-
press the brake pedal. The vehicle will
then automatically change to neutral
(letter N on the display).
Audible warning
If you hold the vehicle on a slope for
too long without applying the brakes or
handbrake you will strain the system
and there is a risk that the clutch will
overheat.
In this case, an intermittent beeping
sound will remind you that you should
put your foot on the brake pedal or
apply the handbrake.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running when in gear. For safety rea -
sons you will hear an intermittent beep -
ing sound when you open the door if
you have not shifted into neutral or you
have not switched off the ignition or de-
pressed the brake pedal.
An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb
or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved
Dealer.

Niveau huile moteur : généralités (X44 - Renault)
ENG_NU_952-4_X44_Renault_4
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact an approved dealer if
more than 0.5 litres is being consumed
every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the
running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and always
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Engine oil level:
general information
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
Consult an approved dealer at once
if you notice an abnormal or re -
peated drop in any of the fluid levels.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
The oil level should only be read with
the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.
In order to prevent splashing, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling the oil.
Reading the level using the
dipstick
– remove the dipstick (refer to the fol-
lowing pages for its location) and
wipe it with a clean lint-free cloth;
– push in the dipstick as far as it will
go;
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall
below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been com -
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.
Under no circumstances
should maximum filling
level B be exceeded: this
could damage the engine
and the catalytic converter.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera -
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.

Changing a wheel
Start extending jack 2 by hand, turning
the handle. Position the head correctly
under vertical sill seam 3 nearest to the
wheel concerned and marked by an
oblong hole.
Continue turning the handle to position
the baseplate of the jack on the ground
correctly.
Turn a few times to lift the wheel off the
ground, remove the bolts and take off
the wheel.
Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace to slacken off the
wheel bolts 1 . Fit it so that you press
downwards rather than pulling up -
wards.
cHAngIng A WHeeL (1/2)
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level sur -
face where it will not slip (if neces -
sary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.
