Page 127 ENGINE EFFICIENCY, PERFORMANCE AND SERVICE LIFE. Engine cooling system This vehicle is supplied with "ULTRACOOLING PLUS" engine coolant (a Renault Trucks Oils product) conforming to the RENAULT TRUCKS specifications. It gives frost protec- tion down to - 25 or - 40 °C.
Page 128 Driving C1-2 Use during the summer or in hot climates Check the battery electrolyte level frequently. Do not labour the engine, change gear as often as necessary to maintain optimum engine speed. Thus, the circulation of water in the cooling system will be improved, keeping the engine temperature within the required specification limits.
Page 129 Driving C1-3 Economic driving To obtain the very best performance from your gearbox, and more particularly lower fuel consumption, observe the following driving rules: – Always choose the step-down ratio allowing you to use the engine at its best rotating speed.
Page 130 Driving C1-4 Preheating the engine cooling system Depending on your vehicle's equipment The connector (1) serves to supply power to the cooling system preheater. With the engine shut down, plug the electrical extension (2) from the onboard kit into the con- nector (1) to connect up with an external power source of 220 / 240 V 16 A meeting the stan- dards in force.
Page 131 Driving C2-1 Prior to starting RIVING Prior to getting into the vehicle Check in particular: – That there are no traces of oil, coolant or fuel under the vehicle. – Oil levels: • engine • power steering • clutch – Coolant level. For further details on the various level checks, refer to the "checking levels"...

Page 144 This engine speed can be adjusted but is limited to 1500 rpm (see page(s) D1-20 or D1-21). Depending on the equipment fitted by the equipment manufacturer, the input conditions for this engine speed can be modified using the RENAULT TRUCKS test tool. Avoid touching the accelerator pedal during use of the fast idling feature.
Page 145 Driving C4-1 On the road RIVING Hydraulic power-assisted steering When the engine is shut-down, power assistance to the steering is lost and be- tween 5 and 7 times as much effort is needed to turn the steering wheel. In gen- eral, if loss of assistance is experienced, proceed as follows: Check the fluid level in the reservoir, check for leaks from hose and pipe unions and rectify if possible (tighten the unions or change the hoses).
Page 146 Driving C4-2 Engine operating speed Always choose the step-down ratio allowing you to use the engine at its best operating speed, in the green zone on the engine rev counter (T). When you make use of retarder(s), a blue sector appears on the engine rev counter (T).
Page 147 Driving C4-3 Cruise control DO NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL ON SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACES Above a speed of 30 km/h, this feature serves to travel at a steady speed without suing the accelerator pedal. If your vehicle is equipped with a retarder control with 2 to 5 setting positions.

Page 175 Driving C4-31 If the accelerator pedal is not depressed after the parking brake is released, the vehicle may move forwards: use the brake pedal to hold it on the service brake. Moving away gear Move the ring (2) of selector (1) from position "N" to position "D". In automatic made, the system engages the optimal gear in relation to vehicle load and road contour.
Page 176 Driving C4-32 Moving away on gradients Start the engine: the correct moving away gear will be engaged upon changeover to mode "D". Release the parking brake. The vehicle moves forward (the clutch engages). If you move the selector from position "N" to position "D" while the vehicle is moving forwards: the system chooses a gear suited to the travelling speed and the clutch engages.
Page 177 Driving C4-33 When driving at a speed above 90 km/h, any changing into neutral is forbidden by the gearbox. The gear engaged remains engaged, a buzzer sounds and a pictogram (2) is dis- played to invite the driver to move the gear selector to position "D".
