The constant determination which has transcended every period of Renault’s existence, guiding our options and governing the directions in which we have developed, is now helping to establish our reputation.

Workshop Repair Manual 345 and Technical Note 3286A Features of Renault Clio Sport SPL lighter version (see manufacturer’s plate) | The injection computer receives a signal from the power steering pressure switch (which can be displayed on the diagnostic tools). The injection computer does not adjust the engine idle speed. ELECTRIC CORRECTION ACCORDING TO BATTERY VOLTAGE AND ELECTRIC POWER BALANCE The aim of this correction is to compensate for the drop in voltage due to operation of a power consuming component when the battery is at low charge. To achieve this, the idle speed is increased, which increases the speed of rotation of the alternator, and this increases the battery voltage. The lower the voltage, the more significant the correction. Correction of the engine speed is therefore variable. It begins when the voltage drops below 12.8 V.The idling speed may reach 900 rpm maximum.
