QUICKSHIFT 5 GEARBOX(continued)
Automatic mode
Automatic mode is selected by
default every time the ignition is
switched on.
You can change it at any time when
driving by pressing the mode
change button. The letterAappears
on the display.
The vehicle is controlled using the
accelerator and the brake. Gears will
change automatically at the correct
moment to a speed suitable for the
engine because the automatic
function takes into consideration
the weight of the car, the road
surface and the chosen driving
style.Note:
Automatic mode takes account of:
- the position and speed of
depression of the accelerator
pedal to assess driving style and
select the optimum gear,
- action on the brake pedal to alert
the engine brake by anticipating
the down-change
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.
The vehicle will move off again:
- slowly, if you release just the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in
a traffic jam)
- quickly, if you release the brake
and accelerate.
The level of oil in the
automatic gearbox system
reservoir is variable
depending on use. Adding
oil isstrictly forbidden(except by
qualified Renault network
personnel).

example, on a slope). To do this:
- with the ignition on, select a gear
with your foot on the brake.
- check that a gear other thanNis

QUICKSHIFT 5 GEARBOX(continued)
Horn
•If you keep the vehicle on a slope
for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, there is a
risk that the clutch will overheat.
In this event, an intermittent beep
will remind you that you should
put your foot on the brake or
apply the handbrake.
• Never leave the vehicle with the
engine running when in gear.
For safety reasons you will hear
an intermittent beep when you
open the door if you have not
shifted into neutral or you have
not switched off the ignition or
pressed the brake pedal.• Your vehicle will not start:
you can start the engine when the
vehicle is moving if the battery is
not discharged (display lit up).
Proceed as before:
- switch on the ignition
- select neutral
- push or tow the car or run it
down a slope until you reach the
speed at which the warning
buzzer is activated. This will
indicate that moving the
selector lever forwards will
engage the gear most suited to
starting the engine.
Note:never attempt this in reverse.
Operating faults
When driving,ifthis
warning light comes on, it
indicates a fault in the
system.
In most cases, you may still drive
the vehicle, although it will not
function perfectly. However, you
should consult a Renault Dealer as
soon as possible.
Towing a vehicle with a
sequential gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
- switch on the ignition
- select neutral with yourfoot on
the brake
- check that the gearbox is in neutral
(by pushing the vehicle, for
example).
If you cannot find neutral you must
tow the vehicle with the front
wheels raised.
Towing should always take place
with the ignition switched off.
