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.

AIR CONDITIONING
If no cool air is produced
Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are in good condition. Otherwise switch off the air
conditioning and contact a RENAULT Dealer.
Do not open the refrigerant fluid circuit.
Fuel consumption
When the air conditioning is operating, it is normal to notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving
in town).
In winter, use the air conditioning occasionally in order to keep the system in correct working order.
Do not worry about any water which may appear from underneath the vehicle as this results from condensation.
Operating faults
Generally, if you notice a decrease in the efficiency of de-icing, demisting or air conditioning, it may be caused by
clogging up of the particle filter cartridge, if one is fitted to the vehicle: consult your RENAULT Dealer.
