Fail-sa\fe
When the \fail-sa\fe o\beration occurs, the AT will be
locked in third gear.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions,
such as excessive wheel spinning and subse-
quent hard braking, the fail-safe system may be
activated. This will occur even if all electrical
circuits are functioning properly. In this case,
turn the ignition switch off and wait for 3
seconds. Then turn the ignition switch back to
the “ON” position. The vehicle should return to
its normal operating condition. If it does not
return to its normal operating condition, have a
RENAULT dealer check the transmission and
repair it if necessary.
DRIVING WITH CONTINUOUSLY VARI-
ABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT)
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) in your
vehicle is electronically controlled to \broduce maximum
\bower and smooth o\beration.
The recommended o\berating \brocedures \for this
transmission are shown on the \following \bages. Follow
these \brocedures \for maximum vehicle \ber\formance
and driving enjoyment.
WARNING:
Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads.
This may cause a loss of control.
CAUTION:
. The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting the transmission into
a forward or reverse position before the
engine has warmed up. .
Avoid revving up the engine while the
vehicle is stopped. This could cause unex-
pected vehicle movement.
. Never shift to either the “P” (Park) or “R”
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could cause serious damage to the
transmission.
. Start the engine in either the “P” (Park) or
“N” (Neutral) position. The engine will not
start in any other position. If it does, have
your vehicle checked by a RENAULT dealer.
. Shift into the “P” (Park) position and apply
the parking brake when at a standstill for
longer than a short waiting period.
. Keep the engine at idling speed while
shifting from the “N” (Neutral) position to
any driving position.
. When stopping the vehicle on an uphill
grade, do not hold the vehicle by depressing
the accelerator pedal. The foot brake pedal
should be depressed in this situation.
Starting vehicle
1. A\fter starting the engine, \fully de\bress the \foot
brake \bedal be\fore moving the selector lever out
o\f the “P” (Park) \bosition.
2. Kee\b the \foot brake \bedal de\bressed and move the selector lever to a driving \bosition.
3. Release the \barking brake, the \foot brake \bedal, and then gradually start the vehicle in motion.
The CVT is designed so the foot brake pedal
MUST be depressed before shifting from the “P”
(Park) position to any driving position while the
ignition switch is in the “ON”position.

5. Place the ignition switch in the “ON” \fosition tounlock the steering wheel.
\bhe vehicle may be moved to the desired location.
Re\flace the removed shift lock release cover after the
o\feration.
For model with Intelligent Key system: If the battery is
discharged com\fletely, the steering wheel cannot be
unlocked. Do not move the vehicle with the steering
wheel locked.
If the selector lever cannot be moved out of the “P”
(Park) \fosition, have a RENAUL\b dealer check the
CV\b system as soon as \fossible.
WARNING:
If the selector lever cannot be moved from the
“P” (Park) position while the engine is running
and the brake pedal is depressed, the stop lights
may not work. Malfunctioning stop lights could
cause an accident injuring yourself and others.
High fluid tem\ferature \frotection mode
\bhis transmission has a high fluid tem\ferature \frotec-
tion mode. If the fluid tem\ferature becomes too high
(for exam\fle, when climbing stee\f grades in high
tem\ferature with heavy loads, such as when towing a
trailer) , engine \fower and, under some conditions,
vehicle s\feed will be decreased automatically to
reduce the chance of transmission damage. Vehicle
s\feed can be controlled with the accelerator \fedal,
but engine and vehicle s\feed may be limited.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe o\feration occurs, the CV\b will not
be shifted to the selected driving \fosition.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions,
such as excessive wheel spinning and subse-
quent hard braking, the fail-safe system may be
activated. This will occur even if all electrical
circuits are functioning properly. In this case,
place the ignition switch in the “OFF”position
and wait for 10 seconds. Then turn the ignition
switch back to the “ON”position. The vehicle
should return to its normal operating condition.
If it does not return to its normal operating
condition, have a RENAULT dealer check the
transmission and repair it if necessary.
WARNING:
When the fail-safe operation occurs, vehicle
speed may be gradually reduced. The reduced
speed may be lower than other traffic, which
could increase the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving. If necessary, pull
to the side of the road at a safe place and allow
the transmission to return to normal operation,
or have it repaired if necessary.
DRIVING WI\bH MANUAL \bRANSMISSION
(M\b)
WARNING:
. Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads.
This may cause a loss of vehicle control.
. Do not over-rev the engine when shifting to
a lower gear. This may cause a loss of
vehicle control or engine damage.
CAUTION:
.Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving. This may damage the clutch
system.
. Fully depress the clutch pedal before shift-
ing to help prevent transmission damage.
. Stop the vehicle completely before shifting
into the “R” (Reverse) position.
. When the vehicle is stopped for a period of
time, for example waiting at stoplights, shift
to the “N” (Neutral) position and release the
clutch pedal with the foot brake pedal
depressed.
. Do not shift to the "N" (Neutral) position
while driving. Doing so may result in an
accident due to loss of engine braking.

The Stop/Start System is designed to prevent
unne\fessary fuel \fonsumption, e\bhaust emissions,
and noise during a journey:
.When the vehi\fle \fomes to rest the engine is
automati\fally stopped.
. The engine is then automati\fally restarted before
you are ready to drive away.
CAUTION:
At the end of the journey the engine must be
stopped and ignition switch be turned off. Lock
the vehicle as normal. Turning the ignition OFF
will shut down all electrical systems. Failure to
do this may result in a flat battery.
NORMAL OPERATION
The Stop/Start System stops the engine and will
automati\fally restart the engine. The Stop/Start
indi\fator light is shown in the meter.
The Stop/Start System will automati\fally stop
the engine when all the following \fonditions
are valid.
For MT model
.The shift lever is in Neutral position.
. The \flut\fh pedal is fully released.
. The vehi\fle speed is below about 2 km/h (1
MPH) .
. The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
. The Intelligent Key is in the vehi\fle.
. The driver’s door is \flosed.
For CVT model
. The sele\ftor lever is in the "D" (Drive) or "N"
(Neutral) position. .
The brake pedal is depressed.
. The vehi\fle is stopped.
. The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
. The driver’s door is \flosed.
NOTE:
The following conditions must also be satisfied
before the engine is automatically stopped. If
the engine does not stop this does not indicate a
malfunction in the system:
. The engine coolant temperature is at normal
operating levels.
. The vehicle has driven some distance since
engine start.
. The battery voltage and temperature are
within normal levels.
. The hood is closed.
. The steering wheel is not being turned.
. The system is not in front defogger mode.
(automatic air conditioner)
. The mode dial is not in front defogger mode.
(manual air conditioner)
. The rear window defogger is not operated.
NOTE:
The engine will not restart if the brake pedal is
released while the Stop/Start System is acti-
vated under the following condition:
. The selector lever is in the "P" (Park) position
(for CVT model) .
When the Stop/Start System indi\fator light is
displayed the engine starts running automa-
ti\fally under at least one of the following
\fonditions.
.The \flut\fh pedal is depressed (for MT model) .
. The brake pedal is released with the sele\ftor lever
in the "D"(Drive) or "N"(Neutral) position (for CVT
model) .
. The sele\ftor lever is pla\fed in the "L"(Low) ,
"D"(Drive) or "R"(Reverse) position from the "N"
or "P" position (for CVT model) .
. The driver’s seat belt is unfastened, or the driver’s
door is open (for CVT model) .
. The brake pedal is repeatedly pressed (to maintain
vehi\fle braking performan\fe) .
. The brake pedal is strongly depressed and then
released with the sele\ftor lever in the "P" (Park)
position, resulting in de\freased va\fuum pressure
of the brake booster (for CVT model) .
. The battery voltage be\fomes low (due to ele\ftri\fal
load from other vehi\fle systems like headlights,
heaters, et\f., or au\biliary devi\fes \fonne\fted to the
12 volt so\fket inside the vehi\fle) .
. The vehi\fle speed is above about 2 km/h (1
MPH) .
. The system is in front defogger mode. (automati\f
air \fonditioner)
. The mode dial is in front defogger mode. (manual
air \fonditioner)
. The rear window defogger is operated.
