DRIVING WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMIS-
SION (AT)
The Automat\fc Transm\fss\fon (AT) \fn your veh\fcle \fs
electron\fcally controlled to produce max\fmum power
and smooth operat\fon.
The recommended operat\fng procedures for th\fs
transm\fss\fon are shown on the follow\fng pages. Follow
these procedures for max\fmum veh\fcle performance
and dr\fv\fng enjoyment.
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.
. Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads.
This may cause a loss of control.
. 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
