Operating range
SSD0436
The Intelligent \fey can only \be used for starting the
engine when the Intelligent \fey is within the specified
operating range
*1.
When the Intelligent \fey \battery is almost discharged
or strong radio waves are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent \fey system’s operating range
\becomes narrower and may not function properly.
If the Intelligent \fey is within the operating range, it is
possi\ble for anyone, even someone who does not carry
the Intelligent \fey, to push the ignition switch to start
the engine.
. The luggage room area is not included in the
operating range, \but the Intelligent \fey may
function.
. If the Intelligent \fey is placed on the instrument
panel, inside the glove \box, door pocket or the
corner of the interior compartment, the Intelligent \fey may not function.
. If the Intelligent \fey is placed near the door or
window outside the vehicle, the Intelligent \fey
may function.
Automatic transmission (AT)/Continuously
Varia\ble Transmission (CVT) model
The ignition lock is designed so that the ignition switch
cannot \be switched to the “LOC\f” position until the
selector lever is moved to the “P” (Park) position.
When pushing the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position, make sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(Park) position.
Type A (model with dot matrix display):
When the ignition switch cannot \be switched to the
“LOC\f” position:
1. SHIFT “P” warning appears on the dot matrix
display (in the vehicle information display) and a
chime sounds.
2. Move the selector lever to the “P” (Park) position.
3. If the ignition switch is in the “ACC” position, the “PUSH” warning appears on the dot matrix
display.
4. Push the ignition switch. The ignition switch is switched to the “ON” position.
5. The “PUSH” warning appears again on the dot matrix display.
6. Push the ignition switch. The ignition switch is switched to the “OFF” position.
7. Open the door. The ignition switch will change to the “LOC\f” position.
For warnings and indicators on the Vehicle information
display, see “Vehicle information display” (P.2-20) . Type B (model without dot matrix display) :
1. Move the selector lever to the “P” (Park) position.
2. Push the ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
3. Open the door. The ignition switch will change to
the “LOC\f” position.
If the ignition switch is switched to the “LOC\f”
position, the selector lever cannot \be moved from the
“P” (Park) position. The selector lever can \be moved if
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position with the foot
\brake depressed.

NOTE:
.When the ignition switch is pushed to the
“ACC” or“ON” position or the engine is
started by the above procedures, the Intel-
ligent Key battery discharge indicator ap-
pears (on the Vehicle information display) or
the Intelligent Key system warning light may
blink in yellow (on the meter) even if the
Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. This is
not a malfunction. To stop the warning light
from blinking, touch the ignition switch with
the Intelligent Key again.
. If the Intelligent Key battery discharge
indicator appears (on the Vehicle informa-
tion display) or the Intelligent Key system
warning light in the meter is blinking in

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
longer than a short waiting period.
. Keep the engine at idling speed while
shifting from the “N” (Neutral) position to
any driving position.

WARNING:
.Incorrect jump starting can lead to a battery
explosion. The battery explosion may result
in severe injury or death. It may also result in
damage to the vehicle. Be sure to follow the
instructions in this section.
. Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in
the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks
and flames away from the battery.
. Always wear suitable eye protection and
remove rings, bracelets, and any other jew-
elry whenever working on or near a battery.
. Never lean over the battery while jump
starting.
. Never allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, clothes or the
vehicle’s painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a
corrosive sulfuric acid which can cause
severe burns. If the fluid comes into contact
with anything, immediately flush the con-
tacted area with plenty of water.
. Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
. The booster battery must be rated at 12
volts. Use of an incorrectly rated battery will
damage your vehicle.
. Never attempt to jump start a frozen battery.
It could explode and cause serious injury.

1. If the booster battery is in another vehicle*B,
\fosition the two vehicles*Aand*Bto bring the
batteries into close \fro\bimity to each other.
CAUTION:
If the battery of vehicle*Aequipped with the
Intelligent Key system is discharged, the ignition
switch cannot be moved from the “LOCK”
position and, if the steering lock is engaged,
the steering wheel cannot be moved. Connect
the jumper cables to the booster vehicle
*Bbefore turning the ignition switch and disenga-
ging the steering lock.
2. A\f\fly the \farking brake.
3. Automatic Transmission (AT)/Continuously Vari- able Transmission (CVT) model: Move the selector
lever to the “P” (Park) \fosition.
Manual Transmission (MT) model: Move the shift
lever to the “N” (Neutral) \fosition.
4. Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (headlights, heater, air conditioner, etc.) .
5. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” \fosition.
6. Remove the vent ca\fs, if equi\f\fed, on the battery.
7. Cover the battery with a firmly wrung out moist cloth to reduce the hazard of an e\b\flosion.
8. Connect the jum\fer cables in the sequence as illustrated (
*1,*2,*3,*4).
CAUTION:
.Always connect positive +to positive +and
negative 7to body ground, NOT to the
battery’s negative 7. .
Be sure that the jumper cables do not touch
moving parts in the engine compartment.
. Be sure that the jumper cable’s clamps do
not contact any other metal.
9. Start the engine of the booster vehicle
*Band let
it run for a few minutes.
10. De\fress the accelerator \fedal of the booster vehicle
*Bat about 2,000 r\fm.
11. Start the engine of the jum\fed vehicle
*Ain the
normal manner.
CAUTION:
. Never keep the starter motor engaged for
more than 10 seconds. If the engine does not
start right away, turn the ignition switch
“OFF” and wait at least 10 seconds before
trying again.
. If the starter motor does not start by pushing
the ignition switch, push the ignition switch
to the OFF position before trying again.
12. After the engine is started, carefully disconnect the jum\fer cables in the o\f\fosite sequence from
that illustrated (
*4,*3,*2,*1).
13. Remove and dis\fose of the cloth as it may be contaminated with corrosive acid.
14. Re\flace the vent ca\fs, if removed.
NOTE:
. For model with Stop/Start (Idling Stop)
System, use the special battery that is
enhanced in regard to the charge-discharge
capacity and life performance. Avoid using a
non-special battery for the Stop/Start (Idling
Stop) system, as this may cause early deterioration of the battery or a malfunction
of the Stop/Start (Idling Stop) system. For
the battery, it is recommended to use
Genuine RENAULT parts. For more informa-
tion, contact a RENAULT dealer.
. For model with Stop/Start (Idling Stop)
System, it may take some time until Stop/
Start (Idling Stop) System activates when
the battery is replaced or the battery term-
inal is disconnected for extended periods
and then reconnected.
