For further details, see “Driving with Automatic
Transmission (AT)” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.
28. Automatic Transmission (AT) Error
warning (AT models)
If the Automatic Transmission (AT) Error warning
appears while the engine is running, or while driv-
ing, it may indicate that the AT is not functioning
properly and may need servicing. Have the system
checked, and if necessary repaired, by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop promptly. 29. Automatic Transmission (AT) park
warning (AT models)
This warning indicates that the Automatic Transmis-
sion (AT) parking function is not engaged. If the
transfer control is not secured in any driving position
while the AT shift lever is in the
P(Park) position, the
transmission will disengage and the wheels will not
lock.
For 4WD model: If the ATP warning appears with
the shift lever in the P(Park) position, shift the
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) mode switch to the
<2WD>, <4H> or <4LO> position again with the
shift lever in the N(Neutral) position. (See “Four-
Wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)” in the “5. Start-
ing and driving” section.) WARNING
If the 4WD mode indicator (see “4WD mode
indicator” in the “5. Starting and driving” section)
is OFF or the ATP warning light is ON, this indi-
cates that the automatic transmission P(Park)
position will not function and could result in the
vehicle moving unexpectedly, causing serious
personal injury or property damage. Always set
the parking brake.

31. Low fuel level warning
The low fuel level warning appears on the vehicle
information display when the fuel level in the tank is
getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient, pref-
erably before the gauge reads the empty position.
For further details, see “Fuel gauge” earlier in this
section. OIL CONTROL SYSTEM (where fitted
for diesel engine model)
When the ignition switch is in the
ONposition, en-
gine oil information is displayed.
Engine oil information informs the distance to oil
change, oil level indication and malfunction of oil
level sensor. 1. Distance to oil change
The distance to oil change is displayed if the dis-
tance to oil change is less than 1,500 km (930 miles).
2. Oil replacement indicator
When the set mileage approaches, the engine oil
replacement indicator will appear on the display.
After the oil is changed, reset the distance to oil
change. The oil replacement indicator will not be
reset automatically. To reset this indicator, see
“Settings” earlier in this section.
The distance to oil change interval cannot be ad-
justed manually. The distance to oil change interval
is set automatically.
CAUTION
•
If the oil replacement indicator is displayed,
change the engine oil as soon as possible.
Operating your vehicle with deteriorated oil
can damage the engine.
• Never perform reset if the engine oil was not
changed. Always visit an approved dealer or
qualified workshop to perform the engine oil
change including an oil filter change and the
reset.
NOTE
• It is not possible to undo the reset.
• Resetting the oil change distance is only pos-
sible when:
–T
he distance to oil change is displayed in
the vehicle information display. JVI1244X
Instruments and controls
2-29

–T
he oil replacement indicator is displayed
in the vehicle information display.
• The engine oil should be changed before the
distance to oil change reaches
0km(0miles).
Continued driving after the distance to oil
change reaches 0km(0miles) may result in
reduced engine performance.
• The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) may also
become saturated because regeneration is
restricted once the distance to oil change
reaches 0km(0m iles).
Have the vehicle inspected by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop if the above con-
dition occurs.
• The oil change interval will reduce faster with
certain types of driving, especially at low
speeds in urban conditions.
3. Low level reminder
If the low level indicator is displayed, the engine oil level is low. If the low level reminder is displayed,
check the level using the engine oil dipstick. (See
“Checking engine oil level” in the “8. Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section.)
CAUTION
The oil level should be checked regularly using
the engine oil dipstick. Operating with an insuffi-
cient amount of oil can damage the engine and
such damage is not covered by the warranty. 4. Oil level sensor warning
If the oil sensor warning is displayed, the engine oil
level sensor may be malfunctioning. Contact an ap-
proved dealer or qualified workshop immediately.
CLOCK AND OUTSIDE AIR
TEMPERATURE (where fitted)
The clock
➀and outside air temperature
➁are
displayed on the upper side of the vehicle informa-
tion display.
[Clock]
For details of how to set the clock, see “Settings”
earlier in this section or the separately provided
Touchscreen Navigation Owner’s manual.
[Outside Temp.] (°C or °F)
The outside air temperature is displayed in °C or °F
in the range of −40 to 60°C (−40 to 140°F). The outside air temperature mode includes
alow
temperature warning feature. If the outside air tem-
perature is below 3°C (37°F), the warning ➂is dis-
played on the screen (where fitted).
The outside temperature sensor is located in front of
the radiator. The sensor may be affected by road or
engine heat, wind directions and other driving con-
ditions. The display may differ from the actual out-
side temperature or the temperature displayed on
various signs or billboards. JVI0932XZ

HEADLIGHT SWITCH
RENAULT recommends that you consult the local
regulations concerning the use of lights.
AUTO position
When the ignition switch is in the ONposition and
the headlight switch is in the position, the
headlights, front clearance lights, instrument panel
lights, rear combination lights and other lights turn
on automatically depending on the brightness of the
surroundings.
The headlights will turn on automatically at twilight
or in rainy weather (when the windscreen wiper is
operated continuously).
When the ignition switch is placed in the OFFposi-
tion, the lights will turn off automatically. CAUTION
Do not place any objects on top of the brightness
sensor. The sensor senses the brightness level
and controls the autolight function. If the sensor
is covered, it reacts as if it is dark, and the head-
lights will illuminate.
m position

When driving with no heavy load/luggage or driving
on aflat road, select the normal position <0>.
If the number of occupants and load/luggage in the
vehicle changes, the headlight axis may become
higher than normal.
If the vehicle is travelling on ahilly road, the head-
lights may directly shine on the rearview and outside mirrors of avehicle ahead or the windscreen of an
oncoming vehicle, which may obscure another driv-
ers’ vision. To adjust to the proper aiming height, turn the switch
accordingly. The higher the number, designated on
the switch, the lower the headlight axis.
