STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
Starting the engine
OVehicles with an automatic
transmission
Refer to the paragraph
“Automatic transmission” in
section 2.
Vehicles with an immobiliser
system
In very cold conditions
(temperature below than –20°C):
so that it is easier to start the
engine, switch on the ignition for
several secondsbeforestarting
the engine.
Ensure the immobiliser system is
not operational. Refer to section
1 “immobiliser system”.
OPetrol injection
Engine cold or hot
- Turn the key to the start
positionwithout accelerating
- Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
ODiesel injection
Engine cold or warm
Turn the key to the “Ignition on”
positionMand hold it there until
the preheating warning light
extinguishes (the colder the
engine, the more preheating is
required).
Turn the key to the “Start”
positionDand hold it there for
periods of a maximum of 10
seconds, until the engine starts.
In cold weather (below –10°C)
press down the clutch pedal and
accelerate fully while activating
the starter. After releasing the
key, when the engine has gained
speed, lift your foot off the
accelerator to let the engine
return to idling speed. Allow the
engine to idle for a few seconds
before removing your foot from
the clutch pedal.Hot engine
Turn the key directly to the “Start”
position. If the engine does not start
first time, repeat the operation using
preheating.
Do not allow the engine to race; let it
idle for a few moments.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, return the
key to the “Stop” position.
If there is a child (or animal) in the car, never leave it unattended with the key in the ignition. With the key in
the ignition it would be possible to operate the electrical equipment such as the windows and there is a risk
that the child may be seriously injured (by trapping his or her neck, arm, hand, etc.).
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely.Once the engine has stopped, the power
steering, brake servo and passive safety devices such as air bags and pretensioners will no longer operate. When the
key has been removed, the steering will lock.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING
RENAULT actively participates in
the reduction of pollutant exhaust
gas emissions and in saving energy.
By virtue of its design, its original
settings and moderate fuel
consumption, your RENAULT
conforms to the current antipollution
standards. Technical design cannot
achieve everything, however. The
level of exhaust gas pollutant
emissions and the fuel
consumption of your vehicle is
within your control. Ensure that
your vehicle is maintained
correctly, and that you drive and use
it carefully.Maintenance
Not observing the antipollution
legislation may lead to the owner of
the vehicle being prosecuted.
Replacing parts of the engine, the
fuel supply system and the exhaust
with parts which are not original
parts recommended by the
manufacturer may mean that your
vehicle no longer conforms to the
antipollution regulations.
Have your vehicle checked and
adjusted by your Renault Dealer in
accordance with the instructions in
your Warranty and Servicing booklet.
Your Renault Dealer has all the
equipment necessary to ensure that
your vehicle is maintained to its
original standard.
Always remember that the emission
of pollutant fumes is directly linked
to fuel consumption.
Engine adjustments
• ignition:this requires no adjustment
• spark plugs:optimum conditions
of use, performance and output
require that the specifications
laid down by our Design
Department be rigorously
adhered to.
If the spark plugs have to be
replaced, use the make, type and
gap specified for your engine.
Consult your Renault Dealer for
this information.
• idle speed:this requires no
adjustment.
• air filter, diesel fuel filter:a
blocked cartridge reduces output
and must be replaced.
• injection pump setting:this must
be set to the recommended values.

PROACTIVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION(continued)
Economical driving
On the open road, always leave the
lever in positionD. Press the
accelerator pedal lightly to ensure
that the gears change automatically
at a low engine speed.
Never use positions D3, 2, 1 and the
snow position unless special
circumstances apply.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stationary,
whilst keeping your foot on the
brake pedal, place the lever in
positionP: the automatic
transmission is in neutral and the
drive wheels are mechanically
locked by the transmission.
Apply the handbrake.
Operating faults
• If the lever remains locked in P
when your foot is on the brake
pedal, the lever may be moved
manually.
To do this, unclip coverIand then
press the raised area (under cover
I)and,atthesametime,press
unlocking buttonAto remove the
lever from positionP.
Take the vehicle to your Renault
Dealer.
•While driving,if this
warning light illuminates,
there is a fault. Refer to
the
information on the “Instrument
panel” in section 1.
•Towing a vehicle with an
automatic transmission,refer to
the information on “Towing” in
section 5.

GEAR LEVER HANDBRAKEPOWER ASSISTED STEERING
To select reverse
(vehicle stationary)
Move the lever to neutral, then lift
up ring1against the gear lever knob
to select reverse gear.
The reversing lights illuminate as
soon as reverse gear is selected
(ignition on).
To release
Pull the lever up slightly, press in
button2and lower the lever to the
floor.
If you are driving with the
handbrake incorrectly released, the
red warning light on the instrument
panel will remain illuminated.
To apply
Pull the lever upwards.
The lever should travel about 10
notches to hold the vehicle. Your
vehicle has self adjusting rear brake
shoes and the handbrake should
only be adjusted during a brake
overhaul.
When the vehicle is
stationary, make sure
that the handbrake is
properly applied so that
the vehicle does not move
unintentionally.
Make sure the handbrake is
properly released when driving,
otherwise overheating may
occur.Never leave the steering on full lock
when the vehicle is parked (risk of
damaging the power assisted
steering pump).
Never switch off the
engine when travelling
downhill, and avoid
doing so when driving in
general (power steering and
brake servo will not function).

2.14
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
When braking sharply, the two main
aims are to reduce the stopping
distance and to keep the vehicle
under control. However, depending
on the nature of the ground, the
atmospheric conditions and your
reactions, dangers due to loss of
adherence may exist: the wheels
may lock and directional control
may be lost. To avoid these risks,
your vehicle has been fitted with
the anti-lock braking system (ABS).
The safety enhancement is that the
brake control system prevents the
wheels from locking, even if the
brakes are applied too sharply,
allowing the vehicle to be steered
and thus its direction to be controlled.
Under these circumstances, it is quite
possible for the driver to steer the
vehicle and avoid an obstacle whilst
at the same time applying the brake.
This system also allows stopping
distances to be improved, especially
when adhesion is limited (wet roads,
slippery or uneven road surface).Although this system allows this
optimisation, the ABS system in no
way increases performance which is
physically related to the local
adherence conditions between the
tyres and the ground. You must still
follow the rules of good driving
practice (driving at a safe distance
from the vehicle in front etc.).The
fact that the vehicle’s safety has been
increased should not encourage you
to take risks.
Each time the system is activated,
you will feel a certain degree of
pulsation at the brake pedal. These
tangible signs will warn you that the
adhesion between the tyres and the
ground has reached its limit and
enable you to adapt your driving
style to suit the road conditions.Operating incidents
Two situations must be considered:
1 - The warning light is
illuminated on the instrument
panel.
Braking is still assured, but
without the action of the ABS
system. Consult a Renault Dealer
as soon as possible.
2 - The warning lights
are illuminated on the instrument
panel.
This indicates a fault in one of
the ABS braking components.
Braking may be partially assured.
It is howeverdangerous to brake
sharply,soyoumuststop
immediately as soon as traffic
conditions allow. Call for the
assistance of a Renault Dealer as
soon as possible.
The braking modulation provided by the ABS system is independent of the force applied at the pedal. In an
emergency, applyfirm, continuous pressureat the brake pedal - there is no need to pump it repeatedly.
