Automatic gearbox
Operation
With gear lever 1 in position P, start the
engine.
With your foot on the brake pedal (warn-
ing light 4 goes out), move the lever out
of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi -
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re -
leased.
You must apply the brake before
pressing unlocking button 2 to move
out of position P.
Selector lever 1

Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to position D.
In most traffic conditions, you will not
have to touch the gear selector lever
again: the gears will change automati -
cally at the right time and at the most
suitable engine speed because the au-
tomatic system takes into account the
vehicle load and road contour and ad-
justs itself to the particular driving style
you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure au -
tomatic gear changes at comparatively
low engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

Driving in manual modeWith selector lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– to move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.Special circumstances
– Snow position: if you are driving on
ground where you are likely to skid
(snow, mud, etc.), press switch 5
and operating tell-tale 6 will come
on.
Once these special driving con -
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 5
again. Operating tell-tale light 6
goes out. –
If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain -
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel -
spin when accelerating.

In very cold weather , the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.

Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are de -
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can
be released manually. To do this, unclip
the base of the lever, press recess 7 ,
visible on the gear lever gaiter, and the
unlocking button on the lever.Operating faults
– when driving, if the ‘check gearbox’
message appears on the instrument
panel, it indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– when driving , if the message “gear-
box overheating” appears on the in-
strument panel, avoid leaving the
lever in position D (or R) where traf-
fic conditions allow: always return to
position N when stationary.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down , refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
7
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
An impact to the under -
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik -
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor -
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.

Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off: the
transmission is no longer lubricated. It
is preferable to tow this type of vehi -
cle on a trailer or tow it with the front
wheels off the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going
forward, with the gear lever in the
Neutral position, and for a distance
not exceeding 30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck in P,
even though you are de -
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually.
To do this, unclip the upper section
of the cover at the base of the lever.
Press simultaneously on the mark
on the gaiter and the unlocking
button on the lever.
– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking
suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad -
visable not to exceed 15 mph
(25 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the
steering column is locked.
Towing procedure
Before any towing, check that the steer-
ing column is not locked.
If it is locked, insert the RENAULT card
into the reader and press the Start/Stop
button for five seconds without press-
ing on the pedals. The steering column
unlocks and the vehicle accessories
functions are supplied.
Leave the card in the reader while
towing.
Press the Start/Stop button twice in
succession once towing is finished (risk
of running down the battery).
TOWING: breakdown (2/3)
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
W h e n t h e e n g i n e i s
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op -
erational.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition switch or the
card from the reader during
towing.
