Stop and start function
STOP AND START function (1/3)
Warning light  is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
the engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera -
tional while the engine is stopped.
The engine will restart when you press
the clutch pedal and move into gear.
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the
engine (standby) when the vehicle is
at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
System operating conditionsEngine standby is activated if:
– the vehicle has been driven since its
last stop;
– the gearbox is in neutral;
– the clutch pedal is released;
and
– the vehicle is travelling at less than 3
km/h. Special feature of the automatic
engine re-start
Under certain conditions, the engine
can restart on its own in order to guar-
antee your safety and comfort.
This can occur especially when:
–
the outdoor temperature is too low or
too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the “Clear View” function is acti -
vated if fitted on the vehicle (please
see “Automatic Climate Control” in
Section 3);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the vehicle speed is above 7 km/h
(downhill slope, etc.);
– repeated pressing on the brake
pedal or braking system require -
ment;
– ...
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
Do not drive off when the
engine is on standby (warn-
ing light
 is displayed
on the instrument panel).
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition (please see
section on “Starting, stop -
ping the engine”).
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.

Selecting reverse gear(vehicle stationary)
Vehicles with manual gearbox: follow
the grid drawn on knob 1, and depend-
ing on the vehicle, lift ring against the
gear lever knob to select reverse.
Vehicle with automatic gearbox: refer
to the information on the “Automatic
gearbox” in Section 2.
The reversing lights will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected (with
the ignition on).

GEAR lEVER
An impact to the underside
of the vehicle (e.g.: striking
a post, raised kerb or other
street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de -
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.
When stationary and de -
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand -
brake at least two extra notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear)
for vehicles with a manual gearbox
or position P for vehicles with an au-
tomatic transmission.

ENG_NU_813-11_FK61_Renault_2
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti -
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored.
The green
 and  indicator lights
on the instrument panel go out, con -
firming that the function is deactivated.
Recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been stored, it is possi-
ble to recall it by pressing button 5 (R),
on condition that you are driving faster
than 20 mph (30 km/h) and that you are
sure that the road conditions are suit -
able (traffic, road surface condition,
weather conditions, etc.).
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the speed limiter is sus -
pended, pressing buttons 2 (+) or
3 (-) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into
neutral if the vehicle has an auto -
matic gearbox;
– press switch 4 (O).
In all three cases, the cruising speed is
stored.
Standby is confirmed when the green
 indicator light goes out and the
“stored” message appears on the in -
strument panel.
CRUISE CONTROl/SPEED lIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

Display A on the instrument panel
shows the mode and gear selected.
P: park
R: reverse
N: neutral
D: automatic mode (in forwards gear
only)
2: displays gear engaged in manual
mode.
Operation
With the gear lever in position P or N,
switch on the ignition.
With your foot on the brake pedal
(warning light 3 goes out), shift from
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.
To move out of position P, you must
depress the brake pedal before
pressing the unlocking button.

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.
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.

Operating faults
– When driving, if the message
“Check gearbox” and the
©
warning light appear on the instru -
ment panel, this indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– When driving, if the message
“Gearbox overheating” appears on
the instrument panel, drive at a mod-
erate speed and avoid leaving the
lever in the D (or R) position, where
traffic conditions allow: always return
to the N position when you stop.
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.
AUTOMATIC GEARbOx (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
With the 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 cases
In certain driving conditions (eg.:
engine protection, operation of the
Electronic Stability Program) the auto -
mated system may change the gear au-
tomatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu -
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.

Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi -
tion D, keeping the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking 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 approved
dealer.

– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
select second gear manually before
starting the engine to avoid wheel -
spin when starting.
Parking the vehicleWhen 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.
Special circumstances
– Snow position: if you are driving on
ground where you are likely to skid
(snow, mud, etc.), press switch 4 ,
and operating tell-tale 5 will come
on.
Once these special driving con -
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 4
again. Operating tell-tale light 5
goes out.

– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (eg. in the mountains), we rec-
ommend that you change to manual
mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gear 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..
