QUICKSHIFT 5 GEARBOX(continued)
Horn
•If you keep the vehicle on a slope
for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, there is a
risk that the clutch will overheat.
In this event, an intermittent beep
will remind you that you should
put your foot on the brake or
apply the handbrake.
• Never leave the vehicle with the
engine running when in gear.
For safety reasons you will hear
an intermittent beep when you
open the door if you have not
shifted into neutral or you have
not switched off the ignition or
pressed the brake pedal.• Your vehicle will not start:
you can start the engine when the
vehicle is moving if the battery is
not discharged (display lit up).
Proceed as before:
- switch on the ignition
- select neutral
- push or tow the car or run it
down a slope until you reach the
speed at which the warning
buzzer is activated. This will
indicate that moving the
selector lever forwards will
engage the gear most suited to
starting the engine.
Note:never attempt this in reverse.
Operating faults
When driving,ifthis
warning light comes on, it
indicates a fault in the
system.
In most cases, you may still drive
the vehicle, although it will not
function perfectly. However, you
should consult a Renault Dealer as
soon as possible.
Towing a vehicle with a
sequential gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
- switch on the ignition
- select neutral with yourfoot on
the brake
- check that the gearbox is in neutral
(by pushing the vehicle, for
example).
If you cannot find neutral you must
tow the vehicle with the front
wheels raised.
Towing should always take place
with the ignition switched off.

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).

HEATING - VENTILATION(continued)
• Position
For improved efficiency, close the
dashboard air vents.
All the air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisters and the side
window demisters.•Position (Isolation
position)
This position prevents any air from
entering (regardless of the position
of controlC). This allows the
passenger compartment to be
isolated from the external
environment (driving through
polluted areas, etc.).
Prolonged use of the ISOLATION
position may cause the windows to
mist up.
We recommend that another
position is selected as soon as the
polluted area is left behind.
Adjusting the amount of air
supplied to the passenger
compartment
Move controlCfrom0to4.
Passenger compartment ventilation
is by blown air. The blower
determines how much air enters but
car speed has some effect on this.
The further the control is positioned
to the right, the greater the volume
of air blown into the passenger
compartment.
