AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (continued)Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Pushing 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
Under certain driving conditions
(e.g.: engine protection, with
electronic stability program (ESP)
operational: etc.) the “automatic
system” may change gear
automatically.
Likewise, to prevent “incorrect
manoeuvres”, a gear change may be
refused by the “automatic system”:
in this case the gear display flashes
for a few seconds as a warning.
How to drive as economically as
possible
Leave the selector in position
Don
the open road, depress the
accelerator pedal slightly to ensure
automatic gear changes at
comparatively low engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal
briskly and fully (so that it goes
beyond the kickdown point).
This will enable you to change
down to the optimal gear within the
engine range.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating advice
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an
increase in fuel consumption
(especially in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing
consumption and therefore helping
to conserve the environment:
It is advisable to drive with the
vents open and the windows
closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.Maintenance
Refer to the Warranty and Services
booklet for your vehicle for the
replacement frequency.
Operating faults
Generally, in the event of an
operating fault, consult your
RENAULT Dealer. - Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the
passenger compartment filter
cartridge becoming clogged.
- No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
- Presence of water under the
vehicle . After prolonged use of the
air conditioning system, it is
normal for water to be present
under the vehicle. This is caused
by condensation.
Do not open the refrigerant fluid
circuit. The fluid may damage the
eyes or skin.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
You should
- Frequently wash your car, with the
engine off , with cleaning products
recommended by us (never use
abrasive products) and be sure to
rinse the wheel arches and
underneath the bodywork to
eliminate:
- spots of tree resin and industrial grime;
- bird droppings , which contain
chemicals that rapidly discolour
paintwork and may even cause
the paint to peel off;
The vehicle must bewashed
immediately to remove these
marks since it is impossible to
remove them by polishing.
- salt deposited in the wheel arches and the underside of the body
after driving in areas where the
roads have been gritted,
- mud in the wheel arches and the underside of the body which
forms damp patches. - Observe the vehicle stopping
distances when driving on gravelled
surfaces to prevent paint damage.
- Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading.
- Remember to visit the body shop periodically in order to maintain
your RENAULT anti-corrosion
warranty. Refer to the Warranty
and Services booklet.
- Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway). - Before using a roller type car wash,
return the wiper stalk to the Stop
position (refer to the
Wipers/Washers information in
section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional
lights and rear-view mirrors and
take care to attach the wiper blades
and radio aerial with an adhesive.
Remove the car phone aerial if your
vehicle is fitted with this
equipment.
- Spray mechanical components, hinges, etc. with products
approved by RENAULT’s Technical
Department to protect them after
they have been cleaned.
We have selected special
products to care for your vehicle
and you can obtain these from
RENAULT accessory outlets.
