PARKING PROXIMITY SENSOR
Operating faults
When the system detects an
operating fault there will be a 5
second continuous beep as a warning
when reverse gear is selected.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer.
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors located in the
rear bumper measure the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle
when reversing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent
the closer you are to the obstacle,
until they become one continuous
beep when the obstacle is
approximately
25 centimetres from the vehicle.
Note:make sure that the ultrasonic
sensors are not blocked (dirt, mud,
snow, etc.). This function is an
additional aid that indicates
the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle
whilst reversing, using sound
signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or
responsibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always pay
attention to sudden incidents
during driving: always ensure that
there are no moving obstacles (such
as a child, animal, pram or bicycle,
etc.) or small, narrow objects such
as stones or posts in your path
when manoeuvring.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Operation
With the lever in position Por  N,
switch on the ignition.
Foot on the brake pedal (the warning
light goes out), move the lever out of
position  P.
Selector lever
The display  1on the instrument
panel informs you of the mode and
the gear engaged.
P:  park
R:  reverse
N:  neutral
D : automatic mode
4:  displays the gear engaged in
manual mode The lever must only be engaged in D
or R when the vehicle is stationary.
Foot on the brake and accelerator
pedal released.
You must apply the brake before
pressing the unlocking button to
move out of the P position.
Driving in automatic mode
Select position 
D. In most traffic
conditions, you will not have to
touch the gear selector lever again:
the gears will change automatically
at the right time and at the most
suitable engine speed because the
“automatic system” takes into
account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the
particular driving style you have
chosen.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (continued)Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stationary,
keeping your foot on the brake
pedal, move the lever to position P
(park): the gearbox is in neutral and
the drive wheels are mechanically
locked by the transmission.
Engage the handbrake.
Special circumstances
-  If the bends and hills on the road
do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in the
mountains), we recommend that
you change to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic
transmission from changing gears
repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long
descents.
-  To prevent the engine stalling in
cold weather,  start the engine and
wait a few seconds before shifting
the selector lever from position  P
or  Nand engaging it in  Dor  R.
-  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 wheelspin when starting.

“Check gearbox” along with the
warning light appears on the
instrument panel, this indicates a
fault.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer as
soon as possible.
-  when driving , if the message
“Gearbox overheating” along with
the  warning light appears on
the instrument panel, avoid leaving
the lever in position  D(or  R), traffic
permitting: systematically return to
position  Nwhile stopping.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer as
soon as possible.
-  Recovering a vehicle with an
automatic transmission : refer to
the information on Towing in
Section 5.

of a tree, etc.) it stops and then
lowers again by a few centimetres.

ELECTRIC SUNROOF (continued)
Remote closure of the sunroof
(on vehicles equipped with the one-
touch window function on all the
windows).
When you lock the doors with the
Hands-free RENAULT card and
press the locking button on the
RENAULT card or a door handle
button or the luggage compartment
button twice in quick succession,

with an anti-pinch function. When a
window encounters resistance
whilst closing (someone’s fingers, an
animal’s paw or the branch of a tree,
for example), it stops and lowers by
several centimetres.
It is therefore recommended that the
user only operates the system when
the vehicle can be seen clearly and
no one is inside the vehicle.

operate the sunroof.
Before using the sunroof, check the
objects and/or accessories (bike
racks, roof box etc.) attached to the
roof rack bars: they should be
properly arranged and secured and
should not interfere with the
operation of the sunroof.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer for
details of possible adaptations;
-  check  that the sunroof is properly
closed before leaving your vehicle;
-  clean the seal every three months
using agents selected by our
technical department;
-  Do not open the sunroof
immediately after the vehicle has
been in the rain or after it has been
washed.
Closing the sunroof can
cause severe injuries.
