CRUISe CoNtRoL/SPeeD LIMIteR: cruise control function (4/4)
Putting the function on
standby
The function is suspended when you:
– the switch 4 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into
neutral if the vehicle has an auto -
matic gearbox.
In all three cases, the cruising speed re-
mains stored and the message “Stored”
appears on the instrument panel.
Standby is confirmed when indicator
light
goes out. Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road condi
-
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface,
weather conditions, etc.). With a ve -
hicle speed above 20 mph (30 km/h),
press switch 5 (R).
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 cruise control is sus -
pended, pressing switches 2 (+)
or 3 (-) reactivates the function with-
out taking into account the stored
speed: it is the speed at which the
vehicle is moving that is taken into
account.
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 instrument panel indicator
lights go out, confirming that the func -
tion is deactivated.
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.

Driving in automatic mode
Select position D. In most traffic con -
ditions, 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 particu-
lar driving style you have chosen.
economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
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.

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.
a pply the handbrake or, depending
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
Special circumstances
– If the road contours and bends
do not allow you to stay in auto -
matic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),
we recommend that you change 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 , to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few mo-
ments before shifting the selector
lever from position P or N and en -
gaging D or R.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhe -
sion, change to manual mode and
select second gear before starting
the engine to avoid wheelspin when
starting.
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever 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
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, electronic stability
program (ESP) operational etc.: ESC),
the “automatic system” may change
gear automatically.
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.
aUtoMatIC GeaRBox (2/3)
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.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.

Before towing, unlock the steering
column: with the clutch depressed,
engage first gear (lever in position n
or r for vehicles with automatic trans -
missions), insert the RENAULT card in
the card reader then press the engine
start button for two seconds.
The column is unlocked, the acces -
sory functions are supplied: the vehi -
cle lights can be used (indicators, brake
lights etc.). At night the vehicle must
have its lights on.
Once you have finished towing, press
the engine start button twice (risk of
running down the battery).
The speed specified by current legis -
lation for towing must always be ob -
served. If your vehicle is the towing
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum
towing weight for your vehicle (refer
to the information on “Weights” in
Section 6).
Towing
tOWInG : breakdown
towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the trans-
mission is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the front wheels
off the ground.
u nder exceptional circumstances ,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going for -
ward, with the gear lever in the n posi-
tion, and for a distance not exceeding
30 miles (50 km).
– 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).

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, insert a rigid
rod in the hole 1, press the rod and
unlocking button located on the gear
lever knob simultaneously.
