IGNITION SWITCH POSITIONS
SSD0859
When the ignition switch is pushe\f without \fepressing
the brake pe\fal (Automatic Transmission/Continu\tously
Variable Transmission mo\fel) or the clutch pe\fal
(Manual Transmission mo\fel) , the ignition switch
position will change as follows:
. Push once to change to “ACC\b.
. Push two times to change to “ON\b.
. Push three times to change to “OFF\b.
. Push four times to return to “ACC\b.
. Open or close any \foor to return to “LOCK\b when
in the “OFF\b position.
The in\ficator light
*Aon the ignition switch illumi-
nates when the ignition switch is in the “ACC\b or “ON\b
position.
LOCK position
The ignition switch an\f steering lock can only be
locke\f at this position.
The ignition switch will be unlocke\f when it is pushe\f
to the “ACC\b position while carrying the Intelligent Key.
ACC position
The electrical accessory power activates at this
position without the engine turne\f on.
ON position
The ignition system an\f the electrical accessory power
activate at this position without the engine turne\f on.
OFF position
The engine is turne\f off with the steering wheel
unlocke\f.
WARNING:
Never push the ignition switch to the “OFF\b
position while driving. The steering wheel may
lock and cause the driver to lose control of the
vehicle, resulting in serious vehicle damage or
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the vehicle for extended periods of
time when the ignition switch is in the “ACC” or
“ON” position and the engine is not running.
This can discharge the battery.
NOTE:
When the ignition switch is pushed while the
Idling Stop System (if equipped) is activated, the
ignition switch will be placed in the "OFF" position.
INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY DISCHARGE
SSD0860
If the battery of the Intelligent Key is \fischarge\f, or
environmental con\fitions interfere with the Intelligent
Key operation, start the engine accor\fing to the
following proce\fure:
1.
Automatic Transmission (AT)/Continuously
Variable Transmission (CVT) model:
Move the selector lever to the “P\b (Park) or “N\b
(Neutral) position.
Manual Transmission (MT) model:
Move the shift lever to the “N\b (Neutral) position.
2. Firmly \fepress the brake pe\fal (Automatic Trans- mission/Continuousl\ty Variable Transmission mo\f-
el) or the clutch pe\fal (Manual Transmission
mo\fel) .
3. Touch the ignition switch with the Intelligent Key as illustrate\f. (A chime will soun\f.)
4. Push the ignition switch while \fepressing the brake pe\fal within 10 secon\fs after the chime
soun\fs. The engine will start.
After step 3 is performe\f, when the ignition switch is
pushe\f without \fepressing the brake pe\fal, the

ignition switch position will change to “ACC”.
NOTE:
.When the ignition switch is pushed to the
“ACC” or“ON” position or the engine is
started by the above procedures, the Intel-
ligent Key battery discharge indicator ap-
pears (on the Vehicle information display) or
the Intelligent Key system warning light may
blink in yellow (on the meter) even if the
Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. This is
not a malfunction. To stop the warning light
from blinking, touch the ignition switch with
the Intelligent Key again.
. If the Intelligent Key battery discharge
indicator appears (on the Vehicle informa-
tion display) or the Intelligent Key system
warning light in the meter is blinking in
green, replace the battery as soon as
possible. (See “Battery”(P.8-23) .)GA\fOLI\bE E\bGI\bE

. If it becomes necessary to start the engine
with a booster battery and jumper cables, the instructions and cautions contained in
the “6. In case of emergency” section should
be carefully followed.
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 seconds after starting the engine to warm-up. Drive at
moderate speeds for a short distance first,
especially in cold weather.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the
engine is warming up.

DRIVING WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMIS-
SION (AT)
The Automat\fc Transm\fss\fon (AT) \fn your veh\fcle \fs
electron\fcally controlled to produce max\fmum power
and smooth operat\fon.
The recommended operat\fng procedures for th\fs
transm\fss\fon are shown on the follow\fng pages. Follow
these procedures for max\fmum veh\fcle performance
and dr\fv\fng enjoyment.
CAUTION:
.The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting the transmission into
a forward or reverse position before the
engine has warmed up.
. Avoid revving up the engine while the
vehicle is stopped. This could cause unex-
pected vehicle movement.
. Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads.
This may cause a loss of control.
. Never shift to either the “P” (Park) or “R”
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could cause serious damage to the
transmission.
. Start the engine in either the “P” (Park) or
“N” (Neutral) position. The engine will not
start in any other position. If it does, have
your vehicle checked by a RENAULT dealer.
. Shift into the “P” (Park) position and apply
the parking brake when at a standstill for
longer than a short waiting period.
. Keep the engine at idling speed while
shifting from the “N” (Neutral) position to
any driving position.
