2016 RENAULT KADJAR gearbox

2.42
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (4/4)
All-wheel drive system
– Irrespective of the mode selected, do not start the engine if one or mor\
e wheels are not in contact with the ground
(eg. when the vehicle is on a jack or roller bench).
– Do not turn the mode selector when cornering, reversing or if the wheels\
are spinning excessively. Only select the
“2WD”, “AUTO” or “4WD Lock” mode when the vehicle is being driven in a str\
aight line.
– Only use tyres which meet the required specifications.
– “4WD Lock” mode is exclusively reserved for driving off-road. The use of this mode in any other conditions may adversely
affect the vehicle’s manoeuvrability and damage its mechanical components.
– Always ensure tyres with identical specifications are fitted to all four\
wheels (brand, size, structure, wear etc.). Fitting tyres
of different sizes to the front and rear wheels and/or left and right wheels m\
ay have serious consequences for the tyres,
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)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
 warning light and message on the
instrument panel goes out to confirm
that the function is deactivated.
Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road con-
ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-
face, weather conditions, etc.). Press
switch
3 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled,
activation of the cruise control is con-
firmed by the illumination of the cruis-
ing speed in green, along with the mes-
sage “Check cruise control”.
NB: 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 function
is put on standby, pressing the
switch 2 on side a (+) reactivates
the cruise control function with-
out taking into account the stored
speed: it is the speed at which the
vehicle is moving that is taken into
account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– use the switch 4 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or the shift into neutral if the vehicle has an au-
tomatic gearbox.
In these three cases, the cruising
speed remains stored and the mes-
sage “Memorised” accompanied by this
speed appears on the instrument panel.
Standby is confirmed by the display of
the cruising speed in grey and the mes-
sage “Memorised”.
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.

Automatic deactivation of the
parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral for manual gearboxes, or in position N
or P for automatic gearboxes.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (5/5)
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, a beep sounds for approximately
3 seconds each time reverse gear is se-
lected and is accompanied by the mes-
sage “Check parking sensor” shown on
the instrument panel. Please consult an
authorised dealer.

2.72
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (for exam-
ple, engine protection, operation of the
Electronic Stability Programme: the au-
tomatic system may change gear auto-
matically.
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.
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface 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 gearbox from changing
gear repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
– In cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
Driving in manual mode
With the selection lever 1 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 forwards;
– to move up through the gears, push the lever backwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.

When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.

2.73
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
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.
Apply the handbrake or, depending
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can
be released manually. To do this, insert
a tool (with a hard rod) into the slot 4 to
unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.
Operating faults
– when driving, if the ‘check gearbox’
message appears on the instrument
panel, it indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– when driving, if the message
“Gearbox overheating” appears on
the instrument panel, stop as soon
as possible to let the gearbox cool
down and wait for the message to
disappear;
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
4
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an appro-
ved Dealer.

5.31
TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
Before towing, put the gearbox in neu-
tral, unlock the steering column and re-
lease the parking brake.
For vehicles fitted with an automa-
tic gearbox, if it is not possible to put
the gear lever into position N, please
consult an authorised dealer.
Steering column unlocking
Insert the key into the ignition or, de-
pending on the vehicle, having the
RENAULT card on you, press the
engine start button for approximately
2 seconds.
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi-
tion N for vehicles fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox).
The steering column unlocks, the ac-
cessory functions are powered: you
can use the vehicle’s lights (direction
indicators, brake lights, etc.). At night
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Depending on the vehicle, once you
have finished towing, press the engine
start button twice (risk of running down
the battery). The speed specified by current legisla-
tion for towing must always be obser-
ved. If your vehicle is the towing vehi-
cle, do not exceed the maximum towing
weight for your vehicle (refer to the in-
formation on “Weights” in Section 6).
Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
Transport the vehicle on a trailer or tow
it with the front wheels off the ground.
In exceptional circumstances
, you
may tow it with all four wheels on the
ground, only in a forward gear, with the
gear in neutral position N over a maxi-
mum distance of 50 miles and not ex-
ceeding a speed of 15 mph (25 km/h).

2
Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi-
cle is being towed.
If the lever is stuck in P , even though
you are depressing the brake pedal, the
lever can be released manually. To do
this, insert a tool (with a hard rod to it)
into the slot 1 and press the button 2 at
the same time to unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.
