2016 RENAULT MEGANE COUPE CABRIOLET engine

2.40
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.
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.
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, or electronic stabil-
ity program (ESP) operational etc.): the
automatic system may change gear au-
tomatically.
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 TRANSMISSION (2/3)
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
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 ap-
proved Dealer.

3.2
RETRACTABLE GLASS ROOF: conditions of use (1/2)
Conditions of use
– Immobilise the vehicle on flat, level ground (not with two wheels on a
kerb, for example) away from traffic.
– Perform the procedure with the engine running (risk of battery dis-
charging) and the vehicle stationary.
– To prevent the hydraulic system overheating, it is automatically cut
off after about 3 minutes of use. It
becomes operational again after a
maximum of about 10 minutes.
– Never retract the roof into the lug- gage compartment when it is wet.
– Make sure that the roof seals and run channels are clean to allow rain-
water to drain away quickly.
– Ensure that no luggage is placed above the luggage separator in the
luggage compartment.
Do not drive with the roof
in the intermediate position
(neither open nor closed).
Do not open or close the
roof in the wind speed of more than
25 mph (40 km/h) (risk of damage
to the roof).
To avoid all risk of injury,
ensure that nobody is in
the proximity of the moving
parts.
When opening or closing the roof,
ensure that nothing interferes with
the moving parts (roof and luggage
compartment lid).
– Do not operate the roof in minus temperatures.
– If there is any ice or snow prevent- ing the windows from lowering when
the roof is operating, this ice or snow
must be removed to free the win-
dows.
Note: the operation is only possible
when the vehicle is stationary.
Special feature of vehicles equipped
with parking distance control
The system is designed to aid parking,
and under no circumstances guaran-
tees a sufficient distance to operate the
retractable roof. Before operating the
roof, ensure that the surrounding space
is greater than the minimum required
distance.
In all cases, a continuous sound indi-
cates that the roof cannot move.

3.4
RETRACTABLE GLASS ROOF: opening
Before opening the roof
– Perform the procedure with the engine running (risk of battery dis-
charging) and the vehicle stationary.
– Ensure that the boot divider 1 is well
tensioned and that the boot is fully
closed.
Note: If one of these conditions is
not met, the message “Roof: shut
boot blind” or “Roof: see handbook”
appears on the instrument panel.
– Ensure that no object has been left in the part reserved for the roof (above
the divider 1).
– Make sure that no object is pushing up the boot divider 1.
– Make sure that no object projects above the boot divider 1.
– Check that no object has been left on the roof, on the luggage compart-
ment lid or on the parcel shelf behind
the rear headrests.
– Remove any ice or snow (risk of seal damage).
To avoid all risk of injury,
ensure that nobody is in
the proximity of the moving
parts.
When opening or closing the roof,
ensure that nothing interferes with
the moving parts (roof and luggage
compartment lid).

tion raises all the windows.
Release the switch. You can now drive.
Before closing the roof
– Perform the procedure with the engine running (risk of battery dis-
charging) and the vehicle stationary.
– Ensure that the luggage compart- ment divider is well tensioned and
that the tailgate is fully closed.
Note: If one of these conditions is
not met, the message “Roof: shut
boot blind ” or “ Roof: see handbook”
appears on the instrument panel.
– Make sure that there are no objects in the space between the different
parts of the roof and above the lug-
gage compartment divider.
– Check that no objects have been left on the tailgate or on the parcel shelf
behind the rear headrests.

3.14
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-
ing or decreasing the value dis-
played will not allow the com-
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.
You are recommended to use automatic mode by selecting one of the auto-
matic programmes AUTO, SOFT or FAST.
In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning
functions are controlled by the system.
You can also change the system selection. In this case, the indicator lig\
ht on the
button 3 will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by \
the
system, will be shown on the display 12.
To return to automatic mode, press one of the AUTO, SOFT or FAST programmes.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (3/5)
Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Press switch 8 to switch off the air
conditioning; the integrated indicator
comes on and “A/C OFF” is shown on
display 12.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Advice for reducing
consumption and therefore
helping to preserve the
environment:
Drive with the air 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 Maintenance
Document for your vehicle for the in-
spection frequency.Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault:
– reduction in de-icing, demist-
ing or air conditioning per-
formance. 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.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, venti-
lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you
may notice that condensation starts
to form on the windows and wind-
screen.
If there is condensation, use the
“Clear View” function to remove it,
then use the air conditioning in auto-
matic mode to stop it forming again.
If the condensation does not clear,
use the FAST programme.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Note
Presence of water under the ve-
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.
