2017 RENAULT TWIZY brake light

1.6
Special cases
– At very high exterior temperatures, a safety mode is triggered. Warning
light
 comes on the instrument
panel. This mode reduces vehicle
power and can lead to its immobi-
lisation. We recommend that you
stop and allow the electrical system
to cool down, until the warning light
 goes off. The vehicle then re-
covers its performance.
– After a maximum charge for the trac- tion battery and during the first few
miles when driving the vehicle, or
during very low outside tempera-
tures, the engine brake is tempora-
rily reduced. Please adapt your dri-
ving style accordingly.
The engine brake should
under no circumstances be
used as a substitute for the
brake pedal.
Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the depth of
water is above the
lower edge of the wheel
rims.
If a water level reaches
the vehicle floor, do not re-
charge the vehicle. Please
consult an authorised
dealer.
Risk of electric shock and a risk to
life.

ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This prevents the vehicle being
driven by anyone not in possession
of the vehicle’s coded ignition key.
The vehicle is automatically protected
after the engine is switched off.
Any unauthorised work
carried out on the engine
immobiliser (computers,
wiring, etc.) could be dan-
gerous. Work must be carried out
by qualified personnel.
Operating principle
When the engine is started, warning
light 1 remains lit for a few seconds,
then goes out (refer to the information
on “Starting, stopping the engine” in
Section 2).
If the code is not recognised, the warn-
ing light flashes rapidly and the vehicle
will not start. Vehicle protection tell-tale light
After the ignition has been switched off,
warning light
1 flashes and the vehicle
is protected.
Operating fault warning light
If the warning light continues to flash or
stays lit up permanently following an at-
tempt to start the engine, this indicates
a fault in the system.
In this case, use the second key (sup-
plied with the vehicle). If the fault is still
present, contact your authorised dealer,
as only they are qualified to repair the
engine immobiliser system.
