PROACTIVE AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (continued)
How to drive as economically as
possible
Leave the selector in position D
(drive) on the open road. Press the
accelerator pedal lightly to ensure
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
Do not use positions D3, 2, 1 or the
winter position for normal driving
conditions.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stationary,
keeping your foot on the brake
pedal, move the lever to position P
(park): the gearbox is in neutral and
the drive wheels are mechanically
locked by the transmission.
Apply the handbrake.
Operating faults
• If the lever becomes jammed in P,
even though you are depressing
the brake pedal, it can be released
manually.
To do this, release cover F.
Press both raised part G and
unlocking button A at the same
time to move the lever from
position P.
• If this warning light
comes on when you are
driving, it may indicate a
fault. Consult your Renault Dealer
as soon as possible.
If these warning lights
come on simultaneously
when the vehicle is being
driven, avoid leaving the
gear lever in D position
(or R) when stopping in traffic:
always return to N position when
stopped. Consult a Renault Dealer
as soon as possible.
• If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on towing in
section 5.
