WARNING
AT model: If the 4WD mode indicator is “OFF” or
the ATP warning light is “ON”, this indicates that
the automatic transmission P (Park) position will
not function and could result in the vehicle mov-
ing unexpectedly, causing serious personal injury
or property damage. Always set the parking
brake.
CAUTION
To avoid vehicle damage:
•
Do not operate the 4WD mode switch when
cornering, reversing or if the rear wheels are
spinning freely. The vehicle must be moving
straight ahead.
•
Do not move the shift lever (AT model) or re-
lease the clutch pedal (MT model) when the
4LO indicator is blinking. Failure to do this may
cause the gears to grind and damage the pow-
ertrain.
•
MT model: Do not accelerate rapidly from a
stopped position when the 4LO indicator is
blinking. Drive straight ahead at a low speed
until the 4LO indicator is lit. The 4LO indicator
blinks when shifting between <4LO> and
<4H>.
•
If the 4WD warning light comes on, perform
the following procedure:
1) Turn off the engine.
2) Start the engine.
3) Check if the 4WD warning light comes on.
If the 4WD warning light is still on after following
the above procedure, have the system checked
and serviced immediately by an approved dealer
or qualified workshop.
The transfer case 4WD mode switch is used to se-
lect either Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) or Four-Wheel
Drive (4WD) depending on the driving conditions.
Turn the 4WD mode switch to select a drive mode
(<2WD>, <4H> or <4LO>).
To change into or out of 4LO mode:
1. The vehicle MUST BE standing still.
2. Depress the clutch pedal (MT model) and the
brake pedal and move the shift lever to N (Neu-
tral) (MT model) or to the P (Park) position (AT
model).
3. Depress and turn the 4WD mode switch to
change into or out of <4LO>.
WARNING
•
When parking, apply the parking brake before
stopping the engine and make sure that the
4WD mode indicator is on and that the ATP
warning light or ATP warning message is off,
otherwise, the vehicle could unexpectedly
move even if the automatic transmission is in
the P (Park) position.
•
The 4LO indicator must stop blinking and re-
main on or turn off before shifting the trans-
mission into gear. The vehicle may move un-
expectedly if the shift lever is shifted from the
N (Neutral) position to any other gear while the
4LO indicator is blinking.
CAUTION
•
Never turn the 4WD mode switch between
<4LO> and <4H> while driving.
•
The <4H> drive mode provides greater power
and traction. Avoid excessive speed as it will
cause increased fuel consumption and higher
oil temperatures, and could damage power
train components. Speeds over 100 km/h (60
MPH) in <4H> are not recommended.
•
The <4LO> drive mode provides maximum
power and traction. Avoid raising vehicle
speed excessively. The maximum speed is ap-
proximately 50 km/h (30 MPH).
•
The 4WD mode switch can be turned between
<2WD> and <4H> while driving straight ahead.
Do not turn the 4WD mode switch while mak-
ing a turn or reversing.
•
Do not turn the 4WD mode switch between
<2WD> and <4H> while driving on steep down-
hill grades. Use the engine brake and low
transmission gears for engine braking.
•
Do not turn the 4WD mode switch between
<2WD> and <4H> with the rear wheels spin-
ning.
•
Do not drive the vehicle in <4H> or <4LO> mode
on dry, hard surfaced roads. This may cause
unnecessary noise and tyre wear. RENAULT
recommends driving in 2WD under these con-
ditions.
