QUICKSHIFT GEARBOX
(continued)
Horn
•
If you keep the vehicle on a slope
for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, there is a
risk that the clutch will overheat.
In this case, an intermittent beep
will remind you that you should
depress the brake pedal or apply
the handbrake.
• Never leave the vehicle with the
engine running when in gear. For
safety reasons, if you have not
selected neutral or you have not
switched off the ignition or
depressed the brake pedal you
will hear an intermittent beep
when you open the door .
• If your vehicle will not start, you
can
make
a
'rolling'
start,
provided that the battery is not
flat (display is lit up).
Proceed as follows:
- switch on the ignition.
- select neutral,
- push or tow the vehicle or roll it
down a big enough slope.
Moving
the
selector
lever
forwards will engage the gear
most suited to starting the
engine.
Note:
never attempt this manoeuvre
in reverse.
Operating faults
If this warning light comes
on when the vehicle is in
motion, it indicates a fault
in the system.
In most cases, you
may still drive the vehicle, although
it
will
not
function
perfectly.
However, you should contact a
RENAULT
Dealer
as
soon
as
possible.
Towing a vehicle with a sequential
gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
- switch on the ignition.
- select neutral
with the brake
pedal depressed
,
- check that the gearbox is in neutral
(by pushing the vehicle, for
example).
If you cannot find neutral you must
tow the vehicle with the front
wheels raised.
The vehicle should always be
towed with the ignition switched
off.
