Parking The Vehicle - Renault 2016 TALISMAN Handbook

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

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.
Ensure that the electronic parking
brake is engaged.
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.

Operating faults
– when driving, if the message
"CHECK AUTO GEARBOX" ap-
pears on the instrument panel, it in-
dicates a failure.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– when driving, if the message
"Gearbox overheating" appears on
the instrument panel, stop as soon
as possible to let the gearbox cool
down and wait for the message to
disappear;
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on "Towing" in Section 5.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

When setting off, if the lever is locked in
position P even though you are press-
ing the brake pedal, the lever can be
released manually. To do this, unclip
the flap 3, then insert a tool (with a hard
rod to it) into the hole 4 and press the
button 2 at the same time in order to
unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.
