Automatic Transmission - Renault Lodgy Driver's Handbook Manual

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left into the M
position. Shifting the lever repeatedly
allows you to change gears manually:
– to move down through the gears,
push the lever forwards;
– to move up through the gears, push
the lever backwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.

Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g. re-
quiring engine protection, operation of
the Electronic Stability Program: ESC)
the automatic system may change the
gear automatically. Likewise, to prevent
incorrect manoeuvres, a gear change
may be refused by the automatic
system: in this case the gear display
flashes for a few seconds as a warning.
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.

Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode. This will prevent the
automatic gearbox from changing
gear repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
– On a slippery surface or surface
with little grip, change to manual
mode M and select second gear
before accelerating to avoid wheel-
spin.
When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.
