QUICKSHIFT 5 GEARBOX
Operation in automatic mode
Automatic mode is selected by default
every time the ignition is switched on.
The letter A appears on the display.
The vehicle is controlled using the accel-
erator and the brake. Gears will change
automatically at the correct moment
to a speed suitable for the engine be-
cause the automatic function takes into
consideration the weight of the car, the
road surface and the chosen driving
style.
Automatic mode can be deactivated
and reactivated at any time with the
engine running by pushing the lever to
the left.
(continued)
Note:
Automatic mode takes account of:
– the position and speed of depression
of the accelerator pedal to assess
driving style and select the optimum
gear,
– action on the brake pedal, to com-
mence engine braking in preparation
for a downshift.
You can stop the vehicle at red lights,
with the gear engaged, by pressing the
brake pedal; there is no need to change
to neutral.
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam),
– or quickly, if you release the brake
and accelerate.
The oil level in the automatic
gearbox system reservoir is
variable depending on use.
Adding oil is strictly forbid-
den (except by qualified RENAULT
Network personnel).
