QUICKSHIFT 5 GEARBOX
Audible warning
– If you hold the vehicle on a slope
for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, you will strain
the system (risk of overheating the
clutch).
In this case, an intermittent beep-
ing sound will remind you that you
should put your foot on the brake
pedal or apply the handbrake.
– Never leave the vehicle with the
engine running and a gear engaged,
even if the handbrake is applied.
For safety reasons you will hear an
intermittent beeping sound when you
open the door if you have not shifted
into neutral or you have not switched
off the ignition or depressed the
brake pedal.
2.28
(continued)
– Your vehicle will not start: you can
push the vehicle to start the engine,
provided the battery is not flat (dis-
play lit).
Proceed as follows:
– switch on the ignition;
– select neutral;
– push or tow the car or run it down
a slope until you reach the speed
at which the warning buzzer is
activated. This will indicate that
moving the selector lever for-
wards will engage the gear most
suited to starting the engine.
Note: never attempt this operation in
reverse.
Operating faults
I
When driving, if this warning
light comes on, 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 consult 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 exam-
ple).
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.
