Automatic Gearbox - Renault Laguna III Manual

Automatic gearbox: Precautions for the repair
AJ0
I - SPECIFICATIONS
Weight: 100 kg
The AJ0 is fitted with systems known as: "Shift Lock"
and "Lock Up".
"Shift Lock" inhibits movement of the gear selector le-
ver unless the brake pedal is depressed simultaneous-
ly. To unlock the lever when the battery is faulty
and carry out repair operations, refer to the Driv-
er's Handbook.
The aim of converter Lock Up is to connect the auto-
matic gearbox directly to the engine. This function is
carried out by a "mini clutch" in the converter. Lock Up
is controlled by the automatic gearbox computer.
As the automatic gearbox is lubricated under pressure,
lubrication is only provided when the engine is running.
As a result of this fact, and to avoid serious damage, it
is essential to comply with the following instructions:
- never allow the vehicle to coast with the ignition
switched off (e.g. when going down a hill); we cannot
stress too strongly the harm that this may cause,
- never push the vehicle (e.g. to get to a petrol station,
unless the recommended precautions have been tak-
en (see Vehicle: Towing and lifting) (02A, Lifting
equipment).
In addition, the vehicle is only under traction if the en-
gine is running. It is therefore impossible to start the
engine of a vehicle with an automatic gearbox by push-
ing the vehicle.
