Automatic Gearbox - Renault TRAFIC 2022 User Manual

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
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
gears repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
– In cold weather, start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.
(3/4)
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move
the lever to position P while keeping
your foot on the brake pedal: the drive
wheels are mechanically locked by the
driveshaft.
Ensure that the electronic parking
brake is engaged.
Note: if the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope with position P engaged, the
message "WARNING: Apply Parking
Brake" is displayed on the instrument
panel, accompanied by a beep.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
Maintenance period
Refer to the maintenance document
for your vehicle or consult an Approved
Dealer to check whether the automatic
gearbox requires scheduled mainte-
nance.
If it does not need to be serviced, there
is no need to top up the oil.
