Kickdown - Renault Clio Workshop Repair Manual

Located at the end of the accelerator pedal travel,
this earths a circuit of the computer which, in cer-
tain cases, changes down to a lower gear.
The kickdown tends to be removed and incorpo-
rated into the end of travel of the load potentio-
meter (no wire at D on the 6 track connector). It is
adjusted by adjusting the load potentiometer (see
"Fault finding" section, checking B. Vi.958).

move the sleeve stop clip or the stop device to
obtain this result,
- carry out the check using the light or control
units,
