As the automatic transmission is lubricated under
pressure, lubrication only occurs if the engine is
running.
Consequently, the following instructions must be
respected in order to avoid serious damage:
- Never move the vehicle with the ignition off
(when going down a slope for example), the
danger of such a measure cannot be
emphasised too greatly.
- Never have the vehicle pushed (for example in
order to reach the next service station), unless
precautions taken in the "Towing" are fol-
lowed).
In addition, the vehicle can only be driven if the
engine is running. It is therefore impossible to
start the engine on a vehicle with automatic trans-
mission by pushing the vehicle.

The front of the vehicle must be raised, however if
this is impossible towing can be carried out in ex-
ceptional cases with the wheels on the ground in
the following conditions:
1 - Add an additional 2 litres of oil to the auto-
matic transmission ("Elf Renaultmatic D2" or
Mobil ATF 220).
2 - When towing, do not exceed a speed of
25 mph (40 km/h) or a distance of 30 miles
(50 km) maximum (lever in N).
Remember to drain off the excess oil at the end of
the towing operation.
