Boîte de vitesses automatique Levier Electronique (HJB - Renault)
– with the engine running, press the P
button, move the selector lever 1 one
notch forwards or backwards then
stop the engine;
– with the engine off and the ignition
on, move the selector lever 1 a notch
forwards or backwards then switch-
off the engine.
The next time the engine is restarted,
position P is engaged automatically ac-
cording to the cases described earlier.
– In cold weather, to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few sec-
onds before moving the selector
lever from position P or N and en-
gaging it in D or R.
Parking the vehicle
On vehicles equipped with the
lever 1, position P is automatically en-
gaged as well as the electronic parking
brake (on vehicles equipped) when:
– the engine is stopped;
– the driver’s seatbelt is unbuckled and
the vehicle is stopped;
– the driver’s door is opened and the
vehicle is stopped.
P is displayed on the instrument panel
and the P button warning light is on.
As position P is automatically en-
gaged when the engine is stopped, in
some situations (e.g. when using some
car washes) it may be necessary to
engage position N:
When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (result-
ing in, for example, engine protection,
operation of the Electronic Stability
Control programme: ESC etc.) the au-
tomated system may change the gear
automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
Special circumstances
– If the road type or weather condi-
tions (steep uphill slopes, sudden
downhill slopes, deep snow, sand
or mud) make it difficult to stay in
automatic mode, depending on the
vehicle, it is advisable to switch to
manual mode using the paddles.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX, ELECTRONIC LEVER (5/6)
P position must only be engaged
when the vehicle is stationary.
