Renault KWID 2025 - Reverse Gear

AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
3
Driving in automatic mode
When ignition is switched ON, start
the vehicle in neutral “N” with brake
pedal pressed, rotate the gear
shifter to D to engage drive mode.
The letter ”D” appears on the dis-
play. The vehicle is controlled using
the accelerator and the brake.
Gears will change automatically at
the optimal moment.
Automatic mode takes account of:
– The position and speed of pressing
of the accelerator pedal to assess
driving style and select the optimal
gear.
– The position and speed of depres-
sion of the brake to commence en-
gine braking in preparation for a
downshift.
– If the gear does not engage to R/D
even the rotary knob is shifted, sys-
tem shifts automatically after some-
time and creates some noise from
gears.This does not indicate any
malfunction.
However, if the system does not shift
automatically, shift gear knob to “N”
and again shift to R/D in brake pedal
pressed condition. R/D indicator
and brake pedal indicator will flash
on the cluster if the rotary knob
shifted to R/D from N without press-
ing the brake pedal.
Reverse gear
With the vehicle stationary and the
engine on pressing the brake pedal,
rotate the gear shifter to R. The let-
ter R displays on the cluster. Release
the brake pedal slowly to allow vehi-
cle move in the reverse direction.
Press the accelerator pedal gently
to increase the speed.
The engine idle speed (creeping) is
sufficient for parking manoeuvres.
To drive, shift the gear from R to D by
rotating the gear rotary lever once
the vehicle is stationary. Press the
brake pedal to engage a gear when
vehicle is stationary, else, a warning
light will come on the cluster.
When stopped at traffic lights, with
the gear engaged in D, keep the ve-
hicle stationary by continuously
pressing the brake pedal without
changing the gear shifter to N.
The vehicle will move again:
- either slowly, if the brake is re-
leased without accelerating (e.g., in
a traffic jam);
- or quickly, by releasing the brake
and accelerating.
Avoid selecting D/R mode
after switching off the en-
gine.
If reverse gear not engaged proper-
ly, once the gear shifted from “N” to
“R” position. Then the system will
retry to shifting automatically. This
will take some time, noise may be
heard from gears. This however
does not indicate any malfunction.
If still reverse gear not working, and
warning buzzer sound along with
“CHECK AUTO GEARBOX’’ and de-
pending on the vehicle ”CHECK
GEARBOX” message appears on the
cluster, then follow below steps:
With the vehicle stationary,
Pressing the brake pedal, rotate the
gear shifter:
– shift towards “N” position;
and
– again, shift towards "R" position.
Now, the reverse gear engaged.
once brake pedal released then the
vehicle will move in reverse direc-
tion.
If any warning light/ message ap-
pears in the instrument panel,
please contact an approved dealer.
