User manual RENAULT MEGANE 3 2011

[. . . ] MEGANE DRIVER’S HANDBOOK RENAULT recommends ELF ELF has developed a complete range of lubricants for RENAULT: engine oils manual and automatic gearbox oils Warning: to ensure the engine operates optimally, the use of a lubricant may be restricted to certain vehicles. Please refer to your maintenance document. Benefiting from the research applied to Formula 1, lubricants are very high-tech products. Updated with the help of RENAULT’s technical teams, this range is perfectly compatible with the specific features of the brand’s vehicles. ELF lubricants enhance your vehicle’s performance significantly. Photo credit: Total/DPPI Imacom group RENAULT recommends approved ELF lubricants for oil changes and top-ups. [. . . ] When recalling the stored speed zone A lights up to confirm activation. Zone B lights up as soon as the cruising speed is reached. Note: if the speed previously stored is much higher than the current speed, the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly to reach this threshold. Switching off the function The cruise control function is deactivated if you press switch 1: in this case a speed is no longer stored. The instrument panel green indicator light 7 and zones A,  B and C go out, confirming that the function is deactivated. When the cruise control function is put on standby, pressing switch 2 (+) reactivates the cruise control function without taking into account the stored speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account. Putting the cruise control on standby or switching it off does not cause a rapid reduction in speed: you must brake by depressing the brake pedal. 2. 29 PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/3) Operating principle Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the front or rear bumper depending on the vehicle, measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing. This measurement is indicated by beeps which become more frequent the closer you come to the obstacle, until they become a continuous beep when the vehicle is approximately 25 centimetres from the obstacle. Front parking distance control (depending on vehicle) Operation The parking distance control system is only activated when the vehicle is driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). Most objects located less than approximately 60 centimetres away from the front of the vehicle are detected and a beep is emitted. Automatic activation/deactivation of the front parking distance control The system deactivates: – when the electronic parking brake is applied; This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals. Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibility whilst reversing. The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bicycle, etc. ) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when manoeuvring. – when the vehicle speed is above approximately 6 mph (10 km/h); – when the vehicle is stationary for more than approximately five seconds and an obstacle is detected (such as when in a traffic jam etc. ); – when the vehicle is in neutral or when the gear lever has been shifted to N or P for automatic gearboxes; 2. 30 PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/3) Automatic activation/deactivation of the rear parking distance control The system deactivates: – when the electronic parking brake is applied; – when the vehicle speed is above approximately 6 mph (10 km/h); 1 – when the vehicle is stationary for more than approximately five seconds and an obstacle is detected (such as when in a traffic jam etc. ); – when the vehicle is in neutral or when the gear lever has been shifted to N or P for automatic gearboxes. Rear parking distance control Operation When reversing, most objects located less than approximately 1. 5 metres away from the rear of the vehicle are detected and a beep is emitted. If there are obstacles located close to both the front and rear of the vehicle, only the closest of the two will be acknowledged and the corresponding front or rear beep sound will be emitted. If obstacles are detected both to the front and to the rear of the vehicle at the same time, and they are both less than 30 centimetres away from the vehicle, the corresponding front and rear beeps will be emitted alternately. An impact to the underside of the vehicle while manoeuvring (e. g. : striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e. g. : deformation of an axle). To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer. 2. 31 PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (3/3) Temporary deactivation of the system 2 (depending on the vehicle) Press switch 1 to deactivate the system. The message “Parking sensor off” is displayed to remind you that the system is deactivated. Pressing the switch again will reactivate the system and switch off the indicator light. The system will reactivate automatically each time the engine is switched off. Special features Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc. ). Operating faults When the system detects an operating fault there will be a 5-second continuous beep as a warning. Consult an approved dealer. 3 Adjusting the parking distance control volume From the vehicle settings customisation menu (refer to the information on “Vehicle setting customisation menu” in Section 1), select the line “Parking sensor volume” to adjust the parking distance control volume and confirm by pressing key 2 or 3. Prolonged deactivation of the system You may permanently activate or deactivate the front or rear parking distance control separately. From the vehicle settings customisation menu (refer to the information on the “Vehicle settings customisation menu” in Section 1), select the line “Front parking sensor” or “Rear parking sensor” then activate or deactivate the system: < = 2. 32 : function deactivated; function activated. When the vehicle is being driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), certain noises (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc. ) may trigger the beeping sound. Automatic transmission (1/3) 4 1 3 5 6 Driving in automatic mode Select position D. In most traffic conditions, you will not have to touch the gear selector lever again: the gears will change automatically at the right time and at the most suitable engine speed because the automatic system takes into account the vehicle load and road contour and adjusts itself to the particular driving style you have chosen. Economical driving When driving, always leave the lever in position D, keeping the accelerator pedal lightly depressed to ensure automatic gear changes at a lower engine speed. Accelerating and overtaking Depress the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (so that it goes beyond the kickdown point). This will enable you to change down to the optimum gear within the engine range. 2 9 8 7 Selector lever 1 Display 3 on the instrument panel shows the mode and gear selected. 4: 6: 7: P: park N: neutral D: automatic mode 5: R: reverse gear Operation With the gear lever 1 in position P, switch on the ignition.
