AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Using
DRIVING
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 followed).
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 transmission by pushing the vehicle.
TOWING
The front of the vehicle must be raised, however if
this is impossible towing can be carried out in exceptional cases with the wheels on the ground in
the following conditions:
1 - Add an additional 2 litres of oil to the automatic 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.
