Renault Master (2018 year). Manual — part 10

2.36

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is deacti-

vated if you press switch 5: in this case

a speed is no longer memorised.

The



and



indicator lights on the

instrument panel go out, confirming that

the function is deactivated.

Recalling the cruising speed

If a speed is memorised, it can be re-

called, once you are sure that the road

conditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-

face, weather conditions, etc.).
With a vehicle speed above 20 mph

(30 km/h), press switch 4 (R).
Note: if the speed previously stored is

much higher than the current speed,

the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly

to reach this threshold.

When the cruise control is set to

standby, pressing switch 1 (+) re-

activates the cruise control func-

tion 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.

Putting the function on

standby

The function is set to standby if you:

– press button 3 (O);

– the brake pedal;

– depress the clutch pedal or shift into

neutral if the vehicle has an auto-

matic gearbox.

In all three cases, the cruising speed

remains stored and the message

“SPEED MEMORY” appears on the in-

strument panel.

Standby is confirmed when the green



indicator light goes out.

VEHICLE WITH OVERSPEED FUNCTION

The vehicle speed may be permanently

set at a fixed value depending on the

vehicle or on local legislation.
To adjust the value or activate/deacti-

vate the function, consult an approved

dealer.
In the event of statutory limits (depend-

ing on the vehicle), this function may

not be deactivated.
Label 1 attached to the dashboard

shows the speed limit.

Special case: if your vehicle is fitted

with the Cruise control/Speed limiter,

fully depressing the accelerator pedal

(beyond the kickdown point) will not

allow you to exceed the overspeed

function set speed (refer to the informa-

tion on the “Speed limiter” in Section 2).

In exceptional circumstances (e.g.

steep gradient), the overspeed

function speed may be exceeded

slightly as the function does not

affect the braking system.

The function does not take

the place of the driver.

Under no circumstances

should it replace observa-

tion of speed limits nor vigilance

and responsibility on the part of the

driver.

2.38

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

(1/2)

This function is an addi-

tional aid that indicates the

distance between the vehi-

cle and an obstacle whilst

reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it

replace the driver’s care or respon-

sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready

for sudden incidents while driv-

ing: always ensure that there are

no small, narrow moving obstacles

(such as a child, animal, pushchair,

bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind

spot when manoeuvring.

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the vehi-

cle’s rear bumper, measure the dis-

tance between the vehicle and an ob-

stacle when 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 centi-

metres from the obstacle.
There is a beep when reverse gear is

engaged. If the beep sounds for a long

time (about 3 seconds), this signals an

operating fault.
The parking distance control system

does not take into account towing and

load carrying systems etc.
Note: make sure that the ultrasonic

sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,

snow, etc.).

An impact to the underside

of the vehicle (eg. striking

a post, raised kerb or other

street furniture) may result

in damage to the vehicle (eg. defor-

mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved Dealer.

2.39

Prolonged deactivation of the

system

You can deactivate the system perma-

nently by pressing and holding switch 1.
The warning light built into the switch

remains lit constantly.
The deactivated system can be re-

activated by pressing and holding the

switch again.

Temporary deactivation of

the system

Press switch 1 to deactivate the system.
The indicator light built into the switch

lights up to remind you that the system

is deactivated.
Pressing the switch again will react-

ivate the system and switch off the in-

dicator light.
The system is automatically reactivated

after the ignition is switched off and the

engine restarted.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operat-

ing fault, a beep sounds for about

3 seconds as a warning. Consult an ap-

proved dealer

REVERSING CAMERA

(1/2)

Operation

Moving into reverse gear, the camera 1

located on the tailgate or, depending

on the vehicle, on the rear hinged door,

provides a view of the area behind the

vehicle on the rear-view mirror 2 or, de-

pending on the vehicle, on the multi-

media display 3, accompanied by two

moving or fixed guide lines 4 and 5.

Note: make sure that the reversing

camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,

snow, condensation, etc.).

Note: depending on the vehicle, you

can adjust certain settings from the

multimedia display 3. Refer to the

handbook for the equipment.

This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circum-

stances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving:

always ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such

as a child, animal, pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when

manoeuvring.

REVERSING CAMERA

(2/2)

The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation

projected on a flat surface. This in-

formation is to not be taken into ac-

count when superimposed on a

vertical object or an object on the

ground.
Objects which appear on the edge

of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in

sunshine etc.), the camera vision

may be adversely affected.
If the rear doors are open or poorly

closed, the camera display disap-

pears and, depending on the ve-

hicle, the message “BOOT OPEN”

appears.

Dynamic gauge 4 (depending on the

vehicle)

This is shown in blue on the multimedia

display 3. It indicates the vehicle tra-

jectory according to the position of the

steering wheel.

Static guide line 5:

The fixed clearance gauge comprises

coloured markers A, B and C, indicat-

ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-

tres from the vehicle;

– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-

metres from the vehicle;

– C (green) approximately 150 centi-

metres from the vehicle.

This gauge remains fixed and indicates

the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are

in line with the vehicle.
This system is initially used with the aid

of several gauges (mobile for trajectory

and fixed for distance). When the red

zone is reached, use the bumper image

to stop accurately.

switch 1 does not come on or the power

take-off is not triggered:
– with the clutch pedal depressed,

press switch 1 and release the clutch

pedal then repeat the procedure;

– or gradually release the clutch pedal.

Switching off the function

– Depress the clutch pedal;
– press switch 1. The indicator light in-

tegrated in the switch goes out after

about 2 seconds.

When the power take-off is en-

gaged, do not change gear. If it be-

comes necessary to change gear,

you must first disconnect the power

take-off.

2.43

Special feature relating to the

Stop and Start function: activation

of the “Fast Idle Speed” function

stops the engine going into standby

(refer to the information on “Stop

and Start" in section 2).

2.44

The self-locking differential controls the

torque transmitted to each rear wheel.
Depending on the grip conditions on

the road surface, and at low speeds

(under 20 mph/30 kph), this device en-

ables wheel torque to move automati-

cally, thereby providing increased grip.

This enables the grip potential of each

wheel to be used to the fullest possi-

ble extent, thereby enabling the vehicle

to run over areas with decreased grip

(e.g.: work sites, muddy ground, etc.).
Once the rear wheels return to surfaces

with normal grip (eg: return to paved

roads), the self-locking differential

device will be deactivated, sometimes

accompanied by a noise (with no con-

sequence to vehicle behaviour). You

have the option of turning this device

off yourself, once normal grip condi-

tions have resumed, by briefly releas-

ing the accelerator

SELF-LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid.
However, it does not in-

crease the vehicle’s limits

and should not encourage you to

drive more quickly.
It cannot, therefore, under any cir-

cumstances replace the vigilance or

the responsibility of the driver.

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX

(1/5)

Selector lever 1

– This allows you to shift directly from

first gear to reverse gear, to select

reverse gear and neutral and to

change gear in manual mode.

– It also allows you to switch between

manual and automatic modes at

any time, with the engine switched

on and reverse gear engaged, by

moving the lever to the left.

Note: the selector lever automatically

returns to the centre position after each

use.

– Brake pedal depressed. Push the

selector lever towards the right and

to the rear as shown on the base

of the lever, and then release it.

Reverse gear is engaged and the

letter R appears on the display.

– Release the brake pedal:

–

the engine’s idle speed is suffi-

cient for parking manoeuvres;

–

accelerate gently to reverse.

You may shift from reverse gear to a

forwards gear by pushing the lever for-

wards once the vehicle is stationary.
Note: When the vehicle is stationary,

you must depress the brake pedal to

engage or disengage a gear. Otherwise,

warning light 5 will come on.

Exactly like a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox, a vehicle equipped

with a sequential gearbox is unable to prevent the vehicle from rolling on

a slope if the handbrake is not applied or the brake pedal constantly de-

pressed.

Starting

Moving forwards (starting in neutral)
The display indicates gears N and A.
– With the brake pedal depressed,

push the selector lever forwards then

release it.

– Release the brake pedal and accel-

erate gently to move forwards.

2.47

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX

(3/5)

Operation in semiautomatic

mode (manual)

This mode can be activated at any time

when driving by pushing the lever to the

left. The mode is switched without shift-

ing up a gear.
You can initiate gear changes using the

selector lever.
To shift up a gear, push the selector

lever forwards; the accelerator pedal

does not have to be lifted.
To shift down a gear, push the selector

lever backwards; the accelerator pedal

does not have to be lifted.

The system will not tolerate a series

of up or down changes that cause the

engine to underrev or overrev.
By pushing the lever forwards twice

you can move up two gears at a time

(except if underrevving). By pushing

the lever backwards twice you can

move down two gears at a time (unless

this causes overrevving).
When decelerating with the foot off

the pedal, the gears will automatically

drop to the low engine speed limit to

avoid stalling. First gear automatically

shifts below a certain speed limit. You

can stop the vehicle at red lights or

junctions etc. by depressing the brake

pedal; there is no need to change to

neutral (N).

The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake

without accelerating (e.g. when in a

traffic jam);

– or quickly, if you release the brake

and accelerate.

Note: neutral may only be selected

when the vehicle is being driven or is

stationary when the brake pedal is

depressed (if you forget, warning

light 5 will come on).
Push the gear selector lever to the right

to engage neutral.
If the engine speed is too high or too

low, the system will choose the opti-

mum gear.
Semiautomatic mode can be deacti-

vated and reactivated at any time when

the engine is running by pushing the

lever to the left.

2.48

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX

(4/5)

Operation in automatic mode

Automatic mode is selected by default

every time the ignition is switched on.
The letter A appears on the display.

The vehicle is controlled using the ac-

celerator and the brake. Gears will

change automatically at the correct

moment and at a suitable engine speed

because the automatic mode takes the

road surface and the chosen driving

style into consideration.
Gears may be shifted manually in this

mode. Pushing the lever forwards

or backwards shifts a gear upwards

(except if there is a risk of underrev-

ving) or downwards (except if there is a

risk of overrevving).

Note: automatic mode takes account

of:
– the position and speed of depression

of the accelerator pedal to assess

driving style and select the optimum

gear;

– action on the brake pedal, to com-

mence engine braking in preparation

for a downshift.

You can stop the vehicle at red lights,

with the gear engaged, by depressing

the brake pedal; there is no need to

change to neutral (N).
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake

without accelerating (e.g. when in a

traffic jam);

– or quickly, if you release the brake

and accelerate.

Accelerating and overtaking

– Slowly depress the accelerator pedal

to accelerate gradually;

The oil level in the automatic gear-

box system reservoir varies depend-

ing on use. Adding oil is strictly

forbidden (except by qualified ap-

proved network personnel).

– to obtain maximum vehicle per-

formance regardless of the mode

selected (automatic or manual),

quickly depress the accelerator

pedal beyond the kickdown point.

The speed with which you depress the

pedal will allow you to downshift ac-

cording to the vehicle’s capabilities.

Parking the vehicle

It is possible to park in gear (for exam-

ple, on a slope):
– with the ignition on, select a gear

with your foot on the brake;

– check that a gear other than N is dis-

played on the instrument panel, then

remove the ignition key;

– apply the handbrake.
To disengage the gear, switch on the

ignition without starting the engine and

shift the selector lever to neutral with

the brake pedal depressed. Check

that N is displayed on the instrument

panel.

2.49

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX

(5/5)

Load position

When the vehicle is driven loaded,

press the 6 switch on the dashboard.
The indicator light

§

on the instru-

ment panel will light up.
Load mode is deselected every time

the engine is switched off. It will be nec-

essary to select it again.
Load mode may be used to equal effect

in both automatic and manual modes.

6

Bleep

– If you hold the vehicle on a slope

for too long without applying the

brakes or handbrake, you will strain

the system (risk of overheating the

clutch).

In this case, an intermittent beep-

ing sound will remind you that you

should put your foot on the brake

pedal or apply the handbrake.

– Never leave the vehicle with the

engine running when in gear. For

safety reasons you will hear an in-

termittent beeping sound when you

open the door if you have not shifted

into neutral or you have not switched

off the ignition or depressed the

brake pedal.

Special circumstances

On a slippery surface or surface with

little grip, change to manual mode

(A/M) and select second gear before

accelerating to avoid wheelspin.

Operating faults

i

If this warning light comes on

when the vehicle is in motion, it

indicates a fault in the system. In most

cases, you may still drive the vehicle,

although it will not function perfectly.

Contact an approved dealer as soon as

possible.

Towing a vehicle with a sequential

gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:

– switch on the ignition;

– select neutral with the brake pedal

depressed;

– check that the gearbox is in neutral

(by pushing the vehicle, for exam-

ple).

If you cannot find neutral you must tow

the vehicle with the front wheels raised.
The vehicle should always be towed

with the ignition switched off.
