Power-up
Flick the vehicle’s power supply switch (1) into the up (on) position.
The home page appears when dashboard display first comes on, and then moves to one
of the driver pages.
Starting
Once the vehicle’s electrics are on, flick the vehicle's ignition switch (12) to the up (on)
position.
Check that the car is not in gear (the letter “N” should be displayed on one of the display
screen’s driver pages).
Press on the start button (2) whilst lightly pressing on the accelerator until the engine
starts.
The vehicle will only start if all of the electronic equipment is connected
(Dashboard, Calculator and the New Technology Battery Master Switch) and
working properly.
Except in the event of an emergency stop, you are not advised to turn off the
engine using the power supply switch (1). You also recommended to wait 30
seconds between switching off the engine and switching off the power supply.
Respecting these two recommendations will guarantee optimum operation of
the power steering.
Flick the car’s electrical power supply switch (1) to the down position (off) and hold
there for at least half a second. The dashboard display is switched off.
Note: Switching off the power supply also switches off the engine.

Changing gear
- Gearshift lever
- Principle
Pull the gear lever to upshift, push the gear lever to downshift. The gear selected is
displayed on the dashboard screen, on the “driver” pages and on the “gear channels”
page.

Speed limiter
The purpose of this function is to limit the vehicle's speed to 60kph. It is enabled and
disabled by the driver.
It is enabled and disabled using button (11) on the dashboard.
- Principle
Flicking the speed limiter switch (11) to the up position (on) triggers the speed limitation
procedure.
Engine revs are thus limited to those corresponding to a speed of 60kph.
Note: The speed limiter does not control the brakes. Consequently, the vehicle
speed will only slow rapidly to 60kph if the driver applies the brakes.
When the speed reaches 60kph, with the exception of the specific conditions described
below, vehicle speed is then controlled by the ECU. The message “Pit Limiter” appears on
the display.
To disable the speed limiter mode, the driver must flick the switch (11) to the down
position (off). The message “Pit Limiter” disappears on the display.
- Specific conditions
The driver may only enable and disable the speed limiter when the vehicle is in one of
the first three gears.
The rain light is switched on by flicking the rear rain light switch (10) to the up position
(on).
The light is on continuously when enabled.
When the speed limiter function is enabled and the vehicle speed is less than
equal to 60kph (flashes at 0.5Hz).
For a period of 20 seconds after the engine stalls (flashes at 1Hz).
Switch off the main power supply (switch (1) on the control panel).
Press the accelerator pedal to the floor.
Switch on the vehicle's electrics (switch (1) on the control panel) while keeping
the accelerator pedal pressed for at least 5 seconds.
Check that the value of oil pressure have been reset.
Notes: This operation must be performed with the vehicle on a flat, level surface.
This operation also resetting the accelerometer and brake pressure
sensors.

To move the seat forwards or backwards, unscrew the brackets from the body floor,
place the seat in the required position and the re-screw the brackets in the appropriate
holes (1).
The height and angle of the seat may be adjusted in similar fashion by altering its
attachment points on the brackets (2).
B-17
1.6.5 VENTILATION
The fuel level (1) is shown on the display’s “engine channels” page.
Once the vehicle’s electrics are switched on (switch (1) on the control panel) and
until the ignition is next enabled (switch (12) on the control panel), the volume
displayed (1) corresponds to the amount of fuel recorded by the fuel tank gauge.
One second after enabling the ignition (switch (12) on the control panel), the
volume indicated by the gauge is saved if the following conditions are met:
x Vehicle speed is zero.
x Engine speed is zero (engine off).
x There is no electrical fault on the gauge.
After being driven, in order to update the volume of fuel displayed using
information from the gauge, the vehicle’s electrics must be switched off and
switched back on (switch (1) on the control panel).
Note: In order that the information displayed regarding fuel volume is as accurate
as possible, you are advised to update the gauge when the vehicle has its
wheels fitted and is at rest on a flat surface.

Use
The extinguishing system is controlled by a unit located next to the fire extinguisher,
on the right of the driver.
3
2
The driver presses on the button (7) on the control panel on the
dashboard.
The extinguishing system will only be triggered if the switch (2) is in the up
position (on).
The control unit is delivered without batteries in order to avoid any accidental
triggering of the extinguishing system. Ensure that you install a battery in the
control unit’s compartment (4) before using the vehicle for the first time.
B-21
2010 Release
Checks
Serial number.
Capacity and weight or volume of
extinguisher product.
Activation date or date of last
system check.
Date of next service.
Homologation number.
- Pressure check
To check that the extinguisher is working properly, flick the switch (2) to the down
position (off-test) and press on one of the three trigger buttons.
If the test ok LED (3) lights up, the extinguisher and its control circuits are working
properly.
If it does not light up, check the extinguisher control unit’s wiring.
1.7.2 CIRCUIT-BREAKER
B-22
2010 Release
The presence of the window safety net (ref. 77 11 160 041) on the driver
side of the roll cage is mandatory.
It is mandatory for foam (ref 77 11 160 040) to be placed on all parts of the
roll cage with which the driver’s helmet may come into contact.
The seats (original part ref: 77 11 160 035 and XL version part ref: 77
11 160 192) and the harness (ref 77 111 160 036) are compatible with the
HANS system.
A passenger seat may be installed on Clio Cup using the supports with part ref 77
11 160 381.
So as not to damage the fire extinguisher and the extinguisher lines, it is essential to
comply with the following passenger seat settings:
Front of vehicle
The seat must be positioned towards the rear, in the second to last position (1).
The seat must be positioned in the highest position (2).

1.8 BALLAST
These plates must be mounted on the body using two drilled head bolts with part ref
77 11 160 302 (sold in sets of 2).
In all cases, these ballast plates will be fixed at the seat rail sites, between these ones
and the frame (refer to the current Technical Regulations).
