I am 74 just bought a 10 year old traffic sport after 12 years driving a Ford bongo no one mentioned the tiptronic when purchasing and to date I find I have no idea how to just drive automatic..I find mainly I am in auto for reverse but driving manual in drive...All the other complicated bells and whistles are very well explained in this video..I am happy to spend a couple of years just travelling and sleeping in this lovely van but thank you for your video it was tremendous help. Bongos are not known for having bells and whistles 🙄
It uses an AMT or "Automated Manual Transmission" essentially it's the same as an Automatic, except it has a clutch which the computer controls for you, my understanding is you still need to change gears like you would in a tiptronic, just without using the clutch.
@@AdelphiaaWoW Thanks for your input AKrylikz, Well I have driven the van for 6 weeks now and the difference to my old bongo is the up and down stick transmission of Automatic drive had added left to right and right and down of the manual added to AMT. I'm 74 don't like changes, but now it just happens (shows I don't have short term memory loss yet) lol I don't touch the bells and whistles, not yet anyway, thanks again, Carol
Good for you keep on going I’m just in process of buying sport version I’m 66 & love vans never had Renault before hoping it’s good will use for family & grandchildren double cab version 6 seats my old hiace is getting past it all the best
The fact that Renault has not covered the reversing camera, is a real bummer. It renders the camera essentially useless if you drive in rain, or on roads with even a tiny bit of dust. I acquired a Renault Traffic three months ago, second-hand, and the reversing camera was a real letdown.
Hi Andy According to one of our fleet specialists, they don't have daytime running lights. However the Sport does come with automatic headlights. Hope that helps?
It looks so good in black, damn!

Thank you for showing how to use indicators. Is it the same for BMW drivers?
Good video. Sounds daft to go through opening doors but the be some one out there who has never owned a van befor. 👍
Must admit I would worry about anyone who needs to be told how to open doors or how to use lights and wipers.
How do I get the jack kit out from under the seat?
Well I’m pleased I watched this... I didn’t know how to open my doors until now! 🤔
XD XD XD
Nice video. can the seats recline farther backwards without bulkhead ?

So the passenger seat can't be adjusted?
2:46 Dirty shoes!! WHY???
How can I turn on sport or race mode on the van as there are instrumental dials or sign on the digital screen next to the speed?
I’ve got one and looked over and over again. I think they must just use the digital dash from something like a clio rs that has a sport mode.
Why do i have a rear deice switch but its a van ..what does it power..sl27 2016 sport?????
I think it's for the windscreen
@@petevan8942 its for the wing mirrors
@@Dyfiwildlifephotography ah thx.. I was only guessing, I've just bought one but don't pick it up for another week
The music is way too loud..
What about the clutch pedal tat stays down?common fault
Does the van have day light running lights?
That's a very good point Andy. I will find out and come back to you
Renault Retail Group UK thanks. On a side note I know cars and lorry’s are required them. But unsure about vans. I’m guessing they are.
