How the Renault Twingo recovers kinetic energy through the B-type gearbox

Model: Renault Twingo Twingo 3, Twingo III - Years 2014-2024
Part: Transmission

In this video we can see how the Renault Twingo is able to recover kinetic energy: the vehicle is equipped with an automatic gearbox with regenerative braking, so it is possible to brake simply by lifting the foot off the accelerator; in fact, when decelerating, the electric motor applies resistance to the wheels, slowing down the vehicle and generating electricity to recharge the traction battery. When the gear lever is in the "B" position, we are driving with regenerative braking, and we can also see it on the instrument panel. This mode allows you to choose the braking force on three levels: B2 is the default selected position; for more effective regenerative braking, push the lever forward to position B3, while for a less energetic braking, push the lever back to position B1. With the lever in the B position, lifting the pedal off the brake causes the car to start moving forward, and with a little practice we can understand that we can drive just by pressing the accelerator; a perfect driving style for urban traffic.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
