Throttle Click

[milestam]

This is probably an absolutely ridiculous question that has been anwsered a million times but..

I have just recently got a Clio 182, and there is a bit at the end of the throttle that u need click through. I not 100% sure what this is for. Is it simply just going deeper into the throttle or does it have a special purpose?

It doesnt make sense to me that it simply goes deeper because it is literally 1 cm of give... I dont notice anything in particular when i click it, maybe it revs a little bit harder.. or im unobservant...

Is a switch to overide the speed limiter.

It's a switch to bypass the speed limiter

Thanks for the welcome

So if i'm not intending to go over the speed limiter, say in the first 3 gears, then is there any point in using that last bit?

From what I understand fully throttle is already reached before you have mashed it well into the carpet, but physically you will always still find yourself pushing the throttle as hard as you can!

As far as I'm aware you're already giving it 100% throttle prior to clicking that, so no. But if you're accelerating that hard for some reason with the speed limiter turned on, I'd click past it so it doesn't suddenly catch you out! But then again I'd already have turned it off.

I personally don't really use the speed limiter apart from maybe where there are SPECS cameras

i had mine linked up to Renault's 'Clip' diagnostic system which gives you the info...

100% throttle position is reached BEFORE the 'click'

as said above, the 'click' is an overide for the speed limiter

yeah but your mind plays tricks and it always feels faster on the click lol

 

[Christopher]

lol

mash it!

I have had my 182 for 2 years and did not know that it was there.

thought it was just mine!

Glad to know that I'm not the only one who had this question! Thanks for all the help guys!
