Renault Captur problems: Anti-pollution system and gearbox

I own a 2016 Renault Captur, petrol engine, with 191000 km. The car won't start and I've noticed the messages 'check anti-pollution system' and 'check auto gearbox'. What do these messages mean and how should I proceed to solve the problems? Any advice or similar experience would be very helpful.

Summary of the thread

A 2016 Renault Captur with a petrol engine is experiencing starting issues and displaying 'check anti-pollution system' and 'check auto gearbox' messages. Possible causes include a weak or dead battery, issues with the engine guard installation interfering with transmission components, or underlying transmission problems. Suggested solutions involve checking the battery and its connections, scanning for error codes, and ensuring the engine guard isn't obstructing any parts. If problems persist, consulting a mechanic for a thorough inspection is recommended.

Start by checking the battery and its connections, as a weak or dead battery can cause starting issues and trigger warning messages. Ensure the battery terminals are clean and tightly connected. If the battery is fine, consider scanning the car for error codes to get more specific information about the issues. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions.

The car has an automatic transmission and the engine starts on the first try, but it doesn't move from a standstill. I bought it used and changed the oil. It didn't have an engine guard. I bought one and after installing it, it started having these problems. It stopped in a roundabout and wouldn't move from its spot.

Thank you very much. I will do so.

Check if the engine guard installation is interfering with any transmission components or sensors. Ensure that nothing is obstructing the gear linkage or any wiring. If the issue persists, it might be best to have a mechanic inspect the transmission system, as this could be a safety concern. Let me know if you have any further questions or updates.
