CRUISE CONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: limiter function(continued)
Switching on
Press the side switch1
The indicator light lights up in the
instrument panel and the on-board
computer enters speed limiter
mode.
Limiting the speed
At a stable speed (approximately
20 mph or 30 km/h) and in the
correct gear (for vehicles with
manual gearboxes), press switch2:
the speed is stored.
Driving
When a limited speed is stored,
press on the accelerator pedal until
you reach the limited speed.
From this point, no effort on the
accelerator pedal will allow you to
exceed the programmed speed
except in an emergency (see
information on exceeding the
limited speed).
Changing the limited speed
The limited speed may be changed
by acting (pressing frequently or
continuously) on:
-button2to increase speed,
-button5to reduce speed.
If the car has the temporary display
function, the limited speed is
displayed for approximately 30
seconds.

CRUISE CONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: limiter function(continued)
Exceeding the limited speed
In the event of an emergency
It is possible to exceed the limited
speed at any moment. To do this:
depress the accelerator pedalfirmly
and fully(beyond the point of
resistance).
The speed flashes on the instrument
panel (on-board computer) to
inform you that the cruise control
speed is being exceeded.
When the emergency has passed,
release the accelerator pedal: the
speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower
than the limited speed before the
emergency.
Impossible to operate at the limited
speed
If the limited speed cannot be
maintained by the system (for
example in the event of a steep
incline), the speed will flash on the
instrument panel (on-board
computer).
Switching the function off
The speed limiter function is
interrupted when you press:
- button4,inthiscasethelimited
speed remains stored
- button1,inthiscasethelimited
speed is no longer stored.
Confirmation that the function has
been switched off is given when the
indicator light on the instrument
panel goes out.
Return to limited speed
It is possible to return to a stored
speed by pressing button3.
If the car has the temporary display
function, the limited speed is
displayed for approximately 30
seconds.

CRUISE CONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: cruising function
When road conditions permit (fluid
or motorway traffic), the cruise
control allows you to take your foot
off the accelerator while your car
continues to cruise at the speed you
have selected. This is called the
“cruising speed”.
This cruising speed may be set at
any speed at speeds of 20 mph
(30 km/h) and above.Controls

Changing the cruise control
speed
The cruise control speed may be
changed by acting (pressing
repeatedly or continuously) on:
- button2to increase speed,
- button5to reduce speed.
If the car has the temporary display
function, the limited speed is
displayed for approximately
30 seconds.
Exceeding the cruise control
speed
In the event of an emergency
Thecruisingspeedmaybe
exceeded at any time by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
The speed flashes on the instrument
panel (on-board computer) to
inform you that the cruise control
speed is being exceeded.
When the emergency has passed,
release the accelerator pedal: your
vehicle will automatically return to
the speed previously selected and
the indicator light will go out.
Impossible to operate at the speed

CRUISE CONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: cruising function(continued)
Switching the function off
The function is switched off when
you:
- press the brake pedal,
- press the clutch pedal to shift to
neutral for vehicles with
automatic gearbox,
- press button4; in this case the
selected speed remains stored,
- press button1; in this case the
selected speed is no longer stored.
Confirmation that the function has
been switched off is given when the
indicator light on the instrument
panel goes out.
Return to cruising speed
A stored speed can be recalled by
pressing button3if you are driving
at a speed of approximately 20 mph
(30 km/h).
If the car has the temporary display
function, the limited speed is
displayed for approximately 30
seconds.This function is an
additional aid to driving.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. Under no circumstances
should it replace observation of
speed limits nor vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP
This system helps you to keep
control of the vehicle in “critical”
driving conditions (avoiding an
obstacle, loss of grip in a bend...).
This function is an
additional aid in the
event of critical driving
conditions to allow the
behaviour of the vehicle to be
adapted to the driving
conditions.
However, the function does not
take the place of the driver.It
does not increase the vehicle's
limitations and should not
encourage you to drive more
quickly.
It can, thus, under no
circumstances replace the
vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the
vehicle (the driver must always
be aware of sudden incidents
which may occur when driving).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel
detects the path selected by the
driver.
Other sensors throughout the
vehicle measure the actual path.
The system compares the path
selected by the driver and the actual
vehicle path and corrects this as
necessary by applying the brakes
selectively and/or acting on the
engine power.When the function is in operation,
message1lights up to confirm this.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP(continued)
Disabling the function
The function is deactivated by
pressing switch2, warning light1
will light up to confirm this.
This action also deactivates traction
control: see the information on the
traction control system in section 2.As the ESP offers additional safety,
it is recommended that you do not
drive when the function is disabled.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing button2again.
Note:ESP is automatically
reactivated when the ignition is
switched on.
Faults
When the system detects an
operating fault, warning lights1
and3light up.
Consult your Renault Dealer.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
This system helps to limit skidding
on drive wheels and to control the
vehicle when pulling away or
accelerating.
This function is an
additional aid in the
event of critical driving
conditions to allow the
behaviour of the vehicle to be
adapted to the driving
conditions.
However, the function does not
take the place of the driver.It
does not increase the vehicle's
limitations and should not
encourage you to drive more
quickly.
It can, thus, under no
circumstances replace the
vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the
vehicle (the driver must always
be aware of sudden incidents
which may occur when driving).
Operating principle
The system uses sensors in the
wheels to constantly measure and
compare the speed of the drive
wheels and prevents them spinning.
If a wheel is tending to skid, the
system brakes automatically until
the drive delivered becomes
compatible with the level of grip.The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the action
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function is in operation,
message1lights up to confirm this.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM(continued)
Disabling the function
In some situations (driving on very
wet ground: snow, mud,... or
driving with chained wheels), the
system may reduce the engine
power to limit skidding. It is
possible to deactivate the function
by pressing switch2if this is not
desirable.
Warning light1lights up.Disabling the traction control
function also deactivates the ESP
function: refer to the information on
the ESP in section 2.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch2again.
Note:traction control is
automatically reactivated when the
ignition is switched on.
Operating faults
When the system detects an
operating fault, warning lights1
and3light up.
Consult your Renault Dealer.
