xAnti-lock braking warning
light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it lights up when you are driving, it in-
dicates a fault in the anti-lock braking
system.
Braking will then be as normal, without
the ABS. Contact an approved Dealer
as soon as possible.
ÔCoolant temperature warn-
ing light
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on.
If it turns red, stop and let the engine
idle for a minute or two.
The temperature should lower and the
warning light should return to a blue
colour. If not, stop the engine. Let the
engine cool down before checking the
coolant.
Contact an approved Dealer.

Electronic Stability Program
(ESP) and traction control
system warning light

seconds.
There are several reasons for the warn-
ing light to come on: please refer to the
information on “Driver correction de-
vices and aids” in Section 2.

TRIP COMPUTER AND WARNING SYSTEM: information messages
Examples of messagesInterpreting the display selected
« PARKING BRAKE ON » Indicates that the parking brake has been applied.
« PLEASE REMOVE KEYCARD » Request to remove the RENAULT card from the reader when you leave the vehicle.
« TRACTION
CONTROL OFF » Indicates that you have deactivated the traction control function.
« TURN STEERINGWHEEL + START » Turn the steering wheel slightly whilst pressing the vehicle start button\
to unlock the steering
column.
« STEERING WHEEL NOT LOCKED » Indicates that the steering column has not been locked.
These can help in the vehicle starting phase, or give information about \
a selection or a driving status.
Examples of information messages are given in the following pages.

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/5)
Electronic stability program
(ESC) with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
 flashes on the instrument panel.Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check ESC” and
warning light
© and  appear
on the instrument panel. In this case,
the ESC and traction control system
are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

2.30
Grip control
If fitted on the vehicle, grip control
makes it easier to control the vehicle on
low grip surfaces (soft ground, etc.).
Tyres
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your approved
dealer.
“Soft ground” mode
Turn the button 1: the integrated warn-
ing light
 comes on, along with
the instrument panel message “NON
GRIP ROAD MODE ON”.
This position enables optimal usage on
soft ground (mud, sand, dead leaves,
etc.). “Soft ground” mode uses traction
control functions. The system automati-
cally switches to “Road” mode after
around 25 mph (40 km/h), and the inte-
grated warning light
\b on button 1
comes on.
“Expert” mode
Turn the button 1: the integrated warn-
ing light
comes on, along with
the instrument panel message “ALL
ROADSMODE ON”.
In this position, engine speed is left
under the driver’s control. The system
automatically switches to “Road” mode
after around 25 mph (40 km/h), and
the integrated warning light
\b on
button 1 comes on.
“Road” mode
When the vehicle is started up, the
warning light
\b on button 1 comes
on, along with the instrument panel
message “STANDARD ROAD MODE
ON”.
This position enables optimal usage
under normal driving conditions (dry-
ness, humidity, light snow, etc.).
“Road” mode uses traction control func-
tions.
