SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection equipment which prevents the engine speed being exceeded irrespective of the gear selected.
Running out of fuel
You may start the engine normally after refilling the fuel tank even if you have completely run out of fuel, provided that the battery is fully charged.
However, if the engine fails to start after a few seconds and several attempts, contact an approved Dealer.
Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully
charged;
– always keep the diesel tank rela
- tively full to avoid water vapour con- densing in it and accumulating at the bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations where combustible sub- stances or materials such as grass or leaves can come into con- tact with the hot exhaust system.

As a guide, this type of cleaning should take up to 20 minutes.
If the © warning light comes on, accompanied by the message “Check antipollution”, consult an approved Dealer as soon as possible.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection equipment which prevents the engine speed being exceeded irrespective of the gear selected.
Special features of diesel versions fitted with a particle filter
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations where combustible sub- stances or materials such as grass or leaves can come into con- tact with the hot exhaust system.
When driving, depending on the grade of fuel used, it is possible that white smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter being cleaned automatically, and does not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Warning light
1 Ü comes on to indi- cate a filter saturation risk.
To clean the particle filter, for 60 miles (100 km) after the message appears, drive at an average speed of at least 24 mph (40 km/h), where suitable traf- fic conditions and the speed limit will allow, until the warning light goes out. You may need to restart the operation if the vehicle has to stop before the warn- ing light goes out.

Advice: antipollution, fuel economy and driving
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
Your vehicle complies with criteria for recycling and recovering vehicles at the end of their service life which will come into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there- fore been designed to facilitate future recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so that they can be recovered and reprocessed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti- pollution regulations. The manufac- turer is actively striving to reduce pol- lutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy. But the fuel consumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are also your re- sponsibility. Ensure that it is maintained and used correctly.
Aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, in order to optimise consumption, an indicator light on the instrument panel will inform you of the best moment to upshift or down- shift gears:
ä upshift a gear;
æ downshift a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to respect antipollution regulations could lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel supply system and exhaust components with parts other than those originally recommended by the manu- facturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and checked by an approved dealer, in ac- cordance with the instructions given in your Maintenance Service Booklet: they will have all the equipment nec- essary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.
Engine adjustments– ignition: this does not require ad- justment.
–
spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, efficiency and performance the specifications laid down by our Design Department must be strictly applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an approved dealer for this.
–
idle: this does not require adjust- ment.
–
air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele- ment reduces performance. It must be replaced.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are not really needed. However (safety first), keep your lights on when the visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
w i n d o w s o p e n a t 6 0 m p h ( 1 0 0 k m / h ) w i l l i n c r e a s e f u e l consumption by 4%.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits in between) because the engine never reaches its normal operating temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
–
In vehicles fitted with air condi- tioning, it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (espe- cially in urban conditions) when it is used. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few mo- ments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob
- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.

Environment
ENVIRONMENT
Your vehicle has been designed with respect for the environment in mind for its entire service life: during production, use and at the end of its life.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured in a factory which complies with the strictest environmental standards. Furthermore, a system has been imple- mented for checking all of the vehicle components.
Emissions
Our vehicles are fitted with a particle filter system that includes a catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor and an active carbon filter (the latter prevents vapour from the petrol tank being re- leased into the open air).For certain diesel vehicles, this system also has a particle filter to reduce the volume of soot particles emitted.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95% recoverable, in line with European requirements that will come into force in 2015.
To achieve these objectives, many of the vehicle components have been de- signed to enable them to be recycled. The materials and structures have been carefully designed to allow these com- ponents to be easily removed and re- processed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re- sources, this vehicle incorporates nu- merous parts made from recycled plas- tics or renewable materials (vegetable or animal-derived materials such as cotton or wool).
Make your contribution towards protection of the environment too.
– Worn parts replaced in the course of
routine vehicle maintenance (vehi- cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter- ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or filled with used oil) must be disposed of through specialist organisations.
– At the end of the vehicle’s service
life, it should be sent to approved centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis
-
lation.

t)ENG_NU_853-3_BCSK85_Renault_2
This system helps to keep control of the vehicle in critical driving situations (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip when cornering, etc.) and works in conjunc- tion with the ‘understeer control’ system.
Electronic Stability Program: ESP
This function is an addi- tional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav- iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum- stances replace the vigilance or re- sponsibility of the driver when ma- noeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden in- cidents which may occur when driv- ing).
When the E.S.P. function starts oper-
ating, warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompa- nied by the ‘traction control deselected’ message when the engine is started, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the E.S.P. in the case of pronounced understeering (loss of front axle road holding).
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 the direction se- lected by the driver and the actual di- rection of the vehicle and corrects this as necessary by applying the brakes selectively and/or acting on the engine power.

Deactivating the A.S.R.
function results in the E.S.P. function being deactivated. Refer to the information on the “Traction control: ASR” on the following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat- ing fault the message “Check ESP” ap- pears on the instrument panel along
with warning lights © and A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
The function is deactivated by pressing
switch 1; warning light A will come on to warn you that the system has been deactivated.
This action also deactivates the trac- tion control mechanism: the message ‘ASR deselected’ appears on the in- strument panel. Refer to the informa- tion on “Traction control” in the follow- ing pages.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automati- cally when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function when travelling above a threshold of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

The cruise control function helps you to maintain your driving speed at a speed that you choose, called the cruising speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
Cruise control
This function is an addi- tional driving aid. However, the function does not take the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum- stances replace the driver’s respon- sibility to respect speed limits and to be vigilant (the driver must always be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in heavy traffic, on undulating or slip- pery roads (black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
The cruise control function is in no way linked to the braking system.
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Cruising speed activation, storage and increase switch (+).
3 Cruising speed activation, storage and decrease switch (-).
4 Switch the function to standby (with memorisation of governed cruising speed) (O).

ENG_UD10569_1Aide au parking (X85 - B85 - C85 - S85 - K85 - Renault)ENG_NU_853-3_BCSK85_Renault_2
Parking distance control
This function is an addi- tional aid that indicates the distance between the vehi- cle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or respon- sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always pay atten- tion to sudden incidents during driv- ing: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when manoeu- vring.
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the vehi- cle’s rear bumper, measure the dis- tance between the vehicle and an ob- stacle when reversing.
This measurement is indicated by beeps which become more frequent the closer you come to the obstacle, until they become a continuous beep when the vehicle is approximately 30 centi- metres from the obstacle.
There is a beep when changing to re- verse gear.
Note: make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating fault there will be a 5-second, contin- uous warning beep when reverse gear is selected. Consult an approved dealer.
PARkING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
When the vehicle is being driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), certain noises (motorcy- cle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the beeping sound.

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving in town) when the air conditioning is operating. For vehi- cles fitted with manual air condition- ing, switch off the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:
Drive with the air vents open and the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for the in- spection frequency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap- proved dealer in the event of an op- erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist
- ing or air conditioning perform- ance. This may be caused by the passenger compartment filter cartridge becoming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.
Do not open the refriger- ant fluid circuit. The fluid may damage eyes or skin.
Notes
Presence of water under the ve- hicle. After prolonged use of the air conditioning system, it is normal for water to be present under the ve- hicle. This is caused by condensa- tion.
Do not add anything to the vehicle’s ventilation circuit (for example, to remove bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of fire.
