Cornering lights
Depending on the vehicle, if the dipped
beam headlights are on when corner -
ing, and under certain driving condi -
tions (speed, steering wheel angle, for-
wards gear selected, etc.), additional
lights are switched on to light the inside
of the bend.

lighting.
Note: in the event of an operating fault
on this system, when returning from
main beam to dipped beam headlights,
the dipped beam headlight concerned
goes out and the front fog lights come
on, accompanied by the

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while.
There is a risk that they could start
the engine or operate electrical
equipment (electric windows etc.)
and trap part of their body (neck,
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has stopped completely.
Once the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer -
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as air bags and preten -
sioners will no longer operate.

Contrôle dynamique de conduite : E.S.P. avec contrôle de sous-virage (X85 - B85 - C85 - S85 - K85 - Renaul\
t)
ENG_NU_853-7_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 operat-
ing, 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.

Traction control: ASR
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).
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function begins to operate,
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.
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 automatically until the drive sup-
plied becomes compatible with the level
of grip under the wheel again.
This system helps to limit skidding on
drive wheels and to control the vehicle
when pulling away or accelerating.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in -
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Fitting new tyres
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
– it may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
– it may change the way it handles
when cornering;
– it may cause the steering to be
heavy;
– it may affect the use of snow
chains.
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
TYRES (2/3)
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss -
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss. Always use valve
caps identical to the originals and
screw them down fully.
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa -
tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the condi -
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af -
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
