ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad -
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through floods
if the water is above the
lower edge of the wheel
rims.
Driving– Drive carefully for the first few miles
until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi -
ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub -
stances may be released into the at -
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in -
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possi -
ble;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver ’s side, only
use mats adapted to the ve-
hicle that attach to the pre-
installed parts, and regularly check
their mounting. Do not place several
mats on top of each other.

Système antiblocage des roues : ABS (X85 - B85 - C85 - S85 - K85 - Renault)
ENG_NU_853-8_BCSK85_Renault_2
Under heavy braking, the essential re-
quirements are to limit the stopping
distance and keep your vehicle under
control. However, there is a risk that
roadholding and directional control
may be lost and the wheels may lock
under braking, depending on the nature
of the ground, weather conditions and
your reactions. The Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) has been designed to
combat this danger.
The safety enhancement is that the
brake control system prevents the
wheels from locking, even if the brakes
are applied too sharply, and allows the
vehicle to be steered and thus its direc-
tion to be controlled. Under these cir -
cumstances it is quite possible for the
driver to steer the vehicle and to avoid
an obstacle whilst at the same time ap-
plying the brake.
Anti-lock braking system: ABS
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is ac-
tivated. These tangible signs will warn
you that the grip of the tyres on the
ground has reached its limit and enable
you to adapt your driving style to suit
the road conditions.
This system also allows you to optimise
stopping distances when the grip of one
or more wheels may be lost (wet roads,
slippery or varying road surfaces).
Although this system allows you to opti-
mise stopping distances, the ABS does
not allow you to increase vehicle per
-
formance, which is physically linked
to the local conditions of tyre/road ad -
hesion. It is still essential to follow the
rules of good driving practice (such as
driving at a safe distance from the vehi-
cle in front). The fact that the vehicle’s
safety has been increased should
not encourage you to take risks.
ANTI-LOCk BRAkING SYSTEM: ABS (1/2)
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).

t)
ENG_NU_853-8_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.

ENG_NU_853-8_BCSK85_Renault_2
Deactivating the A.S.R.
function results in the E.S.P.
function being deactivated.
Refer to the information on
the “Electronic stability program:
E.S.P.” on the following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat -
ing fault the message “Check E.S.P.”
appears on the instrument panel along
with the
© warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel -
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The ‘traction control deselected’ mes -
sage is displayed on the instrument
panel along with warning light A to
inform you.
Disabling the function also disables
the E.S.P. function.
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).

Driving in manual modeWith selector lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– to move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.Special circumstances
– Snow position: if you are driving on
ground where you are likely to skid
(snow, mud, etc.), press switch 5
and operating tell-tale 6 will come
on.
Once these special driving con -
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 5
again. Operating tell-tale light 6
goes out. –
If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain -
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel -
spin when accelerating.

In very cold weather , the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.

Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are de -
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can
be released manually. To do this, unclip
the base of the lever, press recess 7 ,
visible on the gear lever gaiter, and the
unlocking button on the lever.Operating faults
– when driving, if the ‘check gearbox’
message appears on the instrument
panel, it indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– when driving , if the message “gear-
box overheating” appears on the in-
strument panel, avoid leaving the
lever in position D (or R) where traf-
fic conditions allow: always return to
position N when stationary.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down , refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.

For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
An impact to the under -
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik -
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor -
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.

Bodywork maintenance
BODyWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
y ou should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off, with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor -
oughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and under -
neath the body which forms damp
patches;
– bird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours paintwork and
may even cause the paint to peel
off;
wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im -
possible to remove them by polish -
ing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driv -
ing in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves,
etc.) from the vehicle regularly.
What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani -
cal components (e.g. the engine com -
partment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure clean -
ing equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im -
pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paint-
work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi -
tions without washing the vehicle, par-
ticularly under the wheel arches and
body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
–
atmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather condi -
tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-
cautions in order to safeguard your ve-
hicle against such risks.
