Power Assisted Steering
Never drive with an inadequately
charged battery.
Variable power assisted
steering
The variable power assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Adjusting the steering wheel
height and depth
(depending on vehicle)
Pull lever 1 and place the steering
wheel in the required position; push the
lever beyond the point of resistance to
lock the steering wheel in place.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
Steering wheel/Power-assisted steering
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is station-
ary.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
1
Never switch off the igni -
tion when travelling down -
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.

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.

Contrôle dynamique de conduite : E.S.P. avec contrôle de sous-virage (X85 - B85 - C85 - S85 - K85 - Renaul\
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.
