Electronic Stability Program: ESP
ELEcTRONIc STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP
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.
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).
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. When the function begins to operate,
warning light
A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accom -
panied by the “ESP deactivated” mes -
sage when the engine is started, turn
the steering wheel from lock to lock to
reinitialise the system.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced unders-
teering (loss of front axle road holding).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat -
ing fault the message “Check ESP” ap-
pears on the instrument panel along
with the
ú warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.

Traction control: ASR
TRAcTION cONTROL: ASR (1/2)
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the vehi-
cle when pulling away or accelerating.
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).
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. 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.

Système antiblocage des roues (ABS) (X81 - J81 - Renault)
ENG_NU_932-3_X81ph3_Renault_2
ANTI-LOcK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS (continued)
One of two situations may arise if there
is a fault in the ABS system:
1 – Orange warning light
x is lit
on the instrument panel.
Braking is still performed, but without
the ABS system. Contact an approved
Dealer as soon as possible.
2 – Orange warning light
x and red brake cir -
c u i t i n c i d e n t w a r n i n g
light
D are lit on the instru -
ment panel.
This indicates that both the brak -
ing system and the ABS system
are faulty. Your braking systems are
only partially operational. However,
it is dangerous to brake suddenly
and it is essential to stop immedi -
ately, as soon as traffic conditions
allow. Contact an approved Dealer.
Also, on equipped vehicles, the mes -
sage “Check ABS” appears on the dis-
play A.
The braking modulation provided by
the ABS is independent of the effort
applied to the brake pedal. In an
emergency, apply firm and contin-
uous pressure to the brake pedal
There is no need to pump it repeat-
edly.

EMERGENcY BRAKE ASSIST
This system is complementary to the
ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
Operating principle
The system allows an emergency brak-
ing situation to be detected via a sensor
that measures the speed with which the
brake pedal is depressed. In this case,
the braking assistance instantly pro -
vides its maximum power.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights

These may light up in the event of rapid
deceleration.
In this case, the hazard warning lights
may be switched off by pressing the
hazard warning lights switch twice.

cRUISE cONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (continued)
Putting the function on
standby
The function is interrupted when you:
– depress the brake pedal,
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into
neutral if the vehicle has an auto -
matic gearbox,
– press button 4.
In all three cases, the cruising speed is
memorised.
Recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been memorised, it is
possible to recall it by pressing button 3,
on condition that you are driving faster
than 18 mph (30 km/h) and that you
are sure that the driving conditions are
suitable (traffic, road surface condition,
weather conditions, etc.).
Switching off the function
Press on/off switch 1 : in this case, the
speed is no longer stored.
The instrument panel indicator light
goes out, confirming that the function is
stopped.
Pressing button 2 or 5 reactivates
the cruise control function without
taking into account the memorised
speed: it is the speed at which the
vehicle is moving that is taken into
account.Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

more than approximately five sec -
onds (such as when in a traffic jam
or waiting at red lights, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or
when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes;
– if a caravan or trailer is fitted with a
detection system.

Brake fluid
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
Top up with the engine switched off and
on level ground.
Level 3
It is normal for the level to drop as the
brake shoes become worn, but it must
never drop lower than the “MInI” warn-
ing line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website.Filling
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
