They indicate that the affected wheel
is punctured or severely underinflated.
Replace it or contact an approved
dealer if it is punctured. Top up the tyre
pressure if the wheel is deflated.
“Check tyre pressure sensors”
A wheel A disappears, the warning
light 4
 flashes for several sec-
onds then comes on continuously and
the message “Check tyre pressure sen-
sors” appears.
This message appears along with the
© warning light. They indicate that
at least one wheel is not fitted with sen-
sors (e.g. emergency spare wheel).
Otherwise, consult an authorised
dealer.

Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Please see the information on “Tyres”
in Section 5.
Contact an approved Dealer to fit new
tyres and to find out about available ac-
cessories compatible with the system
and available from your dealer net-
work: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the
system or damage a sensor.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer- -
gency spare wheel, it will not have a
sensor.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (3/3)
“Tyres location failure”
This message “Tyres location failure”
appears when driving if one or more
wheels have been fitted with sensors
not recognised by Renault.
Consult an approved dealer
Readjustment of tyre
pressures
The tyre pressures should be ad-
justed when cold (please refer to the
label located on the edge of the driver’s
door). If the tyre pressures cannot be
checked when the tyres are cold, the
recommended pressures should be in-
creased by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Tyre repair product and
inflation kit
Because the valves are specially de-
signed, only use equipment approved
by the approved network. Please refer
to “Tyre inflation kit” in Section 5.
Changing a wheel
The system may take sev-
eral minutes depending on
use for the new wheel po-
sitions and pressures to be recog-
nised; check the tyre pressures after
all operations.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function is
not intended to replace the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver. Check the tyre pressures, in-
cluding the emergency spare wheel,
once a month.

In both cases, consult an approved
dealer.
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.Warning light ® re-
quires you to stop immedi-
ately, for your own safety,
as soon as traffic conditions
allow. Switch off the engine and do
not restart it. Contact an approved
Dealer.

Electronic stability control
ESC with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
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 driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
 flashes on the instrument panel.Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
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 au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes 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.
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/10)
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check ESC” and
warning light
© and  appear
on the instrument panel.
In this case, the ESC and traction con-
trol system are deactivated. Consult an
authorised dealer.

2.33
Advanced traction control
If fitted on the vehicle, grip control
makes it easier to control the vehicle on
low grip surfaces (soft ground, etc.).
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (5/10)
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and speed rating at least
equal to those of the original
tyres, or conform to those recom-
mended by an authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
“Road” mode
When the vehicle is started up, the
warning light
 on the selector 2
comes on, along with the instrument
panel message “Automatic mode on”.
This position enables optimal usage
under normal driving conditions (dry-
ness, humidity, light snow, etc.).
“Road” mode uses traction control func-
tions. “Soft ground” mode
Turn the selector 2
: the integrated
warning light
\b comes on, along
with the instrument panel message
“Non grip road mode on”. This position
enables optimal usage on soft ground
(mud, sand, dead leaves, etc.). “Soft
ground” mode uses traction control
functions. The system automatically
switches to “Road” mode above around
25 mph (40 km/h), and the integrated
warning light
 on the selector 2
comes on.
“Expert” mode
Turn the selector 2 : the integrated
warning light
 comes on, ac-
companied by a message on the in-
strument panel “Expert mode on”. This
position enables optimum usage in ex-
treme conditions (very snowy or muddy
roads). The engine speed is left under
the control of the driver.
The system automatically switches to
“Road” mode above around 25 mph (40
km/h), and the integrated warning light
 on the selector 2 comes on.

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (8/10)
Active emergency braking
This function is an additional driving aid. However, this function is not
under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention
of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the sensor alignment may become changed, and \
its operation will consequently be affected. Deactivate the function, then consult
an authorised dealer.
– Any work in the area where the radar is located (repairs, replacements,\
touch- ing up of paintwork) must be carried out by a qualified professional.
– Fitting accessories which may block the radar is prohibited (bull bars \
etc.).
Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
In the event of system disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such \
as:
– a complex environment (metal bridge, etc.);
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice, etc.).
Risk of inadvertent braking.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the
 warning light lights up
on the instrument panel, with the mes-
sage “Active braking disconnected”.
There are two possibilities:
– the system is temporarily disrupted (for example: radar obscured by
dirt, mud, snow etc.). In this case,
park the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Clean the detection zone of
the radar. When you next start the
engine, the warning light and the
message go out
– if this is not the case, this may arise from another cause; contact an
Approved Dealer.

2.37
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (9/10)
Active emergency braking
Limitation of the system operation
– The system will only respond to vehicles which are moving or which have \
been sensed as moving.
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert\
or any action on the system operation.
– The sensor area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in or\
der to ensure the proper operation of the system.
– The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycl\
es as effectively as to other vehicles.
Deactivating the function
The function should be deactivated if:
– the brake lights are not functioning;
– the front of the vehicle has undergone an impact or been damaged;
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns).
Halting the function
You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accel\
erator pedal.
If the driver notices any unusual behaviour in the system, please consul\
t an authorised dealer.

2.40
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (2/4)
This problem may be resolved by
changing the tyres. Always use four
identical tyres (same brand, profile,
etc.) and with similar wear.
In the event of excessive wheelspin, the
mechanical components may overheat.
If this happens:
– at first, the
’ warning light
comes on. “4WD Lock” mode is still
active – however, we recommend
that you stop as soon as possible to
allow the system to cool down (until
the warning light goes out);
– if the wheels still spin, the system au- tomatically switches to “2WD” mode
to protect the mechanical compo-
nents.
The message “4WD overheating” is
displayed on the instrument panel.
The mode cannot be changed while
the message is displayed.
Note: If the vehicle speed exceeds
approximately 24.8 mph (40 km/h) in
“4WD Lock” mode, the system auto-
matically switches back to “AUTO”
mode.
The
’ warning light goes out and
the
\f warning light comes on.
Special features of the
4-wheel drive transmission
The vehicle may make more noise when
the “AUTO" or "4WD Lock" modes are
activated. This is normal. If the system
detects a difference in the dimensions
of the front and rear wheels (eg. un-
derinflation, severe wear on an axle),
the system automatically switches to
"2WD" mode.
The message “4WD unavailable unsuit-
able tyres” is displayed on the instru-
ment panel. Drive as soon as possible
at a moderate speed to an approved
dealer.
“4WD Lock" mode
To activate this mode, turn selector 1 to
the “4WD Lock” position. The selector
the returns to the “AUTO” position. The
’ indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
Operating principle
“4WD Lock” mode distributes the
engine torque between the front and
rear axles in order to optimise the per-
formance capacity of the vehicle in off-
road situations. This mode should only
be used in extreme driving conditions
(mud, steep slopes, sand).
To deactivate this mode, turn selector 1
to the “4WD Lock” position again. The
warning light goes out on the instru-
ment panel.

2.41
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and
traction control when driving off-
road
When driving on soft ground (sand,
mud, deep snow), we recommend that
you deactivate the ESC function by
pressing the “ESC” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel brak-
ing remains active. This function ap-
plies the brake to any wheel that is slip-
ping, allowing the engine torque to be
transferred to the wheels with the most
grip. This is particularly useful when
crossing a bridge.
All the ESC functions will be reacti-
vated when the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 31 mph (50 km/h) (24.8
mph [40 km/h] in 4WD Lock mode),
when the engine is restarted or when
the “ESC” switch is pressed again.Operating faults
If the system detects an operating fault,
it automatically switches to “2WD”
mode. The message “Check 4WD” is
displayed on the instrument panel, and
the
‘ and © warning lights
come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a moder-
ate speed to an approved dealer.
For certain operating faults, the system
may not be able to switch to “2WD" or
"4WD Lock" mode. "AUTO" mode re-
mains active.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
After stopping the engine, the system
may take up to five minutes to cool
down.
If the system detects excessive wheel-
spin on the front wheels, it adapts the
engine to run in a way that reduces
wheelspin.
Anti-lock braking in
LOCK mode
When “4WD Lock" mode is active, the
ABS switches to off-road mode. In this
case, the wheels may lock intermit-
tently to achieve better grip, thus reduc-
ing braking distances on soft ground.
When this mode is active:
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is lim- ited during braking. This operating
mode is therefore not recommended
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
– there may be some noise. This is normal, and does not indicate an op-
erating fault.
