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 come to a complete
stop. Switching off the engine dis -
ables the assistance equipment:
brakes, steering, etc., and passive
safety equipment such as airbags
and pretensioners.

Operating faults
When indicator lights © and in cer-
tain cases
} light up on the instru-
ment panel accompanied by the mes -
sage “Check parking brake”, contact an
approved dealer urgently.
v ersions with an automatic
gearbox
For safety reasons, automatic release
is deactivated when the driver’s door
is open or not shut properly and the
engine is running (in order to prevent
the vehicle from moving without the
driver). The “Release manually parking
brake” message appears on the instru-
ment panel when the driver depresses
the accelerator.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selec -
tor lever to position P or N.
This is because when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine
running and a gear engaged, the
vehicle may begin to move if you
accelerate.
There is a risk of accidents.
It is therefore essential to
immobilise the vehicle by
engaging first gear (manual
gearbox) or position P (au -
tomatic transmission). If the slope
requires it, chock the vehicle.
If no lights or sounds are
apparent, this indicates
a fault in the instrument
panel. This indicates that it
is essential to stop immediately
(as soon as traffic conditions
allow). Ensure that the vehicle is
correctly immobilised and contact
an approved Dealer.
Indicator light } flashes, accom -
panied by indicator lights

© and the message “ Parking
brake fault”: this indicates that it is es-
sential to stop immediately (as soon as
traffic conditions allow). Contact an ap-
proved Dealer.

Never leave a child (or
animal) alone in the vehi -
cle with the RENAULT card
inside. They could acci -
dentally release the parking brake
which would enable the vehicle to
roll away.
The parking brake can be released. To
release manually:
– remove the luggage compartment
carpet and the emergency spare
wheel cover;
– insert wheelbrace 4 into loop 6 and,
for vehicles without amplifier 7, press
on housing 5;
– pull (movement B ) or push (move -
ment C ) the top of wheelbrace 4
until the parking brake is heard to re-
lease.
This control cannot be used to reap-
ply the parking brake.
Before releasing the park -
ing brake manually, it is es-
sential to immobilise the ve-
hicle by engaging first gear
(manual gearbox) or shifting to po -
sition P (automatic transmission). If
the slope requires it, chock the vehi-
cle. If it is not possible to immobilise
the vehicle, do not operate the lever
and contact an approved Dealer.
A reminder can be found on the
label in area A.

ADvICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– 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.
– 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.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
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 suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals

Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– the anti-lock braking system ABS;
– the electronic stability control
ESC with traction control ASR;
– the emergency brake assist;
– the hill descent control;
– the hill start assistance. Operating faults:
–
If the message “ Check ABS” is dis-
played and the
x and ©
warning lights on the instrument
panel come on when driving, brak-
ing safety is still guaranteed, but
without ABS;
– if the message “Brake system fault”
is displayed and the
x, D
and
® warning lights on the in-
strument panel come on when driv -
ing, there is a fault in the braking
system.
Consult an approved Dealer.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav -
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil -
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi -
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par -
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle's physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu -
late the force applied in the braking
system.
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s
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.

Electronic stability control
ESC with understeer control
and traction control ASR
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 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 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.
 lit indicates that the ESC system
(with the ASR) is active. 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 ASR are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

If you deactivate this function, the
traction control (ASR) system will
also be deactivated.
As the ESC and ASR provide enhanced
safety, it is not advisable to drive with
the function switched off. Correct
this as soon as possible by pressing
switch 1 again.
Note: the system is automatically reac-
tivated each time the engine is switched
off.

Disabling the ESC function
(including traction control (ASR)
system)
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 message “ESC off” is displayed on
the instrument panel to inform you.
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
Depending on the speed at which the
brake pedal is depressed, the system
will detect emergency braking. In this
case, the braking assistance immedi -
ately develops maximum power and
may trigger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel -
eration.
