(ABS) indicator light
This comes on when the
engine is started then goes out.
If it comes on when you are
driving, it indicates a fault in the
anti-lock braking system (ABS).
Braking will then be as normal,
without the ABS system.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer as
soon as possible.
åAirbag warning light
This lights up when the
engine is started and goes
out after a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the
ignition is switched on, or comes
on when the engine is running,
there is a fault in the system.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer as
soon as possible. 1

Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
fully charged,
full to avoid water vapour
condensing and accumulating at
the bottom of the tank.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with
injection equipment
which prevents
the engine speed from being
exceeded irrespective of the gear
selected.
Running out of fuel
If the fuel tank has been drained
completely , you may start the
engine normally after refilling the
fuel tank provided that the battery is
well charged.
However, if after a few seconds and
several attempts the engine fails to
start, contact a RENAULT Dealer.
2.07
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible
substances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VEHICLES FITTED WITH AN EXHAUST PARTICLE FILT\
ER
When driving, depending on the
grade of fuel used, it is possible that
white smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle
filter being cleaned automatically,
and does not affect the way the
vehicle runs.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with
injection equipment which prevents
the engine from over-revving,
irrespective of the gear engaged.
Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
- ensure that the battery is always fully charged;
- always keep the fuel tank relatively full to avoid water vapour
condensing in it and accumulating
at the bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible
substances or materials
such as grass or leaves can come
into contact with the hot exhaust
system.
The warning light comes on
to indicate a filter saturation risk.
To clean the particle filter, we
recommend that you drive the
vehicle as soon as possible until the
warning light goes out, at an average
speed of 48 mph (80 km/h) provided
that traffic conditions and the speed
limit allow it.
As an indication, cleaning should
last about 20 minutes in this case.
If the message “Check emission
control” or “Regenerate particle
filter” is displayed alongside the
warning light, refer to your
RENAULT dealer as soon as possible.

ADVICE ON FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to
respect anti-pollution standards
may lead to legal action being taken
against the vehicle owner. In
addition, replacing engine, fuel
supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than
those originally recommended by
the manufacturer may alter your
vehicle so that it no longer complies
with anti-pollution standards.
Have your vehicle checked and
adjusted by your RENAULT Dealer
in accordance with the instructions
in the vehicle’s Warranty and
Services booklet.
Your RENAULT Dealer has all the
equipment necessary for ensuring
that your vehicle is maintained to its
original standard.
Engine adjustments
• ignition: this does not require
adjustment.
plugs: for optimum fuel
economy, efficiency and
performance the specifications laid
down by our Design Department
must be strictly applied.
If the spark plugs have to be
changed, use the make, type and
gap specified for your vehicle’s
engine. Contact your Renault
Dealer for this information.
this does not require
adjustment.
A clogged
cartridge hinders performance and
must be replaced.
RENAULT is actively striving to
reduce pollutant exhaust gas
emissions and to save energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings,
your RENAULT conforms to current
anti-pollution standards. Technical
design, however, cannot achieve all.
The fuel consumption of your
vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Make sure that your
vehicle is maintained and used
correctly.

urban conditions) when air
conditioning is used on vehicles
equipped with air conditioning .
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing
consumption and helping to
preserve the environment:
Drive with the air vents on and the
windows closed.

moments to let the hot air escape

TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR
Operating principle
Each wheel (except the spare wheel)
has a sensor in the inflation valve
which periodically measures the
tyre pressure.
The system informs the driver that
the tyres are sufficiently inflated
and warns if they are deflated or if
there is a leak.
This system monitors the tyre
inflation pressure.
The pressures must be adjusted
when the tyres are cold.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are
cold, assume an
increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar ( 3PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
2.15
This function is an
additional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the
vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the spare wheel, once a month.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP WITH UNDERSTEER CONTROL
When the function begins to
operate, warning light Aflashes to
warn you.
If the warning light comes on
accompanied by the “ASR/ESP
deactivated” 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 operation
of the ESP in the case of pronounced
understeering (loss of front axle
roadholding).
Operating faults
If the system detects an operating
fault, the message “Check traction
control” or “ESP/ASR not
functioning” is displayed on the
instrument panel display along with
indicator light and indicator
light A.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer.
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 conjunction with the
understeer control system.
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
selected by the driver and the actual
direction of the vehicle and corrects
this as necessary by applying the
brakes selectively and/or acting on
the engine power.
2.19
This function is an
additional aid in case of
critical driving conditions
to enable the vehicle
behaviour 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
circumstances replace the
vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the
vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents
which may occur when driving).

TRACTION CONTROL: ASR
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 spin, the
system brakes automatically until
the drive supplied becomes
compatible with the level of grip.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
