TRACTION CONTROL: ASR (continued)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 the
warning light and warning light A.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer.
If the warning light comes on
accompanied by the “ASR
deselected” message when the engine
is started, slowly turn the steering
wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise
the system.
Disabling the function also disables
the ESP function.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1again.
The function is reactivated
automatically when the ignition is
switched on or when a speed of
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) is
exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this
function when travelling above a
threshold of approximately 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Disabling the function
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 wheelspin. If this is
not required, it is possible to
deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The “ESP/ASR deactivated” message
is displayed on the instrument panel
along with warning light Ato inform
you.

EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST
This system is complementary to
ABS and helps reduce vehicle
stopping distances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an
emergency braking situation. In this
case, the braking assistance
immediately develops maximum
power and may trigger ABS
regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long
as the brake pedal is not released.
Hazard warning lights switching
on
Depending on the vehicle, these
may light up in the event of sudden
deceleration.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. I t 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).

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function
The cruise control function helps
you to maintain your driving speed
at a speed that you choose, called
the cruising speed .
This cruising speed can be adjusted
continuously from 18 mph or
(30 km/h).Controls
1 Main On/Off switch.
2 Cruising speed storage and
activation Increase the cruising
speed.
3 Recall of stored cruising speed.
4 Switching the function off (with
cruising speed storage).
5 Cruising speed storage and
activation Decrease the cruising
speed.
The cruising function
does not affect the braking
system. This function is an
additional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. Thus, it can under no
circumstances replace the driver’s
responsibility to respect speed limits
and to be vigilant (the driver must
always be ready to brake). Cruise
control must not be used in heavy
traffic, on undulating or slippery
roads (black ice, aquaplaning,
gravel) and during bad weather (fog,
rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accident.

PARKING PROXIMITY SENSOR
Operating faults
When the system detects an
operating fault there will be a 5
second continuous beep as a warning
when reverse gear is selected.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer.
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors located in the
rear bumper measure the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle
when reversing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent
the closer you are to the obstacle,
until they become one continuous
beep when the obstacle is
approximately
25 centimetres from the vehicle.
Note:make sure that the ultrasonic
sensors are not blocked (dirt, mud,
snow, etc.). This function is an
additional aid that indicates
the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle
whilst reversing, using sound
signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or
responsibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always pay
attention to sudden incidents
during driving: always ensure that
there are no moving obstacles (such
as a child, animal, pram or bicycle,
etc.) or small, narrow objects such
as stones or posts in your path
when manoeuvring.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (continued)Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Pushing the lever repeatedly allows
you to change gears manually.
- to move down through the gears, push the lever backwards.
- to move up through the gears, push the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel. Special cases
Under certain driving conditions
(e.g.: engine protection, with
electronic stability program (ESP)
operational: etc.) the “automatic
system” may change gear
automatically.
Likewise, to prevent “incorrect
manoeuvres”, a gear change may be
refused by the “automatic system”:
in this case the gear display flashes
for a few seconds as a warning.
How to drive as economically as
possible
Leave the selector in position
Don
the open road, depress the
accelerator pedal slightly to ensure
automatic gear changes at
comparatively low engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal
briskly and fully (so that it goes
beyond the kickdown point).
This will enable you to change
down to the optimal gear within the
engine range.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating advice
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an
increase in fuel consumption
(especially in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing
consumption and therefore helping
to conserve the environment:
It is advisable to drive with the
vents open and the windows
closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.Maintenance
Refer to the Warranty and Services
booklet for your vehicle for the
replacement frequency.
Operating faults
Generally, in the event of an
operating fault, consult your
RENAULT Dealer. - Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the
passenger compartment filter
cartridge becoming clogged.
- No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
- Presence of water under the
vehicle . After prolonged use of the
air conditioning system, it is
normal for water to be present
under the vehicle. This is caused
by condensation.
Do not open the refrigerant fluid
circuit. The fluid may damage the
eyes or skin.
