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 (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.

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.

ELECTRIC SUNROOF (continued)
Remote closure of the sunroof
(on vehicles equipped with the one-
touch window function on all the
windows).
When you lock the doors with the
Hands-free RENAULT card and
press the locking button on the
RENAULT card or a door handle
button or the luggage compartment
button twice in quick succession,
the windows and the sunroof close
automatically.
After closing the sunroof by remote
control, pressing button 3allows the
sunroof to return to its previous
position.Special note
For your safety your vehicle is fitted
with an anti-pinch function. When a
window encounters resistance
whilst closing (someone’s fingers, an
animal’s paw or the branch of a tree,
for example), it stops and lowers by
several centimetres.
It is therefore recommended that the
user only operates the system when
the vehicle can be seen clearly and
no one is inside the vehicle.
Sunroof closing operating fault
In this case, check that there is no
obstacle, then turn button 2to
position 0,then press button 3, until
the sunroof closes completely.
Important: during this operation,
the sunroof anti-pinch function
is deactivated.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer
as soon as possible.
Advice for use
- vehicle with roof bars
Generally, it is not advisable to
operate the sunroof.
Before using the sunroof, check the
objects and/or accessories (bike
racks, roof box etc.) attached to the
roof rack bars: they should be
properly arranged and secured and
should not interfere with the
operation of the sunroof.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer for
details of possible adaptations;
- check that the sunroof is properly
closed before leaving your vehicle;
- clean the seal every three months
using agents selected by our
technical department;
- Do not open the sunroof
immediately after the vehicle has
been in the rain or after it has been
washed.
Closing the sunroof can
cause severe injuries.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
It is normal for an engine to use oil
for lubrication and cooling of
moving parts and it is normal to top
up the level between oil changes.
However, contact your RENAULT
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 600 miles (1,000
km) after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and
certainly before any long journey to
avoid the risk of damaging your
engine.
Reading the oil level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
reading.
To be able to read the exact oil level
and make sure that the maximum
level has not been exceeded (risk of
engine damage), the dipstick must
be used.
In the following pages, see Engine
oil level: topping up/filling.
The instrument panel display only
shows a warning when the
minimum oil level has been reached.Minimum oil level warning on the
instrument panel
When ignition has been switched on
for approximately 30 seconds:
-
if the level is above the minimum
level, the display indicates “oil
level correct”: message 1.
To gain a more precise indication
of the level, press the trip mileage
reset button or the information
scroll button on the trip computer. The squares which appear on the
display indicate the level. They
disappear as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by dashes.
To advance to trip computer
reading, press the button again.
-
if the level is at the minimum
level: the message “top up oil
level” appears on the display; the
squares are replaced by dashes
(message 2) and the warning light
is illuminated on the
instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon
as possible.
Message 1
Level

minimum
Message 2
Minimum

The display only shows a
warning when the
minimum level has been
reached, not when the
maximum has been exceeded.
This can only be detected with
the dipstick.

- check the level using the dipstick 2
(as explained above);
Do not exceed the Maximumlevel
and do not forget to refit cap 1.
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be off
and cold (for instance, before the
