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.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS (continued)
One of two situations may arise if
there is a fault in the ABS system:
1 - Orange warning lights
x
and light up on the
instrument panel.
Braking is still performed, but
without the ABS system. Contact
a RENAULT Dealer as soon as
possible.
The braking modulation provided
by the ABS is independent of the
effort applied to the brake pedal. In
an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal There is no need to pump it
repeatedly.
2.23
2 - The orange x
warning light and the red
dbrake fault warning
light accompanied by and
ûand, depending on vehicle,
the message Brake fault are
illuminated on the instrument panel.
This indicates that both the braking
system and the ABS system are
faulty. Your braking systems are only
partially operational. However, it is
dangerous to brake suddenly and it
is essential to stop immediately, as
soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact a RENAULT Dealer.

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: limiter function (continued)
Driving
When a limited speed has been
stored and this speed is not reached,
driving is similar to driving a
vehicle without the speed limiter
function.
From this point, no effort on the
accelerator pedal will allow you to
exceed the programmed speed
except in an emergency (see
information on exceeding the
limited speed).
Switching on
Press switch 1ðside.
The indicator light on the
instrument panel comes on and the
computer switches to the “speed
limiter” function.
Limiting the speed
At a constant speed (above about 18
mph (30 km/h)) and in the correct
gear (for vehicles with manual
gearboxes), press switch 2: the speed
is stored.
Varying the limit speed
The limit speed may be changed by
pressing repeatedly or holding
down:
- key 2to increase the speed,
- key 5to decrease the speed.
The system is designed in such a
way that it is possible to detect a
difference between the cruising
speed and the speed shown on
the instrument panel.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: limiter function (continued)
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency
It is possible to exceed the limit
speed at any moment. To do this:
depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (beyond the kickdown
point).
While it is being exceeded, the limit
speed flashes on the instrument
panel.
When the emergency situation is
over, release the accelerator pedal:
the speed limiter function returns as
soon as you reach a speed that is
lower than the speed set before the
emergency action.
Limit speed cannot be maintained
In some driving conditions (for
example when driving up or down a
steep gradient), the system is unable
to maintain the cruising speed: the
stored speed on the instrument
panel information display will flash
to inform you of this situation.
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed is stored, it is possible to
recall it by pressing button 3until
the message “Limiter” is displayed.
Stopping the function
The speed limiter function is
interrupted when you press:
- button 4, in which case the limit
speed remains stored and the
message “stored” appears on the
instrument panel,
- button 1, in this case the limit
speed is no longer stored, and the
indicator light on the instrument
panel goes out to confirm that the
function has been cancelled.
