ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS
You will feel pulsing through the
brake pedal when the system has
been activated. These tangible signs
will warn you that the grip of the
tyres on the ground has reached its
limit and enable you to adapt your
driving style to suit the road
conditions.
This system also allows you to
optimise stopping distances when
the grip of one or more wheels may
be lost (wet roads, slippery or
varying road surfaces).
Although this system allows you to
make maximum use of stopping
distances, even with the ABS you
still have to take account of the
actual condition of the road surface.
It is still essential to follow the rules
of good driving practice (such as
driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front).
The fact that the
vehicle’s safety has been increased
should not encourage you to take
risks.
Under heavy braking, the system has
two principal aims; to reduce the
stopping distance and keep your
vehicle under control. However,
there is a risk that roadholding and
directional control may be lost and
the wheels may lock under braking,
depending on the nature of the
ground, weather conditions and
your reactions. The Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) has been
designed to combat this danger.
The safety enhancement is that the
brake control system prevents the
wheels from locking, even if the
brakes are applied too sharply, and
allows the vehicle to be steered and
thus its direction to be controlled.
Under these circumstances it is
quite possible for the driver to steer
the vehicle and to avoid an obstacle
whilst at the same time applying the
brake.

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).
