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.

TYRES (continued)
Pressures should be checked when
the tyres are cold; ignore higher
pressures which may be reached in
hot weather or following a fast
journey.
If the tyre pressures cannot be
checked when the tyres are cold,
assume an increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar
(or 3 psi. ).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Note: a label (depending on country
or model) fixed to the edge or frame
of the driver’s door gives the
recommended tyre pressures.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures must be adhered to,
tyre pressures for all wheels
(including the spare wheel) must be
checked at least once a month and
always before a long journey (refer
to the information on Tyre
pressures).
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information relating to
the emergency spare wheel and
changing a wheel in Section 5.
Fitting new tyres
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre
wear and unusually hot
running, factors which
may seriously affect safety and
lead to:
- poor roadholding,
- the risk of blow-outs or of throwing a tread at high speed.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressures according to the
conditions of use (refer to the
information on Tyre pressures). Vehicles equipped with
the tyre pressure monitor
Each of the sensors fitted
in the valves is dedicated
to one particular wheel: the
wheels must therefore not be
swapped around.
There is a risk of incorrect
information which could have
serious consequences. For safety reasons, this
operation must be carried
out by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
- It may mean that your vehicle no longer conforms to current
regulations.
- It may change the way it handles when cornering.
- It may cause the steering to be heavy.
- It may cause tyre noise.
- It may affect the use of snow chains.

TYRES (continued)
• “Winter” or “Thermorubber”Tyres
We would recommend that these
be fitted to all four wheelsto
ensure that your vehicle retains
maximum road holding.
Note: we would point out that
these tyres may sometimes have:
- a driving direction,
- a maximum speed index which may be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
Studded tyres This type of equipment may only
be used for a limited period and as
laid down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the
speed specified by current
legislation.
These tyres may be fitted to the
two front wheels as a minimum.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact your RENAULT
Dealer who will be able to advise
you on the choice of equipment
which is most suitable for your
vehicle.
Use in winter
Snow chainsFor safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly
forbidden.
Chains cannot be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those
originally fitted to the vehicle.
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size as
those originally fitted to
your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted
to tyres. Contact your RENAULT
Dealer.
Special note on versions fitted
with 17" wheels: snow chains may
not be fitted
If you wish to use special
equipment, contact your
RENAULT Dealer.
