ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP
This system helps you to keep
control of the vehicle in “critical”
driving conditions (avoiding an
obstacle, loss of grip in a bend...).
This function is an
additional aid in the
event of critical driving
conditions to allow the
behaviour of the vehicle to be
adapted to the driving
conditions.
However, the function does not
take the place of the driver.It
does not increase the vehicle's
limitations and should not
encourage you to drive more
quickly.
It can, thus, under no
circumstances replace the
vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the
vehicle (the driver must always
be aware of sudden incidents
which may occur when driving).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel
detects the path selected by the
driver.
Other sensors throughout the
vehicle measure the actual path.
The system compares the path
selected by the driver and the actual
vehicle path and corrects this as
necessary by applying the brakes
selectively and/or acting on the
engine power.When the function is in operation,
message1lights up to confirm this.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
This system helps to limit skidding
on drive wheels and to control the
vehicle when pulling away or
accelerating.
This function is an
additional aid in the
event of critical driving
conditions to allow the
behaviour of the vehicle to be
adapted to the driving
conditions.
However, the function does not
take the place of the driver.It
does not increase the vehicle's
limitations and should not
encourage you to drive more
quickly.
It can, thus, under no
circumstances replace the
vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the
vehicle (the driver must always
be aware of sudden incidents
which may occur when driving).
Operating principle
The system uses sensors in the
wheels to constantly measure and
compare the speed of the drive
wheels and prevents them spinning.
If a wheel is tending to skid, the
system brakes automatically until
the drive delivered becomes
compatible with the level of grip.The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the action
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function is in operation,
message1lights up to confirm this.

LEVELS
Brake fluid
This must be checked frequently,
especially if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
Level1
The level falls naturally as the brake
pads wear, but it should never be
allowed to fall below the
MINIMUMwarning mark.Topping up
After any operation on the
hydraulic circuit, a specialist must
replace the brake fluid.
Only use fluids approved by
RENAULT’s Technical Department
and which have been taken from a
sealed container.
Fluid change frequency:Refer to
the servicing booklet for your
vehicle.
Take care when working
under the bonnet as the
engine cooling fan may cut
in at any moment.

CHANGING A WHEEL
•Remove the wheel embellisher
(see section on embellishers).
• Use the wheelbrace1to loosen
the wheel bolts slightly. Fit it so
that you press downwards and
not upwards.
• Offer up the jack horizontally, the
jack head must be slid
underneath the jacking point
under the body, nearest the wheel
concerned.
• Screw up the jack by hand at first
to align the base plate (which
should be inclined further
inwards than the jack head). Use a
piece of wood under the base
plate if on soft ground.• Insert the end of the wheelbrace2
into the jack3and turn a few
times to lift the wheel off the
ground:
• Remove the bolts.
• Take off the wheel.
• Position the emergency spare
wheel on the central hub and turn
it to locate the mounting holes in
the wheel and the hub.
• Tighten the bolts and lower the
jack.
• Tighten the bolts fully when the
wheel is on the ground.Park your vehicle on firm,
flat ground (if necessary,
placing a plank under the
base of the jack).
Switch on the hazard warning
lights.
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse, orPon an
automatic gearbox).
Ask all the passengers to get out of
the vehicle and keep them away
from moving traffic.
If you have a puncture,
replace the wheel as soon
as possible.
A tyre which has been
punctured should always be
inspected (and repaired if possible)
by a specialist.
