SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VEHICLES FITTED WITH AN EXHAUST PARTICLE FILT\
ER
When driving, depending on the
grade of fuel used, it is possible that
white smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle
filter being cleaned automatically,
and does not affect the way the
vehicle runs.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with
injection equipment which prevents
the engine from over-revving,
irrespective of the gear engaged.
Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
- ensure that the battery is always fully charged;
- always keep the fuel tank relatively full to avoid water vapour
condensing in it and accumulating
at the bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible
substances or materials
such as grass or leaves can come
into contact with the hot exhaust
system.
The warning light comes on
to indicate a filter saturation risk.
To clean the particle filter, we
recommend that you drive the
vehicle as soon as possible until the
warning light goes out, at an average
speed of 48 mph (80 km/h) provided
that traffic conditions and the speed
limit allow it.
As an indication, cleaning should
last about 20 minutes in this case.
If the message “Check emission
control” or “Regenerate particle
filter” is displayed alongside the
warning light, refer to your
RENAULT dealer as soon as possible.

A shaded wheel B, indicates a
deflated tyre.
"Stop! Tyre puncture"
Replace the wheel affected Bor
contact a RENAULT Dealer.
This message appears along with the
ûwarning light.
"Inflate a tyre to motorway
pressure"
The tyre pressure is not suitable for
the speed of travel. Slow down or
inflate all fourtyres to motorway
pressure (refer to the tyre pressure
table).
"No tyre sensors" or "Tyre sensor
out of order"
One wheel A, disappears, indicating
that the sensor on this wheel is
missing or faulty (e.g. if the
emergency spare wheel is fitted
etc.).

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.
