Start position D
If the engine fails to start at the first attempt, the key must be turned back before the starter can be activated again. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
Note: on diesel versions, several sec- onds may pass between turning the
key and the engine starting to allow for engine preheating.
Off position S (steering lock
applied)
To lock: remove the key and turn the steering wheel until the steering column locks.
To unlock: turn the key and the steering wheel slightly.

Vehicles with a Quickshift
gearbox
Depress the brake pedal with the lever in the N position.
Note: if a gear other than neutral is dis- played, it flashes and starting will only be possible by depressing the brake pedal, with the RENAULT card in detec-
tion zone 1 or in card reader 4.
–
in some cases, it will be necessary to
move the steering wheel while press-
ing start button 3 to assist in unlock- ing the steering column; a message
on instrument panel 2 warns of this.
Vehicles with an automatic
gearbox
Depress the brake pedal with the lever in the N or P position.
All vehicles
– if one of the starting conditions is not applied, the following messages: “Depress brake + press start”, “shift to P” or “shift to neutral” will be dis-
played on instrument panel 2;

t)ENG_NU_853-3_BCSK85_Renault_2
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 conjunc- tion with the ‘understeer control’ system.
Electronic Stability Program: ESP
This function is an addi- tional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav- iour 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 circum- stances replace the vigilance or re- sponsibility of the driver when ma- noeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden in- cidents which may occur when driv- ing).
When the E.S.P. function starts oper-
ating, warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompa- nied by the ‘traction control deselected’ 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 action of the E.S.P. in the case of pronounced understeering (loss of front axle road holding).
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 se- lected by the driver and the actual di- rection of the vehicle and corrects this as necessary by applying the brakes selectively and/or acting on the engine power.

Traction control: ASR
This function is an addi- tional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav- iour 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 circum- stances replace the vigilance or re- sponsibility of the driver when ma- noeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden in- cidents which may occur when driv- ing).
The system also adjusts the engine speed to the grip available under the wheels, independently of the pressure exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function begins to operate,
warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompa- nied by the ‘traction control deselected’ message when the engine is started, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system measures and compares the speed of the drive wheels at all times and slows down their over-rotation.
If a wheel is starting to slip, the system brakes automatically until the drive sup- plied becomes compatible with the level of grip under the wheel again.
This system helps to limit skidding on drive wheels and to control the vehicle when pulling away or accelerating.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the “Emergency spare wheel” and instruc- tions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Fitting new tyres
For safety reasons, this op- eration 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 regu- lations;
– it may change the way it handles
when cornering;
– it may cause the steering to be
heavy;
– it may affect the use of snow
chains.
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 tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, assume an in- crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
TYRES (2/3)
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss- ing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss. Always use valve caps identical to the originals and screw them down fully.
Incorrect tyre pressures lead to abnormal tyre wear and unusually hot running. These are factors which may seriously affect safety and lead to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa
- tion.
The pressure depends on the load and the speed of use. Adjust the pressure according to the condi- tions of use (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
Tyre pressuresAdhere to the tyre pressures (including the emergency spare wheel). The tyre pressures should be checked at least once a month and additionally before any long journey (refer to the label af- fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

Remove the fuse using tweezers 2, lo- cated on the cover.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers, slide the fuse to the side.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse locations.
Fuses
Check the fuse in question and replace it, if neces- sary, by a fuse of the same rating.
If a fuse is fitted with too high a rating, it may cause the electrical circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipment using an excessive amount of current.
INCORRECTCORRECT
Fuse box 1
If electrical equipment does not work, check the condition of the fuses.
Depending on the vehicle, open the cover to the right of the steering wheel or the glove box.
To identify the fuses, refer to the fuse allocation sticker (shown on the follow- ing page).
FUSES (1/2)

In accordance with local legislation or as a precautionary measure:
obtain an emergency kit containing a set of spare bulbs and fuses from an approved Dealer.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (3/4)
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact your ap- proved Dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion and charge the battery in a well-venti- lated area. Risk of serious injury.
If your vehicle is to be left stationary for a relatively long time, disconnect the battery or have it recharged regularly, particularly during cold weather. It will then be necessary, with the engine run- ning, to move the steering wheel slowly, from lock to lock and to reprogram the electronic equipment with a memory feature, radio, etc. The battery should be stored in a cool and dry location pro- tected from frost.
Note: if you have disconnected or re- charged a battery, move the steering wheel slowly from lock to lock to reset the system.
Have the battery’s charge status checked regularly:
– especially if you use your vehicle for
short journeys or for frequent driving in town;
– when the exterior temperature drops
(in winter), the charge decreases. In winter, only use the electrical equipment that is really necessary;
– finally, you should understand that
the charge decreases naturally as a result of certain permanent electrical consumers such as the clock, after- sales accessories, etc.
When many accessories are fitted to the vehicle, have them connected to the + after ignition feed. In this case, it is advisable to have your vehicle fitted with a battery which has an increased nominal capacity. Contact an approved Dealer.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com- patible with a battery with nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Switch the engine off and then discon- nect both battery leads starting with the negative terminal.
Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instruc- tions given by the manufacturer for the battery charger you are using.
Only a fully charged and well-main- tained battery will have a long and useful life and enable you to start the vehicle’s engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and dry.
