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).

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.

Insert the key in the ignition switch, or the card in the reader, to unlock the steering wheel and use the sig- nalling lights (brake lights, indica- tors, etc.). The towed vehicle’s lights must be switched on at night.
The speed specified by current legisla- tion for towing must always be observed. If your vehicle is the towing vehicle, do not exceed the maximum towing weight for your vehicle (refer to the information on “Weights” in Section 6).
Only use the front towing points 3 and rear towing points 4 (never use the drive shafts). These towing points may only be used for towing: never use them for lifting the vehicle directly or in- directly.
Access to towing pointsUnclip by pulling towards you and lift
cover 1 or 5 (depending on the vehi- cle).Screw in towing hitch 2 fully: as much as possible by hand at first, then finish by tightening it using the wheelbrace.
Towing hitch 2 and the wheelbrace are located under the luggage compartment carpet in the tool kit (refer to the infor- mation on the “Tool kit” in Section 5).

Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off: the transmission is no longer lubricated. It is preferable to tow this type of vehi- cle on a trailer or tow it with the front wheels off the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances, you may tow the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, only going forward, with the gear lever in the Neutral position, and for a distance not exceeding 30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck in P, even though you are de- pressing the brake pedal, the lever can be released manually.
To do this, unclip the upper sec-
tion of the cover at the base of the lever.
Press simultaneously on the mark on the gaiter and the unlocking button on the lever.
– Use a rigid towing bar. If a rope or cable is used (where the law allows this), the ve- hicle being towed must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking sud
- denly when towing, as this may result in damage being caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad
- visable not to exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the
steering column is locked.
Towing procedure
Before any towing, check that the steer- ing column is not locked.
If it is locked, insert the RENAULT card into the reader and press the Start/Stop button for five seconds without press- ing on the pedals. The steering column unlocks and the vehicle accessories functions are supplied.
Leave the card in the reader while towing.
Press the Start/Stop button twice in succession once towing is finished (risk of running down the battery).
TOWING: breakdown (2/3)
Do not leave the tools unse- cured inside the vehicle as they may come loose under braking.
When the engine is stopped, steering and braking assist- ance are not operational.
