When stationary, and de- pending on the slope and/or vehicle load, it may be nec- essary to pull up the hand- brake at least two extra notches and engage a gear (1st or reverse gear)
for vehicles with a manual gearbox or position P for vehicles with an au- tomatic gearbox.
Make sure that the hand- brake is properly released when driving (red indicator light off), otherwise over- heating may occur.
An impact to the under- side of the vehicle while manoeuvring (e.g.: strik- ing a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor- mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an ap- proved Dealer.

Advice: antipollution, fuel economy and driving
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
Your vehicle complies with criteria for recycling and recovering vehicles at the end of their service life which will come into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there- fore been designed to facilitate future recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so that they can be recovered and reprocessed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti- pollution regulations. The manufac- turer is actively striving to reduce pol- lutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy. But the fuel consumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are also your re- sponsibility. Ensure that it is maintained and used correctly.
Aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, in order to optimise consumption, an indicator light on the instrument panel will inform you of the best moment to upshift or down- shift gears:
ä upshift a gear;
æ downshift a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to respect antipollution regulations could lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel supply system and exhaust components with parts other than those originally recommended by the manu- facturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and checked by an approved dealer, in ac- cordance with the instructions given in your Maintenance Service Booklet: they will have all the equipment nec- essary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.
Engine adjustments– ignition: this does not require ad- justment.
–
spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, efficiency and performance the specifications laid down by our Design Department must be strictly applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an approved dealer for this.
–
idle: this does not require adjust- ment.
–
air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele- ment reduces performance. It must be replaced.

ENG_UD10561_1Système antiblocage des roues : ABS (X85 - B85 - C85 - S85 - K85 - Renault)ENG_NU_853-3_BCSK85_Renault_2
The braking modulation provided by the ABS is independent of the effort applied to the brake pedal. In an emergency, apply firm and contin- uous pressure to the brake pedal There is no need to pump it repeat- edly.
2 – The orange warning
light x and the red brake fault warning light
D along with © and
® and the message ‘brake fault’ light up on the instrument panel.
This indicates that both the brak- ing system and the ABS system are faulty. Your braking systems are only partially operational. However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and it is essential to stop immedi-
ately, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Contact an approved Dealer.
One of two situations may arise if there is a fault in the ABS system:
1 – The orange warning lights
x
and © light up on the instru- ment panel.
Braking is still performed, but with- out the ABS system. Contact an ap- proved Dealer as soon as possible.

Deactivating the A.S.R.
function results in the E.S.P. function being deactivated. Refer to the information on the “Traction control: ASR” on the following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat- ing fault the message “Check ESP” ap- pears on the instrument panel along
with warning lights © and A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
The function is deactivated by pressing
switch 1; warning light A will come on to warn you that the system has been deactivated.
This action also deactivates the trac- tion control mechanism: the message ‘ASR deselected’ appears on the in- strument panel. Refer to the informa- tion on “Traction control” in the follow- ing pages.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automati- cally 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).

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (3/3)
Recalling the limit speed
A stored speed can be recalled by
pressing switch 5 (R) until the message “Speed limiter” is displayed.
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency
It is possible to exceed the limit speed at any moment. To do this: press the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (beyond the kickdown point).
Whilst the speed is being exceeded, the cruising speed displayed on the in- strument panel flashes.
When the emergency has passed, re- lease the accelerator pedal: the speed
limiter function will return as soon as you reach a speed lower than the limit speed before the emergency.
Limit speed cannot be maintained
In some driving conditions (for example when driving up or down a steep gradi- ent), the system is unable to maintain the limit speed: the stored speed on the instrument panel information display will flash to inform you of this situation.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is interrupted when you press:
– switch
4 (O), in which case the limit speed remains stored and the mes- sage “Stored” appears on the instru- ment panel;
– switch

Driving
Once a cruising speed is stored and the cruise control function is active, you may lift your foot off the accelera- tor pedal.
Important: you are never- theless advised to keep your feet close to the pedals in order to react if neces- sary.

Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above 20 mph
(30 km/h) approximately) press switch 2
(+) or 3 (-): the speed is stored.
Cruise control activation is confirmed
when indicator light 6 is lit up in green
in addition to indicator light 7.
Switching on
Press switch 1 on the side showing
Ï.
Indicator light
7 on the instrument panel lights up to indicate that the cruise con- trol function is in operation.When the function is activated, the message ‘Cruise control’ appears on the instrument panel accompanied by dashes.
