Handbrake
To release:
Pull lever
2 up slightly, press button 3 and then lower the lever to the floor.The red warning light on the instrument panel will light up if you are driving with an incorrectly released handbrake.

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.

– Brake as little as possible by suitably anticipating an obstacle or bend and then simply releasing the accelerator pedal.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in
- termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi- ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with an automatic trans- mission, it is preferable to keep the
gear lever in position D.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on level roads. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off the engine are unnecessary in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads.
Do not drive through floods if the depth of water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub- stances may be released into the at- mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in- strument panel will indicate if there are any faults in the system:This lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out when the engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult
your approved dealer as soon as possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.
Driving
– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the vehicle is sta- tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)

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).

Emergency brake assist
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).
This system supplements the ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis- tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer- gency braking situation. In this case, the braking assistance immediately de- velops maximum power and may trig- ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights
switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may light up in the event of sudden decel- eration.

system
You can deactivate the system for pro- longed periods by pressing the switch for longer than approximately three seconds.
The warning light built into the switch remains lit constantly.
Once deactivated, the system can be reactivated by pressing the button again for longer than approximately three seconds.
Temporary deactivation of
the system

An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de-
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an ap- proved Dealer.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
In the event of a puncture, use the kit which is located under the luggage compartment carpet on equipped ve-
hicles: open the kit, remove the caps 1
and 4 (it is essential not to remove the bursting disc from the bottle) and screw
bottle 2 in place of cap 4.
Do not pull out the foreign body causing the puncture if it is still in the tyre.
With the ignition on,
– adapter
8 must be connected to ve-
hicle accessories socket 9;
– unscrew the valve cap of the wheel
concerned and screw on the inflation
adapter 6;
– press switch
3 to inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (refer to the information on “Tyre pressure”);
– after a maximum of
7 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
the pressure gauge 5).
Note: while the bottle is emptying (ap- proximately 30 seconds), the pressure
gauge 5 will indicate briefly a pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure drops.
