ENG_UD10561_1Système antiblocage des roues : ABS (X85 - B85 - C85 - S85 - K85 - Renault)ENG_NU_853-3_BCSK85_Renault_2
Under heavy braking, the essential re- quirements are to limit the stopping distance and keep your vehicle under control. However, there is a risk that roadholding and directional control may be lost and the wheels may lock under braking, depending on the nature of the ground, weather conditions and your reactions. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) has been designed to combat this danger.
The safety enhancement is that the brake control system prevents the wheels from locking, even if the brakes are applied too sharply, and allows the vehicle to be steered and thus its direc- tion to be controlled. Under these cir- cumstances it is quite possible for the driver to steer the vehicle and to avoid an obstacle whilst at the same time ap- plying the brake.
Anti-lock braking system: ABS
You will feel a pulsation through the brake pedal each time the system is ac- tivated. These tangible signs will warn you that the grip of the tyres on the ground has reached its limit and enable you to adapt your driving style to suit the road conditions.
This system also allows you to optimise stopping distances when the grip of one or more wheels may be lost (wet roads, slippery or varying road surfaces).
Although this system allows you to opti- mise stopping distances, the ABS does not allow you to increase vehicle per- formance, which is physically linked to the local conditions of tyre/road ad- hesion. It is still essential to follow the rules of good driving practice (such as driving at a safe distance from the vehi- cle in front). The fact that the vehicle’s safety has been increased should not encourage you to take risks.
ANTI-LOCk BRAkING SYSTEM: ABS (1/2)
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 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.
