TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR
Fitting tyres(replacing tyres or fitting winter
tyres)
Since replacing tyres requires special
precautions, we advise you to contact
your approved dealer.
Reading the tyre pressure on the in-
strument panel (if fitted to the vehicle).
After the vehicle’s tyre pressures have
been checked, the warning messages
on the instrument panel and/or the
values read on the trip computer and
warning system are updated once you
exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
Non-interchangeability of
wheels
Each of the sensors incor -
porated in the valves 1 is
dedicated to a single wheel:
under no circumstances
should you swap the wheels.
There is a risk of incorrect informa-
tion which could have serious con -
sequences.
To mark the correct position of the
wheel, note the colour of ring 2 (after
cleaning, if necessary) on each valve:
A yellow ring
B black ring
C red ring
D green ring

TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR
Emergency spare wheel
The emergency spare wheel has no
sensor, and cannot be recognised by
the system.
When it is fitted in the place of another
wheel, the system then detects an op-
erating fault.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip -
ment (wheels, hubcaps, etc.).
Contact an approved dealer to find out
about accessories compatible with the
system and which may be purchased
from the brand’s accessory outlets: the
use of any other accessory could affect
the correct operation of the system.
Tyre repair products
Because the valves are specially de -
signed, use only products approved by
our Technical Department.
Display
Display 1 on the instrument panel in -
forms you of any tyre pressure faults
(flat tyre, punctured tyre, system fault,
etc.).

Contrôle dynamique de conduite : E.S.P. avec contrôle de sous-virage (X81 - J81 - Renault)
ENG_NU_932-3_X81ph3_Renault_2
Electronic Stability Program: ESP
ELEcTRONIc STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP
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.
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).
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. When the function begins to operate,
warning light
A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accom -
panied by the “ESP deactivated” mes -
sage when the engine is started, turn
the steering wheel from lock to lock to
reinitialise the system.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced unders-
teering (loss of front axle road holding).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat -
ing fault the message “Check ESP” ap-
pears on the instrument panel along
with the
ú warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.

TRAcTION cONTROL: ASR (2/2)
Disabling the function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel -
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The message “‘ESP deactivated” ap -
pears to inform you, accompanied by
warning light A.
Disabling the function also disables the
ESP function.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
Traction control is automatically reacti-
vated when the ignition is switched on.
Operating faults
If the system detects an operating fault,
the message “Check ESP” is displayed
on the instrument panel display along
with the
ú warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.
If the warning light comes on accom -
panied by the “ESP deactivated” mes -
sage when the engine is started, turn
the steering wheel from lock to lock to
reinitialise the system.

ANTI-LOcK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS (continued)
One of two situations may arise if there
is a fault in the ABS system:
1 – Orange warning light
x is lit
on the instrument panel.
Braking is still performed, but without
the ABS system. Contact an approved
Dealer as soon as possible.
2 – Orange warning light
x and red brake cir -
c u i t i n c i d e n t w a r n i n g
light
D are lit on the instru -
ment 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.
Also, on equipped vehicles, the mes -
sage “Check ABS” appears on the dis-
play A.
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.
