Système antiblocage des roues (ABS) (X81 - J81 - Renault)

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.

Assistance au freinage d’urgence
EMERGENcY BRAKE ASSIST
This system is complementary to the
ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
Operating principle
The system allows an emergency brak-
ing situation to be detected via a sensor
that measures the speed with which the
brake pedal is depressed. In this case,
the braking assistance instantly pro -
vides its maximum power.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights
activation
These may light up in the event of rapid
deceleration.
In this case, the hazard warning lights
may be switched off by pressing the
hazard warning lights switch twice.
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).

cRUISE cONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: limiter function
The speed limiter function helps you
stay within the driving speed limit that
you choose.
This may be useful, for example, driving
in urban areas or areas with a speed re-
striction (roadworks), etc.
The system operates from a driving
speed of about 18 mph (30 km/h).controls

cRUISE cONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: limiter function (continued)
Switching onPress switch 1 on the side showing
Ì.
The indicator light on the instrument
panel lights up and, depending on the
vehicle, the trip computer or the infor -
mation display enters “speed limiter”
mode.
Limiting the speedAt a constant speed (above about
18 mph (30 km/h)) and in the correct
gear (for vehicles with manual gear -
boxes), press switch 2 : the speed is
stored.
Driving
When a limit speed has been memo -
rised, if this speed is not reached the
vehicle behaves in a similar way to a
vehicle without the speed limiter func -
tion.
Once this speed is reached, no effort
on the accelerator pedal will allow
you to exceed the programmed speed
except in an emergency (refer to infor-
mation on “Exceeding the limit speed”).
The system is designed in such a
way that it is possible to detect a dif-
ference between the programmed
speed and the speed shown on the
instrument panel.
v arying the limit speed
The limit speed may be changed by
pressing repeatedly or holding down:
– button 2 to increase the speed,
– button 5 to decrease the speed.

cRUISE cONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: limiter function (continued)
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency
It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any moment. To do this: depress
the accelerator pedal firmly and fully
(beyond the kickdown point).
The speed flashes on the instrument
panel (trip computer and warning
system) while the speed is being ex -
ceeded.
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 memorised speed
on the instrument panel information dis-
play will flash to inform you of this situ-
ation.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is interrupted
when you press:
– button 4, in this case, the limit speed
remains memorised,
– button 1 , in this case, there is no
longer a memorised limit speed.
The instrument panel indicator light
goes out, confirming that the function is
stopped.
Recalling the limit speed
It is possible to recall a memorised
speed by pressing button 3 once.

cRUISE cONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (continued)
Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
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.
The system is designed in such a
way that it is possible to detect a dif-
ference between the programmed
speed and the speed shown on the
instrument panel.
Switching on
Press switch 1 on the side showing
Í.
The indicator light in the instrument
panel lights up and, depending on the
vehicle, the trip computer or the infor -
mation display enters cruise control
mode.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above 18 mph
(30 km/h)) and in the correct gear (for
vehicles with manual gearboxes), press
switch 2 or 5 : the function is activated
and the speed is stored.

Putting the function on
standby
The function is interrupted when you:
– depress the brake pedal,
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into
neutral if the vehicle has an auto -
matic gearbox,
– press button 4.
In all three cases, the cruising speed is
memorised.
Recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been memorised, it is
possible to recall it by pressing button 3,
on condition that you are driving faster
than 18 mph (30 km/h) and that you
are sure that the driving conditions are
suitable (traffic, road surface condition,
weather conditions, etc.).
Switching off the function
Press on/off switch 1 : in this case, the
speed is no longer stored.
The instrument panel indicator light
goes out, confirming that the function is
stopped.
Pressing button 2 or 5 reactivates
the cruise control function without
taking into account the memorised
speed: it is the speed at which the
vehicle is moving that is taken into
account.Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

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.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved
Dealer.
