Système de surveillance de pression des pneumatiques (L38 - X38 - Re\
nault)
ENG_NU_891_892-7_L38-B32_Renault_2
This system monitors the tyre pressure.
Depending on the vehicle, the infor -
mation is displayed on the instrument
panel. In this case, they appear:
– with the ignition on, when scrolling
through the trip computer and warn-
ing system information by pressing
control 2 (refer to the information
on the “trip computer and warning
system” in Section 1);
– or if there is a fault when driving
(refer to the following pages to find
out more about the warning mes -
sages).
Tyre pressure monitor
This function is an addi -
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig -
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
tyRe PReSSURe MONIt OR (1/3)
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure.
The system informs the driver via trip
computer 1 that the tyres are suffi -
ciently inflated and warns if they are
underinflated or leaking.
t he tyre pressure can be adjusted
when cold (refer to the information on
“Tyre pressures”).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom -
mended pressures must be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Changing a wheel
If you wish to change your wheels (fit-
ting winter tyres etc.), the system will
reset itself automatically after approx -
imately two minutes driving at a mini -
mum speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).

Changing a wheel
The system may take sev -
eral minutes depending on
use for the new wheel po -
sitions and pressures to be recog -
nised; check the tyre pressures after
all operations.

Régulateur-limiteur de vitesse : fonction limiteur (L38 - X38 - X32 \
- B32 - Renault)
ENG_NU_891_892-7_L38-B32_Renault_2
Varying the limit speed
The limit speed may be changed by re-
peatedly pressing:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the brak-
ing system.
CRUISe CONtROL, SPeeD LIMIteR: speed limiter (2/6)
Driving
When a limited speed has been stored
and this speed is not reached, driving is
similar to driving a vehicle without the
speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored
speed, no effort on the accelera-
tor pedal will allow you to exceed
the programmed speed except in an
emergency (refer to information on
“Exceeding the limit speed”).
exceeding the limit speed
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).
While the speed is being exceeded, the
programmed speed displayed on the
instrument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator pedal:
the speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower than
the stored speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
limit speed: the stored speed will flash
on the instrument panel information dis-
play to inform you of this situation.

CRUISe CONtROL, SPeeD LIMIteR: cruise control function (3/8)
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the

Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed,
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera -
tor pedal. While it is being exceeded,
the cruising speed flashes on the in -
strument panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the

Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the acceler-
ator pedal. The cruising speed flashes
on the instrument panel along with the
illumination of zone C in red.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed on the
instrument panel will flash and zone C
will light up in red to inform you of this
situation.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is suspended when you:
– press switch 4 (O);
– depress the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into
neutral if the vehicle has an auto -
matic gearbox.
In all three cases, the cruising speed re-
mains stored, it is no longer displayed in
zone 6 and the message “ Memorised”
along with the stored speed will appear
on the instrument panel.
Standby is confirmed when zones A, B
and C go out.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

Driving in automatic mode
Select position D. In most traffic con -
ditions, you will not have to touch the
gear selector lever again: the gears will
change automatically at the right time
and at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the particu-
lar driving style you have chosen.
economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
this will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

unlocking button 2.
With the foot on the brake pedal (warn-
ing light

move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi -
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re -
leased.

Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake or, depending
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
Special circumstances
– If the road contours and bends
do not allow you to stay in auto -
matic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),
we recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few mo-
ments before shifting the selector
lever from position P or N and en -
gaging D or R.
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards.
– To move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, electronic stability
program (ESP) operational etc.: ESC)
the automatic system may change gear
automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu -
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
AUt OMA tIC tRANSMISSION (2/3)
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
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.

Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation speed
by pressing buttons 12 to increase or
reduce the ventilation speed.
In this case, the ventilation speed,
which is no longer controlled automat-
ically, appears in zone A on the dis -
play 13.
Some buttons have an operating
tell-tale which indicates the operat -
ing status.

Temperature adjustment
Press one of the buttons 1 or 6 to in -

2 seconds sets the passenger tempera-
ture to the driver’s temperature.
Special note: the highest and lowest
settings allow the system to produce
maximum hot or cold temperature
levels (“LO” and “HI” on display 13).
