STEERING WHEEL, POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
Height and reach adjustment
Pull lever 1 and move the steering
wheel to the required position; then
push the lever beyond the point of re-
sistance to lock the steering wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).

Variable power-assisted
steering
It is equipped with a system which
adapts the level of assistance to the ve-
hicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Do not drive with a low battery
charge. The steering wheel may not
operate correctly.
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.
A noise may be heard when the
steering wheel is moved quickly.
This is normal.

unexpected or that you are obliged to
drive under special conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard
warning lights may come on auto-

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (2/3)
Cornering lights
Depending on the vehicle, if the dipped
beam headlights are on when corner-
ing, and under certain driving condi-
tions (speed, steering wheel angle,
etc.), additional lights are switched on
to light the inside of the bend.
Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, move ring 3 to the OFF po-
sition;
– automatically, the lights are switched
off when the engine is switched off
or when the driver’s door is opened.
In this case, the next time the engine
is started the lights will be switched
back on according to the position of
the ring 3.
Lights-on warning buzzer
If the lights are on after the engine is
switched off, a warning beep sounds
when the driver’s door is opened to
warn you that the lights are still on.
“See-me-home lighting”
function
This function (useful, for example, for
opening a gate, garage, etc.) enables
you to switch the dipped headlights on
momentarily.
With the engine and lights off and
ring 3 in the OFF position, pull stalk 1
towards you: the dipped beam head-
lights light up for approximately thirty
seconds.
This action may be carried out no more
than ten times for a maximum lighting
period of ten minutes.
To switch off the lights before they go
out automatically, turn the ring on the
stalk 1, then return it to the OFF posi-
tion.

same frequency as the card (moni-
tor, mobile phone, video game, etc.);

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while.
There is a risk that they could start
the engine or operate electrical
equipment (electric windows etc.)
and trap part of their body (neck,
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a complete
stop. Switching off the engine dis-
ables the assistance equipment:
brakes, steering, etc., and passive
safety equipment such as airbags
and pretensioners.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES (2/5)
Electronic stability control
ESC with understeer control
and traction control ASR
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
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.Traction control ASR
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
lit indicates that the ESC system
(with the ASR) is active.Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check ESC” and
warning light
© and appear
on the instrument panel. In this case,
the ESC and ASR are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
