DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES (3/5)
If you deactivate this function, the
traction control (ASR) system will
also be deactivated.
As the ESC and ASR provide enhanced
safety, it is not advisable to drive with
the function switched off. Correct
this as soon as possible by pressing
switch 1 again.
Note: the system is automatically reac-
tivated each time the engine is switched
off.
1
Disabling the ESC function
(including traction control (ASR)
system)
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.
Depending on the vehicle warning
light
or the message “ESC off”
is displayed on the instrument panel to
inform you.
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
Depending on the speed at which the
brake pedal is depressed, the system
will detect emergency braking. In this
case, the braking assistance immedi-
ately develops maximum power and
may trigger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.

Blind Spot Warning (X45 - H45 - Renault) ENG_NU_1057-1_H45_Ph3_Renault_2
BLIND SPOT WARNING (2/2)
Operating faults
If the system detects a faults, indicator
light on switch 3 flashes for 3 seconds
accompanied by the message “Check
Blind spot”. Consult an approved
dealer.
If you start the engine, indicator 1 and
switch 3 light flashes 3 times. It is
normal.2
3
First warningIndicator 2 lights up when it detects a
vehicle in the blind spot area.
Second warningWhen the direction indicator is turned
on and indicator 2 detects a vehicle
in the blind spot area of the direction
that you turned on the indicator light, it
flashes. If you turn off the direction indi-
cator it turns to first warning.
Conditions for non-function– If the object is not moving;
– If the traffic is heavy;
– When driving along a curved road;
– If front and rear sensors are detect-
ing an object at the same time(e.g. :
long truck);
DeactivationIf you push switch 3, the system is de-
activated and the message “Blind spot
deactivated“ appears on the instrument
panel. If you push it again the system is
activated and the message “Blind spot
activated” appears.
– If you replace, repair or
paint bumpers, the system
may have a fault.
– The system’s detecting
range follows normal lane width
and if you drive in narrow lane,
it may detect the vehicle over a
lane. If you drive in wide lane,
it may not detect the vehicle in
blind spot.
– The system can be deactivated
by strong electromagnetic waves.
Operation
Indicator 2 is turned on;
– When the vehicle speed is between
about 35 km/h and 140 km/h;
– A vehicle is in the blind spot area and
its driving direction is same as your
vehicle;
– When there is the speed gap under
about 15 km/h between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in the blind spot
area;
If the vehicle overtakes another vehi-
cle, indicator 2 will be turned on only if
the overtaken vehicle stays in the blind
spot for more than 1 second.

Régulateur-limiteur de vitesse : fonction régulateur (X45 - H45 - Renault) ENG_NU_1057-1_H45_Ph3_Renault_2
CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
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 the
gear lever into neutral on vehicles
with automatic transmissions or con-
tinuously variable transmissions.
In all three cases, the message
“Memorised” appears on the instrument
panel, followed by the stored speed.
Standby is confirmed when indicator
light
” goes out.
Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road condi-
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface,
weather conditions, etc.). With a ve-
hicle speed above 20 mph (30 km/h),
press switch 3 (R).
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control is sus-
pended, pressing switches 2 (+)
or 5 (-) reactivates the function with-
out taking into account the stored
speed: it is the speed at which the
vehicle is moving that is taken into
account.
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The instru-
ment panel green indicator lights
Î
and
” go out, confirming that the
function is deactivated.
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.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (5/6)
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
There are five possible combinations
for air distribution and these can be se-
lected by pressing buttons 12.
The indicator lights on the buttons show
which mode has been selected.
õ All the air flow is directed to the
demisting vents for the wind-
screen and the side windows.
÷All the air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents,
the side windows and the dashboard
vents.
This setting maintains the optimum
temperature level in cold weather.
FThe air flow is mainly directed
to the dashboard vents.
GThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents
and the dashboard vents.
This setting maintains the optimum
temperature level in warm weather.
JThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents
If manual mode is used for air distri-
bution, the operating indicator light
on button 3 goes out (automatic
mode). Only the air distribution func-
tion is no longer automatically con-
trolled by the system.
Press button 3 to return to auto-
matic mode.

Setting the air recirculation
mode
Pressing button 11 activates air recircu-
lation mode (the symbol lights up on the
display).
During recirculation, air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is re-
cycled, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation allows the passenger
compartment to be isolated from the
outside air (when driving in polluted
areas, etc.).Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air or automatic
recirculation) as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 11.
Flow of air from rear air
vents.
(depending on vehicle)
Repeatedly pressing buttons 13 or 17
enables the ventilation speed in the
rear seats to be modified, according to
three different settings:
– slow speed (indicator lights 14
and 18 on);
– fast speed (indicator lights 15 and 16
on);
– park.

– Before going through a roller type car
wash, return the windscreen wiper
stalk to the Park position (refer to
the information on the “Windscreen
wash/wipe” in Section 1). Check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights and mirrors, and
ensure that the wiper blades are se-
cured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing.
– Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc. with products approved
by our Technical Department to
protect them after they have been
cleaned.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
You should
– Observe the vehicle stopping dis-
tances when driving on gravelled
surfaces to prevent paint damage.
– Repair, or have repaired quickly,
areas where the paint has been
damaged, to prevent corrosion
spreading.
– Remember to visit the body shop
periodically if your vehicle has an
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Document.
– Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).– Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off, with cleaning products
recommended by our Technical
Department (never use abrasive
products) and be sure to jet-rinse off:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– bird droppings, which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint
that rapidly discolours paint-
work and may even cause the
paint to peel off;
Wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by pol-
ishing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel
arches and underneath the body
after driving in areas where the
roads have been gritted;
– mud in the wheel arches and un-
derneath the body which forms
damp patches.
