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.

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.

Hill descent control
This function enables the vehicle speed
to be limited to approximately 4 mph
(7 km/h), without depressing the brake
pedal (when driving down a steep hill).
Activating/deactivating the system
– Activating: press button 1. The
message “HDC on” appears on the
instrument panel.
– Deactivating: press button 1 again:
the message “HDC off” appears on
the instrument panel.
Starting the system
With the vehicle travelling downhill at
less than 15 mph (25 km/h) in first or re-
verse gear (position D or R for vehicles
with an automatic transmission), press
switch 2 to switch to “4WD Lock” mode.
Once a sufficient gradient is detected,
the
• indicator light appears on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the
“HDC operational” message.
Note: if the vehicle speed exceeds
24 mph (40 km/h), the transmission
switches automatically to “AUTO” mode
(the
• indicator light goes out).
The system can be reactivated by
pressing “4WD Lock” when the vehicle
speed drops below 24 mph (40 km/h).
1
With the engine cold, the
automatic hill descent con-
trol function can be de-
activated temporarily (the
• warning light goes out).
When the engine temperature rises,
the warning light comes on again
and the function is available.
The automatic hill descent control
system may be deactivated tempo-
rarily if there is a risk of the braking
system overheating.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.
This system does not operate when
the gear lever is in neutral (position
N or P for vehicles with an auto-
matic transmission), or if the vehicle
is travelling on flat ground.
2
The hill descent control system is de-
activated as soon as you depress the
brake pedal or the accelerator pedal,
and reactivated as soon as you release
it.

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

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.

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

off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.
