2016 RENAULT ESPACE windscreen

1.93
D slow continuous wiping
E fast continuous wiping
Positions A and D are accessible
with the ignition on. Positions C
and E are accessible only with the
engine running.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
automatic wiping, the wiper is set to
intermittent wiping. Contact an au-
thorised dealer.
The operation of the rain sensor can
be disturbed in the event of:
– damaged wiper blades; a screen
of water or traces left by a blade in
the sensor’s detection zone may
increase the response time of the
automatic wiper, or increase the
wiping frequency;
– a windscreen with any chip or
crack level with the sensor, or a
windscreen covered in dust, dirt,
insects, ice, the use of washing
wax and water-repellent chemi-
cals; the automatic wiping will
be less sensitive, or even unres-
ponsive.
WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (3/6)
Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping
speed slows down whenever the vehi-
cle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and
cancels the automatic function.
Precautions
– In the event of ice, check whether the
blades are stuck to the windscreen
before operating the wiping mecha-
nism. If you activate the wipers while
the blades are stuck down with ice,
you may risk damaging both the
blade and the wiper motor.
– Do not activate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to the prema-
ture wear or damage to the blades.

Before any action involving
the windscreen (washing
the vehicle, de-icing,
cleaning the windscreen,
etc.) return stalk 1 to position B
(stop).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
In the event of obstacles present
on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice,
etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu-
ding the central area located behind
the interior rear-view mirror) and
the rear screen before starting the
wipers (risk of motor overheating).
If an object is preventing a blade
from moving, it may stop functio-
ning. Remove the obstacle and
reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.
WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (4/6)
Note:
Once the wipers have been switched
off, at least 1 minute after locking the
vehicle, it is possible to manually move
the blades. Do not force the blade arms
to move. This may risk damage to the
wiper motor, the arms and the blades.
After your intervention, to reposition the
blades correctly, make sure the blades
are resting on the windscreen, switch
on the ignition and activate the wiper
control.
The blade on the driver’s side must
always be above the passenger blade.
If this is not the case, a quick sweep of
the windscreen wipers should be per-
formed once the vehicle is travelling at
over 4 mph (7 km/h).
Specific front wiper position
(service position)
This position enables the blades to be
lifted to remove them from the winds-
creen.
This can be useful:
– to clean the blades;
– to release the blades from the winds-creen in winter;
– to replace the blades (please refer to the information on the “Wiper
blades” in Section 5).
With the ignition on and the engine off,
lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully
(fast continuous wipe position). The
wiper arms stop in a position away from
the bonnet.
To return the blades to position, make
sure they have been placed on the
windscreen, then move the stalk to po-
sition B (stop) with the ignition on.
Before switching on the ignition,
place the wipers on the windscreen.
Otherwise, there may a risk of damage
to the bonnet or the wipers when they
are switched on.

1.95
Note:
In temperatures below zero, the washer
liquid risks freezing to the windscreen,
thereby reducing visibility. Heat the
windscreen using the demister control
before cleaning.
Windscreen washer
With the ignition on, pull stalk 1 then
release.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep
of the wipers, in addition to the winds-
creen washer.
A longer pull will trigger three sweeps
of the wipers followed, a few seconds
later, by a fourth, in addition to the
windscreen washer.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in position B (stop).
Risk of injury.

Note:
To ensure the headlight washers ope-
rate correctly in winter, remove snow
from the jet trims and de-ice the jet
trims using an aerosol de-icer.
You are recommended to regularly
remove dirt encrusted on the headlight
glass.
When the minimum windscreen washer
fluid level is reached, the headlight
washer system may be deprimed.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid and
then activate the windscreen washer,
with the engine running, to reprime
the system.

Headlight washers
Headlights on
On equipped vehicles, hold stalk 1
pulled towards you for about 2 seconds
- the headlight washers and winds-
creen washers will be activated at the
same time.
The headlight washers are also activa-
ted after three prolonged movements
on the front windscreen washer control.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in position B (stop).

Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the winds- creen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.
YRear screen wiper
With the ignition on, turn ring 3
on stalk 1 to align the symbol with
mark 2.
– stop;
– intermittent wiping. The wipers will pause for several
seconds between sweeps. Wiping
frequency varies with vehicle
speed;
– slow continuous wiping. To stop the operation, pivot ring
3 again.
Note:
When washing using a roller type car
wash, return the ring 3 on the stalk 1
to the stop position to deactivate auto-
matic wiping.
Follow usage recommendations.
Before any action involving
the rear screen (washing
the vehicle, de-icing, clean-
ing, etc.) return stalk 1 to
the stop position.
Risk of injury and/or damage.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (1/3)
This function is a driving aid in the event of the accidental crossing o\
f
a continuous or broken line in the road. However, the function is not in-
tended to replace the driver. The function can be disrupted under certain
conditions, including:
– poor visibility (rain, snow, fog, dirty windscreen, glare of the sun, partially obs- cured road lines, etc.);
– roads with tight bends;
– closely following a vehicle in the same lane;
– worn road markings, difficult to distinguish or spaced very widely apart;
– narrow roads;
– ...
In this case, the line visibility indicators remain uncoloured on the in\
strument
panel to indicate that the function will not operate (lines not detecte\
d).
Under no circumstances should this function replace the driver’s care or res-
ponsibility whilst performing manoeuvres.
This system notifies the driver when
they accidentally cross a continuous or
broken line.
This function uses a camera attached
to the windscreen, behind the rear-view
mirror.
On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.

2.49
OVERSPEED ALERT (1/3)
The overspeed alert with signage panel
recognition notifies the driver that they
are exceeding the speed limit for the
section of road on which they are cur-
rently travelling.Special situations
– If the vehicle is travelling in a coun-
try where the speed units differ from
those of the vehicle, the system dis-
plays the speed limit sign in the unit
of the country, alongside the speed
limit converted to the unit used by the
vehicle’s instrument panel.
– For countries where the speed limit is reduced during rainy weather on
some types of roads, the system can
modify the limited speed after a few
seconds of wiping the windscreen.
– The system does not take into ac- count exceptional speed limit meas-
ures, such as peak pollution days.
On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.
1Operating principle
The system detects speed limit signs
on the side of the road and displays the
speed limit.
It mainly uses information taken from
the camera 1 , attached to the wind-
screen behind the rear-view mirror.
Note: Make sure the windscreen is not
obstructed (dirt, ice, snow, etc.).
The system also uses information from
other vehicle systems (navigation GPS,
etc.).
Once the speed limiter is activated, you
can adjust the speed limiter indication
displayed by the system.
In the event of exceeding the speed
limit, the sign display is modified (the
characters change to red or the circle
around the sign flashes) no notify you.

OVERSPEED ALERT (2/3)
Activating/deactivating the
system
On the multifunction screen 2, select
the “Vehicle” menu, followed by “Driving
assistance”, “Speed alert settings”,
“Speed warning”, then choose “ON” or
“OFF”.
With the function activated and de-
pending on local laws, you can activate
the “increased vigilance zones”. The
system will notify you of the distance
separating you from this zone, and
while you are travelling in the zone.
Varying the limit speed
If the speed limiter notification differs
from the detected speed value, press
and hold switch 4:
– side a (+) to increase the notification
speed to the detected speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the notification
speed to the detected speed.
Operating fault
The system cannot detect the speed
limit if:
– the windscreen is not clean;
– the camera is blinded by the sun;
– there is insufficient visibility (night, fog, etc.);
– the signs are not legible (snow, etc.) or are hidden (by another vehicle or
by trees);
– the information taken from a naviga- tion system is not up to date.
