2016 RENAULT KADJAR traction control

2.41
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and
traction control when driving off-
road
When driving on soft ground (sand,
mud, deep snow), we recommend that
you deactivate the ESC function by
pressing the “ESC” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel brak-
ing remains active. This function ap-
plies the brake to any wheel that is slip-
ping, allowing the engine torque to be
transferred to the wheels with the most
grip. This is particularly useful when
crossing a bridge.
All the ESC functions will be reacti-
vated when the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 31 mph (50 km/h) (24.8
mph [40 km/h] in 4WD Lock mode),
when the engine is restarted or when
the “ESC” switch is pressed again.Operating faults
If the system detects an operating fault,
it automatically switches to “2WD”
mode. The message “Check 4WD” is
displayed on the instrument panel, and
the
‘ and © warning lights
come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a moder-
ate speed to an approved dealer.
For certain operating faults, the system
may not be able to switch to “2WD" or
"4WD Lock" mode. "AUTO" mode re-
mains active.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
After stopping the engine, the system
may take up to five minutes to cool
down.
If the system detects excessive wheel-
spin on the front wheels, it adapts the
engine to run in a way that reduces
wheelspin.
Anti-lock braking in
LOCK mode
When “4WD Lock" mode is active, the
ABS switches to off-road mode. In this
case, the wheels may lock intermit-
tently to achieve better grip, thus reduc-
ing braking distances on soft ground.
When this mode is active:
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is lim- ited during braking. This operating
mode is therefore not recommended
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
– there may be some noise. This is normal, and does not indicate an op-
erating fault.
