gency, the engine can be
restarted by pressing on the
clutch pedal if the Stop and
Start function is activated.
The system reactivates automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started
using the start button (please refer
to “Starting, stopping the engine” in

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (2/3)Special cases
When parking on a slope or towing a
trailer, pull switch 3 for a few seconds
to obtain the maximum braking effect.
To park the vehicle without applying the
electronic parking brake (if there is a
risk of freezing, for example):
– with the engine running and RENAULT card in reader 4, switch
off the engine by pressing engine
Start/Stop button 1;
– select a gear (manual gearbox) or position P (automatic gearbox);
– depress the brake pedal and press switch 3 at the same time;
– remove the RENAULT card from the card reader.
Brief stopTo manually activate the electronic
parking brake, (when stopping at a red
light, or stopping when the engine is
running, etc.): pull and release switch 3.
The brake is released as soon as the
vehicle is started up again.Manual operationYou can control the electronic parking
brake manually.
Applying the electronic parking
brake
Pull switch 3. Indicator lights 2 and
} light up on the instrument panel.
Releasing the electronic parking
brake
With the ignition on, depress the brake
pedal then press switch 3: the warning
light 2 and the warning light
} go
off on the instrument panel.

– If there is an electronic parking brake fault, the
® warning light comes
on, accompanied by the “Parking
brake fault” message, a beep and,
in some cases, the
} warning
light.
This means that you must stop as
soon as traffic conditions allow.
Operating faults
– If there is a fault, the © warning
light illuminates on the instrument
panel accompanied by the “Check
parking brake” message and, in
some cases, the
} warning
light.
Contact an approved Dealer as soon
as possible.
Versions with an automatic
gearbox
For safety reasons, automatic release
is deactivated when the driver’s door
is open or not shut properly and the
engine is running (in order to prevent
the vehicle from moving without the
driver). The “Release parking brake
manually” message appears on the
instrument panel when the driver de-
presses the accelerator.
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (3/3)
It is therefore essential to
immobilise the vehicle by
engaging first gear (manual
gearbox) or position P (au-
tomatic gearbox). If the slope re-
quires it, chock the vehicle.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selec-
tor lever to position P or N.
This is because when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine
running and a gear engaged, the
vehicle may begin to move if you
accelerate.
There is a risk of accidents.If no lights or sounds are ap-
parent, this indicates a fault
in the instrument panel. This
indicates that it is essential
to stop immediately (as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow). Ensure that the
vehicle is correctly immobilised and
contact an approved Dealer.
2.18
MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life, which will come
into force in 2015.
Some of the parts on your vehicle have
been designed to be recycled later.
These parts are easily removable in
order to be collected and reprocessed
in recycling networks.
Furthermore, by virtue of its design,
moderate fuel consumption and initial
settings, your vehicle also conforms
to current anti-pollution regulations.
The manufacturer is actively striving
to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emis-
sions and to save energy. However,
the fuel consumption of your vehicle
and the level of pollutant exhaust gas
emissions are also your responsibility.
Ensure that it is maintained and used
correctly.Maintenance
It is important to remember that fail-
ure to respect anti-pollution regulations
could lead to legal action being taken
against the vehicle owner.
In addition, replacing engine, fuel
supply system and exhaust compo-
nents with parts other than those origi-
nally recommended by the manufac-
turer may alter your vehicle so that it
no longer complies with anti-pollution
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an authorised dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– Air filter, fuel filter: a choked ele-
ment will reduce efficiency. It must
be replaced.
– Idle speed: no adjustment is needed.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
an authorised dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/5)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger 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.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check brak-
ing system” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer. Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trig-
gered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.
Electronic stability program
(ESC) with understeer control
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 driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
flashes on the instrument panel.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (2/2)Adjustment
From the vehicle settings customisation
menu (please refer to the information
on the “Vehicle settings customisation
menu” in Section 1), you can:
– adjust the alert audio volume. To do this, select “lane departure alert:
volume” (five levels);
– adjust the alert sensitivity. To do this, select “lane departure alert: sensiti-
vity” (three levels).
Deactivation
Press button 1 on the central rear-view
mirror.
The warning light on button 1 goes out,
accompanied by a message on the ins-
trument panel “Lane departure warning
de-activated”.
Operating faults
In the event of a malfunction, a mes-
sage “Lane departure warning check” is
displayed on the instrument panel, and
the warning light on button 1 stays off.
Consult an approved dealer.
The function sounds the alarm if:
a line is crossed without activating the
indicator lights. The function alerts the
driver through warning light
on
the instrument panel, along with a beep.
Conditions for non-activation
of alerts
– Indicators activated or having been activated less than approximately
four seconds prior to departing from
the lane;
– Very fast lane departure;
– Driving continuously on a line;
– On bends, the function allows for slightly cutting the bend;
– ...
