2016 RENAULT TWINGO ESP

2.15
ENVIRONMENT
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of
the manufacturer eco² signature.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
a factory which complies with a policy
to reduce the environmental impact
on the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and energy consumption, visual
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste).
Emissions
In usage phase, your vehicle was de-
signed to emit fewer greenhouse gases
(CO2) and therefore consume less fuel.
Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a cata-
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter pre-
vents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).
Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too
– Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations.
– At the end of the vehicle’s service life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis- lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).

2.16
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)
When fitted to the vehicle, this system
notifies the driver if one or more tyres
lose pressure.
Operating principle
Each wheel has a sensor in the inflation
valve which periodically measures the
tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punctu-
red tyre, etc.).
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
This function is an additio-
nal driving aid.
However, the function is
not intended to replace the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circum-stances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures once a
month.

Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– anti-lock braking system (ABS);
– electronic stability control (ESC) with understeer control, traction
control and assistance with side
winds;
– emergency brake assist;
– hill start assistance.Operating faults:
–
© and x come on on the
instrument panel: ABS, ESC and
emergency brake assist are deacti-
vated. Braking is always enabled;
–
x, D, © and ®
come on on the instrument panel:
this indicates a fault in the brak-
ing system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any
way improve the vehicle's physical per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. It is still essential to
follow the rules of good driving practice
(such as driving at a safe distance from
the vehicle in front etc.).
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/4)
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.

2.21
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/4)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
The system allows an emergency brak-
ing situation to be detected when the
brake pedal is pressed. In this case, the
braking assistance immediately devel-
ops 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.
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.
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.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the warning light
© comes
on on the instrument panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).

2.28
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in
heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-
pery roads (black ice, aquaplan-
ing, gravel) and during bad weather
(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Cruising speed activation, storage and increase switch (+).
3 Decreasing cruising speed (-).
4 Activation with recall of saved cruis- ing speed (R).
5 Switch the function to standby (with cruising speed saved) (O).

Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the
rear bumper (depending on the vehi-
cle), measure the distance between
the vehicle and an obstacle whilst re-
versing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
NB: make sure that the ultrasonic sen-
sors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
Operation
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds
and, depending on the vehicle, the dis-
play 1 comes on.
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between t\
he vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing,
using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: alw\
ays ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such
as a child, animal, pram or bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects suc\
h as stones or posts in your path when manoeuvring.

Note:
– ensure that the reversing camera is not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, etc.);
– depending on the vehicle, certain settings can be adjusted from the
touch screen 2 . Refer to the hand-
book for the equipment.OperationWhen going into reverse gear (and up
to around 5 seconds after shifting into
another gear), the camera 1 placed
next to the lights transmits a view of
the rear surroundings of the vehicle on
the touch screen 2, accompanied by a
mobile and fixed gauge.
This system is initially used with the aid
of several gauges (mobile for trajectory
and fixed for distance). When the red
zone is reached, use the bumper image
to stop accurately.This function is an additio-
nal aid. It cannot, therefore,
under any circumstances
replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always pay at-
tention to sudden incidents during
driving: always ensure that there
are no moving obstacles (such as
a child, animal, pram, bicycle, etc.)
or small, narrow objects such as
stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.

Dynamic gauge 3 (depending on the
vehicle)
This is shown in blue on screen 2. It in-
dicates the vehicle trajectory according
to the position of the steering wheel.
Static guide line 4:
The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markers A, B and C , indicat-
ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centi-
metres from the vehicle;
– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-
metres from the vehicle;
– C (green) approximately 150 centi-
metres from the vehicle.

The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation projected onto flat ground; this informa\
tion must
not be taken into account when superimposed on a vertical object or an o\
bject
on the ground.
Objects which appear on the edge of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in sunshine etc.), the camera vision may be
adversely affected. If the boot is open or poorly closed, the warning light
2 ap-
pears on the instrument panel and, depending on the vehicle, the camera \
display
disappears.

This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.
