Power-assisted steering
Variable power-assisted steering
The variable power assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) while
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Never leave the steering wheel at
full lock while stationary.
Do not switch off the engine
when driving downhill and,
as a general rule, when
driving (the power-assisted
steering and brake cannot operate
normally).
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.

Adjusting the steering wheel
height and depth
Lower the lever 1 and position the
steering wheel in the required position.
Then, raise the lever fully, beyond the
point of resistance to lock the steering
wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (6/6)
fRear fog lights
Turn centre ring 7 on the stalk
until the symbol faces mark 2, then re-
lease it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting selected, and an in-
dicator light will light up on the instru-
ment panel.
Do not forget to switch off the fog lights
when they are no longer needed, to
avoid inconveniencing other road
users.
Switching off the lights
Turn the ring 7 again until the mark 2
is opposite the symbol for the fog light
that you wish to switch off. The corre-
sponding indicator light on the instru-
ment panel goes out.
The fog lights switch off when the exte-
rior lights are switched off.
Cornering lights(depending on vehicle)
Whenever the dipped beam headlights
are on and under certain conditions (at
speed, the steering wheel at an angle,
in forward gear, the indicator lights on,
etc.), when taking a corner one of the
front fog lights will come on to light the
inside of the bend.
When driving in fog or snow, or
when transporting objects which are
higher than the roof, the headlights
do not come on automatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains
the responsibility of the driver: the
indicator lights on the instrument
panel inform you whether the fog
lights are lit (indicator light on) or not
(indicator light not on).

AUDIBLE AND VISUAL SIGNALS
Horn
Press the steering wheel boss A to ac-
tivate the horn.
Headlight flasher
Pull stalk 1 towards you to flash the
headlights.
éHazard warning lights
Press switch 2. This switch ac-
tivates all four direction indicators and
the side indicator lights simultaneously.
It must only be used in an emergency to
warn drivers of other vehicles that you
have had to stop in an area where stop-
ping is prohibited or unexpected or that
you are obliged to drive under special
conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard
warning lights may come on automati-
cally under heavy deceleration. You can
switch them off by pressing switch 2.
Direction indicators
Move stalk 1 parallel to the steering
wheel and in the direction you are going
to turn it.
One-touch mode
When driving, it is possible that the
steering wheel may not be turned suf-
ficiently to return the stalk automatically
to its starting position.
In this case, briefly turn stalk 1 to the in-
termediate position, then release it: the
stalk returns to its original point and the
indicator light flashes three times.2

STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with key
Starting the engine
Petrol versions– Activate the starter without ac-
celerating;
– release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
ÉDiesel versions
– Turn the ignition key to the
“Ignition on” position M, and hold
this position until the engine pre-
heating light goes off;
– turn the key to starter position D
without depressing the accel-
erator pedal;
– release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Special note: if starting the engine
when the outdoor temperature is very
low (below - 10 ° C): hold down the
clutch pedal until the engine starts.
Never start your vehicle
while freewheeling on a
gradient. Risk of non-ac-
tivation of power-assisted
steering.
There is a risk of accidents.
Never switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has
stopped completely. Once
the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as air bags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key to
the “Stop” position St.

2.5
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with RENAULT CARD (1/3)
The RENAULT card must be inserted in
detection zone 1.
To start:
– vehicles with an automatic gearbox, place the lever in position P, depress
the brake pedal and press button 2;
– vehicles with a manual gearbox, depress the brake or clutch pedal
and press the button 2 . If a gear is
engaged, the vehicle may only be
started by depressing the clutch
pedal.
“Hands-free” starting with
the tailgate open
In this case, the RENAULT card should
not be located in the boot, to avoid any
risk of loss.

Special features
– If one of starting conditions is not ap- plied, the message “Press brake +

strument panel;
– in some cases, it will be necessary to move the steering wheel while press-
ing the start button 1 to assist in un-
locking the steering column. A mes-
sage on the instrument panel “Turn
steeringwheel + START” warns of
this.

Electronic stability control
ESC with understeer control
and traction 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
\b 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).
Traction control
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.

Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check ESC” and
warning light
© and \b appear
on the instrument panel.
In this case, the ESC and traction con-
trol system are deactivated. Consult an
authorised dealer.
