For manual gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released. If the warning light
 blinks, this
means that the clutch pedal is not
sufficiently released;
and
– the vehicle speed is less than ap- proximately 7 mph (3 km/h).
For all vehicles:
Warning light
 on the instrument
panel appears when the engine is on
standby.
The vehicle equipment remains opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
STOP AND START FUNCTION (1/4)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the
engine (standby) when the vehicle is
at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
Conditions for engine
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it
was parked;
For automatic gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in position D, M or N;
and
– the brake pedal is pressed (suffi- ciently hard);
and
– the accelerator pedal is not pressed;
and
– the speed is zero for around 1 second.
The engine remains on standby if posi-
tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the parking brake engaged
and the brake pedal released.
If the engine is put in
standby, the electronic par-
king brake (depending on
the vehicle) is not applied
automatically.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer ope-
rational.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, the clutch pedal is
pressed slightly and then the engine
will start it again.
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
 on the
instrument panel).
The ignition must be
switched off before leaving
the vehicle (please see
section on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine”).

 is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
engine standby is not available.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function when perfor-
ming any operations in the
engine compartment.
Special cases for vehicles
with a RENAULT card
With the engine on standby (traffic jam,
traffic lights, etc.), if the driver unfas-
tens the seat belt and opens the driv-
er’s door, or gets out of the seat, the
ignition is switched off.
The assisted parking brake is applied
automatically.
To restart and reactivate the Stop and
Start system, start the engine (please
refer to “Starting, stopping the engine”
in Section 2).
Special cases of vehicles
with a key
With the engine on standby (traffic
jam, traffic lights, etc.), if you get out of
the vehicle, a beep warns you that the
engine is on standby and has not been
stopped.
After engine standby, even
driver takes off the vehicle,
it could be restarted. Please
check the safety before you
leave.

Press switch 1 to deactivate the func-
tion. The message “Stop & Start deac-
tivated” will appear on the instrument
panel and the integrated warning light 2
on the switch will light up.
Pressing again will reactivate the
system. The message “Stop & Start ac-
tivated” will appear on the instrument
panel and the integrated warning light 2
on switch 1 will go out.
Note: With the engine on standby,
press switch 1 to automatically re-
start the engine.
The system is automatically reactivated
each time the vehicle is started (see
“Stop and Start function” in Section 2).
Operating faults
When the message “Check Stop &
Start” appears on the instrument panel
and the integrated warning light 2 lights
up on the switch 1, the system is deac-
tivated.
Please consult an authorised dealer.
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition (please see
section on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in section 2).Special feature of vehicles with
a key: for some of these condi-
tions the automatic restarting of the
engine is inhibited if a front door is
open.

2.20
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.
Please contact an authorised dealer
as soon as possible.
– If there is an assisted parking brake fault, the warning light
® comes
on, along with the message “Braking
system fault”, a beep and, in some
cases, the warning light
}.
This means that you must stop as
soon as traffic conditions allow.
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 selector
lever to position P. This is
because when the vehicle
is stationary with the engine running
and a gear engaged, the vehicle
may begin to move if you accele-
rate.
There is a risk of accidents.
If no lights or sounds are
apparent, this indicates
a fault in the instrument
panel. This indicates that
it is essential to stop immediately
(as soon as traffic conditions allow).
Ensure that the vehicle is correctly
immobilised and contact an appro-
ved Dealer.
In the event of message
“Electric failure DANGER”
or “Check battery”, manu-
ally activate the electronic
parking brake by pulling switch 1 (or
position the gear lever in P for au-
tomatic gearboxes) before stopping
the engine.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of the
vehicle.
Contact an authorised dealer.

2.26
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.

2.33
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/4)
The traction control system offers ad-
ditional safety. It is recommended that
you do not drive with the function di-
sabled. Correct this as soon as pos-
sible by pressing the switch 1 again.
Note: The function is reactivated auto-
matically when the ignition is switched
on or when a speed of approximately
24 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded.
Emergency brake assistThis system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In this case, the brak-
ing assistance immediately develops
maximum power and may trigger ABS
regulation. ABS braking is maintained
as long as the brake pedal is not re-
leased.
Hazard warning lights illumination
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.
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).
Deactivating the function
(depending on vehicle)
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel-
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The message “ESC off” is displayed on
the instrument panel to inform you.

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.
