2018 RENAULT TWINGO ABS

1.46
xAnti-lock braking warning
light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it lights up when you are driving, it in-
dicates a fault in the anti-lock braking
system.
Braking will then be as normal, without
the ABS. Contact an approved Dealer
as soon as possible.
ÔCoolant temperature warn-
ing light
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on.
If it turns red, stop and let the engine
idle for a minute or two.
The temperature should lower and the
warning light should return to a blue
colour. If not, stop the engine. Let the
engine cool down before checking the
coolant.
Contact an approved Dealer.
WARNING LIGHTS (3/5)
ÄToxic Fume Filter System
Warning Light
On vehicles which are equipped with it,
this light comes on when the engine is
started and, depending on the vehicle,
when the ignition is switched off if the
vehicle is in the engine standby phase
(refer to the information on the 'Stop
and Start Function' in section 2) then
goes out.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an authorised dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
– If it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
Please refer to the information on
“Maintenance and anti-pollution advice”
in Section 2.Warning light for electronic
stability program ( ESC ) and
traction control system
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
There are several reasons for the warn-
ing light to come on: please refer to
the information on “Dynamic driving
control: ESC” and “Traction control” in
Section 2.
Lane departure system
warning light
Please refer to the information on “Lane
departure warning” in Section 2.
ΦSpeed limiter and cruise
control indicator lights
See the information on the “Speed lim-
iter” and “Cruise control” in Section 2.
The display of information shown below DEPENDS ON THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT \
AND COUNTRY.

2.26
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.
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 vigi-
lance or responsibility 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.

2.28
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
