METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTSThese are:■ buckle pretensioners,■ lap strap pretensioners,■ chest force limiters,■ driver and passenger front

airbags.

These systems are designed to actindependently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontalimpact.Depending on the force of theimpact the system may activate:- seat belt locking,- the buckle pretensioner (which is

triggered to take up the seat beltplay),

- the lap belt pretensioner to keepthe occupant in their seat, the lowvolume front airbag and the forcelimiters,

- the large volume front airbag.

PretensionersWith the ignition switched on, ifthere is a severe frontal impact anddepending on the force of theimpact, the system may engage:- piston 1 which immediately

retracts the seat belt,- piston 2 on the front seats.The pretensioners hold the seat beltagainst the body, holding theoccupant more securely against theseat, thus increasing the seat belt'sefficiency.

• After an accident, havethe entire restraintsystem checked

• No operation whatsoever ispermitted on any part of thesystem (pretensioners, airbags,computers, wiring) and thesystem components must not bereused on any other vehicle,even if identical.

• To avoid premature triggering ofthe system which may causeinjury, only qualified RENAULTNetwork personnel may work onthe pretensioner and airbagsystem.

• Testing of the electric triggersystem may only be carried outby a specially trained technicianusing special equipment.

• When the vehicle is scrapped,contact your RENAULT Dealerfor disposal of the pretensionerand airbag gas generators.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)

Force limiterAbove a certain severity of impact,this mechanism is used to limit theforce of the belt against the body sothat it is at an acceptable level.

Driver and passenger airbagsFitted to the driver and passengerside.The presence of this equipment isindicated by the word “Airbag” onthe steering wheel and thedashboard (airbag zone A) and alabel on the lower part of thewindscreen or on the sun visor.Each airbag system consists of:- an airbag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for thedriver and in the dashboard for thefront passenger,

- an intelligent computer for bothsystems, which includes animpact sensor and a monitorcontrolling the electrical triggersystem for the gas generator.

- A single warning light onthe instrument panel.

The airbag system uses theprinciples of pyrotechnics.Therefore, when the airbag inflates,it will generate noise, heat andsmoke upon detonation, this doesnot mean that a fire is about to start.In a situation where an airbag isrequired, it will inflateimmediately and this may causesome minor, superficial grazing tothe skin.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)

OperationThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.In a severe frontal impact, theairbags inflate rapidly, cushioningthe impact of the driver's head andchest against the steering wheel andthe front passenger's head againstthe dashboard. The airbags thendeflate immediately so that thepassengers are not in any wayhindered from leaving the vehicle.

Special feature of the frontairbagThe front airbag has two inflationvolumes and includes an internalventilation system to prevent burnswhich could be caused by escapinggases:- “small volume” airbag, this is the

first stage of operation,- “large volume” airbag, the airbag

seams rip so that a larger volumeof gas is released into the bag (forthe most severe impacts).

Deployment of the airbag ismodified according to the severityof the impact and the position of thedriver's seat on its runners.

Operating faultsWarning light 1 lights up on theinstrument panel when the ignitionis turned on and then goes out aftera few seconds.If it does not light up when theignition is switched on, or comes onwhen the engine is running, there isa fault in the system.Consult your RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible. Your protectionwill be reduced until this fault isrectified.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to preventthe risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.

Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag• Do not modify the steering wheel or the cushion.• Do not cover the steering wheel cushion.

• Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel cushion.• The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from the RENAULT network).• When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see information on

“Adjusting your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the airbag to deploy correctly andbe fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag• Do not attach or glue any objects (pins, badges, clock, telephone mounting, etc.) to the dashboard in the proximity of

the airbag housing.• Nothing should be placed between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).• The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may be

sustained. As a general rule, keep all parts of the body (knees, hands, head, etc.) well away from the dashboard.• The passenger airbags should be reactivated as soon as the child seat is removed, to ensure the protection of the front

passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD/BABY SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THEADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, ARE DEACTIVATED. (Refer to theinformation on Passenger Airbag Deactivation in Section 1).

■ Force limiter.

These systems are designed to actindependently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontalimpact.There are two possibilities,depending on the force of theimpact:- protection is provided by the belt

only,- the pretensioner is triggered to

take up the slack in the seat beltand the airbag inflates to cushionthe impact.

Rear seat belt pretensionersThis system is only operationalwhen the ignition is switched on.If the vehicle is subjected to a severefrontal impact, a device retracts theseat belt, pulling the seat belt tightagainst the body and thusimproving its effectiveness.

• After an accident, havethe entire restraintsystem checked

• No operation whatsoever ispermitted on any part of thesystem (pretensioners, airbags,computers, wiring) and thesystem components must not bereused on any other vehicle, evenif identical.

• To avoid premature triggering ofthe system which may causeinjury, only qualified RENAULTNetwork personnel may work onthe pretensioner and airbagsystem.

LATERAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMSLateral airbagsThese airbags are fitted to each ofthe front seats and is inflated at thesides of the seats (door side) toprotect the occupants in the event ofa severe side impact.

These airbags operatethrough slits in the frontbackrests (door side):never insert any objects

in these slits.

Curtain airbagsThese are airbags fitted along thetop of the side of the vehicle andwhich are triggered along the frontand rear side windows to protectthe passengers in the event of asevere side impact.

A marking on the windscreeninforms you of the presence ofadditional means of restraint(airbags, pretensioners, etc.) inthe passenger compartment.

Warnings concerning theside airbag• Fitting seat covers: seats

equipped with an airbagrequire covers specificallydesigned for your vehicle.Contact your RENAULT Dealerto find out if these covers may bepurchased from Renault outlets.The use of any covers other thanthose designed for your vehicle(and including those designedfor another vehicle) may affectthe operation of the airbags andreduce your protection.

• Do not place any accessories,objects or even pets between theseatback, the door and theinternal fittings. Do not cover theseatback with any items such asclothes or accessories. This mayprevent the airbag fromoperating correctly or causeinjury when the airbag isdeployed.

• No work or modificationwhatsoever may be carried outon the internal fittings, except byqualified RENAULT Networkpersonnel.

1.33

ADDITIONAL MEANS OF RESTRAINTAll the warnings below are given so that, if the airbag is activated, it is not obstructed in any way and also to prevent therisk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the airbag inflates.

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. The airbags and seat belts are integral parts ofthe same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn, theoccupants of the vehicle are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. The risk of minorsuperficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed may also increase, although such minor injuries arealways possible with airbags.

If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are notalways triggered. These systems may, however, be triggered by shocks to the vehicle underbody, e.g. from pavements,potholes, stones, etc.

• No operations or modifications whatsoever are permitted on any part of the airbag system (electronic unit, wiring,etc.) (such work must be carried out by qualified Renault Network personnel).

• To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may causeinjury, only qualified RENAULT Network personnel may work on the airbag system.

• As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, is stolen orbroken into.

• When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.

• When scrapping your vehicle, contact your RENAULT Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

CHILD SAFETYIn all countries there are regulationsgoverning the use of restraints forchildren and babies.In Europe children under 10 yearsof age(1) must be seated in anapproved safety device which issuitable for the weight and size ofthe child.The driver is responsible forensuring that this equipment isused correctly.Child restraints for which typeapproval was obtained after January1992 offer a level of safety muchgreater than for restraints with typeapproval before that date.It is therefore advisable to select achild restraint that complies withEuropean regulation ECE 44.Restraints that comply with thislegislation must be marked with anorange label bearing the letter Efollowed by a number (whichstands for the country where it istype approved) and the year inwhich the type approval wasgranted.Refer to the Child safety equipmentbooklet available from the RenaultNetwork to choose the seat suited toyour child and recommended foryour vehicle.

Remember that a collision at31 mph (50 km/h) is the same asfalling a distance of 10 metres.Expressed in other terms,transporting a child without arestraint is the equivalent ofallowing him or her to play on afourth-floor balcony withoutrailings.

Under no circumstancesshould babies or childrenbe allowed to travel sittingon the knees of another

passenger in the vehicle.If a frontal impact occurs at 30 mph(50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kgwill be transformed into a missileequivalent to one tonne: you willfind it impossible to hold the child,even if you yourself are wearing abelt.It is particularly dangerous to putthe belt round your child when heor she is sitting on your lap. Neveruse the belt for more than oneperson at the same time.

Some passenger seats are notsuitable for the installation of childseats.To find the authorised seats andtypes of child seats that can beinstalled in each of the authorisedseats, refer to the table in thefollowing pages.

Before installing a child seat in thefront seat (if installation ispermitted)If fitted to the passenger seat, carryout the following adjustments:- move the passenger seat as far

back as possible,- set the seatback to its fully upright

position,- raise the seat squab as far as

possible,- raise the headrest to its highest

setting,- move the seat belt height control

to the low position.

(1) You must always comply with thelaws of the country in which you aretravelling. They may be different tothe guidelines in this handbook.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

The right choiceThe safety of your children is alsoyour responsibility.To ensure that your child has themaximum possible protection, werecommend that you use seatsapproved by the RENAULTNetwork.It is preferable to use an ISOFIX seat ifyour vehicle is fitted with an ISOFIXsystem (refer to “ISOFIX child seatfitting system” in Section 1).Restraint systems for all the categoriesare available. These systems havebeen developed in consultation withthe manufacturers and have beentested in RENAULT vehicles.Contact your RENAULT Dealer andask him to help you install it.

Categories 0 and 0+ (from 0 to13 kg)A child's neck is very susceptible toinjury up to the age of two. It ispreferable to put your child into arear facing enclosing shell seat. Thisposition enhances safety.

Category 1 (from 9 to 18 kg)Between the ages of 2 and 4, achild's pelvis is not fully developed.Restraints using the vehicle'sthree-point belts are not adequateand there is also a risk that the childwill sustain abdominal injuries inthe event of a frontal impact. It istherefore fitting to use an enclosingseat for maintaining the child bymeans of a harness or shockabsorbing pad.To avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use

RENAULT approved accessories because they are suitable for yourvehicle and are the only accessories for which RENAULT willprovide a warranty.

CHILD SAFETY (continued)

Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) andcategory 3 (22 to 36 kg)For correctly maintaining the pelvisof a child under 10 years, a heightunder 1.36 m and a weight of lessthan 36 kg, preferably use a raisedseat with belt guides that ensurethat the three-point belt goes flatover the child's thighs.

A booster seat with aheight-adjustable seatback and abelt guide are recommended as thiswill allow the belt to be worn asclose to the base of the neck aspossible but not on it.Place the headrest in the topposition to allow you to press theseatback of the child seat firmlyagainst the vehicle seatback.Vehicles with integrated child headrestraint: refer to the informationunder “Child head restraints” inSection 3.If a booster seat without a seatbackis used, the vehicle's headrest willhave to be adjusted to suit thechild's stature; the upper edge of theheadrest must be at the same heightas the top of the child's head andshould never be lower than in linewith the child's eyes.

The standard classifies childrestraints in five categories:Category 0 : 0 to 10 kgCategory 0+: 0 to 13 kgCategory 1 : 9 to 18 kgCategory 2 : 15 to 25 kgCategory 3 : 22 to 36 kg

FUEL TANK (continued)

Filling with fuelPetrol versionsUsing leaded petrol will damage theanti-pollution devices and may leadto a loss of warranty.To ensure that the fuel tank is notfilled with leaded petrol, the fueltank filler neck contains a restrictorfitted with a foolproof system whichonly allows the nozzle for unleadedpetrol to be used (at the pump).- Insert the nozzle so that the metal

valve is pushed back and theninsert it fully before beginning tofill the tank (risk of splash-back).

- Keep the nozzle in this positionthroughout the entire fillingoperation.

Filling with fuel (continued)Petrol and diesel versionsNo more than two filling operationsmay be made after the fuel feed hasswitched off automatically for thefirst time because there must besufficient space in the fuel tank toallow for expansion.

No modificationswhatsoever are permittedon any part of the fuelsupply system (computers,

wiring, fuel circuit, injector,protection covers, etc.) as thismay be dangerous (such workmust be undertaken by qualifiedRENAULT Network personnel).

Persistent fuel odourIf you notice a persistent fuel odouryou should:• stop the vehicle when traffic

conditions allow and switch offthe ignition,

• switch on the hazard warninglights and ask your passengers toleave the vehicle and stay clear ofthe traffic,

• Do not operate on, or restart, thevehicle before it has beeninspected by qualified staff fromthe RENAULT network.

ADVICE ON ANTI-POLLUTION FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVINGRENAULT is actively striving toreduce pollutant exhaust gasemissions and to save energy.By virtue of its design, moderatefuel consumption and initialsettings, your RENAULT conformsto current anti-pollution standards.Technical design, however, cannotachieve all. The fuel consumptionof your vehicle and the level ofpollutant exhaust gas emissions arevery much within your control.Make sure that your vehicle ismaintained and used correctly.

MaintenanceIt should be noted that failure torespect anti-pollution standardsmay lead to legal action being takenagainst the vehicle owner. Inaddition, replacing engine, fuelsupply system and exhaustcomponents with parts other thanthose originally recommended bythe manufacturer may alter yourvehicle so that it no longer complieswith anti-pollution standards.Have your vehicle checked andadjusted by your RENAULT Dealerin accordance with the instructionsin the vehicle’s warranty andservicing booklet.Your RENAULT Dealer has all theequipment necessary for ensuringthat your vehicle is maintained toits original standard.Always remember that the emissionof pollutant fumes is directly linkedto fuel consumption.

Engine adjustments• Ignition: this does not require any

adjustment.

• Spark plugs: optimum conditionsof use, performance and outputdemand that the specificationslaid down by our design office berigorously adhered to.If the spark plugs have to bechanged, use the make, type andgap specified for your vehicle'sengine. Contact your RENAULTDealer for this information.

• Idling speed: this does not requireany adjustment.

• Air filter, diesel filter: a cloggedelement reduces output and mustbe replaced.

• Injection pump setting: it must beset to the recommended values.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)

Exhaust gas monitorThe exhaust gas monitor will detectany malfunctioning of the vehicle'sexhaust gas anti-pollution system.If this system malfunctions, toxicsubstances may be released into theatmosphere or mechanical damagemay occur.

This warning light on theinstrument panel willindicate if there are any

faults on the system:This comes on when the ignition isswitched on and goes out after threeseconds.- If it lights up constantly, contact

your RENAULT Dealer as soon aspossible,

- If it flashes, reduce the enginespeed until the light stopsflashing. Consult your RENAULTDealer as soon as possible.

Driving• Drive carefully for the first few

miles until the engine reaches itsnormal operating temperature,rather than let it warm up whilethe vehicle is stationary.

• Speed is expensive.• “Sporty” driving uses a lot of fuel:

drive with a “light right foot”.

• Brake as little as possible byanticipating obstacles or bendsand then simply lifting theaccelerator pedal.

• Avoid sharp acceleration.• Do not over-rev the engine in the

intermediate gears.Always use the highest gearpossible without labouring theengine.On versions with automaticgearboxes, it is preferable to keepthe gear lever in position D.

• Do not try to maintain the samespeed up a hill, accelerate nomore than you would on the level.Keep your foot in the sameposition on the accelerator pedal.

• Double declutching andaccelerating before switching offare superfluous actions inmodern vehicles.

• Bad weather, flooded roadsDo not drive throughfloods if the depth ofwater is above the loweredge of the wheel rims.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)

General hints• Electricity is “fuel”; switch off

any electrical consumers you donot really need.However, (with safety always inmind), keep your lights on whenthe visibility is bad (“see and beseen”).

• Try to use the air vents. Drivingwith the windows open at 60 mph(100 km/h) will increase fuelconsumption by +4%

• Vehicles with air conditioningwill consume as much as oneadditional gallon every 140 miles(2 litres per 100 km): switch theair conditioning off if it is notneeded.

• Avoid filling to the brim with fuelat the filling station to preventany overflow.

• Do not leave an empty roof rackfitted to the vehicle.

• It is better to fit a trailer for bulkyobjects.

• When towing a caravan, fit a winddeflector and adjust it carefully.

• Avoid using the vehicle fordoor-to-door calls (short journeyswith long waits in between)because the engine never reachesits normal operating temperature.Try to group your journeys.

Tyres• Pressures which are too low may

increase fuel consumption.• The use of non-recommended

tyres may also increase fuelconsumption.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORThis system continuously monitorsthe tyre pressures.

Tyre pressures should be adjustedwhen the tyres are cold.If tyre pressures cannot be checkedwhen the tyres are cold, the normalpressures must be increased by0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 psi.).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

This function is anadditional driving aid.However, the functiondoes not take the place of

the driver. It cannot, therefore,under any circumstances replacethe vigilance or theresponsibility of the driver.Check the tyre pressures once amonth.

Operating principleEach wheel (except the emergencyspare wheel) has a sensor integratedin the inflation valve whichperiodically measures the tyrepressure.The driver is constantly informed ofthe tyre pressure status on theinstrument panel display.

PAX SYSTEMOperating principleDepending on the vehicle, the PAXSystem enables you to continuedriving with a puncture over amaximum distance of 120 miles(200 km) on condition that youadapt your driving style and do notexceed a speed of 50 mph(80 km/h). There is otherwise a riskof damage to the tyre.Each unit consists of four specificand inseparable components:- the tyre,- a flexible support,- the wheel rim,- The tyre pressure monitor sensor

(refer to the tyre pressure monitorinformation in Section 2).

This function is anadditional aid for drivingin critical conditions.However, the function does

not take the place of the driver. Itdoes not increase the vehicle'slimits. Driving must be adapted(moderate speed, gentlemovements) in the event ofrunning on a flat tyre. Thus, it can,under no circumstances, replacethe vigilance or responsibility ofthe driver when manoeuvring thevehicle (the driver must always beready for sudden events which mayoccur when driving).Because the wheels are speciallydesigned, aerosol repair sprays areincompatible with the PAXSystem.

As this device featuresspecial technology, a PAXSystem must not be fitted toa vehicle that is not

designed for this equipment.It is essential to consult aRENAULT Dealer beforeconverting a vehicle fitted with thePAX System to the conventionalsystem.

PAX SYSTEM (continued)

Driving with a flat tyre(continued)When the distance is below12 miles (20 km), only the “Drivingwith flat 12 miles remaining”message is displayed. It is updatedapproximately every mile and a halfIf the 124 mile (200 km) drivinglimit is exceeded, the STOPwarning light comes onaccompanied by a beep.This indicates that it is essential tostop immediately as soon as trafficconditions allow.

If the trip computerbuttons are pressedwhile the vehicle has apunctured tyre and is

being driven the messages in theremaining in the trip computermemory disappear (refer to theinformation on the trip computerin Section 1).

General adviceIf you are driving with a flat tyre,you must have the tyre repairedwithin 125 miles by a RENAULTDealer, as soon as the “driving witha flat tyre 125 miles (200 km)remaining” message appears. After124 miles (200 km), the STOPwarning light comes on.If you exceed a speed of 50 mph(80 km/h), an alarm warns you andthe “Slow down puncture” messageappears on the instrument panelYou will have to drive for a fewminutes after the tyre has beenrepaired before all the warnings arecleared.

After any period of flatrunning, even if there isno puncture, the tyremust be checked by anexpert.

Restrictions on useAfter you fit an emergency sparewheel the warning buzzer willsound for some time if you exceed50 mph (80 km/h). After this, the“Tyre sensor not working” messagereplaces the “Puncture repair tyre”message and the wheel concerneddisappears from the display.You will be warned if a pressuresensor is damaged: the “Tyrepressure sensor fault” messageappears on the instrument paneland the warning light for the tyreconcerned lights up on theinstrument panel.Remain vigilant because the TyrePressure Monitor does not remainoperational in either of thesescenarios. A puncture will not bedetected.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP WITH CSV UNDERSTEER CONTROLThis system helps to keep control ofthe vehicle in critical drivingsituations (avoiding an obstacle,loss of grip when cornering, etc.), itworks in addition to the understeercontrol system.

This function is anadditional aid in caseof critical drivingconditions to allow the

vehicle behaviour to be adaptedto suit the driving conditions.However, the function does nottake the place of the driver. Itdoes not increase the vehicle'slimits and should not encourageyou to drive more quickly.Thus, it can, under nocircumstances, replace thevigilance or responsibility of thedriver when manoeuvring thevehicle (the driver must alwaysbe ready for sudden incidentswhich may occur when driving).

Operating principleA sensor in the steering wheeldetects the direction selected by thedriver.Other sensors throughout thevehicle measure the actualdirection.The system compares the directionselected by the driver and the actualdirection of the vehicle and correctsthis as necessary by applying thebrakes selectively and/or acting onthe engine power.

When the function begins tooperate, indicator light A flashes towarn you.If the warning light comes onaccompanied by the ASRdeselected message when theengine is started, turn the steeringwheel from lock to lock toreinitialise the system.

Understeer checkThis system optimises the action ofthe ESP in the case of pronouncedundersteer (loss of front axleholding).

Operating faultsWhen the system detects anoperating fault the message“ESP/ASR fault” appears on theinstrument panel along with the

warning light and warning

light A.Contact your RENAULT Dealer.

TRACTION CONTROL: ASRThis system helps to limit skiddingon drive wheels and to control thevehicle when pulling away oraccelerating.

This function is anadditional aid in caseof critical drivingconditions to allow the

vehicle behaviour to be adaptedto suit the driving conditions.However, the function does nottake the place of the driver. Itdoes not increase the vehicle'slimits and should not encourageyou to drive more quickly.Thus, it can, under nocircumstances, replace thevigilance or responsibility of thedriver when manoeuvring thevehicle (the driver must alwaysbe ready for sudden incidentswhich may occur when driving).

Operating principleUsing the wheel sensors, the systemmeasures and compares the speedof the drive wheels at all times andslows down their over-rotation.If a wheel is starting to spin, thesystem brakes automatically untilthe drive supplied becomescompatible with the level of grip.

The system also adjusts the enginespeed to the grip available under thewheels, independently of thepressure exerted on the acceleratorpedal.When the function begins tooperate, warning light A flashes towarn you.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABSUnder heavy braking, the systemhas two principal aims, to reducethe stopping distance and keep yourvehicle under control. However,there is a risk that roadholding anddirectional control may be lost andthe wheels may lock under braking,depending on the nature of theground, weather conditions andyour reactions. The Anti-lockBraking System (ABS) has beendesigned to combat this danger.

The safety enhancement is that thebrake control system prevents thewheels from locking, even if thebrakes are applied too sharply, andallows the vehicle to be steered andthus its direction to be controlled.Under these circumstances it isquite possible for the driver to steerthe vehicle and to avoid an obstaclewhilst at the same time applying thebrake.

This system also allows you tooptimise stopping distances whenthe adhesion of one or more wheelsbecomes hazardous (wet roads,slippery or varying road surfaces).

Although this system allows you tomake maximum use of stoppingdistances, even with the ABS youstill have to take account of theactual condition of the road surface.It is still essential to follow the rulesof good driving practice (such asdriving at a safe distance from thevehicle in front). The fact that thevehicle’s safety has been increasedshould not encourage you to takerisks.

You will feel pulsing through thebrake pedal when the system hasbeen activated. These tangible signswill warn you that the adhesionbetween the tyres and the groundhas reached its limit and enable youto adapt your driving style to suitthe road conditions.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS (continued)

One of two situations may arise ifthere is a fault in the ABS system:1 - Orange warning lights

instrument panel.Braking is still performed, butwithout the ABS system.Contact a RENAULT Dealer assoon as possible.

2 - The orange

warning light and the

red brake fault

warning light, along with ,

and the message are lit up

on the instrument panel.This indicates that both the brakingsystem and the ABS system arefaulty. Your braking systems areonly partially operational.However, it is dangerous to brakesuddenly and it is essential to stopimmediately, as soon as trafficconditions allow. Call a RENAULTDealer.

The braking modulation providedby the ABS is independent of theeffort applied to the brake pedal. Inan emergency, apply strong andcontinuous pressure to the brakepedal There is no need to pump itrepeatedly.

DrivingWith the lever 1 in position P or N,switch on the ignition.With your foot on the brake pedal(warning light 2 goes out), move thelever from position P.

Indicator display 3 on theinstrument panel shows the modeand gear selected.

P : parkingR : reverse gearN : neutralD : automatic mode4 : displays gear engaged in manual

mode

The lever must only be shifted to Dor R when the vehicle is stationary,the brake pedal depressed andaccelerator pedal released.

You must apply the brake beforepressing the unlocking button tomove out of the P position.

Driving in automatic modeSelect position D. In the majority oftraffic situations, you will not haveto touch the gear lever again; thegear will change automatically atthe right time and at the mostsuitable engine speed, because thesystem takes into account thevehicle load, profile of the road andthe particular driving style you havechosen.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (continued)

How to drive economicallyLeave the selector in position D(drive) on the open road. Press theaccelerator pedal lightly to ensureautomatic gear changes atcomparatively low engine speeds.

Accelerating and overtakingQuickly depress the acceleratorpedal completely (until you passthe point of resistance).This will activate the kickdownfunction allowing you to changedown to the most suitable gear.

Driving in manual modeWith the gear lever in position D,move the lever towards the left:Pushing the lever repeatedly allowsyou to change gears manually.- To move down through the gears,

push the lever backwards.- To move up through the gears,

push the lever forwards.

The gear selected is displayed onthe instrument panel.

Special conditionsIn certain driving conditions (e.g.:in order to protect the engine orwhen ESP is engaged) the gearboxmay change gear automatically.Likewise, to prevent incorrectmanoeuvres, a gear change may berefused by the system: in this casethe gear display flashes for a fewseconds as a warning.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (continued)

Special circumstances- If the bends and hills on the road

do not allow you to stay inautomatic mode (e.g.: in themountains), we recommend thatyou change to manual mode.This will prevent the automaticgearbox changing gearssuccessively when climbing, andpermit engine braking on longdescents.

- In cold weather, start the engineand wait a few seconds beforemoving the selector lever fromposition P or N and engaging it inD or R to prevent the enginestalling.

- Vehicles not fitted with tractioncontrol: to avoid wheelspin whenstarting on a slippery or low gripsurface, change to manual modeand select second gear beforemoving off

Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stopped, movethe lever to position P whilekeeping your foot on the brakepedal: the gearbox is in neutral andthe drive wheels are mechanicallylocked by the driveshaft.

Depending on the vehicle, set thehandbrake or check that theparking brake is on (refer to the“Parking brake” information inSection 2).

PARKING PROXIMITY SENSOROperating principleProximity sensors located in therear bumper “measure” the distancebetween the vehicle and an obstaclewhen reversing.This measurement is indicated bybeeps which become more frequentthe closer you are to the vehicle,until they become one continuousbeep when the obstacle isapproximately 25 centimetres fromthe vehicle.

Note: make sure that the ultrasonicsensors are not blocked (dirt, mud,snow, etc.).

Operating faultsWhen the system detects a fault abeep sounds for 5 seconds as awarning when reverse gear isselected. Contact your RENAULTDealer.

This function is anadditional aid whichindicates the distancebetween the vehicle and an

obstacle when reversing by meansof audible signals.Under no circumstances shouldit replace vigilance andresponsibility on the part of thedriver when reversing.The driver should always payattention to sudden events whichmay occur when driving: alwaysensure that there are no movingobstacles, such as a child, animal,pram or bicycle, etc., or small,narrow objects such as stones orbollards, in your path whenmanoeuvring.

In these conditions air is taken fromthe passenger compartment and isrecirculated, with no air being takenfrom outside the vehicle.

Air recirculation allows:- isolating the external atmosphere

(driving in polluted areas, etc.),- the desired temperature of the

passenger compartment to beachieved as quickly as possible.

Prolonged use of this position canlead to condensation forming onthe side windows and windscreenand discomfort due to lack of freshair in the passenger compartment.We therefore advise you to returnto normal mode (external air) assoon as the recirculated airfunction is no longer required, byturning control A again.

AIR CONDITIONING: MISCELLANEOUS

If no cool air is producedCheck that the controls are setcorrectly and that the fuses aresound. Otherwise switch off the airconditioning and contact aRENAULT Dealer.Do not open the refrigerant fluidcircuit.

Fuel consumptionWhen the air conditioning isoperating, you will normally noticean increase in fuel consumption(especially in an urbanenvironment).In winter, use the air conditioningoccasionally in order to maintainthe system in correct workingorder.

Operating faultsIf you notice a decrease in de-icing,demisting or air conditioningefficiency, it may be caused byclogging of the cabin filter (refer tothe replacement intervals in thevehicle warranty and servicingbooklet).Generally, in the event of a fault,contact your RENAULT Dealer.

After prolonged use of the airconditioning, it is normal to seecondensation collecting beneaththe vehicle.

TYRESTyre and wheel safetyThe tyres are the only contactbetween the vehicle and the road, soit is essential to keep them in goodcondition.You must make sure that your tyrescomply with local road regulations.

When they need to bereplaced, only tyres ofthe same make, size, typeand profile should beused.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle shouldeither be identical to those fittedoriginally or conform to thoserecommended by yourRENAULT Dealer.

Maintaining the tyresThe tyres must be in good conditionand the tread form must havesufficient depth; tyres approved byRENAULT's Technical Departmenthave wear warning strips 1 in theform of indicators moulded into thetread at several points.

When the tyre tread has beeneroded to the level of the warningstrips, they become visible 2: it isthen necessary to replace your tyresbecause the read rubber is no longer,1.6 mm deep and this causes poorroad holding on wet roads.An overloaded vehicle, longjourneys by motorway, particularlyin very hot weather, or continualdriving on poorly surfaced minorroads will lead to more rapid tyrewear and affect safety.

Incidents which occurwhen driving, such asstriking the kerb, maydamage the tyres and

rims and could lead tomisalignment of the front axlegeometry. In this case, have thecondition of these checked by aRENAULT Dealer.

TYRES (continued)

Tyre pressuresRecommended tyre pressures mustbe adhered to. (Remember to checkthe emergency spare wheel at thesame time.) Pressures must bechecked at least once a month andalways before a long journey. (Referto the section on Tyre pressures.)

Incorrect tyre pressureslead to abnormal tyrewear and unusually hotrunning, factors which

may seriously affect safety andlead to:- poor road holding,- the risk of blowouts or of

throwing a tread at high speed.The pressure depends on theload and the speed of use. Adjustthe pressures according to theconditions of use (refer to “Tyrepressures”).

Pressures should be checked whenthe tyres are cold; ignore higherpressures which may be reached inwarm weather or following a fastjourney.If tyre pressures cannot be checkedwhen the tyres are cold, the normalpressures must be increased by 0.2to 0.3 bar (or 3 psi.).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Note: a label (depending on countryor model) fixed to the edge or frameof the driver's door gives therecommended tyre pressures.

Swapping wheels aroundThis practice is not recommended.

Vehicle fitted with TyrePressure MonitorEach of the sensorsincorporated in valves is

dedicated to a specific wheel:under no circumstances shouldyou swap the wheels.There is a risk of incorrectinformation which could haveserious consequences.

Fitting new tyres

For safety reasons, thisoperation must be carriedout by a specialist.Fitting different tyres

may change your vehicle asfollows:- It may mean that your vehicle

no longer conforms to currentregulations.

- It may change the way ithandles when cornering.

- It may cause the steering to beheavy.

- It may cause tyre noise.- It may affect the use of snow

chains.

TYRES (continued)

Use in winter• Snow chains

For safety reasons, fitting snowchains to the rear axle is strictlyforbidden.Chains must not be fitted to tyreswhich are larger than thoseoriginally fitted to the vehicle.

Chains may only be fittedto tyres of the same sizeas those originally fittedto your vehicle.

Special note on versions fittedwith 17” tyres: snow chains maynot be fittedIf you wish to use specialequipment, consult yourRENAULT Dealer.

• Snow or winter tyresWe would recommend that thesebe fitted to all four wheels toensure that your vehicle retainsmaximum road holding.

Note: we would point out thatthese tyres may sometimes have:- a driving direction,- a maximum speed index which

may be lower than themaximum speed of yourvehicle.

• Studded tyresThis type of equipment may onlybe used for a limited period andas laid down by local legislation.It is necessary to observe thespeed specified by currentlegislation.These tyres may be fitted to thetwo front wheels as a minimum.

In all cases, we would recommendthat you contact your RENAULTDealer who will be able to adviseyou on the choice of equipmentwhich is most suitable for yourvehicle.

(1) Towing weight(Towing a caravan, boat, etc.)

- It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laiddown in the road traffic regulations. Contact your RENAULT Dealer about any towing equipment. Under nocircumstances may the gross train weight (= maximum permissible all-up weight and weight towed) be exceeded.

- If your vehicle is already at full load (max. permissible all-up weight), the maximum speed must be limited to 60 mph(100 km/h) and the tyre pressures increased by 0.2 bar (3 psi.).

- The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reducedby 10% at an altitude of 1000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1000 metres thereafter.
