DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS

(1/4)

Depending on the vehicle, this is com-

posed of:

– the AbS (anti-lock braking

system);

– the electronic stability program

(

E.S.P.) with understeer control

and traction control (A.S.R.);

– emergency brake assist with, de-

pending on the vehicle, braking

anticipation.

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.

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).

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.

In both cases, consult an approved

Dealer.

AbS (anti-lock braking

system)

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 perform-

ance relating to the road surface and

roadholding. 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.).

(2/4)

Electronic stability program

(E.S.P.) with understeer

control and traction control

(A.S.R.)

Electronic stability program (E.S.P.)
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

ù

flashes on the instrument panel.

Understeer control
This system optimises the action of

the E.S.P. in the case of pronounced

understeering (loss of front axle road

holding).

Traction control (A.S.R.)
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 operating

fault the message “Check ESP” and the

indicator light

©

appears on the in-

strument panel. In this case, the E.S.P.

and A.S.R. are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

ENG_UD14885_2

Dispositifs de correction de conduite (X95 - B95 - D95 - Renault)

ENG_NU_837-6_BDK95_Renault_2

Traction control (A.S.R.) offers addi-

tional safety; it is recommended that

you do not drive with the function disa-

bled. Correct this as soon as possible

by pressing 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 assist

This system supplements the ABS

and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-

tances.

Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-

gency braking situation. In this case,

the braking assistance immediately de-

velops maximum power and may trig-

ger 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.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operat-

ing fault the message “Check brak-

ing system” appears on the instrument

panel along with the

©

warning

light.
Consult an approved dealer.

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.
Special cases

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.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS

(3/4)

Disabling the A.S.R. function
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 “Traction control off” is

displayed on the instrument panel to

inform you.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS

(4/4)

Hill start assistance

This function assists the driver when

starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle

from rolling backwards, depending on

the slope, by automatically applying the

brakes when the driver lifts his/her foot

off the brake pedal to depress the ac-

celerator pedal.

System operation
It only operates when the gear lever is

in a position other than neutral (other

than

N or P for automatic transmis-

sions) and the vehicle is completely

stationary (brake pedal depressed)
The system holds the vehicle for ap-

proximately

2 seconds. The brakes are

then gradually released (the vehicle will

move according to the slope).

The hill start assistance

system cannot completely

prevent the vehicle from

rolling backwards in all sit-

uations (extremely steep gradients,

etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress

the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-

cle from rolling backwards.
The hill start assistance function

should not be used for prolonged

stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-

mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to

stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly

vigilant when driving on slippery or

low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

Driving

When a limited speed has been stored

and this speed is not reached, driving is

similar to driving a vehicle without the

speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored

speed, no effort on the accelera-

tor pedal will allow you to exceed

the programmed speed except in an

emergency (refer to information on

“Exceeding the limit speed”).

Varying the limit speed

The limit speed may be changed by re-

peatedly pressing:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.

Exceeding the limit speed

It is possible to exceed the limit speed

at any moment. To do this: press the

accelerator pedal

firmly and fully

(beyond the kickdown point).
While the speed is being exceeded, the

limit speed flashes on the instrument

panel and area C lights up red.
Then, as far as is possible, release

the accelerator pedal: the speed lim-

iter function will return as soon as you

reach a speed lower than the stored

speed.

Limited speed cannot be maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,

the system is unable to maintain the

limit speed: the stored speed on the

instrument panel will flash and zone C

will light up in red to inform you of this

situation.

The speed limiter function is

in no way linked to the brak-

ing system.

Cruise control

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function

(1/4)

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).

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

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 slippery roads (black

ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during

bad weather (fog, rain, side winds

etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.

2 Limit speed activation, storage and

increase switch (+).

3 Decrease cruising speed (-).

4 Switch the function to standby

(with memorisation of the gov-

erned cruising speed) (O).

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded

at any time by depressing the acceler-

ator pedal. The cruising speed flashes

on the instrument panel along with the

illumination of zone C in red.
Then, release the accelerator: after a

few seconds, the vehicle will automati-

cally return to its set cruising speed.

Note: if the speed previously stored is

much higher than the current speed,

the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly

to reach this threshold.

When the cruise control function is

put on standby, pressing switch 2 (+)

vated if you press switch 1: in this case

a speed is no longer stored. The instru-

ment panel green indicator light 7 and

zones A, B and C go out, confirming

that the function is deactivated.

Putting the cruise control

on standby or switching it

off does not cause a rapid

reduction in speed: you

must brake by depressing the brake

pedal.

Parking distance control

This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the

vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-

ity whilst reversing.

The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always

ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-

cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when

manoeuvring.

Operating principle

Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the

front or rear bumper depending on the

vehicle, 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 25 centi-

metres from the obstacle.

PARkING DISTANCE CONTROL

(1/3)

Front parking distance

control

(depending on vehicle)
Operation
The parking distance control system

is only activated when the vehicle is

driven at a speed below approximately

6 mph (10 km/h).
Most objects located less than approx-

imately 60 centimetres away from the

front of the vehicle are detected and a

beep is emitted.

Automatic activation/deactivation of

the front parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the electronic parking brake is

applied;

– when the vehicle speed is above ap-

proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);

– when the vehicle is stationary for

more than approximately five sec-

onds and an obstacle is detected

(such as when in a traffic jam etc.);

– when the vehicle is in neutral or

when the gear lever has been shifted

to

N or P for automatic gearboxes;

PARkING DISTANCE CONTROL

(2/3)

Rear parking distance control

Operation

When reversing, most objects located

less than approximately 1.5 metres

away from the rear of the vehicle are

detected and a beep is emitted.
If there are obstacles located close to

both the front and rear of the vehicle,

only the closest of the two will be ac-

knowledged and the corresponding

front or rear beep sound will be emit-

ted. If obstacles are detected both to

the front and to the rear of the vehicle at

the same time, and they are both less

than 30 centimetres away from the ve-

hicle, the corresponding front and rear

beeps will be emitted alternately.

1

Automatic activation/deactivation of

the rear parking distance control

The system deactivates:
– when the electronic parking brake is

applied;

– when the vehicle speed is above ap-

proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);

– when the vehicle is stationary for

more than approximately five sec-

onds and an obstacle is detected

(such as when in a traffic jam etc.);

– when the vehicle is in neutral or

when the gear lever has been shifted

to

N or P for automatic gearboxes.

An impact to the under-

side of the vehicle while

manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-

ing a post, raised kerb or

other street furniture) may result in

damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-

mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved Dealer.

Special features

Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors are

not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating

fault there will be a 5-second continu-

ous beep as a warning. Consult an ap-

proved dealer.

When the vehicle is being driven at

a speed below approximately 6 mph

(10 km/h), certain noises (motorcy-

cle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may

trigger the beeping sound.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

(1/3)

Driving in automatic mode

Select position

D. In most traffic con-

ditions, you will not have to touch the

gear selector lever again: the gears will

change automatically at the right time

and at the most suitable engine speed

because the automatic system takes

into account the vehicle load and road

contour and adjusts itself to the particu-

lar driving style you have chosen.

Economical driving

When driving, always leave the lever

in position

D, keeping the accelerator

pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-

matic gear changes at a lower engine

speed.

Accelerating and overtaking

Depress the accelerator pedal firmly

and fully (so that it goes beyond the

kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down

to the optimum gear within the

engine range.

Parking the vehicle

When the vehicle is stopped, move the

lever to position

P while keeping your

foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is

in neutral and the drive wheels are me-

chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake or, depending

on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-

tronic parking brake is applied.

Special circumstances

– If the road contours and bends

do not allow you to stay in auto-

matic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),

we recommend that you change to

manual mode.

This will prevent the automatic gear-

box from changing gears repeatedly

when climbing, and permit engine

braking on long descents.

– In cold weather, to prevent the

engine from stalling, wait a few mo-

ments before shifting the selector

lever from position

P or N and en-

gaging

D or R.

Driving in manual mode

With the selector lever in position

D,

move the lever to the left. Shifting the

lever repeatedly allows you 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 on the

instrument panel.

Special cases

In certain driving conditions (e.g.:

engine protection, operation of the

Electronic Stability Program) the auto-

mated system may change the gear au-

tomatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-

vres, a gear change may be refused by

the automatic system: in this case the

gear display flashes for a few seconds

as a warning.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

(2/3)

In very cold weather, the system

may prevent the gears from being

shifted in manual mode until the

gearbox reaches the right tempera-

ture.

An impact to the under-

side of the vehicle while

manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-

ing a post, raised kerb or

other street furniture) may result in

damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-

mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved Dealer.
