Posted By admin On 04.02.202.33 TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (2/3) DisplayThe display 1 and the warning light 4 on the instrument panel warn you of any tyre pressure faults (flat tyre, punctured tyre, system fault, etc.). “Puncture” A wheel B is shown, depending on the vehicle, in red or white accompanied by the warning light 4 fixed, the message “Puncture” and a beep. This message appears along with the ® warning light. They indicate that the affected wheel is punctured or se- verely underinflated. Replace it or con- tact an approved dealer if it is punc- tured.
Top up the tyre pressure if the wheel is deflated. “Check tyre pressure sensors” A wheel A disappears, the warning light 4 flashes for several sec- onds then comes on continuously and the message “Check tyre pressure sen- sors” appears. This message appears along with the © warning light. They indicate that at least one wheel is not fitted with sen- sors (e.g. Emergency spare wheel). Otherwise, consult an authorised dealer.
“Adjust tyre pressure” A wheel B is shown, depending on the vehicle, in orange or white accompa- nied by the warning light 4 fixed and the message “Adjust tyre pres- sure”. They indicate that a wheel is de- flated. Check and, if necessary, readjust the pressures of the four wheels when cold. The warning light 4 goes off after a few minutes’ driving. A B 1 For your safety, the warning light ® requires you to stop immediately as soon as traffic conditions allow. The sudden loss of pressure in a tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be det ected by the system.
2.34 TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (3/3) Tyre repair product and inflation kit Because the valves are specially de- signed, only use equipment approved by the approved network. Please refer to “Tyre inflation kit” in Section 5.
Replacing wheels/tyres This system requires specific equip- ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.). Please see the information on “Tyres” in Section 5. Contact an approved Dealer to fit new tyres and to find out about available ac- cessories compatible with the system and available from your dealer net- work: the use of any other accessory could affect the correct operation of the system or damage a sensor.
Emergency spare wheel If the vehicle is equipped with an emer- gency spare wheel, it will not have a sensor. Changing a wheel The system may take sev- eral minutes depending on use for the new wheel po- sitions and pressures to be recog- nised; check the tyre pressures after all operations. “Tyres location in progress” This message “Tyres location in progress” appears when driving if one or more wheels have been fitted with sensors not recognised by Renault. Consult an approved dealer Readjustment of tyre pressures The tyre pressures should be ad- justed when cold (please refer to the label located on the edge of the driver’s door). If the tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, the recommended pressures should be in- creased by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI). Never deflate a hot tyre. This function is an addi- tional driving aid.
However, the function is not intended to replace the driver. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances replace the vig- ilance or the responsibility of the driver. Check the tyre pressures, in- cluding the emergency spare wheel, once a month. 2.35 DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/5)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.).
– ABS (anti-lock braking system); – ESC (electronic stability control) with understeer control and trac- tion control; – emergency brake assist; – hill start assistance. Other driving assistance systems are detailed on the following pages.
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. 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).
2.36 DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/5) Operating faults: – © and x lit up on the in- strument panel accompanied by the messages “Check ABS”, “Check braking system” and “Check ESC”: this indicates that the ABS, the ESC and the emergency brake assist are disabled. Braking is always ena- bled; – x, D, © and ® lit up on the instrument panel alongside the message “Braking system fault”: this indicates a fault in the braking system. In both cases, consult an approved dealer.
Renault Scenic Automatic
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.Warning light ® re- quires you to stop immedi- ately, for your own safety, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Switch off the engine and do not restart it.
Contact an approved Dealer. 2.37 DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/5) 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 the direction se- lected by the driver and the actual di- rection of the vehicle and corrects this as necessary by applying the brakes selectively and/or acting on the engine power. If the system is triggered, the indicator light flashes on the in- strument 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 appear on the instrument panel. In this case, the ESC and traction con- trol system are deactivated. Consult an authorised dealer.
2.38 DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (4/5) 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. 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. 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. 2.39 DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (5/5) Hill start assistance Depending on the gradient of the in- cline, this system assists the driver when starting on a hill. It prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards by au- tomatically applying the brakes when the driver lifts his/her foot off the brake pedal to depress the accelerator 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 released (the vehicle will move ac- cording 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. 2.40 ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (1/7) Using information from the radar-cam- era 1, the system calculates the dis- tance which separates it from the vehicle in front and the surrounding pe- destrians.
It notifies the driver if there is a risk of head-on collision. The driver can then brake the vehicle to limit the damage arising from a collision. Note: make sure the windscreen is not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa- tion etc.). 1 This function is an addi- tional driving aid. This func- tion is not under any circum- stances intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle. This system can apply maximum braking to the vehicle until it is completely stationary if necessary. For safety reasons, always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle and make sure that it is loaded so that no items can be thrown forward and hit the occu- pants.
2.41 Special features When the vehicle speed: – is less than 27.9 mph (45 km/h) ap- proximately, the warning and brak- ing are activated at the same time; – is between about 27.9 mph (45 km/h) and 48 mph (80 km/h) approximately, the warning is acti- vated. Braking will only be triggered if the vehicle preceding you is moving. Braking is not activated for stationary vehicles; – is between about 48 mph (80 km/h) and 99.2 mph (160 km/h), the warn- ing and braking are only triggered if the vehicle preceding you is moving.
The warning and braking are not ac- tivated for stationary vehicles; – is above 99.2 mph (160 km/h), the system is not active. ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (2/7) Detection of vehicles Operation When driving (speed between about 4.34 and 99.2 mph (7 and 160 km/h)), if there is a risk of collision with the vehi- cle in front, the system: – warns you of a collision risk: – the warning light b is dis- played in red on the instrument panel, accompanied by a beep; or – the indicator 2 is displayed in red on the instrument panel and, de- pending on the vehicle, on the head up display, accompanied by a beep. If the driver depresses the brake pedal and the system still detects a risk of collision, the brake force is in- creased.
– triggers braking: if the driver fails to react following the alert and collision becomes im- minent. 2 You can interrupt braking at any point by: – tapping the accelerator pedal; or – turning the steering wheel in an avoidance manoeuvre.
2.42 Detection of pedestrians Operation When driving (speed between about 4.2 mph (7 km/h) and 36 mph (60 km/h), when there is a risk of impact with a pe- destrian: – the warning light b is displayed in red on the instrument panel, ac- companied by a beep; or – the indicator 3 is displayed in red on the instrument panel and, depending on the vehicle, on the head up dis- play, accompanied by a beep. 3 ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (3/7) When the impact is imminent, the system activates the braking. The system can apply maximum brak- ing to the vehicle until it is completely stationary if necessary.
Manual Description Under no circumstances should this function replace the driver's care or responsibility whilst driving. Please note that you must keep your feet close to the pedals in order to react in an emergency. The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector or an anti-collision system.
Make sure that the manoeuvre complies with the applicable traffic regulations at your location. The demisting/de-icing will still take priority over the air recirculation.
The various sources can be selected from the multifunction screen and from the steering column controls. This allows you to block out the sun in the area above the interior rear-view mirror. The luggage should be the seat back so that it can be folded as loaded in such a way that no items flat as possible against the seat. The level should be read with the engine switched off and on level ground.
