1. Traction Control (TC): When the traction control system is turned off, the vehicle's electronic stability control system may be disabled. This can affect the vehicle's handling and traction, especially in slippery or adverse road conditions.
2. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): The ESP system helps maintain the vehicle's stability and control by automatically applying brakes and adjusting engine power to prevent skids and loss of control. Turning off ESP can impact the vehicle's handling and safety features.
3. Start-Stop System: Some Renault Espace models may have a start-stop system that automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle is stationary (e.g., at traffic lights) to save fuel. The "OFF" symbol may indicate that the start-stop system is disabled.
4. Lane Departure Warning (LDW): The LDW system alerts the driver if the vehicle starts to drift out of its lane without signaling. Turning off LDW disables this safety feature.
5. Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM): The BSM system warns the driver of vehicles in their blind spots when changing lanes. Disabling BSM means the system will not provide alerts.
6. Parking Sensors: Some Espace models have parking sensors that assist the driver when parking by detecting obstacles behind the vehicle. Turning off the parking sensors means they won't be active.
7. Hill Start Assist (HSA): HSA helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an incline. Disabling HSA means that the system will not engage when the vehicle is on a slope.
8. Airbag Deactivation: In certain Renault Espace models, the passenger airbag can be deactivated if there's a child seat installed in the front passenger seat. The "OFF" symbol may indicate that the passenger airbag is deactivated.
It's important to note that the specific meaning of the "OFF" symbol may vary depending on the exact model and trim level of your Renault Espace. If you're unsure about the functionality or implications of turning off a particular feature, consult your vehicle's owner's manual for detailed information.
