the RENAULT card.

Remote locking

With the RENAULT card on you, and

cally once you have left zone 1.
Note: the distance at which the vehicle

locks depends on the surroundings.

no beep sounds and the hazard war-

ning lights do not flash.

Locking using button 3
With the doors and boot closed, press

button 3 on one of the front door

handles. The vehicle will lock. If a

door or the boot is open or not closed

card is no longer in the passenger com-

partment, the message “Keycard not

detected” (accompanied by a beep

senger who has the card, for example.

ment closed, press button 5: the vehi-

cle will lock.

– a door or the tailgate is open or not

properly closed;

– a card is still in zone 6 (or in the card

reader) and no other card is in the

external detection zone.

sion;

locking function, this allows you to lock

the opening elements and to prevent

the doors from being unlocked using

the interior handles (for example, by

breaking the window and then trying to

open the door from the inside).

LOCKING, UNLOCKING THE DOORS

(1/2)

Locking/Unlocking the doors

from the outside

This is done using the RENAULT Card;

see the “RENAULT Card” information in

Section 1.
In certain cases, the RENAULT card

may not work:
– the card battery RENAULT is

drained, flat 12 V battery, etc.

– if equipment operating on the same

frequency as the card (mobile

phones, etc.) is used;

– vehicle located in a high electromag-

netic radiation zone.

It is then possible:
– to use the key integrated into the

card to unlock the front left-hand

door;

– to lock each of the doors manually;
– to use the interior door locking/un-

locking control (refer to the following

pages).

Using the key integrated in

the RENAULT card

Insert key 1 into the lock in the driver’s

door and lock or unlock.

Locking the doors manually

Turn screw 2 with the door open (using

the end of the key) and close the door.
This means that the doors are then

locked from the outside.
The doors may then only be opened

from the inside or by using the key in

the front left-hand door.

1.30

Locking the doors without

the RENAULT card

For example, in the event of a dis-

charged battery or the RENAULT card

temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine switched off and an

opening (door or boot) open, press

and hold the switch 3 for more than five

seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors

and tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking the vehicle from the outside

is only possible with the RENAULT card

in the vehicle's access zone or using

the key integrated in the RENAULT

card.

LOCKING, UNLOCKING THE DOORS

(2/2)

Interior locking/unlocking

door control

Switch 3 simultaneously controls the

doors and the boot.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not

closed properly, the doors and tailgate

boot open, the other opening elements

can still be locked: with the engine

stopped, press the switch 3 for more

than five seconds to lock the other

openings.

Door and tailgate status

indicator

With the ignition on, the warning light

integrated in switch 3 informs you of the

locking status of the opening elements:

gate are locked,

– indicator light off, the doors and tail-

gate are unlocked.

When you lock the doors, the indicator

light remains lit and then goes out.

Never leave your vehicle

with the RENAULT card

inside.

After locking/unlocking the vehicle

and the tailgate only using the but-

tons on the RENAULT card, remote

locking and unlocking in hands-free

mode are deactivated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:

restart the vehicle.

Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the

doors locked when you are

driving, remember that it

may be more difficult for those as-

sisting you to gain access to the

passenger compartment in the

event of an emergency.

1.31

AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING

Activating/deactivating the

function

With the engine running, press

button 1 for approximately five seconds

until you hear a beep.

Operating principle

After the vehicle is started, the system

automatically locks the doors when

you are driving at approximately 6 mph

(10 km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
– by pressing the door unlocking

button 1.

– by opening a front door (vehicle sta-

tionary).

NB: if a door is opened or closed, it will

automatically lock again when the vehi-

cle reaches a speed of 6 mph (10 km/h).

Operating faults

If you experience an operating fault

(no automatic locking, the indicator

light incorporated in button 1 does not

light up when trying to lock the open-

ing elements, etc.), firstly check that the

opening elements are properly closed.

If they are properly closed, contact an

authorised dealer.

Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the

doors locked when you are

driving, remember that it

may be more difficult for those as-

sisting you to gain access to the

passenger compartment in the

event of an emergency.

1.32

FRONT SEATS

To move the seat forwards or

back

Lift handle 1 to unlock. Release the

handle once the seat is in the correct

position and ensure that the seat is fully

locked into position.

To adjust the lumbar support

on the driver’s seat

(depending on vehicle)
Lower handle 2 to increase the support

and lift it to decrease it.

For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not

being driven.
We would advise you not to recline the seatbacks too far to ensure that

the effectiveness of the seat belts is not reduced.

No object should be placed on the floor (in front of the driver). Nothing should be

placed around the driver’s feet as such objects may slide under the pedals during

sudden braking manoeuvres and obstruct their use.

To tilt the seatback

Turn control knob 3 to the required po-

sition.

Heated seats

Turn control 4 to either position 1, 2 or

3 (depending on the temperature re-
quired). The

indicator light on the in-

strument panel comes on once the front

seat heating system is operating.

The system, which has a thermostat,

regulates the heating level.

To switch off the heated seat function,

turn control 4 to the OFF position.

1.33

Always wear your seat belt when trav-

elling in your vehicle. You must also

comply with the legislation of the par-

ticular country you are in.

Incorrectly adjusted or

twisted seat belts may

cause injuries in the event

of an accident.

Use one seat belt per person,

whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear

a seat belt. In this case, ensure that

the lap belt is not exerting too much

pressure on the abdomen, but do

not allow any slack.

Before starting, first adjust your driv-

ing position, then ask all occupants

to adjust their seat belts to ensure

optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving

position

– Sit well back in your seat (having

removed your coat or jacket etc.).

This is essential to ensure your back

is positioned correctly;

– adjust the distance between the

seat and the pedals. Your seat

should be as far back as possible

while still allowing you to fully de-

press the pedals. The seatback

should be adjusted so that your arms

are slightly bent when you hold the

steering wheel;

– adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the

seatback.
The shoulder strap 1 should be as close

as possible to the base of the neck but

not on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the

thighs and against the pelvis.
The seat belt must be worn as close to

the body as possible. Eg: avoid wearing

heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects

under the belts, etc.
