The Remote Control Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Re-
mote Control Key system transmits weak radio
waves. Environmental conditions may interfere with
the operation of the Remote Control Key system
under the following operating conditions.
• When operating near
alocation where strong
radio waves are transmitted, such as aTVtower,
power station and broadcasting station.
• When in possession of wireless equipment, such
as am obile telephone, transceiver, and CB ra-
dio.
• When the Remote Control Key is in contact with
or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote control is
used nearby.
• When the Remote Control Key is placed near an
electric appliance such as
apersonal computer.
In such cases, correct the operating conditions be-
fore using the Remote Control Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depending on
the operating conditions, the battery’s life is approxi-
mately 2years. If the battery is discharged, replace
it with anew one.
For information regarding replacement of abattery,
see “Remote Control Key battery replacement” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
Since the Remote Control Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near equipment which transmits strong radio waves, such as signals
from
aTVa nd personal computer, the battery life
may become shorter.
Because the steering wheel is locked electrically,
unlocking the steering wheel with the ignition switch
in the LOCK position is impossible when the vehicle
battery is completely discharged. Pay special atten-
tion that the vehicle battery is not completely dis-
charged.
As many as 4Remote Control Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. For information
about the purchase and use of additional Remote
Control Keys, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
CAUTION
• Do not allow the Remote Control Key, which
contains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could
affect the system function.
• Do not drop the Remote Control Key.
• Do not strike the Remote Control Key sharply
against another object.
• Do not change or modify the Remote Control
Key.
• Wetting may damage the Remote Control Key.
If the Remote Control Key gets wet, immedi-
ately wipe until it is completely dry.
• If the outside temperature is below −10°C
(14°F), the battery of the Remote Control Key
may not function properly. •
Do not place the Remote Control Key for an
extended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 60°C (140°F).
• Do not attach the Remote Control Key to a
key holder that contains
amagnet.
• Do not place the Remote Control Key near
equipment that produces
amagnetic field,
such as aTV, audio equipment and personal
computers.
If an Remote Control Key is lost or stolen, RENAULT
recommends erasing the ID code of that Remote
Control Key from the vehicle. This may prevent the
unauthorised use of the Remote Control Key to op-
erate the vehicle. For information regarding the eras-
ing procedure, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
The Remote Control Key function can be disabled.
For information about disabling the Remote Control
Key function, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.

After using the rear differential lock, or when resum-
ing normal driving, push the differential lock mode
switch to the OFF position. The differential lock indi-
cator light will turn off after the differential lock is
released.
NOTE
• The rear differential lock-up device operates
only when the engine is running.
• In 4H mode, the rear differential lock-up de-
vice does not operate when the differential
lock mode switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion. (The differential lock indicator light will
flash.) WARNING
• Use the rear differential lock only in an emer-
gency when it is not possible to free astuck
vehicle even using the 4LO position.
• When the differential lock is in operation, turn-
ing the vehicle becomes hard and, especially
at high speeds, is dangerous.
• While differential lock is on, the Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light and the
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) off indi-
cator light illuminate. This indicates that anti-
lock function may not fully operate.
• Do not operate the differential lock when the
vehicle is turning or when one side wheel is
rotating. Otherwise the power train system
parts could be damaged. •
Avoid quick starts while the differential lock is
in operation. Otherwise the power train sys-
tem parts could be damaged.
Observe the above precautions. Otherwise, loss
of normal steering control may result. WARNING
• The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) sys-
tem is designed to help the driver maintain
stability but does not prevent accidents due
to abrupt steering operation at high speeds or
by careless or dangerous driving techniques.
Reduce vehicle speed and be especially care-
ful when driving and cornering on slippery sur-
faces and always drive carefully.
• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension. If
suspension parts such as shock absorbers,
struts, springs, stabiliser bars, bushings and
wheels are not recommended by RENAULT
for your vehicle or are extremely deteriorated,
the ESP system may not operate properly.
This could adversely affect vehicle handling
performance, and the ESP warning light may illuminate.
• If brake related parts such as brake pads, ro-
tors and callipers are not RENAULT-recom-
mended or are extremely deteriorated, the
ESP system may not operate properly and the
ESP warning light may illuminate.
• If engine control related parts are not
RENAULT recommended or are extremely de-
teriorated, the ESP warning light may illu-
minate.
