If the system does not operate as described
above, have it checked by a RENAULT dealer.
ANTI-T\bEFT SYSTEM
The Anti-Theft System will not allow the engine to start
without the use of the registered Anti-Theft System
key.
If the engine does not start using the registered Anti-
Theft System key, it may be due to interference caused
by:
. Another Anti-Theft System key.
. Automated toll road device.
. Automated payment device.
. Other devices that transmit similar signals.
Start the engine using the following procedure:
1. Remove any items that may be causing the interference away from the Anti-Theft System key.
2. Leave the ignition switch in the “ON” position for approximately 5 seconds.
\f. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or “LOCK” position, and wait approximately 10 seconds. 4. Repeat steps 2 and \f again.
5. Start the engine.
6. Repeat the steps above until all possible inter-
ferences are eliminated.
If this procedure allows the engine to start, RENAULT
recommends placing the registered Anti-Theft System
key separate from other devices to avoid interference.
FCC WARNING:
Changes or modifications not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions; (1) This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the
device.
Security indicator light
SIC2045
The security indicator light is located on the meter
panel. It indicates the status of Anti-Theft System.
The light operates whenever the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”, “OFF” or “ACC” position. The security
indicator light indicates that the security systems on
the vehicle are operational.
If Anti-Theft System is malfunctioning, this light will
remain on while the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position.
