b/ Locking the steering column:
The steering column is locked with the engine off, after the Renault card is removed from the card reader. This
locking operation requires:
–a valid 0 mph (0 km/h) speed signal,
–a correctly functioning airbag and no impact detected,
–a deactivated + after ignition connection.
When the engine has not been started but the after ignition feed is active (e.g. forced after ignition feed), certain
conditions in which there is a drop in the after ignition feed do not cause the steering column to lock ("steering
column not locked" message).
Steering column lock fails if:
1/ Normal non-locking scenarios:
–the card is present in the card reader,
–more than 20 minutes has elapsed with the card in the reader and the engine off,
–the vehicle speed is not zero,
–power is demanded by the steering column lock too frequently.
With regard to vehicles fitted with UCH computer Vdiag 4F or above:
–the Renault card is removed from the card reader when the vehicle is in forced + after ignition feed,
–3 minutes have elapsed following a starting failure due to an engaged gear,
–the Renault card is removed from the card reader following a starting failure due to an engaged gear,
–a front door is open following a starting failure due to an engaged gear and the card is not in the reader.
To lock the steering column, start and stop the engine again.
2/ Abnormal non-locking scenarios:
–the airbag unit is faulty or locked,
–the airbag unit is disconnected,
–the airbag has been triggered,
–the speed signal is not available.
In the event that a steering column does not lock, the driver is informed via the message Steering column not locked.
1.2.3 Locking the injection computer:
When the + after ignition feed has been established, the UCH and the injection computer compare their codes via
the multiplex network. If the codes are identical, the vehicle immobiliser is deactivated (ET046 Immobiliser).
If there is a failure, the immobiliser remains active.
Reactivating protection: the immobiliser is reactivated when the engine stops.

1.2.4 Renault card check by the UCH:
a/ Card check:
When the engine is running, the UCH checks for the presence of the Renault card in the passenger compartment (if
vehicle is hands-free) or in the card-reader when a door is opened then closed. If the Renault card is not detected, a
message on the instrument panel and a buzzer warn the driver.
Command AC036 Internal aerial test is used to check the area covered by the starting aerials inside the passenger
compartment (hands-free vehicles). The card reader flashes when the card is detected.
This command allows a hands-free card to be recognised even if it does not belong to the vehicle.
b/ Low battery warning:
If the Renault card battery is faulty or flat, the change card battery message is displayed on the instrument panel
when the vehicle is started, if there have been 5 attempts to authenticate the Renault card since the battery fault.
c/ Storing information on the card:
A device allowing information relating to the vehicle to be read from the card is available.
Information available: – VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
–Mileage.
–Fuel level.
–Mileage before oil change.
–Tyre pressure (if vehicle fitted with SSPP).
–Status of OBD warning light.
–Oil level.

1.3 SUB-FUNCTION: STARTING
The UCH manages the control section of the starting sub-function. For this function to operate normally, the
protection function must proceed correctly (immobiliser inactive ET046 Immobiliser).
In order to control the starter motor, the UCH requires the following status and parameter information to check that
the starting conditions have been met:
–Start button ET070 Start button.
–Clutch pedal position ET048 Clutch pedal position.
–Brake pedal position ET047 Brake pedal position.
–Automatic gearbox selector lever position ET108 Automatic gearbox selector lever position.
–Position of the manual gearbox selector lever (see 87G, Engine compartment connection unit, Conformity
check).
If the starting conditions are met, the request for the Protection and Switching Unit to activate the starter motor can
be viewed using status ET110 UCH request to injection or Protection and Switching Unit.
1.4 Main COMPONENTS of the ACCESS/SAFETY function
1.4.1 Main components of the ACCESS sub-function:
–Renault card,
–UCH,
–optical presence sensors located in the door handles,
–access aerials integrated in the door handles and the tailgate,
–the locking switches incorporated in the door handles,
–the boot-only opening/locking switch built into the boot badge,
–opening element locking motors.
1.4.1.1 The Renault card:
The Renault card has three buttons which allow:
–locking of the vehicle,
–unlocking of the vehicle,
–the boot to be locked/unlocked.
The Renault hands-free card allows hands-free operation if it is located in the access and starting zones.
The Renault card is powered by a 3 V battery. This battery is required for operation in hands-free mode or remote
control mode (card button presses).
If the battery is old or in an area of frequency interference, the emergency insert located in the Renault card allows
the driver's door to be unlocked.

1.4.1.2 The UCH:
1.4.1.3 The optical presence sensors built into the door handles (hands-free vehicles):
The optical presence sensors inform the UCH of the hands-free unlocking request for the entire vehicle when the
infrared beam is cut in one of the handles (by a hand).
This presence detection starts the hands-free access procedure.
To limit battery use, the optical sensors are powered at 12 V only for 72 hours after the last change of vehicle
locked-unlocked status. After this period, the handle must be pulled to operate a switch* which "wakes up" the UCH
to resupply the optical sensors. In this case, pull the handle a second time to open the door once the card has been
authenticated.
The switch signal* is parallel to the optical sensor signal: activation of the optical sensor or the switch* earths the
signal going to the UCH. Although it is a switch*, the signal is not constant when pulling and holding the handle.
switch*: Switch.a) In hands-free mode, the UCH receives the unlocking request through the optical sensors, and the
locking request through the locking switches.
b) The UCH manages the exchanges with the Renault card.
In hands-free mode:
The UCH interrogates and authenticates the Renault card via the access aerials located in the door
handles and the tailgate, at a frequency of 125 KHz.
After authentication from the UCH, the Renault card responds directly to it at 433 MHz.
Outside hands-free mode:
The UCH receives the access requests coming from card presses at 433 MHz (315 MHz in Japan).
The 433 MHz reception aerial is incorporated in the UCH (except Scénic II fitted with the SSPP function).
The signals are encrypted.
c) The UCH activates the locking motors.
If the exchanges between the Renault card and the UCH are correct, the UCH activates the locking
motors.

1.4.1.5 The locking switches built into the door handles and the tailgate badge (hands-free vehicles):
These switches are used to lock the opening elements. They are not removable, except for the tailgate switch which
is separate from the badge. When a switch is pressed, a UCH track is connected to earth, informing it of a vehicle
locking request. The access aerials are then activated.
The grouping of these switches is shown in the diagram below:

1.4.1.6 The door locking motors:
These are direct current motors (12 V supply). The door locking motors are controlled by the UCH.
The deadlocking function requires a second motor per door.
1.4.2 Main components of the PROTECTION sub-function:
The protection sub-function is based on 4 main coded components:
–The Renault cards.
–The UCH.
–The electric steering column lock.
–The injection computer.
These parts are coded definitively: a part coded for one vehicle may not be used on another vehicle.
It is possible to replace a coded part with an uncoded part using special procedures in the CLIP tool and the vehicle
repair code (See Configuration and programming).
1.4.2.1 The Renault card:
The Renault card enables the vehicle to be started in two modes:
–starting by inserting the card into the reader:
–hands-free starting without insertion of the card into the card reader (hands-free vehicles).
The Renault card is powered by a 3 V battery. This battery is necessary to operate in standard and hands-free mode.
If the battery is too old, or if the vehicle is in an area of frequency interference, hands-free starting is not possible, but
always possible by inserting the Renault card into the reader.
1.4.2.2 The UCH:
a) The UCH detects the starting request (Start button pressed under starting conditions).
b) The UCH authenticates the Renault card via the starting aerials for hands-free mode, or via the card reader for
transponder mode.
c) The UCH manages the exchange with the steering column lock:
The UCH sends an unlocking request to the steering column via the vehicle's multiplex network, and the steering
column responds with the status of the lock bolt.
d) The UCH requests activation of the + after ignition feed from the Protection and Switching Unit.
e) The UCH manages the exchange with the injection computer:
The UCH and the injection computer exchange their codes via the vehicle's multiplex network to deactivate protection
and unlock the immobiliser.
f) The UCH requests the Protection and Switching Unit to supply the starter motor.

1.4.2.3 The electric steering column lock:
The electric steering column lock is controlled by the UCH. The steering column lock works by inserting and
removing a lock bolt. It replaces the Neimann type lock.
The steering column lock is powered outside + after ignition feed. The steering column lock supply is via the after
ignition relay (located in the Protection and Switching Unit) in its rest position, from where it is distributed to the
column lock by the UCH.
The UCH sends an unlocking request and a code to the steering column lock, via the vehicle's multiplex network.
The multiplex network unlocks the steering column lock if the code is recognised.
A sensor located on the column lock bolt informs the UCH, via the multiplex network and by wire connection, that it
is unlocked.
When unlocking is confirmed, the UCH activates the + after ignition feed via the Protection and Switching Unit. The
column lock is no longer supplied.
The column lock has a "+ after ignition feed present on vehicle" wire signal which inhibits locking while the feed is
active.
1.4.2.4 The injection computer:
The injection computer is coded and unlocks following the encrypted challenge exchange with the UCH.
1.4.2.5 The starting aerials (hands-free vehicles):
There are 3 transmitter aerials located in the passenger compartment. They are controlled by the UCH to interrogate
the card during a starting request or in confirming the presence of the card in the vehicle (e.g. after a door is
opened).
The power used allows the whole passenger compartment to be covered, including the boot. Overspill outside the
passenger compartment is minimal.
1.4.2.6 The card reader:
The card reader is connected to the UCH by a wire connection. It provides the transponder function (like a key
recognition ring). It therefore allows authentication of a Renault card without a battery.
If the card is not detected or recognised during hands-free starting, the card reader flashes to tell the customer to
insert the Renault card.IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
The steering column lock is:
–not removable when the bolt is disengaged,
–fitted with a left-hand thread self-shearing mounting bolt.
