f/ Display:
Unlocking is indicated by 1 flash of the direction indicators.
Locking is indicated by 2 flashes of the direction indicators.
When using the "boot status toggle" switch, display is not performed if a toggle request is made when the vehicle is
completely unlocked. In fact, in this case, the vehicle is not locked as only the boot is locked.
If one of the opening elements is detected as open when the request for locking the vehicle is made, the UCH will not
authorise vehicle locking and no indicators will flash to warn the user.
1.1.2 procedure of locking/unlocking by pressing the central door locking button:
This button is used to lock/unlock the vehicle while stationary or moving.
This button has no effect if the vehicle has been locked using the card in hands-free or manual mode.
Pressing the electric central door locking button when a door is unlocked will lock all the doors and the electric
central door locking indicator light will light up. Status ET044 CPE* button may be used to check that the button is
operating correctly.
The operation of the electric central door locking indicator light can be checked using command mode AC020 CPE*
button indicator light.
1.1.3 Principle of automatic locking when driving (RAID* system):
The Automatic Locking when Driving (RAID) function locks the vehicle as soon as the speed signal is above
approximately 4 mph (7 km/h).
Activation or deactivation of the RAID function can be viewed using ET043 RAID* function authorisation by CPE*.
The RAID function can be activated or deactivated by pressing and holding the electric door locking button for
approximately 5 seconds while the engine is running. Acknowledgement is indicated by a buzzer.
1.1.4 Principle of automatic relocking:
Automatic relocking takes place 2 minutes after hands-free or card unlocking if unlocking is not followed by the
opening of a door.
CPE*: Electric central door locking
RAID*: Renault Anti-Intruder Device Note:
Unlocking can be performed by the UCH if the airbag computer has detected an impact or if it is faulty (not
recognised on the multiplex network, internal fault, etc.). (see 88B, Multiplexing).

1.1.6 Principle of Electric Childproof Locking:
The UCH controls the rear door locks to prevent them from being opened by means of the interior door handles and
inhibits operation of the rear electric window switches.
The switch statuses and the activation of electric childproof locks can be viewed using the following statuses:
–ET233 Child safety lock switch,
–ET159 Rear left-hand door child safety lock,
–ET160 Rear right-hand door child safety lock.
The configuration Child safety lock can be read using configuration LC035 Child safety lock and modified (see
Configurations and programming) using the specific command SC016 Child safety lock (Vdiag 4C, 4D, 4F and
50).
Fault finding can be performed on the child safety lock switch indicator light using command AC076 Child safety
lock indicator light.
1.1.7 Principle of Deadlocking:
The UCH controls the door locks to prevent unlocking via the interior handles. This function is activated by pressing
and holding (+ 2 seconds) the Renault card's locking button or by pressing the door locking button twice.
The direction indicators flash rapidly three times for deadlocking (in addition to the two flashes for locking).
For this function to operate, the vehicle must have deadlocking (2 motors) and configuration LC003 Deadlocking
must be WITH (see Configurations and programming). Deadlocking is configured using CF009 Deadlocking.
The source of the last deadlocking activation/deactivation can be viewed using statuses ET088 Deadlocking
activation source and ET090 Deadlocking deactivation source.
It is impossible to deadlock the vehicle if the + accessories feed is active, if the lights are switched on or if the hazard
warning lights are activated.
1.1.8 The valet card function, specific to certain countries (e.g. Mexico):
This function controls the valet card option which enables vehicles fitted with it to separately control unlocking of the
driver's door, the boot, or the passenger doors and the glovebox.
When the vehicle is electrically pre-equipped with the valet option and this option has been configured, the cards can
be used in two different customer modes. The "master" cards can unlock all the opening elements, but the "valet"
cards cannot unlock the glovebox, the boot and the passenger opening elements. They can only start the vehicle,
lock the whole vehicle, and unlock the driver's door. The function is configured with CF085 Valet card function
using the specific command SC008 UCH type. To access CF085, configure CF036 Selective opening element
opening to WITH.
To check that this function has been configured correctly, use LC016 Card valet function.

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.

1.4.1.2 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.

1.4.1.6 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.

3 WIPER FUNCTION
3.1 Sub-function: WIPER CONTROL
The UCH receives the driver's request when the wiper stalk is used.
Windscreen wiper:
The UCH requests the Protection and Switching Unit via the CAN network to supply power to the windscreen wiper.
The park position is managed by the Protection and Switching Unit.
The wiper control stalk has four positions (neutral, intermittent wiping, slow speed and fast speed) and a wiper
intermittent speed ring which varies the time between each wipe.
Special notes:
If the windscreen wiper is set to low speed when the vehicle is moving and then the vehicle stops, the system switches
to intermittent wipe.
The requests made to the UCH by the wiper stalk can be displayed using statuses: ET077 Wiper stalk position and
ET096 Wiper intermittent speed ring.
If the vehicle is fitted with a rain sensor, (see special features of the rain and light sensor).
Rear screen wiper:
Rear wiper speed and power supply are also controlled by the UCH.
Windscreen wiper outside neutral position:
–The rear screen wiper starts to operate as soon as reverse gear is engaged and rain drops are detected on the
windscreen wiper.
–When the vehicle is stationary, the wipers operate intermittently every 7 seconds; over 36 mph (60 km/h) they
operate every 3 seconds. There is no continuous wiping function, except during the rear screen washer control.
The statuses corresponding to operation of the rear screen wiper can be displayed using statuses ET080 Rear
screen wiper request, ET097 Rear screen wiper park position and ET109 Reverse gear engaged or ET108
Automatic gearbox lever position, by configuration reading LC064 Rear screen wiper and by configuration
CF166 Rear screen wiper.
Windscreen washers:
The front and rear windscreen washers are controlled directly by the wiper control stalk, via a wire connection.
These connections are doubled up to the UCH to permit command status reading.
ET078 Windscreen washer request,
ET079 Rear screen washer request.
Special features of headlight washers
For vehicles fitted with xenon bulbs, the headlight washers are actuated at the same time as the windscreen washer,
only if the headlights are on.
Two cases are possible concerning the control of the headlight washers.
First case: (vehicles fitted with a SIEMENS Vdiag 44 UPC): the UCH sends the command by cable to two headlight
washer relays on a relay plate underneath the UPC.
Second case: (vehicles fitted with a LEAR Vdiag 48 or later): the UCH requests the UPC via the multiplex network to
activate the washer relays.
WARNING
If the UCH does not manage to determine the position of the control stalk, or inform the Protection and Switching
Unit of the control stalk's position, the Protection and Switching Unit will activate the windscreen wiper at low speed
(defect mode).

SYSTEM OPERATION
–The valves are activated approximately 1 minute after the vehicle has been running at a speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h).
–During driving, the valves emit signals every minute.
–The valves remain active for 15 minutes after the vehicle stops, then switch to standby mode.
–In standby mode, the valves emit signals only if they detect a pressure difference between two successive
measurements exceeding 68 mbar or if the pressure difference since last emitting exceeds 68 mbar (due to tyre
cooling).
–The tyres are considered to be cold when the vehicle speed has been zero for 1h 45 min.
–The minimum time for detection of a leak is approximately 15 minutes.
–The message Inflate tyres for motorway is displayed only if the vehicle travels at more than 102 mph (170 km/
h) (as an indication) for 3 minutes and the pressure on at least one of the tyres is 400 mbar less than the
recommended pressure at low speed. This message is inactive if the tyres are inflated to motorway pressure,
irrespective of the vehicle speed.
–Alert thresholds:
–over-inflation when cold = recommended pressure + 700 mbar,
–over-inflation when hot = recommended pressure + 850 mbar,
–under-inflation = recommended pressure - 400 mbar,
–serious under-inflation = recommended pressure - 600 mbar,
–imbalance = difference in pressure between the left-hand and right-hand wheels on the same axle greater
than 500 mbar.
–Information messages for the driver:
–Stop! Tyre puncture + STOP warning light + wheel concerned is highlighted on instrument panel display +
buzzer.
–Adjust tyre pressure + the wheel concerned is highlighted on instrument panel display.
–Inflate tyres for motorway + four wheels highlighted on instrument panel display.
–Tyre sensor fault + the wheel concerned is erased.
–Electronic fault + "Service" warning light + the four wheels concerned disappear from the instrument panel
display.
–No display of the tyre inflation pressure on the instrument panel on MEGANE II.

1/ GENERAL INFORMATION
The engine immobiliser protection system is controlled by a RENAULT card recognition system with random rolling
code.
A coded transponder chip (operating without a battery) independent of the remote control function is built into each
of the vehicle's RENAULT Cards.
The engine immobiliser is active a few seconds after the RENAULT Card is removed from the card reader. Its status
is shown by the flashing warning light on the instrument panel and by locking of the steering column lock.
To obtain the immobiliser code, see Technical Note 5037A, Code delivery procedure.
There are two programming methods: "Not connected" to the code server mode and "connected" to the code
server mode.
–In the "not connected" mode, the CLIP diagnostic tool supplies a programming key and the user enters the
immobiliser code.
–In the "connected" mode, the CLIP diagnostic tool automatically exchanges the programming key and the
immobiliser code.
IMPORTANT
If not all of the Renault cards are available, reallocate all Renault cards later. Cards not inserted will no longer be
allocated to this vehicle.
IMPORTANT
In "not connected" mode, once the tool has issued the programming key, the user has a limited amount of time
in which to enter the immobiliser code.
If this time expires, the CLIP diagnostic tool displays the message "Time expired. Restart the procedure.
Note:
When only the UCH is replaced, there is no operation to perform on the injection computer or the steering column
lock, they retain the same immobiliser code.
IMPORTANT
Once a part is programmed with a code, it is allocated to the vehicle; the code cannot be deleted and the part
cannot be reprogrammed with another code. The programmed code cannot be erased.
IMPORTANT
In "connected" mode, the exchange of the programming key and the entry of the immobiliser code is done
automatically.
If the connection parameters are not met, "connected" mode switches automatically to "not connected" mode.
