RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: use (1/3)
UseOn equipped vehicles, in addition to 
the functions of the above-mentioned 
remote control RENAULT card, it can 
be used to lock/unlock without using 
the RENAULT card, when it is in access 
zone 1.

41
After unlocking the vehicle or the 
boot only using the buttons of the 
RENAULT card, remote locking and 
unlocking in hands-free mode are 
deactivated.
To reactivate the hands-free mode: 
restart the vehicle.
Recommendations
Do not store the RENAULT card 
anywhere it may come into contact 
with other electronic equipment 
(computer, PDA, phone, etc.) as this 
could hinder its operation.
Unlocking the vehicleWith the RENAULT card in the zone 1, 
press the button 3  or, depending on 
the vehicle, put your hand round the 
handle  2: the vehicle will unlock.
In some cases (leaving the vehicle 
parked for several days, for example), 
you may need to pull handle  2 twice to 
unlock the vehicle and open the door.
Pressing the button  4 also unlocks all 
the doors and the tailgate.
The hazard warning lights  flash once 
to indicate that the doors have been un-
locked.

With the engine running, if having 
once opened and closed a door, the 
card is no longer in the passenger com-
partment, the message “Keycard not 
detected” (accompanied by a warning 
beep once the speed passes a thres-
hold value) will tell you that the card is 
no longer in the vehicle. This avoids 
you driving away after having dropped 
off a passenger who has the card, for 
example.
The warning disappears when the card 
is detected again.
RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: use (3/3)
Locking using the RENAULT card
With the doors and luggage compart-
ment closed, press button  5: the vehi-
cle will lock.
The hazard warning lights  flash twice 
to indicate that the doors have locked.
Note: the maximum distance at which 
the vehicle locks depends on the sur-
roundings. Special features
The vehicle will not lock if:
–  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.
After locking/unlocking the vehicle 
or 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.

To deactivate deadlocking
Unlock the vehicle using button 1 on 
the RENAULT card.
The hazard warning lights flash once to 
indicate that the doors have been un-
locked.
RENAULT CARD: deadlocking
If the vehicle is equipped with a dead-
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).
Never use deadlocking if 
someone is still inside the 
vehicle.
To activate deadlocking
You can choose between two deadlock-
ing activation modes:
– press button  2 twice in quick succes-
sion;
–  or, press the button on the driver’s  door handle  3 twice in quick succes-
sion.
The hazard warning lights flash five  
times to indicate locking.
Activating deadlocking also re-
motely closes the windows and/or 
the electric sunroof, on equipped 
vehicles.
After activating the deadlocking 
function using button  2, remote 
locking and unlocking in hands-free 
mode are deactivated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode: 
restart the vehicle.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this 
mechanism is used to limit the force of 
the belt against the body so that it is at 
an acceptable level.
Air bags for driver and front 
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in-
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the 
steering wheel and dashboard (air bag 
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle, 
a symbol on the lower section of the 
windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
–  an air bag and gas generator fitted  on the steering wheel for the driver 
and in the dashboard for the front 
passenger;
–  an electronic unit for system monitor- ing which controls the gas generator 
electrical trigger system;
– remote sensors;
–  a single warning light 
å on the 
instrument panel.
A
The air bag system uses 
pyrotechnic principles. This 
explains why, when the air 
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does 
not mean that a fire is about to start) 
and make a noise upon detonation. 
In a situation where an air bag is 
required, it will inflate immediately 
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other 
problems.
