to follow the precautions below may lead to haz-
ardous situations. Make sure the Super Lock Sys-
tem activation is always safely conducted.
• When the vehicle is occupied, never lock the
doors with the integrated key fob. Doing so
will trap the occupants, since the Super Lock
System prevents the doors from being opened

REMOTE CONTROL KEY SYSTEM
(where fitted)
Pre-driving checks and adjustments 3-7

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.

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.

REMOTE CONTROL KEY
OPERATING RANGE
The Remote Control Key functions can only be used
when the Remote Control Key is within the speci-
fied operating range from the request switch ➀.
When the Remote Control Key battery is discharged
or strong radio waves are present near the operat-
ing location, the Remote Control Key system’s op-
erating range becomes narrower, and the Remote
Control Key may not function properly.
The operating range is within 80 cm (31.50 in) from
each request switch ➀.
If the Remote Control Key is too close to the door
glass or door handle, the request switches may not
function.
When the Remote Control Key is within the operat-
ing range, it is possible for anyone, even someone
who does not carry the Remote Control Key, to
push the request switch to lock/unlock the doors. USING REMOTE CONTROL KEY
SYSTEM
The request switch will not function under the fol-
lowing conditions:
•
When another Remote Control Key is left inside
the vehicle
• When the Remote Control Key is not within the
operational range
• When any door is open or not closed securely
• When the Remote Control Key battery is dis-
charged
• When the ignition switch is in the
ACCorON
position
The Remote Control Key system (opening/closing
doors with the door handle request switch) can be
set to remain inactive. (See “[Vehicle Settings]” in
the “2. Instruments and controls” section.) •
Do not push the door handle request switch with
the Remote Control Key held in your hand as
illustrated. The close distance to the door handle
will cause the Remote Control Key system to
have difficulty recognising that the Remote Con-
trol Key is outside the vehicle.
• After locking the doors using the door handle
request switch, make sure that the doors have
been securely locked by operating the door
handles.
• When locking the doors using the door handle
request switch, make sure to have the Remote
Control Key in your possession before operating
the door handle request switch to prevent the
Remote Control Key from being left in the ve-
hicle.
• The door handle request switch is operational
only when the Remote Control Key has been
detected by the Remote Control Key system. JVP0312XZ NIC3086 SP A2407Z
