RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKING
The plip remote control1locks and
unlocks the doors.
It is supplied with power by a
battery which has to be replaced
when the battery tell-tale light2no
longer illuminates. (Refer to the
information on the radio frequency
remote control batteries.)
Locking/unlocking the doors
Press the remote control for
approximately one second to lock or
unlock the doors. (Tell-tale light2
will illuminate.)
- The hazard warning lights flash
twiceto indicate that the doors
have beenlocked.
Note:Depending on the vehicle, if
either a door or tailgate is open or
not properly closed or if a rear
interior light remains in the
“continuous lighting” position
(see information on “interior
lights” in section 3), the hazard
warning lights will not flash.
- The hazard warning lights flash
onceto indicate that the doors
have beenunlocked.
The range within which the
remote control will operate
This varies according to the
environment: therefore take care
when handling the remote control
that you do not inadvertently lock
or unlock the doors.
Note:On certain vehicles, if a door
is not opened within approximately
30 seconds of unlocking the door
using the remote control, the doors
will lock again automatically.
Interference
Interference may be caused to the
operation of the remote control by
factors in the immediate vicinity
(external installations or the use of
equipment operating on the same
frequency as the remote control).If you lose your keys or need
another set of keys (or a remote
control),contact your Renault
Dealer.
• If a remote control unit is
replaced, it will be necessary to
take the vehicle to your Renault
Dealer because both the vehicle
and all the remote control units
are needed to initialise the
system.
• No more than two remote controls
can be used on one vehicle.
• Make sure that the batteries are
always in good condition - they
last for approximately two years.

SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your car. You must also
comply with the local legislation in
the particular country you are in.
Before driving off:
- First ensure that your driving
position is correct.
- Then, to provide maximum
safety, adjust your seat belt
correctly.
Incorrectly adjusted seat
belts may cause injuries
in the event of an
accident.
Even pregnant women should
wear a seat belt. In this case,
ensure that the pressure of the
lap belt on the abdomen is not
excessive.Adjusting your driving position
• Sit with your back firmly against
the seatback.
This is essential to ensure your
lumbar vertebrae are in the
correct position.
•Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals.
Your seat should be as far back as
possible to allow you to press the
clutch pedal fully down. The
seatback should be adjusted so
that your arms remain slightly
bent.
•Adjust the position of the head
restraint.
For maximum safety, your head
should be as close as possible to
the head restraint.
•Adjust the height of the seat.
This adjustment allows you to
select the seat position which
offers you the best possible
vision.
•Adjust the position of the steering
wheel
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The shoulder strap1should be as
close to the base of the neck as
possible but not on it.
The lap strap2should be held
firmly over the thighs and against
the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close to the body as possible, i.e.
avoid wearing heavy clothing or
having bulky objects under the
belts.
