Battery life
RENAULT cards are powered by a
battery which must be replaced when
battery tell-tale light 4 no longer lights
up (refer to the information on the
“RENAULT card: battery" in Section 5).
s pecial note: for some vehicles, the
RENAULT card records the settings se-
lected by the card user: the choice of
settings for the automatic climate con -
trol, some radios, electric seats (if this
is stored), the rear view mirror position-
ing, etc. It is therefore advisable always
to keep the same RENAULT card so
that you can recall your personal set -
tings.

erly arranged and secured and

tion of the sunroof.

tails of possible conversions;

closed before leaving your vehicle;

remote control
(vehicles with one-touch electric win -
dows).
When locking the doors, pressing and
holding the RENAULT card’s lock -
ing button for more than 2 seconds
will close the windows and sunroof au-
tomatically.
Special features
If the sunroof panel encounters resist -
ance whilst closing, (somebody’s fin -
gers, an animal’s paw or the branch of
a tree), it stops and then moves back
several centimetres.
It is recommended that the user only
operates the system when the vehi -
cle can be seen clearly and no one
is inside. After closing the sunroof
by remote control, pressing button 2
allows the sunroof to return to its previ-
ous position.
Closing the sunroof can
cause severe injuries.

switch 2, positioned at 0, until the sun-
roof is fully closed: consult an approved

proved Dealer.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
doors.
If something gets trapped, reverse
the direction of travel as soon as
possible by turning button 2 fully to
the right (position B).
Risk of serious injury.

OPENING REAR SCREEN
Vehicle with opening rear
screen
The rear screen is locked and unlocked
at the same time as the doors.
To open
Press button 1.
Lift the rear screen by the base of
screen wiper 2. To close
Hold the base of screen wiper
2 and
fold back the rear screen until it locks
in position.
Driving with the rear screen
open may be unpleasant
for passengers as exhaust
gases may enter the pas -
senger compartment. This must
only be done over short distances
or when transporting bulky ob -
jects without having to open the
tailgate. In that case, close the other
windows and the sunroof and switch
the ventilation to medium or max-
imum power , as this will help to
prevent exhaust gas from entering
the passenger compartment.

ROOF BARS (continued)
Removing the bars
It may sometimes be necessary to
remove the roof bars. To do this:
– unscrew section 5 using screw 4;
– unlock the bars using levers 2 and
slide them backwards to remove
them;
– refit section 5.
For safety reasons, always ensure that
the roof bars are properly secured if
they are being stored inside the vehicle.
Refitting the bars
Proceed in the reverse order to re -
moval.
Check the bars are correctly locked in
position.
Precautions during use
Using the sunroof (on equipped
vehicles) or the tailgate.
As a general rule, it is not advisable
to use the sunroof when there is a
load on the roof bars.
Before opening the sunroof or tail -
gate, check the objects and/or ac -
cessories (bike rack, roof box, etc.)
fitted to the roof bars: these must be
correctly positioned and secured, so
as not to hinder the operation of the
sunroof or luggage compartment lid.
Contact an approved dealer for de-
tails of possible conversions;

equipment adapted to your vehi -
cle, we advise you to consult an ap-
proved Dealer.
Refer to the fitting instructions for in-
formation on how to fit roof bars and
conditions of use.
Please keep these instructions with
the rest of the vehicle documenta -
tion.
Maximum permissible load on
roof rack: refer to the information
on “Weights” in Section 6.
