RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: usage (2/4)
“Hands-free” locking using the
sensor 3
If you wish to lock your vehicle while the
card is within range, make sure that the
doors and boot are closed and place
your finger over the sensor 3 on the
driver’s door handle. The vehicle will
lock.
Note: The sensor cannot be used to
lock the vehicle unless the RENAULT
card is within the access zone 1.
Special features of the locking
system
Having locked the vehicle by pressing
the sensor 3, there is a delay of approx-
imately 3 seconds before it can be un-
locked again. During these 3 seconds,
the door handles can be tried to make
sure that the vehicle is locked properly.
If a door is open or not properly closed:
– when locking using the sensor 3,
the vehicle will lock/unlock in quick
succession, but the hazard warning
lights will not flash;
– the vehicle will not lock as you move away.

Remote “Hands-free” locking
With the RENAULT card on you, and
doors and boot closed, move away
from the vehicle: it will lock automati-
cally as soon as you leave the access
zone.
Note: The distance at which the vehicle
locks depends on the surroundings.
To indicate that the doors have been
locked, the hazard warning lights
flash once and then light up for ap-
proximately four seconds, and a beep
sounds in confirmation.

“Hands-free” unlocking
With the RENAULT card in zone 1 ,
place your hand on a door handle 2: the
vehicle will unlock.
The hazard warning lights flash once
to indicate that the doors have been un-
locked.
Pressing button 4 unlocks the whole
vehicle, including the boot, or, for ve-
hicles equipped with an automatic tail-
gate, opens the boot completely.

is opened and closed, and the card is
no longer in the zone 7, the message

card is not inside the vehicle. This will,
for example, prevent you from driving
away after dropping off a passenger
who has kept the card on them.
The warning disappears when the card
is detected again.

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not
self-sufficient alone in your
vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

Door/tailgate open buzzer
At a standstill, warning light 3 lights
up on the instrument panel alongside
warning light 4, indicating the opening
element(s) (door, boot) open or incor-
rectly closed. Once the vehicle reaches a speed of
approximately 12 mph (20 km/h), a war-
ning light indicates if the door(s) or lug-
gage compartment are open or impro-
perly closed, along with the message

Heated seats
With the ignition on:
– Pressing the switch 5 on the requi-
red seat for the first time activates
the heating system on high. Both in-
tegrated switch warning lights come
on;
– pressing the switch for the second time changes the heating to low. One
integrated warning light comes on;
– pressing for the third time turns the heating off.
FRONT SEATS WITH MANUAL CONTROL (2/2)
For safety reasons, make
these adjustments only
when the vehicle is statio-
nary.
We would advise you not to recline
the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as such
objects may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.
Operating faults
When an operating fault is detected,
the integrated warning lights on the
switch 5 for the seat concerned flash.
Consult an approved dealer.

SEAT BELTS (2/3)
Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 3 locks into
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pul-
ling on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

belt (if this seat is occupied) is not fas-
tened and the vehicle has reached
approximately 12 mph (20 km/h), it

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.
airbags for driver and
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.

1.34
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact
of the driver’s head and chest against
the steering wheel and of the front pas-
senger against the dashboard. The air
bags then deflate immediately so that
the passengers are not in any way hin-
dered from leaving the vehicle.
Operating faults
å This warning light comes on
when the engine is started and then
goes out after approximately three sec-
onds.
If it does not come on when the ignition
is switched on or if it stays on, there is a
fault in the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.
Your protection will be reduced until this
fault is rectified.
