Locking/Unlocking the doors
from the outside
Refer to “RENAULT cards” or “Radio
frequency remote control” in Section 1.
In some cases , the RENAULT card/
radio frequency remote control will not
operate, or its access area will be modi-
fied:
– if the remote control battery is old or
the vehicle battery discharged;
– if equipment operating on the same
frequency as the card (mobile
phones, etc.) is used;
– vehicle located in a high electromag-
netic radiation zone.
It is then possible:
– to use the key integrated in the
RENAULT card/radio frequency
remote control to unlock the front
left-hand door;
– to lock each of the doors manually;
– to use the interior door locking/un -
locking control (refer to the following
pages).
Using the integrated key
– Remove cover A from the left-hand
door using the end of integrated
key 2 (or the key integrated in the
radio frequency remote control) in
opening 1;
– insert the key into the lock in the front
left-hand door and lock or unlock.
Locking the doors manually
Turn screw 3 with the door open (using
the end of the key) and close the door.
This means that the doors are then
locked from the outside.
The doors may then only be opened
from the inside or by using the key in
the front left-hand door.

For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not
being driven.
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 us\
e.

Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par -
ticular country you are in.
Seat belts
I n c o r r e c t l y a d j u s t e d o r
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving
position
– s it well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head -
rest. For the maximum safety, your
head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close as possible to your body, i.e.:
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep -
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

METhODs OF REsTRAINT IN ADDITION TO ThE FRONT sEAT BELTs (1/3)
Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:
– seat belt inertia reel pretension -
ers;
– chest-level load limiters;
– air bags for driver and front pas -
senger.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner
(which engages to correct seat belt
slack);
– the air bags.
pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
In the event of a severe frontal impact
and if the ignition is switched on, the
system may engage the following de -
pending on the force of the impact:
the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner 1
which instantly retracts the seat belt.
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatso -
ever is permitted on any part of
the system (pretensioners, air
bags, computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
– To avoid incorrect triggering of
the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.
– The electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
air bag gas generators.
