HANds-fREE RENAULT cARd: use (2/3)
Locking the vehicle
There are three ways to lock the vehi-
cle: remotely, using button 4 , or using
the RENAULT card.
Remote locking
With the RENAULT card on you, and
doors and tailgate closed, move away
from the vehicle: it will lock automati -
cally once you have left zone 1.
Note: the distance at which the vehicle
locks depends on the surroundings. The hazard warning lights
flash twice
and a beep sounds to indicate that the
doors have locked.
The beep may be switched off. Consult
an approved Dealer.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not
properly shut, or a card is in the passen -
ger compartment (or the card reader)
the vehicle will not lock. In this situa -
tion, no beep sounds and the hazard
warning lights do not flash.

Locking using button 4
With the doors and luggage compart -
ment closed, press button 4 on the driv-
er’s door handle. The vehicle will lock.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not
closed properly, the vehicle will quickly
lock/unlock.
Note: a RENAULT card must be within
the vehicle's access zone (zone 1 ) to
be able to lock the vehicle using the
button.
special note:
If you wish to check that the doors are
locked after locking using button 4, you
have approximately three seconds to
try the door handles without unlocking
them.
After this delay, the hands-free mode
is activated once again and any move-
ment of a handle will unlock the vehicle.

the interior handles (for example, by
breaking the window and then trying to
open the door from the inside).

Locking/Unlocking the doors
from the outside
This is done using the RENAULT Card;
see the “RENAULT Card” information in
Section 1.
In certain cases, the RENAULT card
may not work:
– if the RENAULT card battery is weak,
flat, etc.
– 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 into the
card 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 key integrated in
the RENAULT card
– Remove cover A from the left-hand
door (using the end of key 2 ) in
notch 1;
– move it upwards to remove cover A;
– insert the key 2 into the lock of 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.

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 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.
