ANTI-T\bEFT SYSTEM
The Anti-Theft System will not allow the engine to start
without the use of the registered Anti-Theft System

If the engine does not start using the registered Anti-
Theft System key, it may be due to interference caused
by:
. Another Anti-Theft System key.
. Automated toll road device.
. Automated payment device.
. Other devices that transmit similar signals.
Start the engine using the following procedure:
1. Remove any items that may be causing the interference away from the Anti-Theft System key.
2. Leave the ignition switch in the “ON” position for approximately 5 seconds.
\f. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or “LOCK” position, and wait approximately 10 seconds. 4. Repeat steps 2 and \f again.
5. Start the engine.
6. Repeat the steps above until all possible inter-
ferences are eliminated.
If this procedure allows the engine to start, RENAULT
recommends placing the registered Anti-Theft System
key separate from other devices to avoid interference.

WARNING:
. Fuel is extremely flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. You
could be burned or seriously injured if it is
misused or mishandled. Always stop the
engine and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle when
refueling.
. Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap a
half of a turn, and wait for any “hissing”
sound to stop to prevent fuel from spraying
out and possibly causing personal injury.
Then remove the cap.
. Use only an original equipment type fuel
filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury.
