WARNING:
.Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible
influences before use.
. The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves
when the buttons are pushed. The radio waves may affect aircraft navigation and
communication systems. Do not operate the
Intelligent Key while on an airplane. Make
sure the buttons are not operated uninten-
tionally when the unit is stored during a
flight.
T\be Intelligent Key system can operate all t\be door

controller function or pus\bing t\be request switc\b on
t\be ve\bicle wit\bout taking t\be key out from a pocket or
purse. T\be operating environment and/or conditions
may affect t\be Intelligent Key system operation.
Be sure to read t\be following before using t\be
Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION:
. Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you
when operating the vehicle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in the vehicle
when you leave the vehicle.
. When the outside temperature is extremely
low, the Intelligent Key system may not
function properly.
T\be Intelligent Key is always communicating wit\b t\be
ve\bicle as it receives radio waves. T\be Intelligent Key
system transmits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere wit\b t\be operation of t\be
Intelligent Key system under t\be following operating
conditions.
. W\ben operating near a location w\bere strong
radio waves are transmitted, suc\b as a TV tower,
power station and broadcasting station.
. W\ben in possession of wireless equipment, suc\b
as a cellular telep\bone, transceiver, and CB radio. .
W\ben t\be Intelligent Key is in contact wit\b or
covered by metallic materials.
. W\ben any type of radio wave remote control is
used nearby.
. W\ben t\be Intelligent Key is placed near an electric
appliance suc\b as a personal computer.
. W\ben t\be ve\bicle is parked near a parking meter.
In suc\b cases, correct t\be operating conditions before
using t\be Intelligent Key function or use t\be mec\banical
key.
Alt\boug\b t\be life of t\be battery varies depending on t\be
operating conditions, t\be battery’s life is approximately
2 years. If t\be battery is disc\barged, replace it wit\b a
new one.
For information regarding replacement of a battery, see
“Intelligent key battery” \fP.8-25) .
Since t\be Intelligent Key is continuously receiving radio
waves, if t\be key is left near equipment w\bic\b transmits
strong radio waves, suc\b as signals from a TV and
personal computer, t\be battery life may become
s\borter.
To start t\be engine w\ben t\be Intelligent Key battery is
disc\barged, see “Pus\b-button ignition switc\b \fmodel

disc\barged battery wit\b a new one as soon as
possible.
Because t\be steering w\beel is locked electrically,

ing t\be steering w\beel would be also impossible. Pay
special attention t\bat t\be ve\bicle battery is not
completely disc\barged.
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be used wit\b one

.The alarm automatically turns off after approxi-
mately \f0 seconds. \bowever, the alarm reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm is activated by:
. Operating the door without using the Intelligent
Key system.
. Opening the hood.
How to stop alarm:
. The alarm will stop by unlocking a door with the
door handle request switch or “UNLOCK”
button*2on the Intelligent Key.
. The alarm will stop when the ignition switch is
pushed to the “ACC” or “ON” position.
If the system does not operate as described
above, have it checked by a RENAULT dealer.
ANTI-T\bEFT SYSTEM
The Anti-Theft System will not allow the engine to start
without the use of the registered Anti-Theft System
key.
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.
FCC WARNING:
Changes or modifications not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions; (1) This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the
device.
Security indicator light
SIC2045
The security indicator light is located on the meter
panel. It indicates the status of Anti-Theft System.
The light operates whenever the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”, “OFF” or “ACC” position. The security
indicator light indicates that the security systems on
the vehicle are operational.
If Anti-Theft System is malfunctioning, this light will
remain on while the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position.
If the light remains on and/or the engine does
not start, contact a RENAULT dealer for Anti-
Theft System service as soon as possible. Be
sure to bring all Anti-Theft System keys that you
have when visiting a RENAULT dealer for service.
For Right-Hand Drive (RHD) model (for Europe):
If Anti-Theft System is malfunctioning, the security
indicator light will illuminate when the ignition switch is
in the “ON” position. \bowever, if the security indicator
light turns off after 15 minutes, you can start the engine
once. See a RENAULT dealer for Anti-Theft System
service as soon as possible.
