KEYS
1Remote control coded ignition
key, key for doors and fuel filler
cap.
If there is a child (or animal) in the car, never leave it unattended with
the key in the ignition. With the key in the ignition it would be
possible to operate electrical equipment such as the window risers
and there is a risk that the child may be seriously injured (by trapping
his or her neck, arm, hand, etc.).

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKING
The plip remote control1locks and
unlocks the doors.
It is supplied with power by a
battery which has to be replaced
when the battery tell-tale light2no
longer illuminates. (Refer to the
information on the radio frequency
remote control batteries.)
Locking/unlocking the doors
Press the remote control for
approximately one second to lock or
unlock the doors. (Tell-tale light2
will illuminate.)
- The hazard warning lights flash
twiceto indicate that the doors
have beenlocked.
Note:Depending on the vehicle, if
either a door or tailgate is open or
not properly closed or if a rear
interior light remains in the
“continuous lighting” position
(see information on “interior
lights” in section 3), the hazard
warning lights will not flash.
- The hazard warning lights flash
onceto indicate that the doors
have beenunlocked.
The range within which the
remote control will operate
This varies according to the
environment: therefore take care
when handling the remote control
that you do not inadvertently lock
or unlock the doors.
Note:On certain vehicles, if a door
is not opened within approximately
30 seconds of unlocking the door
using the remote control, the doors
will lock again automatically.
Interference
Interference may be caused to the
operation of the remote control by
factors in the immediate vicinity
(external installations or the use of
equipment operating on the same
frequency as the remote control).If you lose your keys or need
another set of keys (or a remote
control),contact your Renault
Dealer.
• If a remote control unit is
replaced, it will be necessary to
take the vehicle to your Renault
Dealer because both the vehicle
and all the remote control units
are needed to initialise the
system.
• No more than two remote controls
can be used on one vehicle.
• Make sure that the batteries are
always in good condition - they
last for approximately two years.

ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This prevents the engine being
started by anyone who does not
have the coded key for the vehicle.
Any operation on or
modification to the
immobiliser system
(computers, wiring, etc.)
may be dangerous. It must be
carried out by qualified Renault
personnel.

protected a few seconds after the
key has been removed from the
ignition.
When the ignition is switched on,
warning light1illuminates for a few
seconds then extinguishes.
The vehicle has recognised the code
and the engine may be started.
If the code of the ignition key is not
recognised by the vehicle, warning
light1will flash continuously and
the engine cannot be started.• System operation warning light
When the ignition is switched on,
warning light1illuminates for
approximately three seconds, then
extinguishes. The engine may then
be started.
• Vehicle protection warning light
A few seconds after switching the
ignition off, warning light1flashes
continuously.
The vehicle is only protected once
the key has been removed from the
ignition.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT(continued)
Driver and passenger
air bag (continued)
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;
- A computer for both systems,
which includes the impact
detector and a monitor controlling
the electrical trigger system for the
gas generator;
- One single tell-tale light1on the
instrument panel.Operation
The system is only operational after
the ignition has been turned on
(ignition key in position“M”
ignition on).
If a severefrontalimpact occurs, the
air bag(s) inflate(s) in approximately
30 millisecond(s), cushioning the
impact of the driver’s head against
the steering wheel and the front
passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers
are not impeded in any way when
they get out of the vehicle.
The air bag system uses the
principles of pyrotechnics. This
explains why, when the air bag
inflates, it will generate 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 must inflate
immediately and this may cause
some minor, superficial grazing to
the skin.Operating fault
Tell-tale light1illuminates on the
instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then extinguishes
after a few seconds.
If it does not illuminate when the
ignition is turned on or if it flashes,
there is a fault in the system.
Consult your Renault Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be
reduced until this problem is
rectified.
