f/ Display:
Unlocking is indicated by 1 flash of the direction indicators.
Locking is indicated by 2 flashes of the direction indicators.
When using the "boot status toggle" switch, display is not performed if a toggle request is made when the vehicle is
completely unlocked. In fact, in this case, the vehicle is not locked as only the boot is locked.
If one of the opening elements is detected as open when the request for locking the vehicle is made, the UCH will not
authorise vehicle locking and no indicators will flash to warn the user.
1.1.2 procedure of locking/unlocking by pressing the central door locking button:
This button is used to lock/unlock the vehicle while stationary or moving.
This button has no effect if the vehicle has been locked using the card in hands-free or manual mode.
Pressing the electric central door locking button when a door is unlocked will lock all the doors and the electric
central door locking indicator light will light up. Status ET044 CPE* button may be used to check that the button is
operating correctly.
The operation of the electric central door locking indicator light can be checked using command mode AC020 CPE*
button indicator light.
1.1.3 Principle of automatic locking when driving (RAID* system):
The Automatic Locking when Driving (RAID) function locks the vehicle as soon as the speed signal is above
approximately 4 mph (7 km/h).
Activation or deactivation of the RAID function can be viewed using ET043 RAID* function authorisation by CPE*.
The RAID function can be activated or deactivated by pressing and holding the electric door locking button for
approximately 5 seconds while the engine is running. Acknowledgement is indicated by a buzzer.
1.1.4 Principle of automatic relocking:
Automatic relocking takes place 2 minutes after hands-free or card unlocking if unlocking is not followed by the
opening of a door.
CPE*: Electric central door locking
RAID*: Renault Anti-Intruder Device Note:
Unlocking can be performed by the UCH if the airbag computer has detected an impact or if it is faulty (not
recognised on the multiplex network, internal fault, etc.). (see 88B, Multiplexing).

b/ Locking the steering column:
The steering column is locked with the engine off, after the Renault card is removed from the card reader. This
locking operation requires:
–a valid 0 mph (0 km/h) speed signal,
–a correctly functioning airbag and no impact detected,
–a deactivated + after ignition connection.
When the engine has not been started but the after ignition feed is active (e.g. forced after ignition feed), certain
conditions in which there is a drop in the after ignition feed do not cause the steering column to lock ("steering
column not locked" message).
Steering column lock fails if:
1/ Normal non-locking scenarios:
–the card is present in the card reader,
–more than 20 minutes has elapsed with the card in the reader and the engine off,
–the vehicle speed is not zero,
–power is demanded by the steering column lock too frequently.
With regard to vehicles fitted with UCH computer Vdiag 4F or above:
–the Renault card is removed from the card reader when the vehicle is in forced + after ignition feed,
–3 minutes have elapsed following a starting failure due to an engaged gear,
–the Renault card is removed from the card reader following a starting failure due to an engaged gear,
–a front door is open following a starting failure due to an engaged gear and the card is not in the reader.
To lock the steering column, start and stop the engine again.
2/ Abnormal non-locking scenarios:
–the airbag unit is faulty or locked,
–the airbag unit is disconnected,
–the airbag has been triggered,
–the speed signal is not available.
In the event that a steering column does not lock, the driver is informed via the message Steering column not locked.
1.2.3 Locking the injection computer:
When the + after ignition feed has been established, the UCH and the injection computer compare their codes via
the multiplex network. If the codes are identical, the vehicle immobiliser is deactivated (ET046 Immobiliser).
If there is a failure, the immobiliser remains active.
Reactivating protection: the immobiliser is reactivated when the engine stops.
