1.3 SUB-FUNCTION: STARTING
The UCH manages the control section of the starting sub-function. For this function to operate normally, the
protection function must proceed correctly (immobiliser inactive ET046 Immobiliser).
In order to control the starter motor, the UCH requires the following status and parameter information to check that
the starting conditions have been met:
–Start button ET070 Start button.
–Clutch pedal position ET048 Clutch pedal position.
–Brake pedal position ET047 Brake pedal position.
–Automatic gearbox selector lever position ET108 Automatic gearbox selector lever position.
–Position of the manual gearbox selector lever (see 87G, Engine compartment connection unit, Conformity
check).
If the starting conditions are met, the request for the Protection and Switching Unit to activate the starter motor can
be viewed using status ET110 UCH request to injection or Protection and Switching Unit.
1.4 Main COMPONENTS of the ACCESS/SAFETY function
1.4.1 Main components of the ACCESS sub-function:
–Renault card,
–UCH,
–optical presence sensors located in the door handles,
–access aerials integrated in the door handles and the tailgate,
–the locking switches incorporated in the door handles,
–the boot-only opening/locking switch built into the boot badge,
–opening element locking motors.
1.4.1.1 The Renault card:
The Renault card has three buttons which allow:
–locking of the vehicle,
–unlocking of the vehicle,
–the boot to be locked/unlocked.
The Renault hands-free card allows hands-free operation if it is located in the access and starting zones.
The Renault card is powered by a 3 V battery. This battery is required for operation in hands-free mode or remote
control mode (card button presses).
If the battery is old or in an area of frequency interference, the emergency insert located in the Renault card allows
the driver's door to be unlocked.

1.4.3 Main components of the STARTING sub-function:
The starting sub-function is based on the following main factors:
–The starting conditions being present.
–Passenger Compartment Control Unit (UCH).
–The automatic gearbox computer (if fitted on the vehicle).
–The Protection and Switching Unit.
1.4.3.1 Start button:
The start button transmits the driver's requests to start or stop the engine to the UCH.
1.4.3.2 The UCH:
The UCH ensures that the starting conditions are met, and that no other computer on the multiplex network is
inhibiting starting of the vehicle.
If the conditions are met, it requests control of the starter from the UPC.
1.4.3.3 The Protection and Switching Unit (UPC):
The Protection and Switching Unit activates the starter motor following a request from the UCH via the multiplex
network.
1.4.3.4 Neutral sensor (manual gearbox):
Informs the UCH of the position of the gearbox (neutral or gear engaged).
1.4.3.5 Clutch switch (manual gearbox):
Sends clutch pedal depressed signal (end of travel) to the UCH.
1.4.3.6 Brake switch:
Sends brake pedal depressed signal to the UCH.
Operation:
The unknown status does not automatically require the brake pedal to be replaced, because it is a temporary
operating status between released pedal status and depressed pedal status (see diagram above).

2 AIR CONDITIONING FUNCTION
The type of air conditioning control can be displayed by configuration reading LC013 Air conditioning type and
configured using command CF019 Air conditioning type (can be configured during configuration of the UCH
by the SC008 UCH type command).
2.1 Sub-function: USER SELECTION (Non-regulated air conditioning only)
The UCH receives the signal from the air conditioning panel via cable connection for the air conditioning request, for
electric heated rear screen and the signal for passenger compartment blower operation.
The UCH sends the request to the Protection and Switching Unit to start electric heated rear screen de-icing.
The UCH sends the request to the injection system to activate the air conditioning compressor.
The following statuses can be displayed:
–ET029 Air conditioning button.
–ET028 Heated rear screen button.
–ET015 Passenger compartment fan.
Operation of the indicator lights on the air conditioning and electric heated rear screen request buttons can be
checked using the following actuator commands:
AC015 Air conditioning button indicator and AC019 Heated rear screen indicator.
2.2 Sub-function: HEATING
The UCH manages the passenger compartment heating resistors (RCHs) by controlling power relays according to
the request for ventilation in the passenger compartment, the engine coolant temperature, the external temperature,
the electrical power balance, engine loading and, for the cabriolet version, if the roof is open.
The following statuses and parameters produced by the UCH can be displayed:
–PR001 Battery voltage.
–PR002 External temperature.
–ET015 Passenger compartment blower only with non-regulated air conditioning.
–ET017 Number of RCH*s required.
–ET018 Number of RCH*s authorised by alternator alternator charge rate.
–ET019 Number of RCH*s authorised by injection system.
–ET020 Number of RCH*s activated.
–ET021 RCH* 1 control.
–ET022 RCH* 2 control.
–ET031 Fast idle request for RCH.
–ET169 Engine.
–ET025 Retractable roof for cabriolet version only.
–ET026 Heated rear screen switch.
*RCH = Passenger Compartment Heating Resistors

3 WIPER FUNCTION
3.1 Sub-function: WIPER CONTROL
The UCH receives the driver's request when the wiper stalk is used.
Windscreen wiper:
The UCH requests the Protection and Switching Unit via the CAN network to supply power to the windscreen wiper.
The park position is managed by the Protection and Switching Unit.
The wiper control stalk has four positions (neutral, intermittent wiping, slow speed and fast speed) and a wiper
intermittent speed ring which varies the time between each wipe.
Special notes:
If the windscreen wiper is set to low speed when the vehicle is moving and then the vehicle stops, the system switches
to intermittent wipe.
The requests made to the UCH by the wiper stalk can be displayed using statuses: ET077 Wiper stalk position and
ET096 Wiper intermittent speed ring.
If the vehicle is fitted with a rain sensor, (see special features of the rain and light sensor).
Rear screen wiper:
Rear wiper speed and power supply are also controlled by the UCH.
Windscreen wiper outside neutral position:
–The rear screen wiper starts to operate as soon as reverse gear is engaged and rain drops are detected on the
windscreen wiper.
–When the vehicle is stationary, the wipers operate intermittently every 7 seconds; over 36 mph (60 km/h) they
operate every 3 seconds. There is no continuous wiping function, except during the rear screen washer control.
The statuses corresponding to operation of the rear screen wiper can be displayed using statuses ET080 Rear
screen wiper request, ET097 Rear screen wiper park position and ET109 Reverse gear engaged or ET108
Automatic gearbox lever position, by configuration reading LC064 Rear screen wiper and by configuration
CF166 Rear screen wiper.
Windscreen washers:
The front and rear windscreen washers are controlled directly by the wiper control stalk, via a wire connection.
These connections are doubled up to the UCH to permit command status reading.
ET078 Windscreen washer request,
ET079 Rear screen washer request.
Special features of headlight washers
For vehicles fitted with xenon bulbs, the headlight washers are actuated at the same time as the windscreen washer,
only if the headlights are on.
Two cases are possible concerning the control of the headlight washers.
First case: (vehicles fitted with a SIEMENS Vdiag 44 UPC): the UCH sends the command by cable to two headlight
washer relays on a relay plate underneath the UPC.
Second case: (vehicles fitted with a LEAR Vdiag 48 or later): the UCH requests the UPC via the multiplex network to
activate the washer relays.
WARNING
If the UCH does not manage to determine the position of the control stalk, or inform the Protection and Switching
Unit of the control stalk's position, the Protection and Switching Unit will activate the windscreen wiper at low speed
(defect mode).
