Safety of rear occupants
The driver can authorise operation of the rear doors and, depending on
the vehicle, the rear electric windows by pressing switch 4 . The inte -
grated indicator on the switch confirms this.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card inside and never leave a child
(or a pet) unsupervised, even for a short while. The reason for this is that the child
may endanger himself or others by starting the vehicle, activating equipment such
as the windows, or locking the doors. If any part of the body becomes trapped,
reverse the direction of the window immediately by pressing the relevant\
switch.
Risk of serious injury.

tric windows).
When locking the doors, pressing and
holding the RENAULT card's locking
button for more than 2 seconds will
close the windows automatically.
Special note
If the window detects resistance when
closing (e.g. a person’s fingers, an ani-
mal’s paw, the branch of a tree, etc.) it
stops and then lowers again by a few
centimetres.
The system should only be used if the
driver can clearly see that nobody is
inside the vehicle.
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.
Operating faults
If a window cannot be closed or if the
battery is disconnected, the system re-
verts to normal mode: press the switch
concerned as often as necessary to
close the window, then hold the switch
(still on the closure side) for one second
to reinitialise the system. If necessary,
contact an approved Dealer.
