CAUTION:
.Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you.
Do not leave the vehicle with the Intelligent
Key inside.
. Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you
when driving. The Intelligent Key is a preci-
sion device with a built-in transmitter. To
avoid damaging it, please note the follow-
ing.
— The Intelligent Key is water resistant;
however, wetting may damage the In-
telligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets
wet, immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.
— Do not bend, drop or strike it against another object.
— Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in a place where tem-
peratures exceed 608C (1408F) .
— Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
— Do not use a magnet key holder.
— Do not place the Intelligent Key near equipment that produces a magnetic
field such as a TV, audio equipment
and personal computers or cellular
phones. — Do not allow the Intelligent Key to come
into contact with water or salt water,
and do not wash it in a washing
machine. This could affect the system
function.
. If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen,
RENAULT recommends erasing the ID code
of that Intelligent Key. This will prevent the
Intelligent Key from unauthorized use to
unlock the vehicle. For information regard-
ing the erasing procedure, please contact a
RENAULT dealer.
Mechanical key
SPA2033
To remove the mechanical key, release the lock kno\b at
the \back of the Intelligent Key.
To install the mechanical key, firmly insert it into the
Intelligent Key until the lock kno\b returns to the lock
\fosition.
Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
(See “Door locks” (P.3-4) .)
WARNING:
.Always look before opening any doors, to
avoid an accident with oncoming traffic.
. Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls and inadver-
tently become involved in a serious accident.
SUPER LOCK SYSTEM (if equi\f\fed)
WARNING:
For Super Lock System equipped models, failure
to follow the precautions below may lead to
hazardous situations. Make sure the Super Lock
System activation is always safely conducted.
.When the vehicle is occupied, never lock the
doors with the remote keyless entry system
or the Intelligent Key system. Doing so will
trap the occupants, since the Super Lock
System prevents the doors from being
opened from the inside of the vehicle.
. Only operate the remote controller or the
Intelligent Key lock button when there is a
clear view of the vehicle. This is to prevent
anybody from being trapped inside the
vehicle through the Supper Lock System
activation.
Locking the doors with the remote controller or the
Intelligent Key “LOCK” \button
or the request
switch will lock all doors and activate the Su\fer Lock
System.
This means that none of the doors can \be o\fened from
the inside in order to \frevent theft.
