ters or cellular phones.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, \fENA\bLT
recommends erasing the ID code of that Intelligent
Key from the vehicle. This may prevent the unauthor-
ized use of the Intelligent Key to operate the vehicle.
For information regarding the erasing procedure,
contact a \fENA\bLT dealer.
The Intelligent Key function can be disabled. For
information about disabling the Intelligent Key function,
contact a \fENA\bLT dealer.
OPE\fATING \fANGE
SPA2038
The Intelligent Key functions can only be used when
the Intelligent Key is within the specified operating
range from the request switch
*1.
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged or
strong radio waves are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent Key system’s operating range
becomes narrower, and the Intelligent Key may not
function properly.
The operating range is within 80 cm (31.50 in) from
each request switch
*1.
If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door glass,
handle or rear bumper the request switches may not
function.
When the Intelligent Key is within the operating range,
it is possible for anyone, even someone who does not
carry the Intelligent Key, to push the request switch
and lock/unlock the doors.

The microphone is located near the map light.
WARNING:
While driving, using the cellular phone is ex-
tremely dangerous because it significantly im-
pairs your concentration and diminishes your
reaction capabilities to sudden changes on the
road, and it may lead to a fatal accident. This
applies to all phone call situations such as when
receiving an incoming call, during a phone
conversation, when calling through the phone
book search, etc.
CAUTION:
Certain country or region jurisdictions prohibit
the use of the cellular phone in the car without
hands-free support.
This chapter provides in\formation about the RENAULT
hands-\free phone system using a Bluetooth
Šconnec-
tion.
Bluetooth
Šis a wireless radio communication stan-
dard. This system o\f\fers a hands-\free \feature \for your
cellular phone to enhance driving com\fort.
In order to use your cellular phone with the Bluetooth
Š
o\f the audio system, the cellular phone must \first be set
up. Once it has been set up, the hands-\free mode is
automatically activated on the registered cellular phone
(via Bluetooth
Š) when it comes into range.
A noti\fication message appears on the audio display
when the phone is connected, when an incoming call
is being received, as well as when a call is initiated.
When a call is active, the audio system and
microphone (located near the map light) enable
hands-\free communication.
I\f the audio system is in use at the time, the radio, CD,
or AUX source mode will be muted and will stay muted
until the active call has ended.
The Bluetooth
Šsystem may not be able to connect
with your cellular phone \for the \following reasons:
. The cellular phone is too \far away \from the vehicle.
. The Bluetooth
Šmode on the cellular phone has
not been activated.
. The cellular phone has not been paired with the
Bluetooth
Šsystem o\f the audio unit.
. The cellular phone does not support BluetoothŠ
technology (BT Core v1.2, \bands Free Pro\file v1.0
and Object Push Pro\file v1.0) . NOTE:
For details, see the cellular phone’s owner’s
manual.
\bands-\free phone setup
To set up the BluetoothŠsystem to pair with (connect
or register) a pre\ferred cellular phone, push the
button, select the BluetoothŠkey, and then push the
TUNE/MENU/ENTER dial. It is also possible to display
the set up menu directly by pushing the
button.
. Pair Device
Bluetooth
Šcellular phones can be paired with the
system. A maximum o\f 5 cellular phones can be
registered.
. Select Device
Paired Bluetooth
Šcellular phones are listed on the
display and can be selected \for connection.
. Delete Device
A registered Bluetooth
Šcellular phone can be
deleted.
. Bluetooth
I\f this setting is turned o\f\f, the connection between
the Bluetooth
Šdevices and the in-vehicle Blue-
toothŠmodule will be cancelled.
When success\fully paired, a noti\fication message will
be displayed. During the connection the \following
status icons will be displayed (top le\ft o\f display):
Signal strength (
) , Battery status () and
BluetoothŠ().
*: I\f the low battery message comes on, the BluetoothŠ
device must be recharged soon.

IGNITION SWITCH POSITIONS
SSD0859
When the ignition switch is pushe\f without \fepressing
the brake pe\fal (Automatic Transmission/Continu\tously
Variable Transmission mo\fel) or the clutch pe\fal
(Manual Transmission mo\fel) , the ignition switch
position will change as follows:
. Push once to change to “ACC\b.
. Push two times to change to “ON\b.
. Push three times to change to “OFF\b.
. Push four times to return to “ACC\b.
. Open or close any \foor to return to “LOCK\b when
in the “OFF\b position.
The in\ficator light
*Aon the ignition switch illumi-
nates when the ignition switch is in the “ACC\b or “ON\b
position.
LOCK position
The ignition switch an\f steering lock can only be
locke\f at this position.
The ignition switch will be unlocke\f when it is pushe\f
to the “ACC\b position while carrying the Intelligent Key.
ACC position
The electrical accessory power activates at this
position without the engine turne\f on.
ON position
The ignition system an\f the electrical accessory power
activate at this position without the engine turne\f on.
OFF position
The engine is turne\f off with the steering wheel
unlocke\f.
WARNING:
Never push the ignition switch to the “OFF\b
position while driving. The steering wheel may
lock and cause the driver to lose control of the
vehicle, resulting in serious vehicle damage or
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the vehicle for extended periods of
time when the ignition switch is in the “ACC” or
“ON” position and the engine is not running.
This can discharge the battery.
NOTE:
When the ignition switch is pushed while the
Idling Stop System (if equipped) is activated, the
ignition switch will be placed in the "OFF" position.
INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY DISCHARGE
SSD0860
If the battery of the Intelligent Key is \fischarge\f, or
environmental con\fitions interfere with the Intelligent
Key operation, start the engine accor\fing to the
following proce\fure:
1.
Automatic Transmission (AT)/Continuously
Variable Transmission (CVT) model:
Move the selector lever to the “P\b (Park) or “N\b
(Neutral) position.

Move the shift lever to the “N\b (Neutral) position.
2. Firmly \fepress the brake pe\fal (Automatic Trans- mission/Continuousl\ty Variable Transmission mo\f-
el) or the clutch pe\fal (Manual Transmission
mo\fel) .
3. Touch the ignition switch with the Intelligent Key as illustrate\f. (A chime will soun\f.)
4. Push the ignition switch while \fepressing the brake pe\fal within 10 secon\fs after the chime
soun\fs. The engine will start.

blink in yellow (on the meter) even if the
Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. This is
not a malfunction. To stop the warning light
from blinking, touch the ignition switch with
the Intelligent Key again.
. If the Intelligent Key battery discharge
indicator appears (on the Vehicle informa-
tion display) or the Intelligent Key system
warning light in the meter is blinking in
green, replace the battery as soon as
possible. (See “Battery”(P.8-23) .)GA\fOLI\bE E\bGI\bE

these procedures for max\fmum veh\fcle performance
and dr\fv\fng enjoyment.
CAUTION:
.The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting the transmission into
a forward or reverse position before the
engine has warmed up.
. Avoid revving up the engine while the
vehicle is stopped. This could cause unex-
pected vehicle movement.
. Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads.
This may cause a loss of control.
. Never shift to either the “P” (Park) or “R”
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could cause serious damage to the
transmission.
. Start the engine in either the “P” (Park) or
“N” (Neutral) position. The engine will not
start in any other position. If it does, have
your vehicle checked by a RENAULT dealer.
. Shift into the “P” (Park) position and apply
the parking brake when at a standstill for
longer than a short waiting period.
. Keep the engine at idling speed while
