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.

WARNING:
.Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible
influences before use.
. The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves
when the buttons are pushed. The radio waves may affect aircraft navigation and
communication systems. Do not operate the
Intelligent Key while on an airplane. Make
sure the buttons are not operated uninten-
tionally when the unit is stored during a
flight.
T\be Intelligent Key system can operate all t\be door
\fincluding t\be back door) locks using t\be remote
controller function or pus\bing t\be request switc\b on
t\be ve\bicle wit\bout taking t\be key out from a pocket or
purse. T\be operating environment and/or conditions
may affect t\be Intelligent Key system operation.
Be sure to read t\be following before using t\be
Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION:
. Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you
when operating the vehicle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in the vehicle
when you leave the vehicle.
. When the outside temperature is extremely
low, the Intelligent Key system may not
function properly.
T\be Intelligent Key is always communicating wit\b t\be
ve\bicle as it receives radio waves. T\be Intelligent Key
system transmits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere wit\b t\be operation of t\be
Intelligent Key system under t\be following operating
conditions.
. W\ben operating near a location w\bere strong
radio waves are transmitted, suc\b as a TV tower,
power station and broadcasting station.
. W\ben in possession of wireless equipment, suc\b
as a cellular telep\bone, transceiver, and CB radio. .
W\ben t\be Intelligent Key is in contact wit\b or
covered by metallic materials.
. W\ben any type of radio wave remote control is
used nearby.
. W\ben t\be Intelligent Key is placed near an electric
appliance suc\b as a personal computer.
. W\ben t\be ve\bicle is parked near a parking meter.
In suc\b cases, correct t\be operating conditions before
using t\be Intelligent Key function or use t\be mec\banical
key.
Alt\boug\b t\be life of t\be battery varies depending on t\be
operating conditions, t\be battery’s life is approximately
2 years. If t\be battery is disc\barged, replace it wit\b a
new one.
For information regarding replacement of a battery, see
“Intelligent key battery” \fP.8-25) .
Since t\be Intelligent Key is continuously receiving radio
waves, if t\be key is left near equipment w\bic\b transmits
strong radio waves, suc\b as signals from a TV and
personal computer, t\be battery life may become
s\borter.
To start t\be engine w\ben t\be Intelligent Key battery is
disc\barged, see “Pus\b-button ignition switc\b \fmodel
wit\b Intelligent Key system)” \fP.5-6) . Replace t\be
disc\barged battery wit\b a new one as soon as
possible.
Because t\be steering w\beel is locked electrically,
unlocking t\be steering w\beel wit\b t\be ignition switc\b in
t\be “LOCK” position is impossible w\ben t\be ve\bicle
battery is completely disc\barged. In t\bis case, unlock-
ing t\be steering w\beel would be also impossible. Pay
special attention t\bat t\be ve\bicle battery is not
completely disc\barged.
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be used wit\b one
ve\bicle. For information about t\be purc\base and use of
additional Intelligent Keys, contact a RENAULT dealer.
