1.11
Locking the doors manually
Turn screw 2 with the door open (using 
the end of the key) and close the door.
This means that the doors are then

In certain cases, the RENAULT card 
may not work:
–  if the RENAULT card battery is weak, flat, etc.
–  if equipment operating on the same  frequency as the card (mobile 
phones, etc.) is used;
–  vehicle located in a high electromag- netic radiation zone.
It is then possible:
–  to use the key integrated into the  card to unlock the front left-hand 
door;
–  to lock each of the doors manually;
–  to use the interior door locking/un- locking control (refer to the following 
pages).

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (2/2)
Door and tailgate status 
indicator
With the ignition on, the warning light 
integrated in switch  3 informs you of the 
locking status of the opening elements:
–  indicator light on, the doors and tail- gate are locked,
–  indicator light off, the doors and tail- gate are unlocked.
When you lock the doors, the indicator 
light remains lit and then goes out.
Locking the doors without

charged battery or the RENAULT card 
temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine switched off and 
an opening element (door or boot) 
open,  press and hold switch  3 for more 
than five seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors 
and the tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking the vehicle from the outside 
is only possible with the RENAULT card 
in the vehicle's access zone or using 
the key integrated in the RENAULT 
card.

depending on the vehicle, the fuel filler 
flap simultaneously.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not 
closed properly, the doors and tailgate

If you need to transport objects with the 
boot open, the other opening elements 
can still be locked:  with the engine 
stopped,   press switch 3 for more than 
five seconds to lock the other opening 
elements.

may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the 
passenger compartment in the 
event of an emergency.
Never leave your vehicle
