Operating faults
In certain cases, the RENAULT “hands-
free” card may not work:
– when the RENAULT card battery is drained, etc.;

tor, mobile phone, video game, etc.);
– vehicle located in a high electromag- netic radiation zone.
The message “Place card close to
START button” appears on the instru-
ment panel.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not
self-sufficient alone in your
vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

2.5

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not
self-sufficient alone in your
vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Never switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has stopped completely.

brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as airbags and preten-

Press the window switch down or pull it
up to lower or raise the window to the
desired height: the rear windows do not

selves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as\
the elec-
tric windows or by locking the doors. If a body part gets trapped, rever\
se the direc-
tion of travel of the window as soon as possible by pressing the relevan\
t switch.
Risk of serious injury.

a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.

1 for the driver’s side;
2 for the front passenger side;
3 and 5 for the rear passenger win-
dows.
From the passenger seats, use
switch 6.

when closing (e.g.: fingers, branch of
a tree, etc.) it stops and then lowers
again by a few centimetres.
