RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: usage (2/4)
“Hands-free” locking using the
sensor 3
If you wish to lock your vehicle while the
card is within range, make sure that the
doors and boot are closed and place
your finger over the sensor 3 on the
driver’s door handle. The vehicle will
lock.
Note: The sensor cannot be used to
lock the vehicle unless the RENAULT
card is within the access zone 1.
Special features of the locking
system
Having locked the vehicle by pressing
the sensor 3, there is a delay of approx-
imately 3 seconds before it can be un-
locked again. During these 3 seconds,
the door handles can be tried to make
sure that the vehicle is locked properly.
If a door is open or not properly closed:
– when locking using the sensor 3,
the vehicle will lock/unlock in quick
succession, but the hazard warning
lights will not flash;
– the vehicle will not lock as you move away.

Note: The distance at which the vehicle
locks depends on the surroundings.
To indicate that the doors have been
locked, the hazard warning lights
flash once and then light up for ap-
proximately four seconds, and a beep
sounds in confirmation.

Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no
automatic locking, the indicator light in-
corporated in switch 2 does not light up
when trying to lock the doors and boot,
etc.), make sure that locking has not
been deactivated by mistake and check
that the doors and boot are properly
closed. If they are correctly locked and
the fault is still present, contact an au-
thorised dealer.
