2015 RENAULT MEGANE HATCHBACK Owners Manual

1.11
LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (1/2)
Locking/Unlocking the doors
from the outside
This is done using the RENAULT Card;
see the “RENAULT Card” information in
Section 1.
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).
Using the key integrated in
the RENAULT card
– Remove cover A from the left-hand
door (using the end of key 2) in
notch 1;
– move it upwards to remove cover A;
– insert the key 2 into the lock of the
front left-hand door and lock or
unlock.
Locking the doors manually
Turn screw 3 with the door open (using
the end of the key) and close the door.
This means that the doors are then
locked from the outside.
The doors may then only be opened
from the inside or by using the key in
the front left-hand door.

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (2/2)
Interior locking/unlocking
door control
Switch 4 controls the doors, tailgate
and, 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
lock/unlock quickly.
If transporting an object with the tail-
gate open, you can still lock the doors:
with the engine stopped, press and
hold switch 4 for more than five sec-
onds to lock the other doors.
Locking the doors without
the RENAULT card
For example, in the event of a dis-
charged battery or the RENAULT card
temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine switched off and a
door or tailgate open, press and hold
switch 4 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.
Door and tailgate status
indicator
When the ignition is on, the indicator
light integrated in switch 4 informs you
of the status of the doors and tailgate:
– 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.
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside.
After locking/unlocking the vehicle
or the tailgate only using the but-
tons on the RENAULT card, remote
locking and unlocking in hands-free
mode are deactivated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:
restart the vehicle.

Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are
driving, remember that it
may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.

1.13
Activating/deactivating the
function
Refer to “Vehicle settings customisation
menu” in Section 1, regarding the “Auto
door locking while driving” function:
= function activated
< function deactivated.
AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING
You can decide whether you want to
activate this function.
Operating principle
After the vehicle is started, the system
automatically locks the doors when you
are driving at approximately 6 mph (10
km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
– by pressing the door unlocking button 1.
– by opening a front door (vehicle sta- tionary).
Note: if a door is opened or closed,
it will automatically lock again when
the vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no
automatic locking, the indicator light in-
corporated in button 1 does not light up
when trying to lock the doors and tail-
gate, etc.), firstly check that the doors
and tailgate are properly closed. If they
are closed correctly, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

FRONT HEADRESTS
To raise the headrest
Pull the headrest upwards to the de-
sired height.
To lower the headrest
Press button 2 and guide the headrest
down to the desired height.
To adjust the angle of the
headrest
Depending on the vehicle, tilt section A
towards or away from you to the re-
quired position.
To remove the headrest
Raise the headrest to its highest po-
sition (tilt the seatback backwards if
necessary). Press button 1 and lift the
headrest to release it.
To refit the headrest
Pull out the headrest rods 3 as far as
possible by pulling from the top. Take
care to ensure they are clean and cor-
rectly aligned and, if there are any prob-
lems, check that the notches are facing
forwards.
Insert the headrest rods into the holes
(tilt the seatback backwards if neces-
sary).
Lower the headrest until it locks, press
button 1 and lower the headrest as far
as possible.
Check that each headrest rod 3 is se-
curely locked in the seatback by trying
to pull them up or push them down.
The headrest is an impor-
tant safety component:
ensure that it is in place and
in the correct position. The
distance between your head and the
headrest and the distance between
the head and section A should be
as small as possible.

ing it towards the front of the vehicle.

ously and remove the headrest.

ble, then press tab 2 and lower it com-
pletely.
When the headrest is set at the
lowest position (position B ) this is
for storage only: it should not be in
this position when a seat is occupied.

The headrest is a safety
component. Ensure that it is
fitted and in the correct po-

should be in line with the top of the
headrest.

1.16
FRONT SEATS WITH MANUAL CONTROL (1/2)
To move the seat forwards or
back
Lift handle 1 to release. Release the
handle once the seat is in the correct
position and ensure that the seat is fully
locked into position.
To raise or lower the seat
base
Move lever 2 as many times as neces-
sary upwards or downwards.
To tilt the seatback
Turn control knob 3 to the required po-
sition.
Heated seats(depending on vehicle)
With the engine running, turn control 4
to either position I, II or III (depending
on the temperature required). An in-
dicator light on the instrument panel
lights up once the front seat heating
system is operating.
The system, which has a thermostat,
decides whether or not the heating is
needed, according to the position se-
lected.
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
We would advise you not to recline
the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as such
objects may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.

To adjust the lumbar support
on the driver’s seat
Lower handle 5 to increase the support
and lift to decrease it.
When the front seat is in
table position, the front pas-
senger air bag must be dis-
abled (see information on
“Child safety: activating/deactivat-
ing the front passenger air bag” in
Section 1).
Risk of serious injury caused by
items resting on the seatback table
which may be dislodged when the
air bag is deployed.
The label (on the dashboard) and
the markings (on the windscreen)
remind you of these instructions.

1.18
Heated seats(depending on vehicle)
With the engine running, turn control 2
to position 1, 2 or 3 (according to the
desired temperature).
The message “Heated seat activated”
will appear on the instrument panel
once the front seat heating system is
operating.
The system, which has a thermostat,
decides whether or not the heating is
needed, according to the position se-
lected.
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
We would advise you not
to recline the seatbacks too
far to ensure that the effec-
tiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as such
objects may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.
Switch 3 is used for adjusting the seat-
back and switch 4 is used for adjusting
the seat squab.
On equipped vehicles, buttons 1 are
used to store the chosen driving posi-
tion (refer to the following page).
