unlocking in hands-free mode are
deactivated.

restart the vehicle.
UseOn equipped vehicles, in addition to
the functions of the above-mentioned
remote control RENAULT card, it can
be used to lock/unlock without using
the RENAULT card, when it is in access
zone 1.
Recommendations
Do not store the RENAULT card
anywhere it may come into con-
tact with other electronic equipment
(computer, PDA, phone, etc.) as this
could hinder its operation.
Unlocking the vehicleWith the RENAULT card in the zone 1,
press the button 3 or, depending on
the vehicle, put your hand round the
handle 2: the vehicle will unlock.

With the engine running, if having
once opened and closed a door, the
card is no longer in the passenger com-
partment, the message “Keycard not
detected” (accompanied by a warning
beep once the speed passes a thresh-
old value) will tell you that the card is no
longer in the vehicle. This avoids you
driving away after having dropped off a
passenger who has the card, for exam-
ple.
The warning disappears when the card
is detected again.

When you lock the doors, the indicator
light remains lit and then goes out.

may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.
Anti-submarining air bag
Located on each of the front seats, it
deploys in order to prevent the occu-
pant from sliding under the seat belt.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
Depending on the vehicle, the pres-
ence of this equipment is indicated
by the word “Airbag” on the steering
wheel, dashboard (air bag zone A) and
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor- ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– remote sensors;
– a single warning light
å on the
instrument panel.
A
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
In a situation where an air bag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other
problems.
