After unlocking the vehicle or the
boot only using the buttons of the
RENAULT card, remote locking and
unlocking in hands-free mode are
deactivated.
To reactivate the hands-free mode:
restart the vehicle.
Recommendations
Do not store the RENAULT card
anywhere it may come into contact
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.
In some cases (leaving the vehicle
parked for several days, for example),
you may need to pull handle 2 twice to
unlock the vehicle and open the door.

the doors and the tailgate.

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 thres-
hold 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
example.
The warning disappears when the card
is detected again.

indicate that the doors have been un-

RENAULT CARD: deadlocking
If the vehicle is equipped with a dead-
locking function, this allows you to lock
the opening elements and to prevent
the doors from being unlocked using
the interior handles (for example, by
breaking the window and then trying to
open the door from the inside).
Never use deadlocking if
someone is still inside the
vehicle.

ing activation modes:
– press button 2 twice in quick succes-
sion;
– or, press the button on the driver’s door handle 3 twice in quick succes-
sion.
The hazard warning lights flash five
times to indicate locking.

motely closes the windows and/or
the electric sunroof, on equipped
vehicles.

function using button 2, remote
locking and unlocking in hands-free
mode are deactivated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode:
restart the vehicle.

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.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in-
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the
steering wheel and dashboard (air bag
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle,
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.
